We’ve replaced jalousie windows in 1960s CBS homes off Las Olas Boulevard and specified anodized aluminum frames for salt-exposed properties on the Intracoastal.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Fort Lauderdale

Hurricane Impact Windows

Every hurricane impact window we specify for Fort Lauderdale carries a Miami-Dade or Broward County NOA and is matched to the design pressure of the opening, never rated above the PSF the wind zone requires. In Coral Ridge and Rio Vista, we regularly pull original single-pane aluminum units from 1950s-1970s CBS homes and find undersized headers or rusted sill pans behind the stucco. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any surprise in writing before cutting.

Single Hung Impact Windows

Single hung impact windows are the workhorse replacement for Fort Lauderdale’s original jalousie and aluminum slider stock. A typical single-hung impact unit in Fort Lauderdale runs $900-$1,800 installed, depending on size, glazing package, and whether the opening requires reframing. We specify PGT, CGI, or ES Windows units with laminated glass interlayers and marine-grade hardware for canal-front properties where standard finishes fail early.

Double Hung Impact Windows

Double hung impact windows suit second-story Fort Lauderdale homes where exterior cleaning access is limited and tilt-in sashes are practical. The sashes lock at multiple points for HVHZ pressure requirements. We measure sightlines and frame depth against existing stucco returns to avoid trim gaps that let canal air behind the fin.

Wind Mitigation & HVHZ Code Compliance

Fort Lauderdale sits in Broward County’s HVHZ, where inspectors specifically flag products approved only under Miami-Dade NOA when a Broward-specific NOA is also required. A window that passes in Hialeah can get a failed inspection notice here. We verify both NOA numbers before specification and file the correct documentation with the permit. Your wind mitigation report will document impact-rated glazing on every opening.

Horizontal Roller & Sliding Impact Windows

Horizontal roller impact windows suit wide Fort Lauderdale openings where a single hung would limit ventilation. We specify stainless roller hardware and marine-grade sill tracks for canal-front installs. The multi-point locking system meets HVHZ requirements without the visual bulk of older impact designs.

Vinyl Impact Windows

Vinyl impact frames resist salt corrosion without the anodizing cost of aluminum, making them practical for Fort Lauderdale’s interior canal neighborhoods where brackish air still reaches. We specify CWS or ECO Window Systems vinyl packages with reinforced sashes and laminated glazing, matched to the opening’s design pressure.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

We draw from eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - specified by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. For Fort Lauderdale’s salt-air exposures, we regularly specify PGT aluminum with anodized finishes, CGI’s marine-grade hardware packages, and ES Windows laminated glass interlayers rated for HVHZ pressures. We do not stock inventory; every unit is fabricated to the measured opening, which means a 4-6 week lead time for custom sizes and a precise fit at install.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• Original jalousie windows triggering insurance non-renewals. Florida’s active private-insurance market is aggressively non-renewing Broward County homeowners with non-impact glazing. We replace jalousies with HVHZ-approved impact units and document the upgrade for your wind mitigation report.
• Brackish canal air rotting sill pans and hardware from inside code-compliant installs. Even a properly installed standard window fails early in Fort Lauderdale’s salt-laden humidity without marine-grade finishes. We specify anodized aluminum, stainless hardware, or impact-rated vinyl based on the property’s exposure.
• Miami-Dade-only NOA products failing Broward inspection. Out-of-area contractors regularly miss that Fort Lauderdale requires a Broward-specific NOA or dual-county approval. We verify both numbers before fabrication and file the correct documentation.
• Hidden framing and wiring surprises in older CBS walls. On a 1962 CBS home off the canals in Coral Ridge, our crew pulled original jalousie windows and found undersized header framing and a rusted-through sill pan hidden behind the stucco. We priced an HVHZ-compliant PGT impact unit with laminated glass interlayer and anodized aluminum frames plus a new pan, wrote the framing allowance into the contract, and got written sign-off before any cut. Final inspection passed with a Broward-specific NOA on file, and the homeowner’s wind mitigation report now documents impact-rated glazing on every opening.

What Impact Windows & Doors Costs in Fort Lauderdale

What moves the price in Fort Lauderdale: opening count and size, wind zone design pressure requirements, floor height (third-story installs require additional labor and equipment), frame material selection (anodized aluminum commands a premium over standard aluminum or vinyl), and whether hidden framing or waterproofing repairs surface after demolition. Canal-front properties in the Isles communities often require marine-grade hardware upgrades.

Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Florida Pays You Back

Several programs reduce the net cost of impact windows and doors in Fort Lauderdale. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit provides 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150) typically yields windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set final numbers; we document the product approvals and installation evidence you need to file.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Should Know

Impact windows provide permanent protection; hurricane shutters require installation before each storm and storage between events. Shutters protect the opening but do not improve energy efficiency, daylighting, or insurance documentation the way impact-rated glazing does. We do not sell or install hurricane shutters. For Fort Lauderdale homeowners in the HVHZ, impact windows are the only option that satisfies code, insurance, and permanent protection in one specification.
