AfterConstruction Services in Lake Park, FL
Lake Park sits in a spot most Florida towns don’t: pressed right up against the Lake Worth Lagoon, where salt air and flood zones shape every building decision. If you own a home here, you’ve likely noticed the mid-century CBS construction on your street, the flat roofs, the windows that rattle in a summer storm. Barrett & Sons Construction works throughout Lake Park regularly, and we know what these homes need because we’ve opened enough of them up. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail box.

Why Lake Park Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and it’s still owner-operated. His sons run the crews. That means the name on the truck matches the people standing in your kitchen. Homeowners near Kelsey Park and along Old Dixie Highway have told us the same thing more than once: they’d rather pay for a contractor who puts pricing on paper and shows up on time than gamble on a national outfit that swaps crews mid-job.
Every job we take in Lake Park includes permits pulled and inspections signed. We don’t treat permits as optional, and we don’t hand you a surprise invoice at the end. Any change to your scope arrives as a written change order first. We’ve also been serving the broader Palm Beach County area for over 29 years, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. That matters when a summer storm tears a section of our Roofing in Lake Park off a home near the Intracoastal at 9 p.m.
Construction Services We Offer in Lake Park
Kitchen Remodeling
Mid-century Lake Park kitchens were built for a different era: smaller footprints, fewer circuits, and cabinets that have seen decades of humidity. We plan Kitchen Remodeling in Lake Park around your home’s CBS structure, and we install brands like KraftMaid and Cambria that you can look up yourself.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Lake Park.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Lake Park bathrooms often hide water damage behind original tile and failing pans. We waterproof with Schluter systems and install Sterling and Grohe fixtures that hold up to the humidity and salt air. Every job gets a written scope before we start.

Roofing
Flat and low-pitched roofs on 1950s and 60s CBS homes don’t meet current wind-load codes, and that becomes a real problem during a permitted renovation. We install GAF roofing systems engineered for Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone, and we pull the permit every time.

Windows & Doors
If your Lake Park home still has jalousie or single-pane windows, you’re losing cooling dollars all summer and rattling through every storm. We install Andersen and Marvin impact-rated Windows & Doors in Lake Park, and we handle the paperwork your insurance company will want to see.
Fence Installation
Salt air off the Intracoastal chews through cheap hardware fast. We use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized connectors and materials that hold up within a mile of the water, and we pull the fence permit Lake Park requires.
Driveway & Pavers
Low-lying lots and heavy summer rain mean drainage has to be designed into the hardscape, not added later. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with proper base prep and grading so your driveway doesn’t become a lake in August.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Lake Park means engineering for 170 mph design wind speeds and building above flood elevation. We’ve navigated these requirements for local homeowners, and we’ll walk you through what the FEMA substantial-improvement rule means for your address before you spend a dollar on design.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lake Park
We work throughout Lake Park, from the streets around Kelsey Park down to the neighborhoods along the Intracoastal. Our crews are familiar with the older CBS homes throughout the 33403 ZIP code, and we typically get a crew to a Lake Park job site in under a week for emergency work.

Why Lake Park’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Lake Park sits at sea level in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and most of its housing stock is mid-century concrete block and stucco built between 1950 and 1975. Those homes have flat or low-pitched roofs, original single-pane windows, and slabs poured at or near grade. None of it meets today’s Florida Building Code or Palm Beach County’s impact-glazing requirements.
What this means in practice is that a permitted addition or a major renovation almost always surfaces pre-code conditions that have to be fixed before you get a certificate of occupancy. Salt-laden air off the Intracoastal accelerates corrosion on anchor bolts and metal connectors, so we use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware as standard, not an upgrade. And seasonal king tides plus heavy summer rain flood low-lying lots, so concrete pours and excavation timelines get planned around the water table, not the calendar.
Lake Park’s Flood Zones and the 50% Rule
Here’s the local angle that separates Lake Park from inland towns a few miles west. A large share of the housing stock sits inside FEMA AE flood zones because of the town’s position directly along the Lake Worth Lagoon and Intracoastal. That triggers the NFIP “substantial improvement” rule, which says if your renovation costs reach 50% of your home’s market value, the whole structure must be brought into full flood-zone compliance, including elevation above Base Flood Elevation.
A routine kitchen gut-renovation on a 1960s slab-on-grade CBS home near the water can cross that 50% line without warning. What starts as a $60,000 remodel becomes a $200,000-plus elevation project. We’ve walked multiple Lake Park homeowners through this exact scenario. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we pull the permits and have the flood-zone conversation before you sign anything, not after drywall is up.

FAQs About Construction in Lake Park
Most kitchen remodels in Lake Park run between $28,000 and $65,000, but homes in FEMA AE flood zones near the Intracoastal can push higher if the job crosses the 50% substantial-improvement threshold and triggers elevation requirements. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your specific address.

What Lake Park Customers Say
"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
- Gideon Stroud"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."
