AfterConstruction Services in Tamarac, FL
If you own a home in Tamarac, there’s a good chance it was built between 1965 and 1982, which means Tamarac Roofing, the windows, the kitchen, and the slab underneath are all aging on the same timeline. That compressed construction era is Tamarac’s defining reality, and it shapes nearly every remodeling or repair job we walk into here. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and crews working in Tamarac coordinate out of our South FL office in Miami, so we know the local permitting path, the HOA layer, and the wet-season water table that makes this city different from anywhere else on the map. For a free estimate on any job, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will answer.

Why Tamarac Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a slogan. When we work in the Woodlands or the condo-villa clusters off Pine Island Road, the person who bid your job is the person on-site most days, and his name is on the truck. Homeowners in the 33321 area tend to be done with national outfits that quote one number from a call center and show up with another. Our pricing works differently: every allowance, every scope change, every surprise discovered behind a wall arrives as a written change order before work moves forward. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. We back the finished work with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, and if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. We serve the Mainlands, the Lakes of Carriage Hills, and the neighborhoods around Tamarac Square with the same rule: no mystery brands, no surprise invoices, and a live person answering the phone 24/7.
Construction Services We Offer in Tamarac
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Kitchen Remodeling in Tamarac involves kitchens framed in the Carter administration, which means original cabinetry built for a different era of cooking and living. We quote KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops so you can look up exactly what’s getting installed, then we put every cabinet allowance on paper before demolition starts.

Bathroom Remodeling
Older Tamarac villas often hide moisture damage behind original tile and fiberglass surrounds, which is why Bathroom Remodeling in Tamarac must account for how that damage compounds fast in the local humidity. We open walls carefully, show you what’s behind them, and present a written plan before anything gets rebuilt.

Roofing
Tamarac’s original homes predate Broward County’s post-Andrew wind codes, so many roofs lack the straps and clips current code requires. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with the uplift detailing the building department now expects, and we pull the permit every time.

Windows & Doors
Original single-pane jalousie and aluminum Windows & Doors - Tamarac options perform poorly in a climate that runs hot and wet eight months a year. We replace them with Andersen or Marvin units rated for coastal humidity, and we handle the HOA approval paperwork that attached villas require.
Windows and doors are part of our full construction scope in Tamarac, so we quote them with the same written change order discipline as a whole-home remodel.
Fence Installation
In Tamarac’s planned-unit developments, fence lines often share ownership with an adjacent villa, and HOA boards want to see specifications before approval. We build with materials that stand up to standing water and salt air, and we coordinate the neighbor notification when the property line demands it.
Fence installation in Tamarac works on the same rule: scope in writing, permits where required, no surprises.
Driveway & Pavers
Driveways in Tamarac sit on former Everglades flatland, where the water table can rise within inches of the surface during the June-October wet season. Proper base preparation and drainage planning make the difference between a paver job that lasts and one that sinks in five years. We work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc product lines, chosen for this climate.
Driveway and paver work in Tamarac starts with a free estimate and a clear written scope.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Tamarac means engineering for a high water table, HOA design review, and Broward County wind load requirements, all layered on top of each other. We design the addition to pass inspection the first time, because the permit inspector works for you, and a failed inspection costs you time and money.
Home additions in Tamarac require an engineer’s eye and a contractor who doesn’t skip the paperwork. That’s us.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Tamarac
Our crews work across Tamarac regularly, and we know the difference between a detached home in the Woodlands and a shared-wall villa in the Mainlands, because that difference changes how we bid the job. Typical response time for an estimate in the 33321 area is same day or next morning, depending on when you call.

Why Tamarac’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Tamarac was drained Everglades wetland before it was a city, and the water table has not forgotten. During the wet season, groundwater can sit a few inches under your slab, which means any excavation, footer, or slab repair must include a dewatering plan that contractors in higher, drier cities never have to think about. The same humidity that makes August feel unbearable also accelerates corrosion on embedded anchor bolts and rebar inside older CBS block homes. Then there’s the housing stock itself: nearly all of Tamarac’s single-story homes and attached villas were built between 1965 and 1982, marketed originally as affordable retirement residences. That means economical construction decisions, minimal attic space, flat or low-slope roofs, and no hurricane straps, because the post-Andrew wind code overhaul did not exist yet. When we bid a re-roof or a window replacement in Tamarac, we are engineering to current Florida Building Code wind-uplift requirements against a structure that was never designed for them. That is not true in Coral Springs or Plantation, where build timelines vary widely. In Tamarac, the entire city is aging on the same schedule, and that is the first thing any honest contractor should tell you.

Here are honest, working-range numbers for Tamarac’s housing stock, not a national average pulled from a database:
- Full kitchen remodel: $28,000-$55,000 depending on cabinet and countertop lines
- Bathroom remodel: $12,000-$25,000 for a typical villa or single-story bath

- Paver driveway: $8,000-$18,000 with proper base and drainage

FAQs About Construction in Tamarac
Most full kitchen remodels in Tamarac run between $28,000 and $55,000, depending on cabinet and countertop lines, whether the layout moves plumbing, and what the demo reveals behind the walls. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Yes, in most of Tamarac’s planned-unit developments, exterior modifications such as windows, roofs, fences, and additions require HOA board approval layered on top of Broward County permitting. We budget for that approval time because ignoring it will stop your job cold.
We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and while that means inspections get scheduled, it also means the work gets checked by someone who answers to the code, not to the contractor.
Most bathroom remodels in Tamarac take two to four weeks, depending on whether there is hidden moisture or slab work involved, which we cannot see until we open the walls. We give you a written schedule before we start, and we call if anything changes.
Only if you approve it. If we open a wall in a 1970s Tamarac villa and find rotted framing or corroded anchors, you get a written change order showing exactly what changed and what it costs, and you sign before we proceed. The allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

What Tamarac Customers Say
"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."
- Genevieve Ashcombe"Full kitchen down to the studs. He found the previous owner had done the wiring himself and it was genuinely dangerous, showed me, and put it right properly rather than boxing it back in."
- Augustus Nwachukwu
