AfterWindows & Doors in Fort Myers: What the Post-Ian Rebuild Taught Us
Window and door work in Fort Myers runs anywhere from $4,500 for a basic window replacement to $25,000 for a full impact window installation on a larger home. If you’re in McGregor, Iona, or along the Caloosahatchee, your bigger question is rarely the window itself. It’s whether what you’re buying will hold up to the next storm and whether the permit paperwork will pass a post-Ian inspection. Call Barrett & Sons at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through both.
We’ve been through every phase of Fort Myers construction, including Home Additions & ADU in Fort Myers, since long before Ian, and the rebuilding wave that followed changed how we spec windows and doors here. The housing stock along McGregor Boulevard and the older corridors is mostly 1960s-1990s concrete block stucco, which behaves very differently than the 2000s tract construction out in Gateway. You need someone who knows which opening tolerances to expect before the first frame comes out. That’s us.
Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Fort Myers
Fort Myers sits at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River. What that means for windows and doors is constant: 75% year-round humidity, daily afternoon thunderstorms from June through October, and UV exposure that chews through sealants and weatherstripping faster than most manufacturers’ warranty language admits. A window that works fine in Ohio for 15 years can start fogging or binding in Fort Myers in half that time. We’ve replaced enough of them to know which brands hold up and which ones don’t.
We’re a local, owner-operated company. Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call for window or door work in Fort Myers, you’ll talk to a person who knows the difference between a McGregor Boulevard ranch from 1972 and a Gateway tile-roof build from 2015. That local knowledge changes how we measure, order, and install. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is the Choice for Fort Myers Homeowners
Homeowners in Fort Myers have been through enough since September 2022. Hurricane Ian made landfall near here as a Category 4, and people in this town learned fast which contractors answer their own phones and which ones vanish when the check clears. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. He’ll still be there after the job is done, and so will we.
Our reputation in Fort Myers is built on what we put in writing. Every window or door job includes a written scope of work before we start. If anything changes, you get a written change order before the work happens. No surprise invoices. That matters to people in McGregor, Cypress Lake, and Villas who’ve been handed a different bill at the door by some national outfit. We also back every completed job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
For Fort Myers specifically, we keep crews scheduled so we’re not driving from the other side of the state when you need a door re-hung or a window sealed before the wet season kicks in. Dispatch is coordinated from our South Florida office, but the people doing the work in Fort Myers live and work in Lee County. There’s no trip charge inside the county, and seniors and veterans get 10% off permanently.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Fort Myers
Window Installation
New window installation in Fort Myers needs to account for concrete block openings that haven’t moved in 40 years. Older CBS homes along 33901 and 33905 have rough openings that are rarely square, and the humidity means using the wrong flashing or sealant will show up as a water stain by October. We measure every opening individually and order accordingly. No stock sizes forced into openings that don’t match.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, French doors, and patio doors installed alongside Fort Myers Kitchen Remodeling projects all fail faster here because of the moisture and heat. We see warped slabs and rusted hinges in homes all over 33919 and 33966. A solid installation here means more than shims and screws. It means sealing the threshold against afternoon downpours and adjusting for slab settlement that’s common in older Fort Myers neighborhoods.
Window Replacement
Replacement windows in Fort Myers typically run $4,500 to $15,000 depending on how many openings you have and whether you’re staying with standard glass or moving up to impact-rated glass. Many homeowners in Cypress Lake and Iona are replacing original 1980s aluminum frames that are pitted and fogged. We pull the old frame, correct the opening, and install something that actually closes tight. The difference in your cooling bill is real, and so is the difference in storm readiness.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact window installation in Fort Myers runs $8,000 to $25,000 for a full home. Since Ian, the discussion around impact glass has shifted. A lot of houses in 33908 and south Fort Myers are now in revised FEMA flood zones, and if you’re doing substantial improvements, your permit may require impact-rated openings whether you planned for them or not. We handle the product selection, the permit paperwork, and the elevation certificate coordination when it’s called for.
We also install sliding and patio doors, custom windows and doors, hurricane shutters, and glass railing systems. If you’re already working with our Windows & Doors team, we can often quote shutters and railing in the same visit.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Fort Myers Homes
- Fogged double-pane glass from seal failure. The heat and humidity cycling in Fort Myers breaks down the seal between panes faster than in drier climates. Once the glass fogs, the insulating value is gone and the fix is replacement, not repair.
- Swollen or binding doors during wet season. June through October humidity makes wood doors swell and stick in homes across 33919 and 33967. Often the fix is re-hanging with proper clearance, not a new door.
- Corroded aluminum frames on 1980s-era windows. The salt air and humidity eat aluminum frames over time, especially in Iona and McGregor. What starts as pitting turns into air leaks and failed seals.
- Impact-rated openings required after post-Ian flood zone changes. If your property was reclassified into Zone AE, a teardown or substantial improvement means your windows and doors need to meet current impact standards. We coordinate with the permit office on this so you’re not caught off guard.
If you’re also thinking about the outside of your property, we install Fence Installation in Fort Myers and Driveway & Pavers in Fort Myers. Many homeowners pair a new driveway with updated windows and doors during a post-Ian rebuild.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Fort Myers, FL
Window replacement in Fort Myers typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a standard home. Impact window installation runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on the number and size of openings. Door installation alone usually lands between $800 and $3,000 for a standard exterior door, with custom or oversize doors running higher. Patio and sliding door replacements fall in the $2,000 to $6,000 range in most Fort Myers homes.
What changes the price most is impact rating, opening count, and whether your permit requires elevated flood zone compliance. We give you a written, line-item estimate before work starts, and if the scope changes, you get a written change order before it happens. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put the numbers in front of you. Estimates are free.
