Every Window Service We Offer in Fort Lauderdale, FL

• solar control glass
• SHGC rating
• NFRC label
• spectrally selective coating
• argon filled units

Energy-Efficient Windows and Solar Control Glass in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Vinyl is the value frame almost everywhere in America. In Broward it is a good answer for a narrower set of openings than the price tag suggests, and the reason is the approval listing rather than the material itself. The material is genuinely fine.

• vinyl windows
• vinyl replacement windows
• impact vinyl windows
• fusion welded vinyl frames
• multi chamber vinyl
• vinyl single hung
• vinyl horizontal roller
• HVHZ approved vinyl
• vinyl window cost
• white vinyl frames
• reinforced vinyl sash
• vinyl window sizes
• vinyl vs aluminum windows
• low maintenance windows
• vinyl frame warranty

Vinyl Replacement Windows in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Fiberglass is the frame we admire most and specify least in Broward, and we would rather tell you that in the first minute than after a deposit. The material is excellent. The approval situation in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone is thin.

• fiberglass windows
• pultruded fiberglass frames
• fiberglass replacement windows
• fiberglass vs vinyl
• impact fiberglass windows
• fiberglass window cost
• paintable window frames
• narrow sightline windows
• thermal expansion frames
• composite window frames

This is the page where we argue against the product. Aluminum-clad wood is a beautiful window and, in most of Broward County, the wrong specification. We will build it when the approval and the opening genuinely support it, and we will talk most people out of it first.

• wood clad windows
• aluminum clad wood windows
• wood interior windows
• clad wood replacement
• historic window replacement
• stained wood sash

Aluminum-Clad Wood Windows in Fort Lauderdale, FL

In most of the country aluminum is the frame you talk a homeowner out of. In Broward it is the frame we specify most often, for one reason: it holds the highest design pressures at the widest openings, with a deeper approved catalog than anything else here. That matters because South Florida housing stock is built around wide glass.

• aluminum windows
• impact aluminum windows
• thermally broken aluminum
• aluminum window frames
• narrow sightline aluminum
• aluminum single hung
• aluminum horizontal roller
• large opening windows
• high design pressure windows
• anodized aluminum windows
• powder coated aluminum

Aluminum Windows in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Most Broward homeowners who ask for double-hung windows are describing a shape they know from somewhere else. In this county the practical, widely approved version of that shape is the single-hung, and understanding why saves money and avoids a plan-review problem. Both operate the same way from a distance.

• double hung windows
• single hung windows
• tilt in sash windows
• impact single hung
• hung window replacement
• balance replacement
• sash balance repair
• vertical sliding windows
• hung window sizes
• bedroom hung windows

Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Awning windows are the shape South Florida invented a use for. A sash hinged at the top and cranked outward at the bottom keeps rain out of a room while it is raining, which in a county with an August thunderstorm most afternoons is not a small feature. Older Broward houses are full of them, usually in stacks of three or four narrow lites in a single aluminum frame, and usually with the operators seized.

• casement windows
• awning windows
• crank out windows
• impact awning windows
• multipoint locking casement
• awning over fixed lite
• kitchen casement windows
• bathroom awning windows
• hopper windows
• casement hardware
• stainless casement hinges
• awning window ventilation
• casement window sizes
• operator crank replacement
• casement window screens

Casement and Awning Windows in Fort Lauderdale, FL

The horizontal roller is the workhorse of Broward housing. Walk any block built between 1955 and 1985 and most of the glass in the wall slides sideways, because the shape suits wide openings, stays inside the wall plane, and does not care what is on the patio. It also happens to be the shape with the deepest HVHZ approval catalog, which matters more than aesthetics.

• sliding windows
• horizontal roller windows
• impact sliding windows
• two panel slider
• three panel slider
• slider window track
• roller replacement
• wide opening windows
• slider window screens
• sliding window locks
• florida room windows

• aluminum sliding windows
• vinyl sliding windows
• sliding window sizes

Bays and bows are the assembly the High Velocity Hurricane Zone treats least kindly, and it is worth knowing why before you fall in love with a drawing. The individual windows are usually approved. The thing that joins them frequently is not.

• bay windows
• bow windows
• mulled window assemblies
• bay window seat
• projected window assembly
• bay window roof
• window mullion
• angled bay window
• bow window radius
• bay window support
• bay window flashing

• bay window replacement
• garden window

Fixed glass looks like the easy item on a quote. Nothing operates, nothing wears out, nothing needs adjusting. In the HVHZ it is frequently the hardest unit on the house to specify, because everything an approval limits scales with area, and a picture window is nothing but area.

