AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across North Andrews Gardens
Window and door replacement in North Andrews Gardens is not a simple swap-out job. Most homes here were built between 1955 and 1975, and the original jalousie windows and sliding doors were installed long before Broward County adopted post-Hurricane Andrew high-velocity hurricane zone codes. That means a straightforward replacement often triggers a county permit, a wind-load review, and reframing work the homeowner never saw coming. Barrett & Sons Construction has handled these jobs across the 33334 ZIP code for years. We know which walls are load-bearing, which sills have settled, and how to keep a project moving through Broward County Building Division without losing weeks to avoidable delays. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.

Our Windows & Doors Services in North Andrews Gardens
Our Windows & Doors team handles the full scope of replacement and installation work in North Andrews Gardens, from single-window swaps to whole-house impact retrofits. Here is what we do most often for 33334 homeowners:
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors are the single best upgrade for a North Andrews Gardens home built in the 1960s. The original jalousie windows offer almost no wind resistance, and many have corroded aluminum frames after 50-plus years of salt air and afternoon thunderstorms. We install Miami-Dade approved impact windows that meet current Broward County wind-load requirements, and we handle the permit and inspection process from start to finish. A whole-house impact retrofit in North Andrews Gardens typically runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on opening count and frame conditions.
Window Replacement
If your windows are original to a 1955-1975 CBS home, plan for more than a glass swap. We regularly find rotted wood bucks hidden behind stucco returns, which means reframing before the new window goes in. We inspect every opening, level every sill, and shim every jamb so the new window operates cleanly and seals tight. Window replacement in North Andrews Gardens runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a typical home, depending on how many openings need structural work.
Door Installation
Entry doors and side doors in North Andrews Gardens sit in concrete block walls that shift slightly over time. We set doors with proper shimming and threshold support so they do not bind or leak at the first rain. Exterior door installation includes flashing, weatherstripping, and a clean trim-out, and we verify the rough opening before we order the slab or pre-hung unit. No surprises at the door, no surprises on the bill.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Original sliding doors in this neighborhood are a common failure point. Tracks bind within a year because the slab has settled a quarter-inch at the threshold, or because the original frame was never properly bedded. We replace sliding and patio doors with flush-sill units that keep water out during the June-to-September rainy season, and we level the threshold before the door goes in. Sliding and patio door work in North Andrews Gardens runs $800 to $3,000 per opening.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in North Andrews Gardens Homes
- County permit pulled on the wrong parcel. North Andrews Gardens sits unincorporated, but lots on the same street can fall under Oakland Park jurisdiction. If a contractor pulls a county permit for a parcel that is actually incorporated, the permit process restarts from zero. We verify every parcel on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before we touch a wall.
- Original jalousie windows hiding rotted wood bucks. Those 1960s aluminum frames look easy to remove until you open the stucco return and find the wood behind them has been soaking up humidity for 50 years. Replacing a rotted buck adds reframing time and cost that never appeared on the original quote. We flag this before we start, not after.
- Thin-wall CBS frames warping under impact window weight. Impact windows are heavy, and the narrow jambs on mid-century concrete block homes need leveling and shimming before the unit is set. Skip that step and the sash binds within a year. We set every impact window level and square before the first fastener goes in.
- Sliding door tracks binding from slab settlement. Eastern Broward County’s sandy-limestone substrate shifts. Thresholds sink, tracks bind, and the door that opened fine five years ago now takes two hands and a hip check. We level the threshold and set the new door on a stable bed before we call it done.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in North Andrews Gardens
If you are replacing windows or doors in a load-bearing CBS wall, or if the openings change size, you need a Broward County permit. North Andrews Gardens is unincorporated, so every construction permit and inspection routes through the Broward County Building Division, not a municipal building department. We verify your parcel’s jurisdiction and pull the correct permit before we start. If you are unsure, call (877) 610-1318 and we will check the county property appraiser map for you.
It can. Most North Andrews Gardens homes predate Broward’s post-Andrew high-velocity hurricane zone requirements, so a jalousie-to-impact swap may trigger a wind-load and roof-deck compliance review. If the review requires wall strengthening, you will see it as a written change order with a specific price before we do the work. We do not bury that cost and spring it on you at final inspection.
The sandy-limestone substrate under eastern Broward County shifts, and your slab settles a fraction of an inch at the threshold. That binds the track. We level the threshold, set the new door on a stable bed, and set the track so it drains water away from the house. The fix is part of the installation, not an add-on.
The door itself can be the same, but the permitting path is different. North Andrews Gardens properties permit through Broward County, while Oakland Park has its own building department with its own fee schedule and review times. We handle both, but we verify jurisdiction before we pull anything, because pulling the wrong permit means starting over from scratch.
Watch for a quote that skips the permit, skips the structural review, and does not account for rotted wood bucks or slab settlement. Those are the three cost drivers specific to this neighborhood, and a low quote that ignores them will either balloon mid-job or leave you with windows that bind and leak. We price those realities into our written line-item quote before you sign anything. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
What Makes Windows & Doors Different in North Andrews Gardens
North Andrews Gardens is an unincorporated Broward County enclave, which means every window and door permit routes through the Broward County Building Division rather than a city hall. That single fact changes the timeline, the fee schedule, and the compliance pathway for almost every project. And because most homes here are single-story CBS construction from the 1955-1975 era, a simple jalousie-to-impact swap can trigger a mandatory wind-load and roof-deck compliance review that a city like Oakland Park would handle under a different, often faster, municipal pathway. We know this because we have worked it dozens of times.
We scoped a whole-house impact window and door upgrade on NE 56th Street, where the original 1962 jalousie windows had corroded aluminum frames and single-pane glass. Our crew pulled a county permit, verified the wall openings were not load-bearing at the window heads, set temporary shoring where needed, and installed Miami-Dade approved impact windows plus a new sliding glass door with a flush sill. Before the final inspection sign-off, we worked through a change order because the rough opening size on the back door was 2 inches off the as-built plan, which required reframing to keep the waterline correct. That is North Andrews Gardens work: the permit path is county, the walls are 60 years old, and the as-built rarely matches the plan. We scope for that before we quote.
