2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Window installation in Fort Lauderdale runs $650-$1,400 per opening for standard vinyl, with impact-rated aluminum climbing to $1,200-$2,800 depending on NOA certification and marine-grade hardware. Most Progresso Village and Coral Ridge ranch homes we measure still carry original single-pane jalousie windows from the 1960s, which means every replacement must clear Broward County’s HVHZ submittal with a current Miami-Dade NOA number. Call (754) 704-3597 and we’ll bring the measured survey to your door; the written price you keep is the price on the invoice.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homes Are Different
Fort Lauderdale sits entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, sharing Miami-Dade’s ultra-strict NOA requirement that does not extend to Palm Beach County. The city’s 165-plus miles of navigable canals create a salt-spray corridor where standard aluminum frames oxidize and steel hardware corrodes faster than inland Florida markets. We see this in Coral Ridge ranch homes and barrier-island condos alike: brackish tidal air meets southeast Atlantic exposure, and uncoated hardware fails in half the time it would in Orlando. Broward permit reviewers reject submittals where the product carries standard Florida Building Code approval but lacks a current Miami-Dade NOA, a distinction that trips out-of-area contractors who substitute mid-project and kill the inspection. We maintain a running list of NOA-current product lines specifically to avoid that scenario.
Before
AfterOur Main Fort Lauderdale Services
Fort Lauderdale homeowners call us most often for full-frame window replacement and impact-rated systems, though sliding patio door upgrades run close behind in condo buildings along the Intracoastal.
Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale
Most calls from Progresso Village and the barrier island start with original single-pane jalousie windows that insurers now flag as a coverage condition. We measure every opening, record the sightline and frame depth, and specify replacement windows that carry both the Miami-Dade NOA and marine-grade hardware ratings the salt air demands. Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale covers the full scope from measured survey to documented photo record.
Impact Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale’s position in the direct path of Category 3-5 hurricane tracks makes sustained 130-150 mph design-wind loads a realistic baseline, not a worst-case scenario. We specify impact-rated systems from our eight manufacturer lines by performance tier and price range, with every product verified NOA-current before the permit submittal leaves our office. Impact Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale details the full specification process.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Mid-rise and high-rise condos along the Intracoastal and beachfront require HOA board approval and coordinated building-access logistics before any sliding door replacement can proceed. We handle the measured survey, the written scope for board review, and the installation window coordination with building management. Sliding & Patio Doors in Fort Lauderdale walks through that process.

Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Window installation in Fort Lauderdale means working with concrete-block ranch construction from the 1950s through 1970s, where original single-pane jalousie windows provide zero hurricane protection and are increasingly flagged by insurers. The combination of HVHZ code requirements and salt-spray exposure from 165 miles of canals means every product we specify must carry a current Miami-Dade NOA and marine-grade hardware ratings, not standard FBC approval. Window Installation covers our full process from measured survey to final documentation.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Original single-pane glass, stuck or missing counterweights, or visible frame rot at the sill in a Progresso Village ranch home.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Vinyl single-hung installation runs $650-$1,100 per opening; impact-rated aluminum double-hung with NOA certification and marine-grade hardware runs $1,400-$2,400.
How we do it
We record frame depth, sightline measurement, and wall condition on the measured survey you keep, then install with proper flashing integration to the concrete block and seal with UV-stable silicone rated for salt-air exposure.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
Roller mechanism failure, frame sag causing binding, or single-pane glass in a home where insurers now require impact-rated replacement.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Standard vinyl horizontal roller installation ranges $750-$1,250; impact-rated aluminum with laminated glass and HVHZ hardware runs $1,500-$2,600.
How we do it
We verify the track embedment in the concrete block, replace with marine-grade stainless rollers and hardware, and document the glazing bead and drainage plane with photos you receive.
What Window Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Vinyl single-hung window | $650 - $1,100 |
| Impact aluminum double-hung | $1,400 - $2,400 |
| Horizontal roller, impact-rated | $1,500 - $2,600 |
How long does window installation take in Fort Lauderdale?
Most single-family homes complete in 1-2 days once product arrives; condo buildings with HOA coordination and freight elevator scheduling typically run 3-5 days. Call (754) 704-3597 for a measured survey and written timeline.
Will my windows pass Broward County inspection?
