Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews across La Porte today. We’re not a franchise sending strangers in a branded van. The people who show up at your door carry our name, and they live close enough that running into you at the H-E-B on Fairmont is a regular occurrence. That changes how we work.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is La Porte’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company

The phone rings, and Tom or one of his sons answers. That’s been true since 1998, and it’s the first thing La Porte homeowners mention when they call us after a bad experience with a national outfit. No voicemail tree, no out-of-state call center. You get a real person, day or night, at (877) 610-1318.

We work across both of La Porte’s ZIP codes, 77571 and 77572, and we’ve seen the full range of what this town throws at a house. Original 1960s ranches off Spencer Highway with single-pane aluminum windows that sweat in August. Post-Harvey rebuilds near the bay with FEMA elevation requirements and impact-rated specs. Homes on the west side where imported fill makes the slab move and the windows rack out of square. None of that surprises us anymore, which means we don’t burn your time figuring it out on your dime.

Every job gets a written change order before any scope change touches the work. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. And every completed job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract in plain English, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. One call.

Our Windows & Doors team works on bayfront homes, inland subdivisions, and everything in between. We’re not new to La Porte. Ask anyone on your street. Or look up Tom’s license number yourself. He publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he expects you to check before you sign anything.

Our Windows & Doors Services in La Porte

Window Installation

We install new-construction and replacement windows across La Porte, and we spec around what the bay does to a home. Salt-laden humidity off Galveston Bay corrodes standard fasteners and flashing measurably faster than it does ten miles inland, so we use corrosion-rated metal wherever it touches the envelope. If you’re in a 1970s brick rancher near Lomax or a newer build in the Fairmont Park area, the approach changes based on framing, sheathing, and existing trim. Window installation in La Porte typically runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on the count and style.

Door Installation

Front doors, back doors, storm doors, interior slabs. We handle all of it, and we pay attention to thresholds and weatherstripping because La Porte’s humidity and occasional tidal flooding punish a door bottom faster than most homeowners expect. Door installation in La Porte generally falls between $800 and $3,000 per opening, depending on whether we’re replacing the slab only or pulling the whole frame. If the slab has shifted (common on the expansive black clay under much of town) the rough opening often needs adjustment before a new door will hang square. We account for that in the quote, not in a surprise invoice later.

Window Replacement

We replace failed, fogged, or drafty windows throughout 77571 and 77572. Much of La Porte’s housing stock was built between the 1960s and 1990s, and those original aluminum frames were never designed for four decades of salt air. We see oxidized frames, broken thermal seals, and sashes that won’t stay up. A full-house window replacement in La Porte runs $4,500-$15,000 for most single-family homes. We quote it in writing, line by line, and that number does not move unless you change the scope, and if you change the scope, the new number arrives on paper before a single nail moves.

Impact Windows & Doors

If you’re near Galveston Bay or in a neighborhood rebuilt to post-Harvey elevation standards, impact-rated windows and doors are often a code requirement, not an upgrade. We install impact-rated systems from PGT and CGI, engineered for wind-borne debris and design pressures that standard windows simply can’t take. Impact window installation in La Porte runs $8,000-$25,000 depending on the opening count and product line. We also handle impact sliding glass doors and hurricane shutters for homes on the bay side of town. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.

Trusted Brands We Service in La Porte

We install and service Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT window and door lines, and we stock common replacement parts locally so La Porte customers aren’t waiting on a freight shipment from another state when a latch breaks or a balance spring fails. You can look up every brand we install. No mystery products off a van. If you’ve got an existing Simonton or PGT install and one window isn’t operating right, we can usually match the product line and handle the repair or replacement without telling you it’s time to replace the whole house full of glass. We also handle our related trades in town, so if your window project turns into a bigger exterior conversation, we can talk you through Fence Installation in La Porte or Driveway & Pavers in La Porte as part of the same scope, written up the same way, on the same contract.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in La Porte Homes

• Corroded frames and hardware. Direct exposure to Galveston Bay’s salt-laden air eats aluminum frames, steel hinges, and zinc flashing measurably faster than houses even five miles inland. We regularly replace hardware that’s seized solid from salt corrosion on homes off Bayshore Drive.
• Slab movement racking windows out of square. The expansive black clay under La Porte expands and contracts every wet-dry cycle, and 50-year-old slabs show it. Windows bind, sashes won’t close, and locks stop lining up. The fix is often reframing or shimming, not just caulk.
• Post-Harvey rebuilds with mismatched openings. We see original pre-1980s construction sitting next door to FEMA-elevation-compliant rebuilds. The opening sizes, flashing details, and code standards are completely different block to block. A crew that only knows one era of construction gets lost fast.
• Flood-damaged thresholds and door bottoms. Lower-lying neighborhoods around 77571 back up to tidal influence, and doors that sat through standing water deteriorate from the bottom up. We replace rotted door slabs and frames with materials rated for moisture exposure, and we adjust thresholds so drainage moves away from the house.
