AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Pompano Beach Highlands
Window and door work in Pompano Beach Highlands runs into a problem most homeowners don’t see coming: the permit. On homes built before 1994, pulling a window or door permit with the Pompano Beach Building Division routinely triggers a wind mitigation inspection, and that inspection exposes missing hurricane straps. The permit stops until the roof-to-wall connection is brought up to Broward County code. That single retrofit item typically adds $1,500 to $4,000 to a window replacement job, and it’s the exact cost every Highlands owner should know about before signing. We’re Windows & Doors specialists who know this market inside out, and we’ll put every scope item in writing before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pompano Beach Highlands’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and he’s still the one who answers the phone. That matters in Pompano Beach Highlands, where half the houses we walk into-including those needing our Kitchen Remodeling in Pompano Beach Highlands-have a story about a contractor who quoted one number on the phone and handed over a different bill at the end. We don’t work that way. Every price change gets written down as a change order before a single nail moves. Every permit gets pulled. Every inspection gets signed. If something isn’t done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means Tom comes back and fixes it, one call. No pushback, no fine print.
Our crews know the 33064 ZIP the way you know your own street. We’ve worked on CBS homes off NE 14th Street, near Highlands Park, and along the older blocks east of Dixie Highway. We know which houses still carry original jalousie windows, which sliders have corroded rollers from the salt humidity, and which jobs are going to trigger a wind mitigation surprise. That local knowledge saves you time, money, and a very awkward conversation with your insurance agent.
When you call us about windows or doors in Pompano Beach Highlands, you get a straight answer. Free estimates. A live person on the phone, 24 hours a day. A written line-item quote that matches the final invoice. And a face you’ll see again at the hardware store.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Pompano Beach Highlands
Window Installation
New window installation and Pompano Beach Highlands Driveway & Pavers projects alike almost always mean working with concrete block openings, not wood framing. That changes how we flash, anchor, and seal every unit. We install Andersen and Marvin windows when the budget allows, and we’ve done enough Highlands homes to know exactly which sill details hold up against wind-driven rain on a zero-grade lot.
Door Installation
Entry doors in Pompano Beach Highlands take a beating from the afternoon sun and the salt-laden air that drifts in from the Atlantic. We install exterior doors with stainless hinges and marine-grade thresholds as standard on Highlands jobs, because the cheap zinc-plated hardware fails within a few seasons. That’s not an upsell; it’s what the climate demands.
Window Replacement
Replacing windows in Pompano Beach Highlands typically means pulling the old jalousie or single-pane aluminum units out of a 1960s-1980s CBS house and putting in impact-rated or high-performance glass. The job itself usually runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on the count and the frame material. But remember the permit. If the Building Division flags missing hurricane straps, the scope grows before the windows can close in, and we’ll put that in writing the moment we know.
Impact Windows & Doors
This is the heart of our work in Pompano Beach Highlands. Impact windows and doors are the single most common retrofit we do here, because the pre-Hurricane-Andrew housing stock simply wasn’t built to current wind-load code. Impact window installation runs $8,000-$25,000 on a typical Highlands home. We also do impact sliding glass doors and hurricane shutters. Before you sign anything, ask the contractor what happens when the permit triggers a wind mitigation review. We already know the answer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pompano Beach Highlands
We stock and install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For Highlands window jobs, we regularly work with Andersen and Marvin. For door hardware and weather-sealing details in this salty, humid climate, we lean on manufacturers who engineer for the coast. We keep a steady inventory of stainless fasteners, impact-rated frame components, and replacement threshold systems on hand so we’re not waiting a week for parts when your back door won’t seal. If you already have a brand in mind, bring it up on the call; if you don’t, we’ll tell you what holds up on a concrete block house three miles from the ocean.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Pompano Beach Highlands Homes
- Corroded rollers and hinges: Salt-laden humidity from the Atlantic, just a few miles east, eats standard zinc-plated window hinges and sliding door rollers within a few seasons, even on inland Highlands homes. We swap in stainless or marine-grade hardware so the door keeps sliding five years later.
- Original jalousie windows failing wind-load code: Those crank-out glass slats were fine in 1972. They’re not fine now. They leak wind-driven rain and fail Broward wind-load inspections, often discovered only when a window permit forces the issue with the Building Division.
- Rotting window bucks behind the stucco: Flat lots with high water tables mean subsurface moisture wicks into wood-framed window openings and threshold subfloors. By the time you see a crack in the stucco, the wood behind it may already be gone, and termites follow the moisture.
- Sticking or sagging patio sliders: Concrete slabs in Pompano Beach Highlands shift more than people expect. A slider that dragged two years ago now won’t lock, which is both a security issue and a wind-code failure waiting to happen.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach Highlands
Because Broward County’s wind mitigation inspection, which is triggered when any home built before 1994 pulls a window, door, or roof permit, checks the roof-to-wall connection, not just the roof surface. Most 1960s-1980s CBS homes in Pompano Beach Highlands were built before hurricane straps became code, so the inspection exposes missing clips and toe-nail connections, and the permit stops until the retrofit is done. Your roof can be perfectly fine and still fail this inspection. Budget $1,500-$4,000 for the strap retrofit if your home hasn’t had one. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific house is likely to face before you spend a dollar.
Impact windows are not the only path to compliance in Pompano Beach Highlands; hurricane shutters or other approved protection can satisfy the requirement. But there’s a catch. Many Highlands insurance companies now ask for wind mitigation documentation at renewal, and impact windows earn a better rating on that report than shutters, which often translates to a lower premium. Shutters are cheaper upfront, usually $1,500-$6,000, but impact windows at $8,000-$25,000 may save more over a decade. We’ll quote both and let you decide. Estimates are free; call (877) 610-1318.
On a typical 1970s CBS home in Pompano Beach Highlands, expect $8,000-$25,000 for impact windows, $2,000-$6,000 for exterior impact doors, and $1,500-$4,000 if the permit forces a roof-to-wall strap retrofit. That’s a total range of roughly $11,500 to $35,000, with the strap retrofit being the line item most owners miss. We put every one of those numbers on paper before work begins. No allowances left vague, no surprise invoices. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote on your specific house.
Coastal-spec frames use stainless or marine-grade hardware, heavier powder coatings, and sealed joints that resist the salt humidity that drifts in from the Atlantic, even to inland Pompano Beach Highlands homes. Inland-spec frames with zinc-plated hardware will show corrosion on hinges and rollers within three to five seasons here. The upfront price gap is usually 10-20%, but the inland-spec version often needs hardware replacement within a decade. On a concrete block house three miles from the ocean, cheap hardware is a false savings. We’ll show you both options with real numbers.
You can keep them, but they won’t pass a Broward County wind-load inspection, and your insurance company already knows that. The wind mitigation notice is their way of saying your premiums are going up unless the house gets retrofitted. Jalousie windows leak wind-driven rain and fail current code. You don’t have to replace every window tomorrow, but you should know what the retrofit costs before your next renewal. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through the numbers for your specific house.
