AfterConstruction Services in Naranja, FL
If you’re searching for a construction company in Naranja, you’ve probably already learned the hard way that this town runs on different rules than the rest of Florida. The homes here are almost all concrete block and stucco, and nearly everything structural has to clear Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards before an inspector will even look at it. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owned and operated by Tom Barrett, and we work in Naranja every week. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person on the line, not a call center. And yes, we know exactly where 33039 is.

Why Naranja Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Most of our Naranja customers call us after another contractor already made a mess of things. They picked someone cheap, or someone from up north who didn’t understand Miami-Dade codes, and now the permit’s red-tagged or the roof sheathing failed inspection. We’ve been cleaning up those situations since 1998. Tom Barrett started this company because he got tired of watching national outfits quote one number and bill another. He put his name on the truck, his license number on every contract, and his sons on the crews. That hasn’t changed in 29 years.
You’ll see us working around neighborhoods like the older streets near the Naranja Lakes area and the newer infill lots off SW 264th Street. When a homeowner near the Redland edge of town calls about a fence or a driveway, Tom or one of his sons usually shows up the same week to walk the property. We answer our own phone, we pull permits on every eligible job, and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Ask anyone on your street. Or look up the license number yourself.
Construction Services We Offer in Naranja
Kitchen Remodeling in Naranja
Kitchens in Naranja’s older CBS homes tend to be small, boxy, and starved for light. We open them up with structural work that holds up to HVHZ wind-load requirements, then finish with cabinets you can actually look up, like KraftMaid, and stone tops from Cambria.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Naranja.
Bathroom Remodeling in Naranja
Bathrooms here often hide water damage behind old tile, especially in homes built before Andrew and patched up in a hurry afterward. We strip to the studs, fix what’s rotten, and rebuild with materials that pass Miami-Dade review.

Roofing in Naranja
A roof in Naranja isn’t just shingles over plywood. It’s a structural assembly that has to hold together in 150-mph winds and pass a Miami-Dade inspector’s checklist. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with the right NOA numbers and peel-and-stick underlayment done the way the code requires.

Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors aren’t a luxury in Naranja; they’re a code requirement for anything new or replaced. We spec Andersen and Marvin products with current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance numbers, so your inspection doesn’t stall because someone ordered the wrong glass package.
Fence Installation
Fence posts in Naranja don’t just go in the ground. They go through oolitic limestone, which means rock bars, augers with serious torque, and sometimes a rock saw. We factor that into the quote up front, so you’re not hit with a surprise change order when the digging gets hard.
Driveway & Pavers
Driveways here sit on shallow limestone and a seasonal water table that rises in the summer months. We prep the base with compaction that accounts for both, then lay pavers from names like Belgard and Techo-Bloc that carry the right product approvals for South Dade.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Naranja means new footings, HVHZ-rated structural connections, and flood-zone paperwork depending on your lot. We handle the whole thing, from first drawing to final inspection, with every permit and every change order in writing.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Naranja
We work throughout 33039, from homes tucked off SW 268th Street near the busway to the quieter residential blocks west of US-1 and the infill lots along SW 144th Avenue. Typical response time for a Naranja property visit is within the week.

Why Naranja’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Naranja sits in the South Dade corridor that took the direct brunt of Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 landfall. That storm flattened a large share of the housing stock, and what got rebuilt afterward had to meet the strictest wind-load standards in the country: Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Practically speaking, that means every structural assembly and every product we install in Naranja has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a separate and more rigorous approval than what Florida requires statewide. Contractors who mostly pull permits in Broward or points farther north regularly get red-tagged here because they ordered a window or roof product that clears the state list but not the Miami-Dade one. We don’t make that mistake. We spec the right NOA numbers before the order goes in, and we know the local inspectors by name.
Then there’s the ground itself. Naranja sits on Miami oolitic limestone that lies inches to a few feet below the surface, which means any excavation for footings, fence posts, or drainage doesn’t involve digging. It involves jackhammering or a rock saw. The water table also rises high from June through October, complicating slab prep and fill compaction on new additions. These aren’t quirks we discovered on your job. We’ve been dealing with them for years, and we price them honestly from the start.
Pricing for Construction in Naranja
Honest numbers, because that’s what you called about. A bathroom remodel in Naranja typically lands between $18,000 and $38,000 depending on size and what’s behind the old tile. Kitchens run $35,000 to $75,000, more if you’re moving walls. A new roof on a CBS rancher commonly falls in the $12,000 to $25,000 range, with impact-rated materials driving the upper end. Driveways and paver work start around $8,000 and climb with the amount of rock cutting involved. We give written, line-item quotes before work starts, and every change arrives as a written change order. No surprise invoices. No “the allowance didn’t cover it” at the end.

FAQs About Construction in Naranja
In Naranja, the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is the hard stop. A product with only a Florida statewide approval can still get red-tagged by a Miami-Dade inspector, even mid-project. We spec NOA-approved materials from the start so you don’t lose weeks and thousands of dollars on the wrong product tier. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your job actually needs.
A modest addition or ADU in Naranja generally runs $150,000 to $300,000, with the limestone excavation, flood-zone paperwork, and HVHZ structural connections all adding to the total. We provide a written line-item estimate before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly where the money goes. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your specific lot.
Not without a written change order. That’s how Barrett & Sons operates. If something changes, you’ll see it in writing, with a number on it, before we proceed. No allowances that aren’t on paper. No surprises at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom will explain it over the phone.
Yes, on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. If a contractor tells you permits are optional in Naranja, walk away. Miami-Dade enforces every structural, roofing, and window scope aggressively, and unpermitted work will come back on you when you sell. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you honestly what requires a permit before you sign anything.
Most kitchen remodels in Naranja run eight to twelve weeks from demo to final inspection. The extra time compared to other parts of the state comes from the inspection schedule and the detail required for HVHZ structural work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in the written quote, not an optimistic one. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

What Naranja 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."
