Construction in Davie means something different than it does fifteen minutes east. Out here, you’re as likely to be adding a bathroom to a 1970s CBS ranch as you are repairing paddock fencing or squaring up a carport for a horse trailer. Barrett & Sons Construction handles all of it, from kitchen remodels to full home additions, and we do it with something rare in this trade: every scope, allowance, and price change on paper before a single nail moves. If you’re planning construction anywhere in the 33314, call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center.

Why Davie Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. That’s not a marketing line. When you hire us, the person who shook your hand at the estimate is the same person who will stand in your driveway if something needs fixing after the job is done. We live by a simple rule: the permit inspector works for you, not for me, so we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. It protects you, and frankly, it protects us too.
Davie homeowners in Forest Ridge and Shenandoah have seen the difference between a crew that treats their street like a stop on a route and a crew that knows the neighbors, knows the drainage patterns, and answers the phone at 7 p.m. on a Tuesday. We publish our name, our address, and our license number. Look us up before you sign anything. Then ask anyone on your street if they’ve heard of Barrett & Sons. Word travels fast in a town that still has a Western theme on its main drags.
Every completed job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s been the deal since 1998 and it’s not changing.
Construction Services We Offer in Davie
Kitchen Remodeling
We install KraftMaid and Cambria surfaces in Davie kitchens as part of our Kitchen Remodeling in Davie services, and we handle everything from cabinet tear-outs to structural wall removal. Most of the homes we work in were built between 1960 and 1985, so we’re used to finding surprises behind the drywall: original wiring, cast-iron plumbing, and framing that predates today’s hurricane tie-down codes.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Davie.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling in Davie often means gutting a space that’s had forty years of humidity working against it. We address the framing, the venting, and the waterproofing before the tile ever goes up, because a pretty shower over a rotten sill plate is just an expensive mistake waiting to reveal itself.
Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Davie.
Roofing
Davie is in Broward County’s high-velocity hurricane zone, and most local homes still carry roofs that predate the 1992 code overhaul. Our Davie Roofing team installs GAF and CertainTeed systems to current HVHZ standards, with the wind-mitigation documentation your insurance company actually wants to see.

