Windows & Doors in Sunrise - Written Price Before Anything Is Ordered

Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Sunrise

If you live in Sunrise, you already know what a window failure feels like during a wet-season afternoon storm. Water finds its way in through a dried-out seal, the frame swells, and suddenly that window that was fine in December won’t close square in June. Window and door problems here aren’t a someday project, they’re a this-week problem. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been replacing, installing, and hardening windows and doors in Sunrise long enough to know exactly how the humidity, the afternoon thunderstorms, and the pre-Andrew housing stock combine to create a particular set of failures. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews, and a live person answers the phone at (877) 610-1318, day or night.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunrise’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. His sons are on-site most days, which matters more than you might think when you’re dealing with a city like Sunrise, where the housing stock has very specific quirks. Most of the homes here are 1970s and 1980s concrete block construction, single story, built under codes that predate Hurricane Andrew entirely. When we open up a wall or pull an old window frame, we know what we’re going to find before we find it. That’s not a guess, it’s repetition.

Sunrise customers call us because we publish our license number and our address, and you can verify both before you sign anything. We answer our own phone. The estimate Tom gives you is the price you pay, and if the scope changes, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s not a slogan, it’s how the company has worked for over 29 years. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.

We also carry a Windows & Doors in Sunrise level of local familiarity that national outfits simply can’t fake. We know that homes near the Sawgrass Mills corridor get different afternoon sunlight loads than the older neighborhoods east of University Drive. We know which original aluminum frames in central Sunrise tend to corrode first, and we know how Broward County’s permitting requirements interact with window replacement in ways that surprise homeowners who’ve never done a project here before.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Sunrise

Window Installation

New window installation in Sunrise means more than swapping glass. The original windows in most Sunrise homes are single-pane aluminum frames, and by now they’re forty to fifty years old. Aluminum transfers heat, the thermal breaks are gone, and condensation forms on the inside during the cooler dry-season months. We install modern impact-rated and energy-efficient units, and because so many Sunrise homes are CBS construction, we’re used to the specific shimming and anchoring details that concrete block walls require. You don’t want a crew learning those details on your house.

Door Installation

Entry doors and exterior doors in Sunrise face two enemies: direct afternoon sun on the west-facing elevations and wind-driven rain during summer squalls. A door that was fine for twenty years can start binding and leaking in a single season once the frame shifts and the weatherstripping compresses. We install entry doors, side doors, and rear doors with proper flashing and sill pans, because in west Broward the rain doesn’t always fall straight down. It gets pushed sideways, and a door that isn’t flashed correctly will leak even when it’s square.

Window Replacement

Window replacement in Sunrise typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full home, depending on the number of openings and the frame material. Most of the homes we work on were built before impact glazing was required by the Florida Building Code adopted after Hurricane Andrew. That means we’re often replacing windows that were never rated for the wind loads they face today. When you replace a window in Sunrise, you get the chance to bring that opening up to current code, and we’ll talk you through what that means for your specific house before you spend a dollar.

Impact Windows & Doors

Impact windows and doors are the single most common upgrade in Sunrise, and the reason is straightforward. Sunrise was built out almost entirely between the mid-1960s and the late 1980s. Almost none of the original windows or doors meet today’s wind-missile standards, and on older homes, the structural connections between the window frame and the block wall are often just as outdated. Replacing with impact-rated units typically runs $8,000 to $25,000 for an average Sunrise home. We’ll give you an exact number, in writing, before we start.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise

We install Andersen and Marvin windows because they’re brands you can look up and verify, not mystery units off a van. For exterior doors we work with the same philosophy, preferring names that have stood up to decades of Florida sun and humidity. The point isn’t the brand name on a spec sheet, it’s that when we hand you a line-item allowance for materials, you can check what that material actually costs. No allowance games, no premium markup on something you could have read about yourself. If you need our Windows & Doors team to talk through the difference between a mid-range impact window and a top-tier one, call us and Tom will walk you through it in plain English.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes

• Original 1970s aluminum frames with blown seals. The single-pane aluminum windows installed in Sunrise’s original tract homes were never designed to last this long. The seals fail, the glass fogs, and the frames corrode at the corners where the afternoon thunderstorms hit hardest.
• West-facing doors that bind and swell. Sunrise gets intense late-day sun, and west-facing entry doors take the full force of it. Wood doors warp, composite doors expand, and the gap at the threshold opens up just enough to let rainwater in during a summer squall.
• Missing wind-missile protection on pre-Andrew homes. Homes built before 1994 were not required to have impact glazing or shutters. On many Sunrise homes, the first time a homeowner realizes this is when their insurance company sends a cancellation notice or demands a wind mitigation inspection.
• Improperly flashed replacement windows from earlier remodels. We see a lot of windows in Sunrise that were replaced once or twice before we arrived, and the flashing was done wrong each time. Water running down the concrete block wall gets behind the frame, rots the buck, and shows up as a mold smell on the interior drywall years later.
