Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we run the business. When a homeowner in Coral Ridge or Tarpon River calls with a question about a window that won’t seal or a sliding door that’s grinding, they talk to someone who can actually solve the problem, not someone reading a script. Our Fort Lauderdale customers consistently mention three things: we show up when we say we will, the price on the estimate is the price on the invoice, and when something isn’t right, we come back until it is.
That third one has a name: the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. It means if the work isn’t done right, Winslow makes it right. No proration. No fine print. No arguing about whose fault it was. A century-long standard of accountability, on every window, door, and roof we touch. It’s why homeowners in Edgewood and Rio Vista recommend us to their neighbors, and why a real person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We carry a published address and license number, and every technician who arrives at your Fort Lauderdale home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s at your door before you open it.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Fort Lauderdale
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship of what we do in Fort Lauderdale. Every replacement window in this city must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and we install laminated impact glass from PGT, CGI, and CWS that meets or exceeds HVHZ code for Broward County. We match design pressures to each opening individually, never applying a rating above what the framing and concrete block actually require.

Window Installation
Fort Lauderdale’s housing stock is dominated by 1950s to 1980s concrete block construction, which means window frames here get masonry-anchored into CBS, not wood-buck mounted into frame walls. Our crews are trained on that specific method, so your anchors actually hold when the wind loads spike. We pull the city permit, we schedule the inspection, and we don’t call the job done until it passes.

Window Replacement
Thousands of Fort Lauderdale homes still have original jalousie windows, the louvered glass strips that offer zero hurricane resistance and near-zero insulation. Replacing them with impact-rated, energy-efficient units is one of the highest-return upgrades you can make on an older canal-side home. We handle removal, disposal, anchoring, and finish trim, with no surprises on the invoice.

