Why Cooper City Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re not the cheapest bid in Cooper City, and we’ll tell you that up front. What we are is the company that writes everything down. Every allowance, every scope change, every dollar. The national outfits that flood this market quote one price over the phone and hand you a different bill at the door. That’s not how Tom Barrett has run things since 1998, and his sons run crews the same way in Cooper City today. Homeowners in Flamingo Gardens and Rock Creek have our number saved because when something needs fixing, we come back. It’s that simple.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. We pull permits on every eligible job because the inspector works for you, not for us, and we like having that second set of eyes on our work. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’s been doing it that way for 29 years.
Cooper City residents get a live person on the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. Someone who can actually talk about your project and your neighborhood.
Construction Services We Offer in Cooper City
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Kitchen Remodeling in Cooper City starts with kitchens built for a different era, with original layouts that wall off the cook from the family. We gut them, rework the footprint, and install brands like KraftMaid and Cambria that you can look up before you sign anything.
Kitchen Remodeling in Cooper City takes the appliances you already picked and builds the room around how you’ll actually use it.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling - Cooper City homes need because builder-grade baths from the 70s and 80s weren’t waterproofed to today’s standards, and Cooper City’s humidity finds every gap. We strip to the studs, rebuild with modern waterproofing, and handle the permitting and inspections that older homes usually need.
Bathroom Remodeling in Cooper City means a room that dries out without a fight, even in a Florida summer.
Roofing
The original roofs on most Cooper City homes predate the 1994 code overhaul that followed Hurricane Andrew. That means missing hurricane straps, flat or low-slope decks trapping water, and assembly that would never pass a wind-load review today.
Roofing in Cooper City covers full tear-offs, re-roofs to current standards, and the roof-to-wall strapping that pre-Andrew homes are so often missing.
Windows & Doors
Original single-pane aluminum windows aren’t just an inconvenience, they’re a security risk during storm season, which is why Windows & Doors in Cooper City are a priority for us. Impact-rated windows from PGT, Simonton, and CGI are the most common upgrade we install in Cooper City, and they cut AC bills while they’re at it.
Learn more about our windows and doors service in Cooper City when you call for an estimate. We’ll walk you through the impact-rating labels and what each brand actually costs installed, not just per window.
Fence Installation
Cooper City lots are generous, but the drainage canal network along the perimeter of neighborhoods changes where and how we can set posts. We work around the easements and the high water table, so your fence stays straight through wet season.
Learn more about our fence installation in Cooper City, including the permit path for canal-adjacent lots.
Driveway & Pavers
The organic muck and peat under Cooper City’s fill means concrete slabs settle. Driveways crack. Pavers, when we set them on a properly compacted base, move with the soil instead of fighting it. Belgard and Techo-Bloc are the brands we carry, and you can look up their specs before we pour anything.
Learn more about our driveway and pavers work in Cooper City, where base prep matters more than it does almost anywhere else in Broward.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Cooper City means digging into soil that can be saturated within 18 inches of grade. We know what the water table does to footings here, and we engineer for it before the first shovel goes in.
Learn more about our home additions and ADU work in Cooper City, including how we handle the drainage canal setbacks that some lots carry.

Why Cooper City’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Cooper City is a master-planned community developed almost entirely between the late 1960s and early 1990s on drained Everglades wetland in western Broward County. That history shows up on every job. The housing stock is hitting a simultaneous renovation and reconstruction wave, because most of it was built before Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 destruction prompted Florida’s 1994 code overhaul. Homes from the 1970s and 80s are primary targets for hurricane-mitigation retrofits: roof-to-wall straps, impact windows, re-roofing to current standards. These retrofits are far less common in newer Broward cities, but in Cooper City they’re the norm.
The water table here is among the highest in Broward County. We routinely hit standing water or saturated soil within 12 to 18 inches of grade, which complicates any ground-up build, addition, or deep footing work. The C-11 (South New River) canal network runs along Cooper City’s perimeter, and homes built closest to those canals in the 70s and 80s frequently show differential slab settlement from soil consolidation. A contractor who has worked here recognizes that pattern before the first permit is pulled. One who hasn’t, learns about it the hard way, usually after the concrete pour.

FAQs About Construction in Cooper City
A full roof replacement in Cooper City typically runs $14,000 to $30,000, depending on whether your home needs hurricane-strap retrofitting and what condition the deck is in. Pre-1994 homes often climb higher because the framing needs upgrades that newer homes already have. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote for your roof. Estimates are free.

Yes. Most of what we do on Cooper City homes built before 1994 involves bringing the roof and windows up to current wind-load standards.

What Cooper City Customers Say
"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool"His sons run the crews and they were in our house for four months. Not once did I feel I had to be home to keep an eye on things."
- Camila Fuentes"Beautiful work and honest pricing throughout. The project ran about three weeks past the estimate waiting on the cabinets, which was the supplier rather than him, though the delay was still real."
