Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves, every permit comes from Miami-Dade County’s Building Department, and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves.

Why Pinewood Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Pinewood is an unincorporated pocket of Miami-Dade County, which means nobody at a city hall is looking over your shoulder. Instead, every permit, every inspection, and every product approval runs through the county’s Building Department and its High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules. We’ve pulled more Miami-Dade permits than we can count, and we know the HVHZ paperwork layer well enough that it doesn’t slow the job down. Homeowners near NW 22nd Avenue and along NW 103rd Street have told us the same thing: they’d rather pay a little more for a crew that answers the phone and shows up when promised than save a few dollars on a contractor they’ll never see again. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
We serve the whole 33167 ZIP code, including the streets off NW 12th Avenue and the blocks near Pinewood Park. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail box and not an out-of-state call center.
Construction Services We Offer in Pinewood
Kitchen Remodeling
Pinewood’s older CBS homes often have kitchens that were built for a different era, with layouts that don’t match how families cook now. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz, and we pull the county permit before the first cabinet comes out.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Pinewood.
Bathroom Remodeling
Whether it’s a dated jalousie window situation or a full gut renovation, we handle the plumbing adjustments and waterproofing that Miami-Dade inspectors look for. Written change orders protect you from surprise invoices at the end.

Roofing
Most Pinewood roofs are original flat or low-slope systems built decades before Hurricane Andrew changed the code book. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems, and every roof component carries a Miami-Dade NOA number on the permit application.
Learn more about our Roofing in Pinewood.
Windows & Doors
Impact-rated openings aren’t optional in Pinewood under HVHZ rules, and the NOA paperwork trips up a lot of contractors. We handle the window and door permits from start to signed inspection, using brands like PGT and Simonton you can look up yourself.
Learn more about our home services for window and door replacement in Pinewood.
Fence Installation
Good fences in Pinewood have to stand up to wind loads and shallow oolitic limestone footings. We set posts deep enough to hold, and we handle the county’s setback rules so you don’t get a correction notice.
Learn more about fencing and hardscape work through our Pinewood construction team.
Driveway & Pavers
Driveway pavers in Pinewood need a base that handles the high water table, not just a cosmetic layer of stone. We compact properly, grade for drainage, and install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers that won’t sink in the first wet season.
Learn more about paver and driveway work in Pinewood.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage to a 1950s CBS home almost always triggers structural reinforcement and impact-rated opening upgrades before the final inspection passes. We do the engineering, pull the county permit, and stand with you through every inspection.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Pinewood
We work throughout the 33167 ZIP code, and we know how the different blocks were built because we’ve been under the roofs and behind the walls on many of them. Typical response time for a Pinewood estimate is same week, and the calls always come from a person, not a dispatch system.

Why Pinewood’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Nearly every significant renovation in Pinewood runs into the same two realities. First, the post-WWII housing stock is almost entirely concrete block and stucco, built between the 1950s and 1970s, with original flat or low-slope roofs, jalousie windows, and undersized tie-beam systems that fall well short of today’s Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements. A simple bathroom remodel can turn into a structural conversation once the inspector sees what’s behind the drywall. Second, the shallow Miami Limestone bedrock sits just inches to a few feet below the surface across this area, which makes traditional excavation for footings, underground utilities, and drainage more complicated than inland Florida markets. Combined with a high water table and seasonal flooding, every below-grade detail in Pinewood needs extra engineering attention. This isn’t something a generic contractor from outside the county fully appreciates until the change orders start piling up. We plan for it from the first walkthrough.
Because Pinewood is unincorporated, every permit we pull here goes through Miami-Dade County’s notoriously detailed HVHZ product-approval system. Every roof component, window, and door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA number on the permit application. That’s a paperwork layer that surprises contractors who mostly work in municipal jurisdictions like Miami Gardens just to the north. For us, it’s just how Pinewood jobs get done.
Pricing for Construction in Pinewood
We don’t give blind quotes over the phone, because Pinewood’s HVHZ requirements and aging CBS housing stock make every job a little different.

FAQs About Construction in Pinewood
A roof replacement in Pinewood typically runs $14,000 to $30,000, depending on the system type, the home’s footprint, and the specific HVHZ product approvals required on the permit application. Flat and low-slope roofs common on older CBS homes often fall on the higher end because they need full deck inspection and upgraded tie-downs. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Pinewood is an unincorporated CDP, meaning there’s no municipal building department. Every permit, inspection, and product approval runs through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department under High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules. We handle that entire paperwork layer for you. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you whether your job triggers mandatory hurricane-mitigation upgrades before you commit.
Not unless you approve it in writing first. If the scope changes, you get a written change order before any new work begins. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 to see our contract language for yourself.
Yes, on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s the way we like it. If a contractor tells you permits are optional in Pinewood, walk away. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain exactly what your project needs under Miami-Dade code.
A typical Pinewood kitchen remodel runs six to ten weeks, depending on whether the county requires structural reinforcement or impact-rated opening upgrades once the old finishes come down.

What Pinewood Customers Say
"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"Every change to the price came as a written change order before the work happened, not as a surprise on the final bill. I did not know contractors still did that."
- Xiomara Benavides"Tom Barrett was on our job most days himself, not just at the quote and then never again. When something needed deciding there was an actual person to decide it with."
