AfterFast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across North Lauderdale
Custom and geometric window replacement in North Lauderdale typically runs $800 to $1,500 per opening for a standard impact unit, while arched, curved, or oversized custom fabrications range from $2,500 to $5,000 installed. The reason pricing lands where it does here comes down to one thing: North Lauderdale’s CBS homes from the 1968–1985 building boom almost never have standard rough openings, so off-the-shelf units rarely fit. Our Custom & Geometric Windows team handles the measuring, fabrication, permitting, and inspection on every job, so the window that goes in is the one that passes Broward County the first time. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free in-home measure and written quote.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do. Homeowners across North Lauderdale keep calling us because we tell them the truth about what their house needs, and the truth about what Broward County will and will not sign off on. That level of honesty builds trust fast in a city where so many homes sit in HOA-heavy subdivisions and word travels down the block quickly. Our Done Right Promise means if a single thing is not right, we make it right. No fine print, no arbitration, no ticket number.
We know this housing stock. The single-story and two-story CBS tract homes that make up most of North Lauderdale’s 33068 zip code were built with aluminum windows that rack in their concrete block rough openings over decades of heat cycling. We measure every opening twice and check the jamb before we ever order a custom unit. That is why Broward inspectors rarely flag our work at final, and why North Lauderdale homeowners call us back when they add a door or a second round of windows. Every technician who steps onto your property is background-checked and arrives in uniform, and when you call (844) 901-4551, a live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail loops.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in North Lauderdale
Custom Impact Windows
Most window jobs we do in North Lauderdale start with insurance. Citizens and other carriers are non-renewing or surcharging Broward County policies without a wind mitigation report that shows impact-rated openings, so every Custom Impact Window we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number the inspector can verify on the spot. We size the glazing to the exact design pressure of the opening, match the laminated interlayer to large-missile rating, and pull the Broward permit before we touch anything. That is the difference between a window that lowers your premium and one that gets flagged at resale.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Hexagons, octagons, triangles, trapezoids, half-rounds, cut corners. North Lauderdale’s original builders occasionally used non-rectangular aluminum windows to give flat CBS facades some character, and those units are now failing at the seal and frame. We custom-fabricate geometric replacement units in impact-rated glass that meet FBC 2023, and we match the original sightline so the house does not look like it got an afterthought repair. If the surrounding opening has shifted, we reframe the jamb before the unit goes in. A geometric window is only as good as the rough opening behind it.
Arched & Curved Windows
Arched and curved openings are the most common custom fabrication request we get in North Lauderdale, especially on homes where the original aluminum radius window has corroded or the seal has failed from years of humidity. Radius windows cannot be cut on-site; they are fabricated to the exact arc in the factory, which is why measuring errors end up as expensive re-orders. We take digital radius templates, confirm the springline and rise, and order from PGT, CGI, or ViewLux with a Florida Product Approval that matches the opening. Custom fabrication runs four to six weeks, and installation takes as little as a single day once your unit arrives.
Oversized Openings
Oversized openings are where North Lauderdale’s CBS quirk really shows up. Concrete block rough openings from the early 1970s were not built to today’s egress standards, and a replacement unit often needs custom frame extension or reframing to carry the larger laminated impact glass. We handle the structural side, not just the glazing. Our crews have reframed jambs, headers, and buck openings across North Lauderdale so that oversized impact windows sit square, seal tight, and pass inspection with the Florida Product Approval sticker clean and visible. If you are planning a big fixed picture window or a sliding glass wall, let us measure before you order anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We install custom and geometric windows from PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, three manufacturers whose impact products carry the Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval documentation Broward inspectors want to see. We do not push a catalog page at you. We pick the brand and configuration that fits your opening, your elevation, and your wind zone. For North Lauderdale’s inland position, about five miles from the ocean, you do not need the heaviest salt-corrosion package available, but you do need Category 3–4 design wind speeds handled properly. We stock trim, hardware, and common replacement parts locally, which means a service call after installation does not turn into a six-week parts wait.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Aluminum frames racked in CBS rough openings. Five months of 90-degree heat every year expands and contracts original aluminum frames inside concrete block openings, and after 40-plus years the frame twists. A replacement unit ordered to the original glass size will not seat square. We check the jamb before we order.
