AfterConstruction Services in Kendall West, FL
If you own a home in Kendall West, you’re likely dealing with a house built between 1985 and 2000, sitting on slab-on-grade concrete over oolitic limestone, with a water table that never really goes away. That combination creates construction challenges most national contractors don’t understand until they’re halfway through the job. Barrett & Sons Construction works in Kendall West regularly, and Tom Barrett answers his own phone at (877) 610-1318. We pull permits on every eligible job, put every price change in writing before work begins, and back the finished job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Why Kendall West Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call, you talk to someone who knows Kendall West, not a call center reading from a script. Homeowners in Bent Tree and Country Walk North have hired us for kitchen remodels, roof replacements, and additions, and they’ll tell you the same thing: the price on the contract matched the final invoice. That matters after you’ve been burned once.
Our reputation in Kendall West rests on a few things that never change. We issue written change orders before any scope adjustment touches the job, so an allowance that isn’t on paper never becomes a surprise. Background-checked, uniformed crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name on every visit. And we publish Tom’s name, address, and license number openly, because the last contractor most people used told them permits were optional. They aren’t, and in Miami-Dade they’re the difference between a signed-off job and a problem at resale.
We serve all of Kendall West, including the 33193 ZIP code, from SW 88th Street down to the neighborhoods near Kendall Drive and SW 137th Avenue. A live person answers the phone around the clock, and Tom lives close enough that he wants to hear about it if something isn’t right.

Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors - Kendall West projects start with this fact: impact-rated openings aren’t a luxury; they’re the standard. We install Andersen and Marvin windows and doors that carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, with installation crews who understand the waterproofing demands of CBS construction.
Call (877) 610-1318 to discuss windows and doors for your Kendall West home.
Fence Installation
Fences in Kendall West have to survive limestone soil, standing water after heavy rain, and Miami-Dade wind loads. We set posts deep, use corrosion-resistant hardware, and build fences that stay straight through hurricane season.
Call (877) 610-1318 for a free fence estimate in Kendall West.
Driveway & Pavers
Flat terrain and a high water table mean driveway grading errors in Kendall West turn into standing water fast. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc paver systems on properly compacted, properly sloped bases so water moves away from your slab, not toward it.
Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a paver estimate in Kendall West.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Kendall West triggers a hard look at your existing structure, especially if your home predates the 1992 code overhaul. We handle the engineering, the permits, the inspections, and the construction, and we tell you upfront what the county will require.

Why Kendall West’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Kendall West sits at the western edge of Miami-Dade’s built environment, hard against the Everglades buffer. The shallow oolitic limestone bedrock and persistently high water table turn every project, from a simple fence to a full home addition, into a drainage and foundation exercise you don’t face a few miles east. Basements are physically impossible here. Slabs sit close to grade, and even modest grading mistakes on flat limestone terrain create standing water that accelerates slab cracking, stucco failure, and settlement.
Most Kendall West homes were built in the late 1980s through mid-1990s, straddling the pre- and post-Hurricane Andrew Florida Building Code line. Permitted remodels and additions routinely trigger mandatory wind-load and tie-down upgrades on the older side of that line, and that’s a cost an honest contractor tells you about before you sign. We do. It’s also why we like the permit inspector: the inspector works for you, not for me. His sign-off is your protection.

FAQs About Construction in Kendall West
Most kitchen remodels in Kendall West run between $35,000 and $75,000 as of 2026, depending on whether you’re moving walls, upgrading electrical, and what materials you pick. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free line-item estimate.
Yes. Miami-Dade requires permits and inspections for additions, structural changes, and most substantial remodels, and Kendall West homes built before 1992 often require wind-load and tie-down upgrades as part of the scope. We pull permits and see inspections through on every eligible job.
Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance system is the strictest product-approval process in the country. Inspectors in the western corridor routinely reject materials with a Florida statewide approval that lack specific Miami-Dade NOA certificates. Out-of-county contractors get caught by this constantly. We don’t.
Not without your written sign-off. Every scope adjustment, every allowance, every change order arrives in writing before any work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want that in writing before you sign.
Kitchens run 6-10 weeks, bathrooms 3-6 weeks, roofs 1-2 weeks, and additions 4-9 months depending on the county permitting calendar and scope. We give you a written schedule with your estimate, and we tell you when the county, not our crew, is the bottleneck.

What Kendall West Customers Say
"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."
- Genevieve Ashcombe"Full kitchen down to the studs. He found the previous owner had done the wiring himself and it was genuinely dangerous, showed me, and put it right properly rather than boxing it back in."
- Augustus Nwachukwu
