Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across South Miami

Window replacement in South Miami typically runs $5,310 to $17,700 depending on size and glass package, and impact window installation runs $9,440 to $29,500 for a whole-home job. Our crews are in the 33143 ZIP every week, and when you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers and we’ll schedule a free estimate at your home.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is South Miami’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’re not a franchise and we don’t send strangers from three counties away. Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up at South Miami homes. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, so the team you meet at your door knows the 33143 permit queue, the setback rules around mature live oaks, and which 1950s CBS ranch homes still have the original window bucks hiding rot behind the stucco.
Every job gets a written scope before we start. Every change gets a written change order before a single nail moves. And every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right, Tom comes back and fixes it. One call. No fine print, no phone tree. For over 29 years, our reputation in South Miami has been built on showing up when we say we will and putting the price in writing before the work begins. Ask anyone on your street, or look up our license number yourself.
Our Windows & Doors Services in South Miami
Window Installation
New window installation across South Miami means working with 1950s-1970s CBS construction, where the old aluminum frames were set directly into block openings and the sills have been baking in the Florida sun for six decades. We measure every opening, order the right sizes, and install with proper flashing to the current Florida Building Code. In neighborhoods like Ludlam and the streets around Dante Fascell Park, we regularly find original jalousie windows that leak air and let in every afternoon thunderstorm.

Door Installation
Front doors and exterior doors in South Miami take a beating from humidity and direct sun. Wood frames absorb moisture from the high water table and flat topography, which means the door that worked fine in January binds against the jamb by August. We install pre-hung doors, slab doors, and exterior entry systems that are built for this climate, not for a showroom in Ohio. If we see rot behind the frame, we tell you before we order the door, and we put the extra cost in a written change order before we touch it.

Window Replacement
Replacing windows in South Miami isn’t just about looks. The original single-pane glass in these mid-century homes lets in heat, noise from US-1 and Bird Road, and enough humidity to make your AC run nonstop from May through October. Replacement windows for this market run $5,310 to $17,700 on average, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before you commit. We pull permits where South Miami’s building department requires them, and the inspector signs off before we call the job done. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we like him.

Impact Windows & Doors
South Miami sits roughly 7-10 miles inland from Biscayne Bay, so storm surge isn’t the primary threat here. What you’re protecting against is wind pressure and flying debris, and the city’s municipal building department enforces wind-load standards that are separate from Miami-Dade County’s system. Impact windows in South Miami run $9,440 to $29,500 depending on the number of openings and the glass package. We install Andersen and Marvin impact-rated lines, and we handle the permit paperwork through South Miami’s own queue, which we know well enough to schedule around.
If your project touches the exterior of the home, you may find our Windows & Doors team coordinating with our Fence Installation in South Miami crew, since both often run through the same permit cycle. And when we finish a project that tears up the yard, we’ve been known to point people toward our Driveway & Pavers in South Miami work to clean things up.

Trusted Brands We Service in South Miami
We install Andersen and Marvin windows because they hold up to South Florida humidity and wind loads, and because you can look up exactly what you’re paying for before you sign anything. For Home Additions & ADU in South Miami and hardscape-adjacent projects, we carry Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers lines, but we won’t push a brand that doesn’t fit your opening or your budget. If you need parts for existing windows or doors in your South Miami home, we can usually source them faster than a national outfit because we’re already working in the 33143 ZIP most weeks.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in South Miami Homes
- Fogged double-pane glass after a hard storm. The seal fails, moisture gets between the panes, and the glass is permanently clouded. In South Miami’s humidity, this doesn’t dry out on its own. The fix is a replacement sash or full window, and we’ll quote it before you commit.
- Doors that bind in summer and swing free in winter. The combination of South Miami’s flat topography, high water table, and seasonal humidity makes wood frames move. We replace with materials and clearances built for this climate, not for a dry warehouse.
- Rusted or seized window cranks on casement windows. Salt air from Biscayne Bay, even seven miles inland, accelerates oxidation. Homes near the Snapper Creek corridor and the streets off Red Road see this constantly. We replace operators and hardware, or swap the whole unit if the frame is shot.
- Original 1950s-1970s frames that rattle and leak air. The old aluminum frames in South Miami’s CBS ranch homes have no thermal break and no weatherstripping left. They’re costing you money every month in AC runtime. Replacement with a modern frame resets the air seal and quiets the house.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in South Miami, FL
A straightforward window replacement in South Miami runs $5,310 to $17,700 depending on how many windows, what size, and whether you’re going with standard impact glass or a high-end Andersen line. Impact window installation for a whole home runs $9,440 to $29,500. Door installation on these older CBS homes usually runs from a few hundred dollars for a basic interior door up to several thousand for a pre-hung exterior entry with impact glass and proper flashing. What changes the price here versus a brand-new tract home: every 1950s opening is slightly different, and South Miami’s tree ordinance can add 3-6 weeks of review time if a protected oak sits near the work area. We’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work begins, and that price doesn’t change unless you approve a written change order. Estimates are free. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in South Miami
We can usually get to a South Miami home within a few days for a free written estimate. Since our scheduling runs out of our Miami (South FL) office and crews are already in the 33143 ZIP most weeks, it’s often faster than that. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a specific time.

Impact window installation in South Miami runs $9,440 to $29,500, which is right in line with Kendall and Coral Gables. The difference here is the permit process. South Miami is its own municipality with its own building department and tree ordinance, which can add 3-6 weeks of review time that unincorporated areas don’t have. We budget for it and tell you about it before you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, free.
If a window is broken or a door won’t secure your home, we’ll get you on the schedule as fast as the crew can get there. We don’t promise a 15-minute response, and we won’t lie to you about it either. But a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, and we’ll tell you honestly when someone can be at your home.
Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something isn’t right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right, one call. It’s not buried in fine print, and it applies to window installation, our Kitchen Remodeling in South Miami, door installation, replacements, and impact work. Manufacturer warranties on Andersen and Marvin products apply on top of that.
