Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Fort Lauderdale sits entirely inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the only part of the state besides Miami-Dade County with that designation. That’s not a technicality. It means every replacement window or door you install has to carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and be installed per its exact specifications, or it fails inspection. We handle that paperwork and compliance every single week in neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Coral Ridge, where most homes went up in the 1950s through the 1970s and still have original single-pane aluminum frames. Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle every install. You know exactly who’s at your door before the truck pulls up.
Beyond the paperwork, Fort Lauderdale’s 165+ miles of inland waterways mean salt spray comes at your home from multiple directions at once. Marine-grade hardware and frame coatings aren’t an upsell here; they’re what keeps a door from corroding shut within three years. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 because he was tired of watching national chains send subcontracted crews into local homes with no accountability. The Done Right Promise is our guarantee: if it’s not done right, we make it right. A lasting standard. No ticket number, no runaround.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Fort Lauderdale
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Fort Lauderdale homes, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, design pressures matched to each opening, HVHZ compliance where required. We install PGT and CGI units, two names that dominate the South Florida impact market for a reason.

Window Installation
Replacing windows in a mid-century concrete-block ranch isn’t a drop-in job. Those original openings were framed for jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum. We handle the retrofitting, shimming, and flashing so your new units seat correctly and seal tight the first time.

Window Replacement
Older east-side Fort Lauderdale homes often trigger a whole-house window replacement the moment any permitted remodel touches 50% of the structure’s value. We help you work through that requirement without surprises.

Door Installation
From front entry doors to side garage doors, we install Therma-Tru and other rated lines that carry the impact certifications Fort Lauderdale inspectors want to see. A door that warps or rusts at the threshold within two years isn’t acceptable here.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Salt air is merciless on sliding door tracks and rollers. We install marine-grade hardware with impact-rated glass so your patio door doesn’t fight you every time you open it, and doesn’t fail when the pressure drops.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Fort Lauderdale averages over 3,000 hours of direct sun annually. That’s brutal on glazing seals and frame gaskets. Upgrading to energy-certified units can cut cooling loads by roughly 20-30%, which matters when your AC runs ten months a year.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the single largest opening in most Fort Lauderdale homes. A non-rated door buckling during a storm depressurizes the entire structure. We install impact-rated garage doors engineered for the HVHZ wind zone.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Rio Vista and Coral Ridge have some genuinely beautiful mid-century homes with unusual window shapes. We do custom and geometric windows, including ViewLux and CWS lines, fabricated to spec with impact glazing.
Roof Repair
A loose shingle or cracked tile in Fort Lauderdale’s rain season becomes a ceiling stain fast. We repair shingle, tile, and metal roofs, and we’re the same crew you can call when a branch drops during a summer squall.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacements in a Category 5 design wind zone require proper underlayment, fastening patterns, and inspection coordination. We pull permits and pass inspections, so your insurance paperwork stays clean.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Each roofing material behaves differently in Fort Lauderdale’s heat and salt air. We install all three, matched to your home’s structural capacity and the aesthetic of your neighborhood.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Fort Lauderdale
Our crews are in Fort Lauderdale every day. Response time for estimates typically runs one to two days once you call, depending on scheduling. The neighborhoods we work in most often:
- Victoria Park — 1950s-era ranch homes needing full window replacement
- Coral Ridge — mid-century homes with original jalousie windows
- Rio Vista — larger custom homes and waterfront properties needing custom glass
- Tarpon River — older single-family homes near the New River
- Harbordale — low-rise condos and smaller homes near the 33301 ZIP code area
We cover ZIP codes 33301, 33302, 33303, and 33325, along with the rest of Fort Lauderdale and surrounding Broward communities.
Why Fort Lauderdale’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Fort Lauderdale sits in a Category 5 design wind zone under the Florida Building Code, with design pressures exceeding 170 mph. That’s not alarmism; it’s what the code says your windows need to withstand. The gap between a compliant and non-compliant installation is a window that stays in the wall versus a window that becomes a projectile. Add in over 3,000 hours of direct sun per year, and UV degradation of glazing seals and frame gaskets runs on fast-forward compared to almost anywhere else in the country.
Jalousie window replacement is a bread-and-butter job in Fort Lauderdale’s older east-side neighborhoods in a way it simply isn’t elsewhere. Broward County’s code states that any permitted work triggering substantial improvement to a pre-HVHZ home requires all windows brought up to current impact-rated standards. So a kitchen remodel can force a whole-house window replacement. We see this all the time: homeowners start with a tile and cabinet budget, then discover the window package is the real line item. Knowing that before you sign a remodel contract saves you a lot of pain. And when you look at impact windows versus hurricane shutters, permanent protection wins for most Fort Lauderdale homeowners. No panels in the garage, no 45-minute scramble when a storm watch drops, no annual hardware maintenance.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
You deserve straight numbers, so here they are. Impact window prices in Fort Lauderdale typically run $900 to $2,300 per opening installed, depending on size, design pressure, and whether you’re in a high-rise or single-family home.

Roof repairs start around $400 and full replacements range from $12,000 to $35,000 based on material and square footage.

Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact quote.
Florida Pays Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Back
Right now, Fort Lauderdale homeowners can stack multiple incentives on impact windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and that program has been seeing strong demand in Broward. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. Your windstorm insurance premium typically drops after you complete a wind-mitigation inspection and submit the results to your carrier; average windstorm-premium credits run around 25% on the windstorm portion. Inspection costs run $75 to $150. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, but these incentives are currently active. We walk you through eligibility for every one of them.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale sits inside the Florida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every window replacement you do must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance regardless of shutters. Shutters satisfy the code requirement for existing windows, but they only work if you’re home to deploy them, and they do nothing for UV damage, energy efficiency, or salt-air corrosion the other 364 days of the year. Impact windows protect permanently with no panels to hang. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home needs.

What Fort Lauderdale Customers Say
"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
— Rosalind Beaumont"He replaced the front door and the garage door in the same week, both rated for impact, and lined the frames up so straight my level had nothing to say. My wife stopped hearing the highway from the front room."
— Maximilian Vasquez"Excellent work and a fair price for what it is, though impact glass is never cheap and one bedroom window arrived with a scratched pane. Ed flagged it before I saw it and the replacement went in without me chasing anyone."
— Bartholomew Crenshaw