Door Installation
Your front door and your rear door both need to resist wind pressure, salt air, and daily thermal cycling. We install impact-rated entry doors from Therma-Tru and CGI, anchored to CBS openings and sealed against driving rain, as part of our Fort Lauderdale Door Installation service. Every door install gets squared, shimmed, and tested before we leave.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliding glass doors in Fort Lauderdale take brutal abuse: salt spray from the canals, constant sun, and hurricane-driven wind pressures. We install Fort Lauderdale Sliding Glass & Patio Doors built for coastal exposure, with heavy-duty impact-rated frames, stainless hardware, and marine-grade rollers that don’t seize after two seasons. If your tracks are grinding or your lock won’t throw, call us before the next named storm.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Fort Lauderdale are less about keeping heat in and more about keeping heat out. Low-E coatings and insulated laminated glass reduce solar heat gain, cutting cooling loads by an honest 20 to 30 percent in many of the single-story ranch homes along Coral Ridge and Edgewood. We’ll show you the actual product performance data for the exact configuration you’re buying.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest single opening in most Fort Lauderdale homes, and a non-impact garage door is a structural liability in a storm. We install Impact Garage Doors in Fort Lauderdale engineered for HVHZ wind loads, paired with reinforced tracks and approved anchoring hardware. It’s one of the fastest ways to close the biggest gap in your wind mitigation report.
Custom & Geometric Windows
From arched transoms in Las Olas Isles to trapezoidal openings in Harbor Beach, we fabricate and install custom and geometric windows through ViewLux and ES Windows. These are built to order, matched to your existing sightlines, and always certified to Fort Lauderdale wind codes, no matter how unusual the shape.
Roof Repair
Winslow is a full exterior-protection specialist, and that includes your roof. We repair shingle, tile, and metal roofs across Fort Lauderdale, with a focus on wind-lift damage, flashing failures, and leak tracing. A window-and-door company that also knows your roof means one fewer phone call when a storm passes through.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When repairs won’t cut it, we replace roofs in Fort Lauderdale with shingle, tile, or metal systems rated for Broward County’s HVHZ requirements. We coordinate with your window and door schedule so your whole exterior gets hardened at once, with one crew, one permit, and one point of contact.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Each roofing material behaves differently in South Florida’s heat and wind. We’ll give you honest guidance on which system fits your home, your HOA restrictions, and your insurance carrier’s expectations. No upselling to a material you don’t need.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Fort Lauderdale
Our crews work throughout Fort Lauderdale, with regular installs in these areas:
- Coral Ridge
- Tarpon River
- Las Olas Isles
- Rio Vista
- Edgewood
- Harbor Beach
Typical scheduling for an estimate in Fort Lauderdale runs within a few business days, and we coordinate directly with your HOA architectural review board when needed.
Why Fort Lauderdale’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Fort Lauderdale sits entirely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest building code region in the state. Every replacement window and door here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a standard so demanding it excludes most impact-rated products sold legally one county north in Palm Beach. That’s not a bureaucratic footnote. It’s the difference between a window that survives a real storm and one that becomes a projectile inside your living room.
On top of the code pressure, Fort Lauderdale’s 165-plus miles of navigable canals put an unusual share of properties on saltwater or brackish-water frontage. We see frame pitting, hardware corrosion, and seal failure at rates you simply don’t find 30 miles inland. That’s why we specify marine-grade aluminum alloys and stainless fasteners on canal-front installs in Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, and Harbor Beach, treatments that would be overkill anywhere else in Florida.
And then there’s the sun. Fort Lauderdale’s UV intensity combined with daily thermal cycling causes vinyl frames to warp and blister well before manufacturer ratings predict, because those ratings were validated in cooler test environments. If your windows face full western exposure and you’re seeing chalky frames or sticking sashes, that’s not a defect, it’s a climate reality. We account for it in material selection and installation technique.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Honest pricing matters. Impact windows in Fort Lauderdale typically land between $900 and $1,800 per opening, installed, depending on size, frame material, and design pressure requirements. A standard sliding glass door replacement runs $2,500 to $5,500. Custom geometric windows and multi-slide patio doors go up from there.
We give written line-item quotes before any work starts, and the price on that quote is the price you pay. No change orders. No “we discovered something in the wall” surprises. Winslow also offers $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (904) 893-3309 for an exact figure on your home.
Florida Pays Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Back
The incentives stack in your favor right now. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are exactly what that program targets. Florida also exempts impact-rated windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units, when the windows meet the energy performance standard.
And then there’s your windstorm premium. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many Fort Lauderdale homeowners see the windstorm portion of their premium drop by around 25 percent. That’s not a guarantee, every carrier sets its own numbers, but the savings often pay for the upgrades over a few years. One more thing to keep in mind: impact windows compare directly against hurricane shutters. Shutters only work when someone is home and sober enough to hang them in a panic. Impact windows are permanent protection, no panels to drag out of the garage at 2 a.m. And unlike a big-box retail install with subcontracted crews, a licensed impact specialist pulls the permits, passes the inspections, and stands behind the product for years.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, every replacement window and door in Fort Lauderdale must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance because the city falls inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. A product approved for Palm Beach County is not automatically legal here. We only install configurations with valid NOA documentation for your specific opening. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll walk you through what your home requires.
Most impact window replacements in Fort Lauderdale fall between $900 and $1,800 per opening, installed, with framed sliding glass doors running $2,500 to $5,500. Your exact price depends on opening size, frame material, and required design pressure. We provide free written estimates with line-item pricing, no trip charge inside the home county. Call (904) 893-3309 to schedule yours.
In canal-front communities like Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, and Harbor Beach, HOAs often control frame colors and mullion profiles independently of city permits. We routinely help homeowners run the city permit and the HOA variance concurrently, because getting this wrong means your windows sit on the job site for weeks while the board deliberates. We’ve been through enough of these reviews to know what will pass.
Once your custom units arrive, most replacements are installed as fast as a single day for a typical opening, though full-home jobs take longer. Custom fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks from order. We’ll give you a clear timeline in writing before you commit. Call (904) 893-3309 for a schedule based on your specific project.
We can point you to the program and make sure the windows and doors we quote qualify as wind-mitigation upgrades, but the grant application and inspection are handled through the state. We’ll give you documentation showing every product’s design pressure rating and NOA status, which is exactly what the wind-mitigation inspector needs to see. Get started by calling (904) 893-3309 for a free estimate.

What Fort Lauderdale Customers Say
"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
- Henrietta Pemberton"We sat out a hurricane behind the windows Ed put in. The gusts threw a neighbour's trampoline down the street and the loudest thing in our house was the kettle. I rang him after to say thank you and he answered his own phone, same as always."
- Thaddeus Okonkwo"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