- Permit-skipped impact packages on jalousie replacements. A contractor sells an impact window for a jalousie opening, skips the Broward permit, and then a neighbor complains. Now there is a stop-work order on an HOA-heavy street and the work has to come out. Permits protect you, not slow you down.
- Seal failure from humidity and daily heat cycling. Older insulated units in North Lauderdale lose their argon fill and fog up because the seal cannot handle the moisture load. Impact-rated laminated glass with a proper interlayer is designed for this climate. Cheap clear glass is not.
- Wrong laminated interlayer for large-missile rating. An arched window can have the right DP number but the wrong interlayer, and then the Miami-Dade NOA does not match the opening. The wind mitigation report gets rejected, and the homeowner is back to square one with the carrier. We match the interlayer to the rating on every order.

FAQs — Custom & Geometric Windows in North Lauderdale
Broward County requires a permit for any window replacement, even a single unit, and the work must be inspected for FBC 2023 impact compliance. On North Lauderdale’s HOA-heavy streets, unpermitted window work routinely triggers neighbor complaints and stop-work orders, especially during resale inspections when the missing permit surfaces. A permit is not optional, and a contractor who tells you otherwise is putting your closing at risk. Call (844) 901-4551 for a quote that includes the permit and the inspection, no exceptions.
The unit needs a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA that matches the exact opening dimensions, design pressure for the wind zone, and large-missile impact rating. North Lauderdale sits in a wind zone requiring Category 3–4 design wind speeds, so the laminated interlayer and frame anchoring must be documented for that opening, not just for the product line generally. We verify the NOA number against the opening before fabrication. Call (844) 901-4551 and we will walk you through the approval document for your specific window.
Yes. A wind mitigation inspection after a compliant impact window replacement typically lowers your windstorm premium, with many North Lauderdale homeowners seeing a reduction of roughly 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. The inspection itself usually costs $75 to $150. The key is that the opening must carry the correct Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, or the inspector will not credit it. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate and we will make sure your documentation lines up before the inspector arrives.
Custom impact windows use laminated glass with a structural interlayer that resists the moisture and daily thermal expansion that kills older aluminum single-pane and insulated units in North Lauderdale. The laminated construction does not fog from seal failure the way older double-pane units do, and the frames we install are anchored to the CBS rough opening so they do not rack in the heat. A properly installed impact unit is the best defense this climate has. Call (844) 901-4551 to see what fits your openings.
Yes. We take digital templates of the existing opening, account for any racking in the concrete block jamb, and fabricate a matching geometric unit in impact-rated glass that carries the right Florida Product Approval. If the jamb has shifted, we reframe it before the new window goes in so the reveal stays clean and the seal holds. The result looks original to the house but performs to FBC 2023. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free in-home measure.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in North Lauderdale
Here is the honest math. Standard impact windows in North Lauderdale run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hungs sit between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, including arches, curves, and oversized fixed units, land in the $2,500 to $5,000 range. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and go up from there based on opening count, second-story work, and how much reframing your CBS rough openings need. The biggest price movers here are non-standard opening sizes, wind zone requirements, and whether we need to rebuild a jamb before the unit goes in. We do not quote a window without measuring. We do not add a change order after we start. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote.
Florida Pays You Back
North Lauderdale homeowners have real incentive dollars available, and you should know about all of them before you sign. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is real money on a whole-home job. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And once a wind mitigation inspection, typically $75 to $150, documents your compliant openings, most carriers credit the windstorm portion of your premium by about 25%. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, and we will not promise a figure your insurance company has not confirmed. What we will do is make sure every opening qualifies for the documentation these programs require. Call (844) 901-4551 and we will review your house and your paperwork together.
