If you own a home in Pompano Beach Highlands, you’ve probably discovered that older CBS construction comes with a particular set of challenges: original flat roofs nearing the end of their life, jalousie windows that rattle in every storm, and the dawning realization that your insurance company now wants wind mitigation paperwork before they’ll renew your policy. Barrett & Sons Construction is built around exactly these situations. We’re a local, owner-operated crew that has spent decades working on the kind of homes that fill this neighborhood. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and a live person picks up, not a voicemail tree.

Why Pompano Beach Highlands Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews on-site most days. When you hire us for work in Pompano Beach Highlands, the person who looked at your house and signed your scope is related to the person swinging the hammer. That matters in a community where word of mouth travels fast from the 33064 zip code over to the neighborhoods around Pompano Beach Highlands Park and down toward Dixie Highway.
Every job we take in Pompano Beach Highlands includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Not because it’s convenient, but because the last contractor most homeowners here used told them permits were optional. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we like him. We publish Tom’s name, our business address, and our license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street about us, or check the license yourself.
And here’s what nobody else puts on paper: every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every single price change arrives as a written change order before any work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end. If something isn’t done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means one phone call brings Tom back to make it right.
Construction Services We Offer in Pompano Beach Highlands
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Kitchen Remodeling in Pompano Beach Highlands projects involve 1960s-1980s homes built tight and dark, with cabinet boxes that have been absorbing South Florida humidity for forty years. We plan remodels that open up the space, upgrade electrical to today’s code, and install real, name-brand cabinetry like KraftMaid with Cambria or quartz countertops that can handle a wet sponge left overnight.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Pompano Beach Highlands.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in this area have a common failure point: slab-edge moisture wicking up behind original tile and turning a small crack into mold repair behind the drywall. When we handle Bathroom Remodeling in Pompano Beach Highlands, we address the water source first, then build out with materials that can stand up to the humidity.
Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Pompano Beach Highlands.
Roofing
Most original Pompano Beach Highlands Roofing jobs involve flat or low-slope built-up roofs from the 1970s and 80s, and many are just plain tired. A roof replacement here almost always triggers a roof-to-wall strap retrofit once the Pompano Beach Building Division opens the permit, and we price for that from the start. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems and every inspection gets signed.

Windows & Doors
Those original jalousie Windows & Doors - Pompano Beach Highlands products look nostalgic, but they leak air, water, and insurance discounts. Impact-resistant replacements from Andersen or Marvin bring these CBS homes up to Broward County wind-load code and make the place feel like it was built this decade. We also handle exterior doors, sliders, and the framing repairs they inevitably reveal.
Call (877) 610-1318 to discuss window replacement for your Pompano Beach Highlands home.
Fence Installation
Fences here contend with two things: afternoon downpours that dump standing water against posts, and a high water table that never truly dries out. We set fence posts to outlast both, with pressure-treated or vinyl systems appropriate for zero-grade lots. And yes, we pull the permit if the job calls for it.
Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a fence estimate in Pompano Beach Highlands.
Driveway & Pavers
Drainage is the quiet villain of most paver and driveway jobs in Pompano Beach Highlands. Flat lots don’t shed water; they hold it. We plan base layers and grading that keep pavers from sinking into the limestone and keep water moving away from your slab. We work with Belgard, Techo-Bloc, Cambridge Pavers, and Oldcastle product lines.
Call (877) 610-1318 for a free paver and driveway estimate in the 33064 zip code.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage to a CBS home in Pompano Beach Highlands means engineering load paths through concrete block, not wood framing, and accounting for a water table that sits close to the surface. We handle the structural work, the permits, and the inspections end to end, and we write the scope down before anything else happens.
Call (877) 610-1318 to discuss your home addition or ADU in Pompano Beach Highlands.

Why Pompano Beach Highlands’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Pompano Beach Highlands is an inland, largely 1960s-1980s CBS community where construction demand is driven overwhelmingly by bringing pre-Hurricane-Andrew homes up to current Broward County wind-load and life-safety code. This isn’t the coastal mansion market. This is the retrofit market: modest 1,000 to 1,500 square foot block homes that need roof-to-wall straps, impact windows, and panel upgrades just to keep insurance in force.
The neighborhood’s flat, low-lying terrain sits atop South Florida’s porous limestone in a high-water-table zone. Virtually every addition, slab repair, or drainage project here must account for subsurface moisture intrusion. Contractors who work mostly in drier inland counties routinely underestimate what that moisture does to a slab edge or a buried post. We see it on nearly every Pompano Beach Highlands job we demo: dark staining at the base of exterior block walls, mold behind baseboards, pavers that have sunken an inch or two. The afternoon thunderstorm cycle dumps water onto nearly zero-grade lots, and the ground beneath never really dries. That shapes everything we specify, from paver base thickness to how we flash a new addition. This is local knowledge, not a sales line.

FAQs About Construction in Pompano Beach Highlands
Yes. Pompano Beach Building Division requires permits for roofing, structural work, window replacements, electrical upgrades, and additions, and your insurer may require wind mitigation paperwork proving the work was inspected. We pull permits on every eligible job and schedule every inspection. It’s not optional if you want to keep your insurance and your resale value. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project requires.
Most roof replacements on Pompano Beach Highlands CBS homes run $12,000 to $22,000, but if your home predates 1994 and lacks hurricane straps, Broward County code will likely require a roof-to-wall connection retrofit that adds to that number. We price the strap retrofit in from the first estimate, so there’s no surprise mid-job. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact roof quote on your address.
The neighborhood sits in a high-water-table zone on flat, low-lying terrain over porous limestone, and afternoon thunderstorms dump water faster than the zero-grade lots can shed it. We solve this by grading away from slabs, installing drainage channels where the lot layout permits, and using paver bases and slab repairs that can live with the moisture instead of fighting it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look at your drainage before we recommend any concrete or paver work.
Only if the scope changes, and if it does, you’ll approve a written change order before any additional work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. What we uncover during demolition gets documented and priced in writing, then we pause and get your sign-off. That’s the allowance rule, and it’s on every contract. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through a sample scope before you commit to anything.
Most kitchen remodels here take four to seven weeks; most bathroom gut-and-replace jobs take two to four weeks. CBS homes move slower on demo and electrical because we’re working through block walls and old wiring that no longer meets code. We’ll give you a schedule at contract signing, and we’ll stick to it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific project.

What Pompano Beach Highlands 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."
