Fort Lauderdale Window Replacement provides professional window screens and rescreening in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. 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. Anyone implying otherwise is describing a different product.
What a screen does is keep insects out and let a house breathe on the handful of genuinely pleasant weeks Broward gets between December and March. That is worth doing properly, because a torn or sagging screen is the reason a window stops being opened at all, and a window nobody opens is an expensive fixed lite with hardware attached to it.
Mesh choice is most of the decision. Standard fiberglass is cheap, forgiving and perfectly fine on second-floor openings nobody leans on. Tighter no-see-um mesh is worth its small premium anywhere near a mangrove edge or a canal, where the standard weave passes exactly the insect you were trying to exclude. Pet-resistant polyester survives a cat that has decided the screen is a ladder, which is a specific and common Broward problem.
Solar screen fabric is the one that changes a room. An exterior mesh in a dense weave intercepts sun before it reaches the glass, which is a different mechanism from a low-E coating and stacks with it. On a west elevation the difference in afternoon comfort is obvious. The trade-off is view and daylight, so we recommend it by elevation rather than whole-house.
Frames matter more than people expect in salt air. A light stock frame in a wide opening flexes, the corners loosen, and the spline works out of the channel. Heavier extruded frames with reinforced corner keys hold their shape, and stainless clips outlast the plated ones that leave rust runs down a stucco wall within two years.
On new units, order screens with the windows. Screen sizes are tied to the specific frame series, and a screen ordered separately after the fact frequently does not sit in the track the way a factory one does. This is the cheapest part of a window project to get right at the start and one of the most irritating to chase down a year later.
And here is the honest downsell. Where the old frames are still square and their corner keys have not worked loose, we re-mesh what you already own instead of selling new ones, at a small fraction of the price. If you are having windows replaced anyway, we will fold the screens into that order rather than treat them as a separate visit. Screens are not where anyone should be making margin on a Broward homeowner.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens and rescreening
The difference between window screens and rescreening that lasts and window screens and rescreening 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.
