Fort Lauderdale Window Replacement provides professional bay and bow window assemblies in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. 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.
Three units angled out of the wall make a bay; four or more on a shallow radius make a bow. In both cases the structural question is the same one: what joins them. Inside the HVHZ that mullion has to appear in an approval, with its own tested pressure rating, or the assembly does not have a legal path through plan review no matter how good the individual windows are.
Some manufacturers publish factory-mulled combination approvals covering exactly that. Those are the products we look for first, and when one covers your opening at your angle, a bay in Broward is entirely achievable. What does not work is buying three approved windows and having a crew join them on site with a piece of aluminum, which is common and which is the reason a lot of Broward bays leak.
The roof over a projected bay is the second problem, and it is not a window problem at all. It is a small low-slope roof with a wall junction, a cricket and a flashing detail, sitting in a county where wind-driven rain arrives horizontally. It needs to be built and flashed as roofing, tied into the wall's weather barrier properly, and inspected as such.
Support under the projection is the third. Knee braces or cable supports carrying a seat and a person are one thing on paper and another after twenty years of humidity in a concealed cavity. On a replacement we open the underside and look before we quote, because rebuilding a rotted bay platform is real carpentry and belongs in the price rather than in a surprise on day two.
Given all of that, we often recommend something else. A wide picture unit flanked by two operating windows, all set flat in the wall plane, delivers most of the light and the view with a fraction of the risk and a much wider approved catalog. On a house where the bay was a builder's flourish rather than a design intent, that swap is usually the better building.
Where a bay genuinely belongs is a room built around it: a breakfast nook with a seat, a primary bedroom with a reading corner, a front elevation whose whole character depends on the projection. Those we build, with a factory-mulled approved assembly, a properly flashed roof and a rebuilt platform.
One small caution about garden windows, which people often lump in here. They are a projected box with glass on five sides, they are rarely approved for this zone at any useful size, and they are a solar oven on a south or west wall in Broward. If you want herbs in the kitchen, a shelf across an approved picture window costs a tenth as much and does not need an inspection.

Materials, equipment and how we do bay and bow window assemblies
The difference between bay and bow window assemblies that lasts and bay and bow window assemblies that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance documents, Florida Product Approval listings valid inside the HVHZ, TAS 201 large-missile impact testing, TAS 202 uniform static air pressure testing, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Lauderdale job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Broward County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Fort Lauderdale Chooses Fort Lauderdale Window Replacement
- ✓We quote from the current product approval, not a catalog, so the model, tested size range and approval number are on the estimate you sign.
- ✓The anchor schedule gets read before the price is set, because concrete, hollow block and a wood buck are three different installations at three different costs.
- ✓We open the perimeter of a sample opening during the survey, so failed buck material and masonry repair are priced up front instead of appearing as a change order.
- ✓We will tell you when approved shutters over sound existing glass are the cheaper legal answer, and quote that alongside the impact package.
