Window replacement in Plantation typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full home, while impact window installation lands between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on opening count and the existing conditions we find. If you’re in a 1960s CBS ranch near Plantation Middle or off Peters Road, you’re likely dealing with original single-pane jalousie windows that have been fighting South Florida humidity for five decades and losing. We know the block work, the HOA layers, and the permit process specific to this city. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the house with you, tape measure in hand, and put real numbers on paper.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is the Name Plantation Homeowners Call for Windows & Doors
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owned and run by Tom Barrett since 1998. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’ll tell you to look it up before you sign anything. That’s the way he’s done business for over 29 years, and it’s why Windows & Doors in Plantation work keeps coming back to the same crew. His sons run most of the installations. Background-checked, uniformed, and on-site most days, not a rotation of strangers from a call center.
We answer the phone with a live person, 24/7. That matters when a window leaks during a July afternoon storm and you want to know if it can wait until morning. We’ll give you a straight answer, not a voicemail. And for homeowners here who have already been burned by a national outfit that quoted one number and billed another, this is the difference: every change order from Barrett & Sons arrives in writing before the work happens. No surprises at the end.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Plantation
Window Installation
Most Plantation homes we work on were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and many still carry original jalousie or awning windows. Those units were never designed for modern wind loads or the kind of UV exposure this city gets eight months a year. We install new windows sized to the existing openings when possible, with proper flashing and anchoring to CBS block walls. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and every job that needs a permit gets one pulled and signed.

Door Installation
Plantation’s older ranch homes often have front and rear doors that have shifted in their frames as the slab settled into the former Everglades flatland. We see hinges pulled loose, thresholds worn thin, and weatherstripping that’s given up. New exterior doors here need to be rated for hurricane season, and we install them with the right hardware and proper sill sealing for a high water table and daily humidity.

Window Replacement
Replacing windows in a Plantation CBS home isn’t just pulling trim and swapping glass. The block walls were often laid single-wythe with unfilled cores, which means we anchor new frames carefully to avoid spalling. We also flag issues while we’re in the wall, like corroded headers or rotted bucks, so you know what you’re dealing with before the new unit goes in. Written change orders keep that transparent.

Impact Windows & Doors
This is the most common request we get in Broward County. Plantation sits in the heart of hurricane wind-load territory, and many of its master-planned neighborhoods predate Florida’s post-Andrew building code overhaul. Impact-rated windows and doors bring those older CBS homes up to current code, often satisfying insurance inspection requirements and lowering windstorm premiums. We install with the continuous load path and tie-in details the Broward County building department expects to see. For the scope of work, we write every allowance and every change order down before anything gets ordered.

Sliding & Patio Doors
Plantation’s ranch homes often open to a screened rear patio or pool deck, and the original aluminum sliders are frequently seized, pitted, or simply uninsulated. We install modern impact-rated sliders with smooth rolling hardware and proper drainage channels for afternoon downpours. If you’re also looking at your exterior spaces, we handle Fence Installation in Plantation and Driveway & Pavers in Plantation, so the whole property can come together without juggling three separate contractors.

Custom Windows & Doors
For homeowners in Plantation Acres or the neighborhoods east of University Drive with larger custom builds, off-the-shelf sizes rarely work. We order custom units, including architectural shapes and oversized patio openings, and coordinate directly with the manufacturer on lead times. The price reflects the opening dimensions and glass package, and we’ll give you a line-item quote before you commit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We carry premium-name materials you can look up yourself, because the last thing a Plantation homeowner needs is a mystery brand off a van. On window and door projects we regularly install Andersen and Marvin products. For fixtures and finish components tied to the openings, we’ve used Sterling and Grohe hardware. Local parts stock means we’re not waiting on a slow freight order when a small piece needs replacing mid-job. You’ll know the exact brand and model going in your home, in writing.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Original jalousie windows leaking air and water. These became popular in the 1950s and 1960s when Plantation was first built out, and their glass louvers were never designed to seal against wind-driven rain. In a Broward County thunderstorm, they let water walk right across the sill.
- Seized or corroded sliding glass doors. Decades of humidity and salt air from the coast eat the rollers, tracks, and frames on older aluminum sliders. By the time they’re hard to open, the thermal break is usually shot too.
- Swollen and stuck wood doors. South Florida’s wet season swells wood doors, especially on the east and south exposures of these CBS homes. Without proper sealing, they bind, scrape, and eventually pull hinges out of the jamb.
- HOA-triggered window replacements. Because Plantation was built as a planned community, many neighborhoods carry active deed restrictions on window style and color. We handle the HOA approval package alongside the county permit so you don’t get fined for the wrong finish.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Plantation, FL
Here are the honest ranges for Plantation’s market. Window replacement on a typical 1,800-to-2,200-square-foot CBS ranch runs $4,500 to $15,000. Impact window installation across the full home lands between $8,000 and $25,000, driven by opening count, glass package, and whether we’re retrofitting into existing frames or doing full-frame replacement. Custom shapes and oversized patios add from there. Single-door replacement can run $1,500 to $4,000, and impact-rated sliders often fall between $4,000 and $10,000 installed. The factors that move the number in Plantation: whether your 1960s block walls need anchoring remediation, whether your HOA requires a specific finish, and whether the opening has water damage hiding inside the wall cavity. We write it all down. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with itemized pricing before you sign anything.

Plantation pricing runs in line with Broward County averages, but the older housing stock here often adds costs you wouldn’t see in newer-built cities. Homes from the 1960s and 1970s were built to a pre-Andrew code standard, and bringing them up to current wind-load requirements can include structural anchoring inside the existing block walls. That’s a Plantation-specific variable we account for in the quote before you spend a dollar. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact number on your house.
Every window and door job we complete in Plantation carries Tom Barrett’s 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.

For anything that comes up after the job, call (877) 610-1318 and a real person will pick up.