Every product we specify carries a current Miami-Dade NOA, the HVHZ requirement that standard FBC approval alone does not satisfy; we pull permits and schedule inspections as part of the written scope. Call (754) 704-3597 to review your project.
Door Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Door installation in Fort Lauderdale faces the same HVHZ code reality as windows: every exterior door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA for permit approval, and the salt-spray corridor from 165 miles of canals demands marine-grade hinges, thresholds, and hardware that standard residential products lack. We see this most often in Coral Ridge and barrier-island homes where original hollow-core or un-rated entry doors have corroded at the threshold or failed wind-load testing entirely. Door Installation details our measured survey process and product specification by performance tier.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Threshold corrosion, visible daylight around the jamb, or an insurer’s written requirement for HVHZ-rated entry protection.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Impact-rated fiberglass entry door with NOA-certified frame and marine-grade hardware runs $2,200-$4,500 installed; steel impact-rated systems range $2,800-$5,200.
How we do it
We measure rough opening, wall thickness, and floor level on the survey you keep, then install with pressure-treated buck framing, stainless fasteners, and a three-point multi-bolt lock system rated for 130-plus mph.
French & Double Doors
Signs you need it
Single-pane glass, rotted or corroded astragal, or operating difficulty from frame sag in a salt-air environment.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Vinyl French door pair with Low-E glass starts at $3,500-$5,500; impact-rated aluminum with laminated glass and HVHZ hardware runs $5,500-$9,500.
How we do it
We verify header capacity and floor level, specify a marine-grade adjustable hinge system, and integrate the sill pan with the exterior drainage plane documented in the photo record.
What Door Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Impact fiberglass entry door | $2,200 - $4,500 |
| Impact steel entry door | $2,800 - $5,200 |
| Impact French door pair, aluminum | $5,500 - $9,500 |
Do I need a permit to replace my front door in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, Broward County requires a permit for any exterior door replacement in the HVHZ, with the product’s Miami-Dade NOA submitted with the application; we pull permits as standard on every job. Call (754) 704-3597 for the written scope and permit timeline.
Can you match my condo’s door style for HOA approval?
We specify from eight manufacturer lines by performance tier and aesthetic requirement, with product data sheets and finish samples for board review included in the measured survey. Call (754) 704-3597 to schedule.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Fort Lauderdale
Energy-efficient windows in Fort Lauderdale address a specific climate reality: southeast Atlantic exposure and 165 miles of tidal canals create a cooling load that single-pane jalousie windows from the 1960s cannot manage, with FPL bills running 40-60% above comparable inland construction. The same salt-spray environment that corrodes standard hardware also degrades untreated low-E coatings over time, so we specify marine-grade frame systems with UV-stable glazing packages from ECO Window Systems and ViewLux. Energy-Efficient Windows covers our full specification process by performance tier.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Rooms that overheat by mid-morning despite blinds, or FPL bills that spike May through October with no thermostat change.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Low-E with argon fill in a vinyl frame runs $750-$1,350 per opening; impact-rated low-E with argon in marine-grade aluminum runs $1,600-$2,800.
How we do it
We measure solar heat gain coefficient against your home’s orientation, specify the appropriate low-E coating for east-west exposure, and verify argon retention with a spark test documented in your photo record.
Insulated Laminated Glass
Signs you need it
Street noise penetration, UV fading of interior finishes, or a requirement for both impact rating and thermal performance in one unit.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Insulated laminated glass with low-E and argon in a vinyl frame runs $1,100-$1,900; in impact-rated aluminum with marine-grade hardware, $1,800-$3,200.
How we do it
We specify the interlayer thickness for acoustic and impact performance, verify the warm-edge spacer for salt-air durability, and document the glazing bead and weep system with photos.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Low-E argon, vinyl frame | $750 - $1,350 |
| Low-E argon, impact aluminum | $1,600 - $2,800 |
| Insulated laminated, impact aluminum | $1,800 - $3,200 |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my FPL bill in Fort Lauderdale?
Most homeowners see 15-25% cooling-load reduction when replacing single-pane jalousie windows with low-E argon units, with full payback typically in 6-10 years depending on home orientation and shading. Call (754) 704-3597 for a measured survey and projected savings estimate.
Do energy-efficient windows still qualify for the Inflation Reduction Act credit?
ENERGY STAR-certified windows and doors remain eligible for the 30% federal tax credit up to $1,200 annually; we provide the product certification documentation with your written invoice. Call (754) 704-3597 to confirm current eligibility.
