AfterConstruction Services in Lauderdale Lakes, FL
If you own a home in Lauderdale Lakes, you already know what we see on nearly every job site: original jalousie windows, flat roofs holding decades of patch work, and stucco hiding more than it should. Construction here rarely means building new. It means making the home you have work again, and doing it in a way that passes Broward County inspection. Barrett & Sons Construction crews work throughout Lauderdale Lakes and know these houses well. When you call (877) 610-1318, you’ll speak with a live person, not a voicemail box.

Why Lauderdale Lakes Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. That matters in a city like Lauderdale Lakes, where many homeowners have dealt with a national outfit that quoted one number and presented another at the door. We put every scope, allowance, and price change in writing before work starts, so the bill you sign is the bill you pay. Homeowners in neighborhoods near Northwest 31st Avenue and along Oakland Park Boulevard have hired us because Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. They know who’s accountable.
The work carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back. One call. And because Lauderdale Lakes is a built-out 1960s and 1970s community, we’ve spent years navigating the code-compliance retrofits these aging CBS homes require. The permit inspector works for the homeowner, not for us, which is why we make sure every eligible job gets its permits pulled and inspections signed.

Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs dominate Lauderdale Lakes. After years of layered repairs and summer downpours, many need full tear-off and new flashing, not another patch. With our Roofing in Lauderdale Lakes, we install GAF and CertainTeed systems and address the roof-to-wall connections that Broward County wind-mitigation inspections often flag.

Windows & Doors
Jalousie windows are charming until you hold one up to current code. We replace them with Andersen and Marvin impact-rated products, and we know what’s waiting behind the stucco when the old frames come out.
Learn more about Windows & Doors - Lauderdale Lakes by calling (877) 610-1318.
Fence Installation
Backyard privacy fences in Lauderdale Lakes weather intense sun and summer storms. We set pressure-treated posts properly for the high water table, so a new fence stays straight instead of heaving after the first wet season.
Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through fence options for your Lauderdale Lakes property.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete drives cracked by shifting, saturated ground are common across Lauderdale Lakes. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc paver systems with the base preparation that handles our flat, wet terrain without settling.
Call (877) 610-1318 for a paver estimate in Lauderdale Lakes.
Home Additions & ADU
Building upward or outward in Lauderdale Lakes means footers and slab work near a water table that sits just a few feet down. We manage the dewatering, the permitting, and the inspections so your addition gets built right.
Call (877) 610-1318 to discuss your Lauderdale Lakes addition or ADU project.

Why Lauderdale Lakes’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Lauderdale Lakes sits on flat, low-elevation ground where the water table can be just two to three feet below grade. Any footer, excavation, or below-slab plumbing job here deals with groundwater intrusion, which means continuous pumping and careful sequencing. That changes how we approach additions, driveways, and even fence post holes.
The city’s housing stock, mostly single-story CBS homes and low-rise rental apartments built between 1960 and 1982, predates post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load requirements. Roof-to-wall connections, impact-rated windows and doors, and electrical panel upgrades are among the most common code-compliance retrofits we perform in Lauderdale Lakes. The intense summer storms and high humidity accelerate moisture problems in stucco and roof flashing, so small leaks become big ones faster here than elsewhere.
And then there are the jalousie windows, still sitting in original 1970s frames all over this city. Broward County permit inspections flag them early. When we remove one, we almost always find rotted pressure-treated window bucks hidden behind decades of stucco patch work. That is a familiar story in Lauderdale Lakes, and it’s why a window swap here is rarely just a window swap.

FAQs About Construction in Lauderdale Lakes
Yes. Most structural, roofing, window replacement, and electrical or plumbing work in Lauderdale Lakes requires a Broward County permit and inspection. We pull permits on every eligible job and make the inspection pass before we call the job done. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re unsure whether your project needs one.
Jalousie windows don’t meet current Broward County wind-mitigation or impact-resistance standards. When we remove them, we often find rotted pressure-treated window bucks behind the stucco, which turns a window swap into a framing and re-stucco repair. We’ll show you what’s behind the wall before we quote it.
Most kitchen remodels in Lauderdale Lakes run between $30,000 and $75,000, depending on whether you’re replacing the cabinet layout, relocating plumbing, or upgrading the electrical panel. The exact number depends on what’s behind your 1970s walls. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written line-item estimate on your specific home.
No, not without a signed change order. If we find something unexpected behind a wall, we stop, document it, and bring you a written change order before any additional work happens. No surprises at the end, because the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
We do. Roofing, window retrofits, and exterior repairs on two- and three-story low-rise apartment complexes are a big part of what keeps our crews busy in Lauderdale Lakes. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask for Tom to discuss your building’s scope.

What Lauderdale Lakes 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."
