If you own a home in West Perrine, odds are good you’ve dealt with at least one project that didn’t go the way the contractor promised. We hear it often: the crew that disappeared mid-demolition, the roofing bid that changed after the tear-off, the “Florida-approved” window that failed Miami-Dade inspection. Barrett & Sons Construction handles Kitchen Remodeling in West Perrine, bathroom updates, roofing, windows, and full construction with one clear rule: the scope, the allowances, and any price change arrive as a written change order before work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a free estimate.

Why West Perrine Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. That’s not a marketing line. The name on the truck is the name on the contract, and Tom publishes his address and license number for anyone to look up before signing anything. Homeowners around West Perrine, East Perrine, and Palmetto Estates have told us the same thing after working with national outfits: the phone quote and the final bill didn’t match. We don’t work that way. Every job starts with a written scope, every allowance gets put on paper, and if something changes, you’ll see a change order in writing before a nail moves.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. We pull permits on every eligible job, and we like when the inspector shows up. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s the whole point of having one.
Construction Services We Offer in West Perrine
Kitchen Remodeling
A West Perrine kitchen remodel often starts with a surprise: water damage hidden behind old cabinetry or framing that shifted after a 1992-era rebuild. We carry KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria countertops, and every cabinet pull and counter slab gets written into the scope before the first demo swing. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in West Perrine.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in the older CBS homes around West Perrine routinely hide plumbing runs that were patched after Hurricane Andrew and never inspected. We open walls only after we’ve walked you through what we expect to find, and any additional work is a change order, not a surprise invoice. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in West Perrine.
Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on the 1950s-to-1970s homes here, and Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code means every roofing product must carry an NOA number the inspector can verify on-site. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems and we pull the permit on every roof we touch. Learn more about our Roofing in West Perrine.
Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors - West Perrine installations must be hurricane-rated. If a product lacks the Miami-Dade NOA, it fails inspection and gets torn out. We carry Andersen and Marvin windows and verify the NOA listing before anything gets ordered.
Fence Installation
Fences in West Perrine face two extremes: heavy summer rain and tropical-storm wind loads. We set posts below grade and spec materials that won’t lean after one wet season.
Driveway & Pavers
Because much of West Perrine sits above a shallow water table, paver bases and slabs need proper compaction and drainage so they don’t heave or sink. We work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers when the project calls for pavers, and Quikrete products for concrete work.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in West Perrine means HVHZ-compliant assembly from footing to roof deck, and that starts with a permit. We handle drawings, NOA product documentation, inspections, and every change order in writing.
Neighborhoods We Serve in West Perrine
We work throughout the 33157 zip code and the surrounding blocks. You’ll see our crews regularly in:
- The residential streets north of SW 168th Street
- Areas east of US-1 near the Southland Mall corridor
- Blocks off SW 104th Avenue
- The neighborhoods clustered around West Perrine Park
- Homes along SW 184th Street
Response time for a West Perrine estimate typically runs 24 to 48 hours from your call, depending on the size of the project.
Why West Perrine’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
West Perrine sits directly in the core destruction corridor of Hurricane Andrew in August 1992, and that single storm still shapes every construction decision here. The neighborhood is a split: surviving pre-1992 concrete block homes that were patchwork-rebuilt or retrofitted, alongside a large wave of 1993-2000 reconstruction built to the dramatically tightened South Florida Building Code. When we open walls in West Perrine, we routinely find structural inconsistencies from those post-Andrew repairs. A beam that looked fine on the outside turns out to be undersized. A roof-to-wall connection was done with the wrong fasteners. None of it is visible until the wall comes open, and that’s exactly why our scopes account for what we expect to find.
On top of that history, every new construction or significant renovation in West Perrine falls under Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That’s the strictest building standard in the United States. our Roofing in West Perrine, window, door, and cladding products all need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number on the permit application, and the inspector verifies it on-site. The elevation matters too. West Perrine is low and flat with a shallow water table, so any below-grade work, footings, slabs, underground utilities, hits groundwater quickly. Add the June-through-November hurricane season, and you need a contractor who plans schedules around weather that can turn a half-finished roof into a problem by Friday.

FAQs About Construction in West Perrine
Yes, and not just because it’s the law. West Perrine falls under Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ code, and any exterior work, roofing, windows, doors, or structural change requires a permit with NOA-listed products. The permit inspector works for you, not for the contractor, and a signed inspection is the only proof the work was done to code. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your project needs.
Miami-Dade requires every roofing, window, door, and cladding product to carry a specific Notice of Acceptance number listed on the permit application. Products approved elsewhere in Florida often lack the Miami-Dade NOA, and when that happens, the inspector fails the job and the product must be removed and replaced. During the 1990s rebuild boom, plenty of out-of-county contractors learned this the hard way. We verify NOA listings before anything gets ordered.
A flat or low-slope roof replacement in West Perrine typically runs $9,500-$28,000, depending on the tear-off layers, the HVHZ assembly, and the roofing system specified. GAF and CertainTeed systems fall at different price points, and your quote will show exactly which is which. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written number, not a ballpark.
Only if the scope changes, and only after you sign a written change order approving the new price. If we open a wall in a post-Andrew West Perrine home and find something unexpected, you’ll hear about it before any work proceeds. Nothing gets added without your signature. That’s the rule we’ve run on since 1998.
Most Bathroom Remodeling in West Perrine and kitchen projects run 4 to 8 weeks once the permit is issued and materials arrive. Hurricane season can add a few days here and there if the weather threatens an open envelope. Your written scope includes a schedule, and we tell you up front what depends on the permit office and what depends on the weather. Call (877) 610-1318 for a timeline on your specific project.

What West Perrine Customers Say
"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"He pulled every permit and had every inspection signed off. The last contractor we used told us permits were optional and I have been paying for that ever since."
- Redmond Cavanaugh