Impact Garage Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Impact garage doors in Fort Lauderdale face a code reality that inland Florida markets do not: the HVHZ requires Miami-Dade NOA certification for any garage door replacement, with wind-load ratings typically at 130-150 mph for single-family homes and higher for mid-rise structures. We regularly measure garage openings in Coral Ridge and Progresso Village where original un-rated doors have corroded at the bottom panel from canal-level salt spray, or where insurers now require documented impact protection as a condition of coverage. Impact Garage Doors details our specification and installation process.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Bottom panel corrosion, missing or faded wind-load sticker, or an insurer’s written requirement for HVHZ-rated garage door protection.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Single-car hurricane-rated steel door with NOA certification runs $1,800-$3,500; double-car with impact glass panels and marine-grade hardware runs $3,200-$6,500.
How we do it
We measure rough opening, header capacity, and track radius, then install with reinforced struts, heavy-duty spring system, and a marine-grade bottom seal rated for salt-air exposure.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Permit rejection on a previous submittal, or a Broward County notice that the existing door lacks current NOA documentation.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Wind-load upgrade of existing door with reinforcement kit and engineering letter runs $800-$1,800; full replacement with NOA-current door and permit package runs $2,500-$5,500.
How we do it
We verify the existing door’s wind-load rating against current HVHZ requirements, specify the appropriate reinforcement or replacement, and submit the NOA and engineering with the permit application.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Single-car hurricane-rated steel door | $1,800 - $3,500 |
| Double-car with impact glass panels | $3,200 - $6,500 |
| Wind-load upgrade, reinforcement kit | $800 - $1,800 |
Does my garage door need a Miami-Dade NOA in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, Broward County’s HVHZ classification requires Miami-Dade NOA certification for all garage door replacements; standard FBC approval alone will trigger permit rejection. Call (754) 704-3597 for a written assessment of your current door’s compliance status.
Can you match my home’s exterior with an impact-rated garage door?
We specify from Therma-Tru and other manufacturer lines with panel designs, window inserts, and finish options that meet both aesthetic requirements and HVHZ performance tiers. Call (754) 704-3597 to review samples.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale
Custom and geometric windows in Fort Lauderdale appear most often in Coral Ridge ranch renovations and Intracoastal condos where architects specified arched or oversized openings that standard catalog units will not fit. The HVHZ code adds a layer of complexity: every custom unit must still carry a Miami-Dade NOA, and the marine-grade hardware requirement for salt-air exposure limits the fabricators who can deliver both the shape and the rating. Custom & Geometric Windows covers our measured survey and specification process for non-standard openings.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Existing arched window with failed seal showing condensation, or a renovation design that specifies a curved top to match original 1960s architecture.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Custom arched vinyl window with low-E glass runs $1,400-$2,800; impact-rated aluminum with laminated glass and marine-grade hardware runs $2,600-$5,200.
How we do it
We template the radius on site with the measured survey you keep, send to the fabricator with the NOA verification, and install with custom flashing integration to the curved head jamb.
Oversized Openings
Signs you need it
Window wall or picture window exceeding 72 inches in either dimension, with visible frame deflection or seal failure at the center.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Oversized fixed vinyl window up to 96 inches runs $2,200-$4,500; impact-rated aluminum up to 120 inches with structural silicone glazing runs $4,500-$9,500.
How we do it
We verify header capacity and lateral bracing, specify the appropriate mullion or structural silicone system, and coordinate crane or boom access for high-rise installations with building management.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Custom arched vinyl window | $1,400 - $2,800 |
| Impact arched aluminum window | $2,600 - $5,200 |
| Oversized impact aluminum, to 120″ | $4,500 - $9,500 |
How long does a custom window order take in Fort Lauderdale?
Custom and geometric units typically run 8-12 weeks from templated survey to delivery, with NOA verification and marine-grade hardware specification adding 1-2 weeks to standard lead times. Call (754) 704-3597 for a measured survey and production schedule.
Can you replicate my 1960s jalousie window shape with impact-rated glass?
We can match the sightline and opening proportions with fixed or operable impact-rated units from Mr-Glass and other lines, though the louvered function itself cannot meet HVHZ impact requirements; we document the aesthetic match on the measured survey. Call (754) 704-3597 to review options.