Windows & Doors
Impact windows and doors aren’t a luxury in Davie. They’re the difference between a home that rides out a storm and a home that loses a wall. We install Windows & Doors - Davie products from Andersen, Marvin, PGT, and Simonton, all with permits pulled and inspections signed.
Learn more about our home improvement services and window and door options.
Fence Installation
In Davie, a fence often has two jobs: keep the kids in and keep the horses in. We install residential, privacy, and agricultural fencing, including paddock and perimeter lines that must clear the Town’s equestrian zoning rules as well as standard building code.
Driveway & Pavers
Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers hold up to Davie’s wet season far better than poured concrete does on our saturated, shifting soils. We handle paver driveways, patios, and walkways, with proper base prep so the stones don’t sink or shift after the first rainy summer.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Davie means pouring a foundation on ground with an extremely high water table. We tie every addition into Broward County’s stormwater management grid, because standing water after a summer thunderstorm isn’t something you want under your new slab. Accessory dwelling units are a specialty, and they fall under the same dual-track permitting as agricultural structures in Davie.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Davie
Most of our Davie work happens within a twenty-minute drive of University Drive and the historic downtown corridor. Typical response time for an estimate is one to two business days, and no trip charge applies inside the county.
- Forest Ridge - 1980s and 1990s CBS homes, many now due for roof and window updates.
- Shenandoah - established section with larger lots, frequent kitchen and addition work.
- Raintree - family-heavy streets, lots of bathroom remodels and fence installation.
- Stonebrook - newer construction with ongoing paver and hardscape demand.
Why Davie’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Davie sits on historically low-lying, Everglades-adjacent terrain, and the water table is close enough to the surface that any ground-disturbing work has to be planned around it. We’ve delayed more than one poured slab in Davie because summer thunderstorms left the excavation site saturated for days. That’s not a scheduling failure; that’s the ground telling you it’s not ready. Contractors who pour anyway get cracks, settlement, and callbacks. We’d rather lose a few days than pour over mud.
The housing stock tells a similar story. Most Davie homes are 1960s to 1980s concrete block and stucco ranches built before Hurricane Andrew forced the 1992 code overhaul. That means wind-mitigation retrofits, HVHZ roof replacements, and impact-window upgrades are the most common scopes we quote. And because so many Davie lots carry agricultural zoning, projects here routinely involve barns, stables, and paddock fencing that must clear both residential building codes and the Town’s agricultural overlay permitting. It’s a dual-track process, and it’s one of the reasons out-of-town contractors get tangled up on Davie jobs. We don’t. Tom’s been doing this long enough that the front-desk people at Town Hall know who he is, and that shortens permit turnaround in ways that don’t show up on an invoice but matter when you’re living out of a half-finished kitchen.
Pricing for Construction in Davie
Construction pricing in Davie tracks with Broward County norms, but the water table and the agricultural zoning add legitimate variables. Below are honest, current ranges we’re quoting to Davie homeowners:
- Kitchen remodel: $28,000-$65,000, depending on footprint and whether walls move.
- Bathroom remodel: $14,000-$32,000, depending on waterproofing scope and fixture grade.
- Roof replacement (HVHZ-rated): $14,000-$24,000 for typical CBS ranch footprints.
- Impact window package: $12,000-$28,000, depending on opening count and product line.
- Home addition / ADU: $180-$320 per square foot, with foundation work the main variable on wet lots.
- Paver driveway: $7,500-$18,000, depending on base-prep depth and pattern complexity.
Every quote is a written line-item estimate. If anything changes, you get a written change order before the work happens. That’s how we’ve operated since 1998, and it’s why you’ll never get a surprise invoice from Barrett & Sons. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we’ll show our math.

FAQs About Construction in Davie
A typical Davie kitchen remodel runs $28,000 to $65,000, with the bigger spreads driven by structural changes, custom cabinetry lines like KraftMaid, and stone surfaces like Cambria. Older CBS homes from the 1960s and 1970s often hide electrical and plumbing updates behind the walls, and those costs get identified up front during our written estimate, not mid-project. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, line-item quote on your specific layout.
Yes. Davie enforces residential building codes through the Town, and because of the agricultural overlay zoning that covers much of the town, certain projects face a dual permitting track: standard building permits plus agricultural-structure review. That includes barns, stables, paddock fencing, and sometimes accessory structures on zoned lots. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, and we’d rather walk you through the process than pretend it doesn’t exist.
Most Davie homes were built after 1960, but before Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 code overhaul. That means original roofs often lack the wind-mitigation features insurance companies require today. Replacing a roof to current Broward County HVHZ standards is one of the most common jobs we do in the 33314, and it usually comes with real insurance premium savings once the wind-mitigation inspection is on file.
No, and any contractor who says otherwise hasn’t worked here long. Davie sits on low-lying, Everglades-adjacent ground with an extremely high water table. Any addition, ADU, pool, or foundation project has to tie into Broward County’s stormwater management grid, and we’ve seen summer thunderstorms delay poured slabs for days at a stretch. That’s normal for Davie. A good contractor plans for it and tells you about it before the dig, not after.
We do. Davie is one of the only incorporated municipalities in South Florida that legally preserves equestrian zoning and horse-trail easements, and we’ve built and repaired barns, stables, paddock fencing, and riding arenas that had to clear both building codes and the Town’s agricultural overlay review. If your property is horse-zoned, call (877) 610-1318 and ask for Tom. He’s walked more Davie paddock lines than he can count.

What Davie Customers Say
"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"Every change to the price came as a written change order before the work happened, not as a surprise on the final bill. I did not know contractors still did that."
- Xiomara Benavides"Tom Barrett was on our job most days himself, not just at the quote and then never again. When something needed deciding there was an actual person to decide it with."
- Rosalie Pemberton
