AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Boca Del Mar
Boca Del Mar homeowners call us for window and door work because we know the difference between a county permit and a city permit here, and that difference costs you money if your contractor gets it wrong. Window replacement in Boca Del Mar typically runs $4,500-$15,000, and full impact window installation lands between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on opening count and existing framing conditions. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 and owner-operated by Tom Barrett. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the project with you before anybody writes a number down.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’ve been in and out of Boca Del Mar homes long enough to know that the 1970s and 1980s CBS construction here has a specific problem: the block walls are solid, but the original single-pane aluminum windows and sliding doors were never built for the wind loads Palm Beach County enforces today. That means a straightforward window swap in this community often becomes a code-compliance job, and we scope for that up front so you don’t find out about it mid-rough-in.
Tom Barrett puts his name, his address, and his license number on every contract. His sons run the crews. The person who answers the phone at (877) 610-1318 is a live person, 24/7, not a voicemail box. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. And every completed job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Boca Del Mar is unincorporated Palm Beach County. That one fact trips up out-of-area contractors on nearly every larger window or door job here. We’ll get into what that means below, because it affects your permit, your inspection schedule, and your final bill. The short version: we know which portal to file through, and we know which inspector shows up.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Boca Del Mar
We offer the full Windows & Doors scope across Boca Del Mar, with particular depth in impact-rated work and the structural upgrades that come with it. Here are the four services Boca Del Mar homeowners call us for most.
Impact Windows & Doors
Boca Del Mar sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and Palm Beach County code requires impact-rated openings on any permitted replacement that crosses the cost threshold. We install impact windows and doors that meet HVHZ wind-load requirements, including the correct anchor spacing and fastening schedules the county inspector checks. This is not a place to take shortcuts, and we don’t.
Window Replacement
Most of the original windows in Boca Del Mar’s 1970s and 1980s villas, condos, and single-family CBS homes are single-pane aluminum that leaks air conditioning and fails current wind-load standards. If you’re also considering Boca Del Mar Kitchen Remodeling, we can coordinate the window and door work with that timeline. We replace them with impact-rated units or, where code allows, non-impact windows that still outperform the originals by a wide margin. We quote the permit requirement in writing before you sign.
Door Installation
Entry doors in Boca Del Mar face the same wind-load rules as windows, especially on CBS homes where the original door frame was set into block with minimal anchoring. We install impact-rated entry doors, patio doors, and interior doors, and we upgrade the rough opening framing when the county inspector requires it. The permit gets filed through Palm Beach County, not a Boca Raton city portal.
Hurricane Impact Windows
For Boca Del Mar homeowners who want the strongest protection available, we install hurricane impact windows across the 33433 ZIP. These units carry specific design pressure ratings that satisfy HVHZ code requirements, and we match the anchor schedule to the opening size and the wall construction. You get a window that holds up in a storm and a paper trail that proves it to your insurance company and the county.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Single-pane aluminum windows from the 1970s and 1980s. The original glass in most Boca Del Mar CBS homes predates Hurricane Andrew code changes. They rattle in storms, leak conditioned air, and fail county wind-load requirements when you pull a permit for anything that touches them.
- Improper anchor spacing on impact window replacements. We’ve seen county inspectors fail installations where the window was set with the wrong fastener pattern for HVHZ loads. The window had to come out, the anchors got re-done, and the homeowner paid twice for the labor. We check this before the window ever goes in.
- Non-impact doors ordered to match the original style. A contractor orders a non-impact sliding glass door because it matches the old 1970s aluminum look, then the permit review says impact-rated openings are required. Material cost doubles mid-rough-in, and the homeowner eats it. We verify the permit requirements before we order anything.
- Contractors waiting on the wrong inspector. Because Boca Del Mar is unincorporated, Palm Beach County inspectors run the inspections. Out-of-area crews book a Boca Raton city inspection, wait a week, and then realize no one is coming. We file through the county portal on day one, so the schedule moves on the county’s clock, not a guess.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Boca Del Mar
Yes, in most cases. Because Boca Del Mar is unincorporated, Palm Beach County requires a permit for window or door replacement when the work crosses the cost threshold or when the existing opening is being modified structurally. The county also requires the replacement window to meet current wind-load standards for the HVHZ zone, which often means an impact-rated unit. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you whether your specific job triggers the requirement before you spend a dime.
In a 1970s or 1980s CBS home, the original sliding glass door was often set into the block with minimal tie-beam connection, and the header above the opening may not meet today’s load requirements. Once you pull a permit, the county inspector looks at those connections. If they’re below current code, you upgrade them before the new door goes in. We scope this during the estimate, not after the wall is open. If you want a second opinion on an existing written estimate, that’s one of our standing offers, free.
Palm Beach County runs its own inspection portal, fee schedule, and checklist, separate from the City of Boca Raton. A contractor who books a Boca Raton city inspection for a Boca Del Mar address waits a week and gets nothing. We file through the county system, schedule the inspection on the county’s calendar, and the inspector who shows up is the one authorized to sign off on the work. On one 1981 CBS ranch in the Mission Bay area near 33433, our crew replaced six single-pane aluminum sliders with impact-rated sliding glass doors and upgraded the load-bearing header. The county inspector’s sign-off on the hurricane fastening schedule came two days before the drywall went back, so we never had to re-open the wall.
Impact-rated windows are engineered to withstand wind-borne debris at HVHZ speeds, with laminated glass and a specific framing and anchor schedule. Non-impact windows do not meet that standard. In Boca Del Mar, a permitted remodel that touches window openings often requires impact-rated units under current Palm Beach County code. We always quote the impact-rated option first when the permit path requires it, so the first number you see is the number that passes inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and we’ll walk you through which option your permit actually allows.
In some cases, Palm Beach County allows a shutter-based opening protection system in place of impact-rated windows for certain applications, but it depends on the scope of the remodel, the location of the opening, and the type of permit you’re pulling. A shutter system still has to meet specific anchoring and deployment requirements. We install hurricane shutters and protection as part of our window and door scope, and we’ll tell you honestly whether shutters save you money on your specific job or cost the same as impact windows once the anchoring and hardware are accounted for.
