AfterConstruction Services in Wilton Manors, FL
If you own a home in Wilton Manors, chances are it was built between the 1950s and 1970s, and it’s either due for a serious renovation or you’ve already started planning one. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve built our name on something simple: Tom Barrett puts his name, his address, and his license number on every contract, and his sons run the crews. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. We know the canal-front lots, the jalousie windows, and the terrazzo floors that make this city what it is.

Why Wilton Manors Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Wilton Manors isn’t like the sprawling suburbs west of I-95. The “Island City” is encircled by the Middle River and its canal network, and that changes how construction gets done here. Remodeling a 1958 CBS ranch on a canal lot near Northeast 21st Court is a different job from remodeling the same footprint in Sunrise or North Andrews Gardens. Water table, seawall condition, salt air exposure, and Broward County wind codes all come into play. Our crews have worked on bungalows along Northeast 6th Avenue and ranch-style homes near Colohatchee Park, and we’ve learned where the surprises hide: original 1950s seawalls that were never replaced, rebar corroding inside concrete block mortar joints, and low-slope roofs with built-up membranes that failed the last real storm. Homeowners in Wilton Manors keep our number because we show up when we say we will, and any price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we like having him involved on every eligible job.
Construction Services We Offer in Wilton Manors
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Wilton Manors kitchens in the 1950s and 1960s housing stock are small, closed-off rooms that don’t match how people live now. We open them up, and we install brands like KraftMaid and Cambria that you can look up yourself, not mystery materials off a van.

Bathroom Remodeling
Original Wilton Manors bathrooms often hide cast-iron drain lines and tile set on mud beds that have cracked over time. We replace what’s failing and build bathrooms that handle humidity and age well.

Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on the ranch homes and bungalows throughout 33305, and Broward County’s post-Andrew code doesn’t leave room for shortcuts. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with roof-to-wall connections that pass inspection.

Windows & Doors
If your home still has original jalousie windows, you’re losing conditioned air and your home won’t meet current wind and energy codes. We install impact-rated openings from Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT that hold up in a storm and won’t rust out from canal air.
Fence Installation
Canal-front properties and busy streets like Wilton Drive call for fencing that stands up to humidity and salt breeze. We build fences that stay straight and solid long after the first rainy season.
Driveway & Pavers
Paver driveways and walkways on Wilton Manors lots need proper base preparation because the water table sits close to grade on canal-adjacent parcels. We lay Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on a compacted foundation that won’t sink or shift.
Home Additions & ADU
Many homeowners in Wilton Manors are adding square footage or building ADUs on lots that have no room to spare. We handle the permits, the setbacks, and the structural work that canal-front properties demand.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Wilton Manors
We work throughout the 33305 zip code, from the streets surrounding Wilton Drive to the quieter cul-de-sacs off Northeast 26th Street. Most of our Wilton Manors jobs are within a short drive of our Miami-based scheduling office, so we’re familiar with the area and can get to your property without a long haul.

Why Wilton Manors’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Wilton Manors has one of the highest concentrations of canal-front residential lots of any small city in Broward County, and that geography shapes every remodeling decision. The Middle River and its canals push the water table to just a few feet below grade on many parcels, which means slab and stem-wall work has to be engineered for hydrostatic pressure that a home in Oakland Park wouldn’t face. Chloride from salt air accelerates rebar corrosion inside concrete block and attacks structural fasteners faster than it does just a mile inland. We spec epoxy-coated or stainless fasteners and concrete sealants on nearly every project here. On rear-yard additions and pool permits for canal-front lots, we routinely find original 1950s and 60s concrete seawalls that are failing. Broward County inspectors will flag a deteriorating seawall during the permit pull, and that can force a full rebuild before any new structure in the rear setback gets approved. If you’re planning an addition, budget for that possibility before you fall in love with a floor plan.