• picture windows
• fixed glass windows
• architectural windows
• arch top windows
• radius windows
• large fixed lite
• transom windows
• clerestory windows
• geometric windows
• custom shape windows
• laminated fixed glass

Picture and Architectural Windows in Fort Lauderdale, FL

An egress window is a life-safety opening before it is a window. The code calls it an emergency escape and rescue opening, requires one in every sleeping room, and expects it to work in both directions: someone climbing out, someone in turnout gear climbing in. That requirement does not relax because the county also demands impact protection, and the two pull against each other.

• egress windows
• bedroom egress window
• emergency escape opening
• egress window size
• sleeping room window code
• clear opening dimensions
• egress window sill height
• basement egress
• egress window replacement
• rescue opening
• laminated glass egress
• egress and impact glass
• code compliant bedroom windows
• addition egress window
• egress window installation

This is the whole county's default, and it is worth being precise about what the requirement actually is. Broward and Miami-Dade are the only two counties inside Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every glazed opening here needs protection, and the product has to be approved for this zone specifically.

• impact windows
• hurricane windows
• impact resistant glass
• laminated impact glass
• large missile impact
• Miami-Dade NOA windows
• HVHZ approved windows
• hurricane window installation
• design pressure rating
• storm windows
• impact window cost
• wind mitigation windows
• hurricane glass replacement
• impact window permit
• opening protection

Impact and Hurricane Windows in Fort Lauderdale, FL

The patio slider is the largest opening in most Broward houses and the one that decides how the place feels. It is also the assembly where the High Velocity Hurricane Zone bites hardest, because everything an approval limits scales with the panel. A laminated impact panel is heavy.

• patio doors
• impact patio doors
• three panel sliding door
• pocket sliding door
• multi slide doors
• sliding door rollers
• patio door track repair
• sliding door replacement
• hurricane sliding doors

Sliding Glass Patio Doors in Fort Lauderdale, FL

A pair of hinged glass doors reads better than a slider in almost any room, and in Broward the swing direction is not a style question. It is a structural one, and it changes the price, the hardware and sometimes whether the approval covers what you want at all. Outswing is the South Florida default for a reason.

• french doors
• impact french doors
• hinged patio doors
• outswing french doors
• inswing french doors
• double french doors
• french door hardware
• multipoint lock doors
• french door sidelites
• astragal doors
• french door threshold
• french door replacement
• hurricane rated french doors
• french door glass
• french door sizes

French Doors in Fort Lauderdale, FL

The front door is the smallest opening on this list and the one most likely to be forgotten during a window project. It is also a glazed opening in the eyes of the code, which means it needs the same approval path as the windows around it. That catches people.

• entry doors
• front doors
• impact entry doors
• fiberglass entry door
• steel entry door
• door sidelites
• entry door glass
• door transom
• entry door replacement
• hurricane rated entry door
• door threshold replacement

Screens are the least glamorous item on this list and the one homeowners ask about most often, usually a season or two after a window project, when the mesh has gone soft in the sun and the frames have started to bow at the corners. First, the thing that has to be said plainly: a screen is not opening protection.

It has no role in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirement, it carries no approval, and no screen product substitutes for impact glazing or an approved shutter.

• window screens
• screen replacement
• rescreening service
• fiberglass screen mesh
• pet resistant screen
• no see um screen
• solar screen fabric
• aluminum screen frames
• sliding door screens
• screen frame repair
• half screens
• full screens

• custom window screens
• screen spline replacement

Window Screens and Rescreening in Fort Lauderdale, FL

A fogged pane, a cracked lite or a failed seal looks like a small repair, and outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone it usually is. Here the answer depends entirely on what kind of unit you have, and the difference is thousands of dollars. Start with the diagnosis, because the three common complaints have different answers.

• glass repair
• insulated glass replacement
• fogged window glass
• failed seal windows
• broken window glass
• glass unit replacement
• condensation between panes
• tempered glass replacement
• laminated glass repair
• window reglazing
• IGU replacement
• cloudy window glass
• emergency board up
• single pane glass replacement
• sliding door glass replacement

Commercial glazing in Broward runs on the same approval logic as a house, then adds two things a house does not have. One is height, which changes the impact test. The other is an occupancy that cannot simply close for a week while somebody figures out the detailing.

• commercial storefront glass
• curtain wall glazing
• aluminum storefront framing
• commercial glass replacement
• office building windows
• retail storefront glass
• impact storefront systems
• commercial entrance doors
• tempered storefront glass

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling window work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
