AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Lauderhill
Window and door work in Lauderhill rarely stops at swapping glass. Most homes here went up in the 1960s and 70s as part of Herbert Sadkin’s planned community, and nearly all of them carry original jalousie or single-pane aluminum frames that don’t meet today’s Broward County hurricane codes. That means a simple replacement often turns into a permitted, engineered retrofit, and you need a contractor who knows that before the first wall comes open. Barrett & Sons Construction has been handling exactly this kind of work since 1998, with Tom Barrett and his sons on-site and a live person answering the phone at (877) 610-1318 any hour you call.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from three counties away. Tom Barrett lives twenty minutes from Lauderhill, and his sons run the crews that show up at your door. That means the person quoting your impact windows is the same person who’ll answer when you call about a trim detail three weeks after the job closes. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
Lauderhill customers tell us the same thing again and again: they’ve been burned by a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. That’s why every scope, every allowance, and every price change here arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we make sure he signs off on every eligible job. Ask anyone on your street about Barrett & Sons, or look up Tom’s name, address, and license number yourself. We publish it.
We also know the Sadkin-era housing stock in Lauderhill better than most. Homes off NW 47th Avenue, Inverrary, and the neighborhoods around the Lauderhill Mall weren’t built for impact-rated glass. We’ve spent 29 years learning how to reframe those openings correctly. That local knowledge shows up in every estimate we write.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Lauderhill
Our Windows & Doors team covers the full spectrum of work Lauderhill homes actually need. Here’s what we handle most often in the 33310 area.
Window Installation
New window installation in Lauderhill means working with concrete block and the shallow rough-ins left behind by original Sadkin-era aluminum frames. We measure every opening, check the buck for crumbled concrete or missing headers, and price the reframing into the quote before you sign. There’s no change order waiting behind the drywall when our crew already knew the wall was undersized.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and garage entry doors on older Lauderhill CBS homes often sit in rough-ins that were never sized for modern pre-hung units. We check the header, the jamb depth, and the flashing before we order the door. If the opening needs reframing to meet current code, you’ll know the cost before the first hammer swings.
Window Replacement
Most Lauderhill window replacements start as one or two failed units and quickly become a whole-house conversation. That’s because original jalousie windows are prohibited under current Broward County hurricane-impact glazing rules, and once a permit gets pulled, the building department wants the adjacent openings brought up to code too. We scope for that from the first estimate so you’re never surprised by a red-tagged inspection. A typical whole-house window replacement in Lauderhill runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the number of openings and the window line you choose.
Impact Windows & Doors
Hurricane impact windows and doors are the single most common upgrade we install in Lauderhill. These homes survived decades of storms with original jalousie glass, but that doesn’t mean they should. Impact-rated units from brands like PGT and CGI stop wind-borne debris before it enters the envelope, and they satisfy the Broward County glazing requirements that a permit triggers. Full impact window installation in Lauderhill typically lands between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on opening count and structural work needed behind the old frames.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill

You chose a brand you could verify, and we stand behind it the same way.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Rusted jalousie frames in original CBS openings. The steel or aluminum tracks corrode under South Florida humidity, and the louvered glass offers zero impact resistance. Once a permit is pulled, these openings must go.
- Crumbled concrete bucks behind old window tracks. We’ve pulled jalousie frames on 1960s Lauderhill homes and found nothing but a single 2×4 spanning the opening. No load-bearing header, no code-compliant framing. That’s why we inspect before we quote.
- Shallow Sadkin-era rough-ins that don’t fit modern impact doors. A new PGT door twisted into an undersized opening violates the manufacturer’s pressure rating and voids the warranty. Reframing has to happen first, and it has to be priced in writing.
- Windows left non-compliant after a partial replacement. Once one opening gets upgraded, the inspector expects the rest of the original openings to follow. We scope the whole house from day one so the second draw schedule doesn’t blindside you.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lauderhill, FL
Here’s what we tell Lauderhill homeowners before they sign anything. These are the real ranges for this market, not a national average pulled from a website.
| Service | Typical Lauderhill Price Range |
|---|---|
| Hurricane Impact Window Installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Custom Windows & Doors | Quoted per project |
What moves the number most is what’s hiding behind the old frames. A straight swap on a well-framed opening costs less. A rusted jalousie frame with no header and a crumbled buck costs more because the wall has to be reframed to carry an impact-rated unit. That’s not a surprise we spring on you at the end. It’s a line item in your estimate, written before you sign, and it only changes if you approve a written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate in Lauderhill. No trip charge inside the county, and we’ll walk every opening with you before we quote.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Lauderhill
Because Broward County code treats original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows as non-compliant with current hurricane-impact glazing requirements, and once a permit is open, the inspector can’t sign off on a partial fix that leaves adjacent openings failing the same standard. We scope for this on the first visit and write the whole-house cost into your estimate so you’re not hit with a surprise change order after the first inspection.
We stop, document it, and write the reframing into a change order for your approval before we touch anything else. This happened on a 1960s home off NW 47th Avenue where the old jalousie sat on a single 2×4 with no load-bearing header and a crumbled concrete buck. We reframed the opening with a code-compliant header, updated the flashing to current Broward County wind-load rules, and got inspection sign-off before closing the wall. You’ll see the updated scope and price in writing before the work proceeds.
Lauderhill sits on former Everglades sawgrass marsh, and the water table often runs two to three feet below grade. For sliding doors and any threshold work near grade, we use anchoring and drainage details approved for high-water-table conditions, and we coordinate the inspection closeout around the June through November storm window so your permit is signed before peak hurricane exposure. Exact methods depend on the door’s location and the existing slab, and they’re written into your estimate up front. Call (877) 610-1318 for a walkthrough and an exact number.
If the door replacement doesn’t require a permit that triggers a whole-structure review, it may slide through. But most door replacements on Lauderhill homes do require a permit, and once the inspector sees original jalousie windows in the same wall assembly, he’ll likely flag them. We’ll tell you what the building department is going to ask for before you commit, not after the red tag arrives.
Expect us to walk every opening with you, test each lock and seal, verify the flashing details, and confirm the inspector’s sign-off in writing. Then expect the 90-Day Done Right Promise in your hand. If anything shows up after move-in, a loose screen, a stiff roller, a seal that doesn’t sit flush, one call brings Tom back. That’s the promise, and it’s on paper. Call (877) 610-1318 to get your free estimate started.
