AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Boca Raton
Window and door work in Boca Raton isn’t like work across the county line. You’ve got the Architectural Review Board watching every exterior change, HOA boards in gated communities like Boca Pointe and Woodfield requiring pre-approval before you even pull a permit, and wind codes that demand impact ratings most national suppliers treat as an upsell rather than a starting point. If you’re replacing windows in Boca Raton, FL, the typical range runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a standard window replacement, and $8,000 to $25,000 for full impact window installation. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through what your specific home actually needs.
Key Takeaways
- Boca Raton’s ARB requires Mediterranean Revival-compliant frame colors, mullion profiles, and impact-glass reflectivity before any exterior window or door gets approved.
- Most Boca Raton homes are 1970s-1990s concrete block and stucco, which means specific anchoring and flashing requirements different from frame construction.
- Impact window installation in Boca Raton runs $8,000-$25,000; window replacement runs $4,500-$15,000.
- Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, with Tom Barrett and his sons on-site most days.
- Every price change is a written change order before work proceeds. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company

We know them. We plan around them.

We live the values that keep our phone ringing locally: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Boca Raton
Window Installation
Installing windows in Boca Raton means working with concrete block and stucco walls, not wood framing. Anchoring requires specific fasteners and load paths that meet Palm Beach County’s post-Andrew wind-load codes. We plan for this from the first measurement. In communities like Woodfield Country Club and Boca Pointe, we pull the original permits so we know exactly what framing and flashing the original builder used before we touch a single window.
Door Installation
Entry doors and patio sliders in Boca Raton face two pressures: the salt air east of Federal Highway and the HOA aesthetic rules west of it. We install doors that meet Miami-Dade impact standards and match the finish requirements your association board expects. If your front door needs to match a specific bronze finish or mullion profile, we handle that before the order goes in, not after the inspector rejects it.
Window Replacement
If your house was built in the 1980s or 1990s, the builder-grade single-hung aluminum frames are probably failing by now: fogged glass, worn weatherstripping, and air leaks on the west elevation. Replacing those windows in Boca Raton typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on how many openings and whether you’re moving up to impact-rated glass. We help you decide what’s worth doing now and what can wait.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact glass is standard practice here, not an add-on. Palm Beach County wind codes require 150+ mph design-pressure ratings for new exterior openings, and Boca Raton’s ARB adds another layer: the glass reflectivity, frame color, and mullion profile all have to fit the city’s Mediterranean Revival aesthetic. We order impact windows from PGT and CGI with the exact specifications that pass ARB review the first time. That saves you a re-order and a second approval cycle.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We carry premium brands you can look up: PGT, CGI, Simonton, and Ply Gem. These aren’t mystery brands off a van. When you need a specific impact rating or a particular finish to satisfy the ARB, we stock or can order the right product without guessing. For Boca Raton customers, that means faster turnaround when a window needs replacement before hurricane season, because we know which models the local reviews accept and which ones get kicked back. If a manufacturer’s warranty claim comes up after installation, we walk it with you. We don’t leave you to fight a parts department on your own.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Builder-grade window failure in 1980s-1990s homes. The single-hung aluminum frames from that era fog up and lose their seal, especially on the west elevation where the afternoon sun pounds them. We see this constantly in Camino Real and older sections of Woodfield.
- Salt-air corrosion east of Federal Highway. High-rise condos along A1A deal with embedded rebar corrosion and facades that spall. Windows and sliding doors near concrete balconies often need anchoring repairs before replacement can happen cleanly.
- Groundwater intrusion under sliding glass doors in west Boca. The water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade across most of the city. Replacing a sliding door on a ground-level slab in places like Sandalfoot Cove can mean hitting groundwater during rough-in, and the track won’t set right until we dewater the opening.
- ARB and HOA compliance rejections. A standard off-the-shelf impact window that would pass in Delray Beach or Boynton Beach will get rejected here if it doesn’t match the mandated Mediterranean Revival frame and mullion profile. We’ve seen tear-outs and re-orders from homeowners who didn’t know that.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Boca Raton
Yes. Boca Raton requires a city permit for any exterior window or door replacement, and if you live in a gated community like Boca Pointe or Woodfield, your HOA has its own architectural review that must happen before the city will issue the permit. The HOA doesn’t replace the city’s process. We handle both, in the right order, so your project doesn’t stall at the draw schedule.
The Architectural Review Board requires impact windows to match the city’s Mediterranean Revival aesthetic. That means specific frame colors, mullion profiles, and impact-glass reflectivity that fit the original Addison Mizner-inspired design. A standard off-the-shelf impact window that would pass in Delray Beach will be rejected here unless it’s pre-approved for ARB compliance. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you which models pass.
It can, especially if the door opening is on a load-bearing concrete block wall or if the replacement changes the rough opening size. In west Boca, groundwater under the slab is another factor. If the water table interferes during excavation, we dewater before setting the new track. That’s a line item in the written quote, not a surprise at the end.
If your home is still under builder warranty, the key is to make sure any window or door replacement doesn’t void it. That means matching the original manufacturer’s installation method, anchoring into the same structural points, and keeping documentation of every permit and inspection. We pull the original permits and match the original installation method so your warranty stays intact.
East Boca high-rise condos along A1A deal with salt-air corrosion, embedded rebar issues, and condo association requirements that often include specific approved contractor lists, additional engineering, and working-hour restrictions. The same window unit might be identical, but the surrounding building conditions and access constraints are not. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Working With Barrett & Sons Construction in Boca Raton
We just finished a window replacement in the Camino Real community where the builder-grade single-hung aluminum frames from 1993 had failed seals and fogged glass on the west elevation. Our crew pulled the original permits, matched the ARB-approved bronze finish and 2-over-2 mullion pattern, and installed new Miami-Dade impact windows with a design pressure rating over 150 mph, then walked the punch list with the homeowner before final inspection sign-off.
