If you own a home in Pine Island Ridge, you’ve probably already discovered the two things no builder outside this neighborhood quite understands: the water table sits close enough to the surface to matter on nearly every job, and the concrete block home you’ve lived in for twenty years doesn’t look the way your insurance company now wants it to look. We work in Pine Island Ridge regularly, so neither of those things surprises us. When you call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318, you’ll reach a live person who knows the 33328 zip code, knows the permitting triggers in Broward County, and can tell you honestly whether your project is a two-week job or a six-month process. No phone tree, no out-of-state call center, no guessing.

Why Pine Island Ridge Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still puts his name, his address, and his license number on every estimate we write. You can look it up before you sign anything, and plenty of Pine Island Ridge residents have. We’ve done work throughout the Ridge, from the streets off Pine Island Road near the golf course over to the western edges by Nob Hill Road, and from the 1970s ranch homes near Orange Drive up through the neighborhoods tucked close to Tree Tops Park. Those aren’t just street names to us. The crew members on your job are Tom’s sons and their teams, background-checked and wearing Barrett & Sons uniforms every visit. When the permit inspector shows up, one of us is there to meet him, because the inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.
Every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t hand you a different bill at the end. The job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s the deal in Pine Island Ridge and everywhere else we work. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Construction Services We Offer in Pine Island Ridge

Roofing
Most Pine Island Ridge homes need our Roofing in Pine Island Ridge expertise because their low-slope or flat roof sections predate Broward County’s post-Hurricane Andrew code. That means roof replacements here often turn into something bigger: strap retrofits, tie-beam corrections, and wind-mitigation upgrades your insurer is asking for anyway.

Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors in Pine Island Ridge need upgrading because those original single-pane aluminum windows put in during the Nixon administration do very little against a South Florida summer or a Category 3 storm. We install Andersen and Marvin impact-rated openings and pull the permits so the work actually satisfies the 1994 Florida Building Code wind-load standards your insurance company checks.
Fence Installation
Wood, vinyl, or aluminum, set on posts deep enough to handle saturated ground and afternoon thunderstorms that dump four inches in an hour. We’ll mark the property line, handle any HOA paperwork the neighborhood association requires, and build it to stay plumb.
Driveway & Pavers
Flat terrain and a high water table mean the base under your pavers matters more than the pavers themselves. We work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc, and we grade and compact so the next wet season doesn’t leave you with a wavy driveway.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Pine Island Ridge means dealing with groundwater during footing pours and Broward County’s progressive-compliance rules on the existing structure. We know both. Permits get pulled, inspections get signed, and the price you’re quoted is the price you’ll pay unless a written change order says otherwise.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Pine Island Ridge
We work all over the 33328 zip code. Here are a few of the Pine Island Ridge neighborhoods where you’ll see our trucks regularly:
- Pine Island Ridge Country Club area, off Pine Island Road
- Homes along Nob Hill Road near the western edge
- Streets off Orange Drive, including the original 1972-1975 ranch clusters

Typical response time for a Pine Island Ridge estimate is one to two business days, depending on how many estimates are already on the board that week.
Why Pine Island Ridge’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Pine Island Ridge is a 1970s planned community in western Broward County built on reclaimed Everglades flatlands. The water table sits just twelve to eighteen inches below grade across most of the neighborhood. That’s not a footnote. Any project that involves footing work, room additions, utility trenching, or even setting fence posts will hit groundwater almost immediately, and a contractor who doesn’t account for that on the front end will be pumping water and padding the bill on the back end. We plan for it before the first shovel goes in.
Then there’s the housing stock itself. Nearly every home in Pine Island Ridge is a single-story concrete block and stucco (CBS) structure from the early to mid 1970s, built before Hurricane Andrew forced the state to rewrite its building code. Those homes commonly need roof-to-wall strap retrofits, updated tie-beam connections, and impact window and door replacements to satisfy both current code and the insurance renewal requirements your carrier keeps sending you letters about. A permit for even a modest addition in Pine Island Ridge almost always triggers a county inspector’s review of the roof-to-wall connections on the entire structure. The county uses addition permits as a trigger point to bring the whole house closer to current wind-load compliance. That adds scope and cost that surprises homeowners unfamiliar with Broward’s progressive-compliance enforcement. It never surprises us, and we’ll tell you about it at the estimate, not after the walls are open.

FAQs About Construction in Pine Island Ridge
Yes, on every eligible job, no exceptions. In Pine Island Ridge specifically, pulling a permit for an addition or structural change often triggers a county review of your existing roof-to-wall connections, since the 1970s CBS homes here predate hurricane strapping requirements. We’ll tell you upfront what that means for your scope and your budget, and we’ll handle the inspections with the county. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your project.
Expect $45,000 to $95,000 for a full kitchen remodel in Pine Island Ridge.

What Pine Island Ridge 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."
- Camila Fuentes
