Windows & Doors in The Hammocks - Written Price Before Anything Is Ordered

Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across The Hammocks

Window and door work in The Hammocks comes down to one thing the national brands will never tell you: your home was likely built in a specific window of time, under a specific code, and it either survived Hurricane Andrew or it replaced one that didn’t. That history changes what we recommend, what we install, and what the Miami-Dade inspector will pass. Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 and still run by Tom Barrett and his sons, handles window installation, door replacement, and impact upgrades across The Hammocks with written pricing before any work starts and a 90-Day Done Right Promise after it ends. We also offer Home Additions & ADU in The Hammocks for homeowners looking to expand. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and a live person answers, 24/7.

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

Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Our crews are Tom’s sons and their teams, not strangers pulled from a rotating subcontractor list, and they show up background-checked and uniformed on every visit to The Hammocks. We’ve walked hundreds of CBS homes in this community, the ones with original clay tile roofs and the ones rebuilt after August 1992, so we know what’s behind the stucco before we write the scope.

When a customer in the 33196 zip code calls about a sticking sliding door or a window that won’t seal, we can usually tell them from the phone call what they’re dealing with. That’s not a script. It’s 29 years of working Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. We also carry the L.O.C.A.L. values Tom built the company on: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.

Our Windows & Doors Services in The Hammocks

Our Windows & Doors team handles the full scope of work in The Hammocks, from single-window replacements to whole-house impact retrofits. Here’s how the four most common jobs look when we quote them.

Window Installation

The Hammocks Kitchen Remodeling isn’t all we do - new window installation in The Hammocks means working with openings originally framed in the late 80s and early 90s, which were built to a looser deflection standard than today’s HVHZ code enforces. We measure each opening individually, because settling on the oolitic limestone base means no two frames are perfectly square after 30 years. Every new window carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, the standalone product approval this county enforces above and beyond Florida statewide listings.

Door Installation

Entry doors in The Hammocks sit against concrete block and stucco, not wooden framing, so anchoring hardware and threshold flashing has to be done differently than in homes up in Broward or Palm Beach. We install fiberglass, steel, and wood entry doors with the proper sill pans and fasteners for CBS construction. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why we like him on every door job.

Window Replacement

When we replace windows in The Hammocks, we’re usually pulling out aluminum frames from the original build that no longer hold a thermal seal and let afternoon storm water creep behind the stucco returns. Window replacement in this community typically runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on how many openings you’re replacing and whether you step up to impact-rated glass. We write the allowance in writing before we order anything, and if the price changes, it changes on paper first.

Impact Windows & Doors

Impact windows and doors are the single biggest upgrade we recommend for pre-Andrew homes in The Hammocks. A house built before the 1992 storm was constructed to a code that simply did not anticipate Miami-Dade’s missile-impact testing standards, and the difference between a non-impact window failing and an impact-rated unit holding is the difference between your roof staying on and your living room pressurizing. Impact window installation in The Hammocks runs $8,000-$25,000 depending on whole-house scope, and we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks

We install Andersen and Marvin windows, plus GAF underlayment systems where window and door flashings tie into roofing transitions on those original clay tile homes. We don’t carry mystery brands off a van. Every product we use in The Hammocks carries a Miami-Dade NOA, because inspectors here will fail a job for products that are legal everywhere else in Florida but not on that county’s approved list. We stock common replacement parts locally so a window or door that needs a hardware fix isn’t waiting two weeks on a warehouse truck from Georgia.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes

• Corroded aluminum frames from the original build. Thirty-plus years of South Florida humidity and salt air eats the weep-hole channels and lock mechanisms on those late-80s aluminum windows, and they start binding or letting water into the sill track.
• Non-impact glass in bedrooms of pre-Andrew homes. Homes built before the 1992 storm often have old single-pane or annealed glass in sleeping areas, which a hurricane debris impact turns into flying shards, something current code specifically prevents in new openings.
• Sliding glass door rollers failing on limestone settlement. The flat oolitic limestone base under The Hammocks shifts slightly over decades, and sliding patio doors end up out of square, grinding on their tracks and leaking at the interlock.
• Threshold rot at the stucco transition. The intense afternoon thunderstorms, standing water at 12-18 inches below grade, and high humidity accelerate rot on any exposed wood threshold or jamb leg where an original door wasn’t properly flashed to the block.
