AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Lighthouse Point
Window and door work in Lighthouse Point runs anywhere from $4,500 for a straightforward window replacement to $25,000 for full impact-rated openings on a canal-front home, and most jobs take two to four days once materials land. The salt air coming off the Intracoastal changes what hardware you can safely use here, and a contractor from inland Pompano Beach or Deerfield Beach won’t always price that in. Barrett & Sons Construction has been running local crews since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s sons are on-site for most Lighthouse Point jobs. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll scope it in writing before anything gets ordered.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’re the name-on-the-truck alternative to outfits that quote one number on the phone and show up with another. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Homeowners in Lighthouse Point call us because we answer our own phone, live, 24 hours a day, and because every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name, they’re background-checked, and they’re uniformed on every visit. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers into 33064. When you call about impact windows on a finger-canal lot near Lighthouse Drive, the person who picks up understands what the seawall setback means, because we’ve pulled those variances before. That local knowledge is the difference between a clean inspection and a rework order.
Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we treat him that way. We stock common impact-rated hardware locally for Lighthouse Point customers, so we’re not waiting on a truck from a regional warehouse when a storm season rush hits. And every completed job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point
Our Windows & Doors team handles installation, replacement, and impact upgrades across Broward County’s canal-front communities. Here’s how we approach the four jobs Lighthouse Point homeowners ask about most.
Window Installation
New window installation in Lighthouse Point starts with checking the rough opening for salt corrosion on embedded anchors. We’ve pulled enough original aluminum single-panes out of 1960s CBS ranches to know that the lintels above them are often rusted through. We spec hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware on every install here, not the standard coated steel that’s still common inland. It costs a bit more up front and saves you from sagging headers and cracked stucco later.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and garage entry doors in Lighthouse Point take a beating from morning humidity and constant salt exposure. We install pre-hung units with marine-grade thresholds and stainless fasteners, and we check the slab for moisture issues before setting anything. For canal-front properties, we pay particular attention to how the door swing interacts with dock access and prevailing winds off the Intracoastal.
Window Replacement
Most of the 1955 to 1985 CBS stock in Lighthouse Point still carries original aluminum single-pane windows. Replacement means upgrading to insulated impact-rated glass that actually meets Miami-Dade County product approval. We measure, order, and install with the rough opening cleaned and prepped, so the new frames seat true and the flashing detail holds against horizontal rain. A typical mid-size home in Lighthouse Point runs $4,500 to $15,000 for full window replacement, depending on opening count and frame material.
Impact Windows & Doors
This is the big one on the canals. Impact windows and doors in Lighthouse Point are not optional upgrades, they’re what the building envelope should have been from day one. We install Miami-Dade approved impact units with laminated glass and reinforced frames, and we use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware throughout. That’s the spec that passes inspection near the water. Salt air eats uncoated steel here faster than anywhere a few miles inland, so we don’t cut that corner.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We carry and install premium lines you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. Andersen and Marvin are our go-to window manufacturers for Lighthouse Point homes, and we pair them with matching impact-rated door systems. We also work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge for any adjacent hardscape or paver thresholds around new door installations. We keep common replacement parts and hardware stocked locally for 33064 customers, which means faster turnaround when you’ve got a broken sash or a corroded roller track. If you have a brand preference, tell us on the first call and we’ll spec the job around it.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Corroded steel lintels above openings. Decades of Intracoastal salt air rusts the uncoated steel lintels over windows and doors, which causes sagging headers and stucco cracks. We replace them with hot-dipped galvanized steel before the new frames go in.
- Impact windows with salt-damaged anchors. Some builders install impact windows without checking the existing rough openings for corrosion on embedded anchors. The frames move during the first heavy storm and water gets in. We inspect and remediate every opening.
- Rear setback and variance conflicts. Finger-canal lots in Lighthouse Point are narrow and deep, and the required 25-ft seawall setback overlaps with the rear yard setback. Window and door rough-ins sometimes get framed before the variance is granted, then the city stops the project. We help pull the variance first so there’s no rework later.
- Original single-pane aluminum windows. The 1955 to 1985 CBS housing stock in Lighthouse Point mostly still has the original aluminum windows, and they leak, sweat, and rattle. Homeowners replacing them want impact-rated glass that also quiets the boat traffic, and that’s exactly what we install.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL
Below are the ranges we quote most often in Lighthouse Point. These are line-item ranges, not vague estimates, and they reflect the marine-grade hardware and Miami-Dade rated glass this canal-front market requires.

You’ll get a written, itemized quote, and any change order comes to you on paper before work moves. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.

| Service | Typical Range in Lighthouse Point |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Sliding Glass Doors | $8,000 - $25,000 |
What moves the number: opening count, frame material, whether we’re replacing lintels at the same time, and whether the job is on a canal-front lot requiring stainless hardware throughout. A standard three-bedroom CBS ranch off Lighthouse Drive will land lower in these ranges. A two-story custom replacement with multiple sliding door openings near the Intracoastal will land higher. Either way, you’ll see every line item before you commit.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
No, replacing windows does not void the structural or mechanical warranty on your home, though it may affect a window-specific manufacturer warranty if the originals are still covered. In most Lighthouse Point homes built between 1955 and 1985, the original windows are long past any warranty window anyway. What matters is that the new installation meets Broward County permit requirements, because an unpermitted swap can create problems if you ever sell. We pull permits on every eligible window and door job, and the inspection sign-off is part of the file. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your home’s specifics.
You need stainless or hot-dipped galvanized, and we spec hot-dipped galvanized as the minimum on every canal-front job in Lighthouse Point. Standard coated steel fails prematurely in this salt-air environment, and we’ve pulled enough corroded lintels and anchors out of these homes to know exactly how it looks after twenty years. The stainless upgrade costs more, but it’s the difference between a door that still operates cleanly in ten years and one that binds and leaks after the first few storm seasons. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item quote that shows both options.
The water table here often sits within 18 to 24 inches of grade, especially during the wet season from June through October, and that moisture wicks up through the slab and into door thresholds and window sills. We check slab moisture before setting ground-level openings and use sill pans and flashing details rated for those conditions. Skipping that step is how you get rotted subfloors and swollen door frames within a few years. If your existing doors are sticking or the lower window trim is peeling, moisture is usually the cause. Call us for a free inspection and we’ll tell you what’s actually going on.
Usually not, because replacement windows and doors in the same rough openings don’t change the building footprint or lot coverage. But if you’re enlarging openings, adding new openings, or moving a door to accommodate a remodel near the rear yard, the narrow finger-canal lots can put you in conflict with the 25-ft seawall setback, and that means a variance. It’s a local code friction point that routinely adds six to ten weeks to a project timeline, and an out-of-area GC who’s never pulled a Lighthouse Point variance won’t see it coming. Call (877) 610-1318 before you frame any openings and we’ll walk the lot lines with you.
It’s the sliding glass door, and it’s not close. Original sliding doors from the 1980s have steel rollers that corrode fast in salt air, aluminum tracks that pit, and single-pane glass that turns the living room into a wind chamber. Most Lighthouse Point homeowners replace the rear slider first because it’s the loudest failure point facing the canal, then do the windows the following season. If you’re choosing, start with the door. Get the opening inspected, because if the lintel above it is rusted, we’ll want to replace that in the same visit. Estimates are free, so call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll price both.
