Fast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across North Lauderdale
Custom and geometric window replacement in North Lauderdale means navigating Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, where every opening must carry a Miami-Dade NOA number or the permit dies at inspection. Most of the city’s concrete-block homes still sit behind original jalousie windows or single-pane aluminum sliders from the 1960s and 1970s, and converting those tired openings into arched, circular, or oversized geometric glass is where we spend a lot of our time. You call (904) 893-3309, you get a live person, and we walk you through what’s actually behind your wall before you spend a dollar.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and Ed’s name is still the one on every quote we write in North Lauderdale. We’re not a national chain handing you a ticket number. We’re the crew that shows up to your house off SW 81st Avenue or Kimberly Boulevard, and we know what a 1968 CBS jalousie opening looks like because we’ve rebuilt dozens of them in this city. Our Custom & Geometric Windows team works with the same familiarity you’d expect from a neighbor who happens to know Broward County building code better than most inspectors.
Every technician who rolls into North Lauderdale is background-checked and in uniform before the truck parks. We publish our address and license number. We answer the phone at 2 a.m. because hurricanes don’t wait for business hours, and neither do failed window seals during a July storm. When a homeowner in the Broadview neighborhood calls about a leaking arched window that another company installed with the wrong approval number, we show up, diagnose it, and write the fix in plain English.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in North Lauderdale
Custom Impact Windows
Impact windows in North Lauderdale aren’t optional window dressing. They’re the difference between an insurance renewal and a cancellation letter. We order custom impact units from PGT and CGI with laminated glass interlayers and large-missile ratings, sized to your existing CBS opening or to a new rough opening we frame ourselves. Every unit ships with the Miami-Dade NOA number your North Lauderdale permit requires.

Geometric & Shaped Windows
Triangles, trapezoids, circles, half-rounds, pentagons. If you can draw the shape, we can spec it, order it, and install it in a North Lauderdale home without the install turning into a six-month saga. Geometric windows on older Broward tract homes often mean working with out-of-square openings and rusted steel lintels, which is exactly the kind of work that separates a real local installer from a crew that only hangs stock rectangles.

Arched & Curved Windows
Arched windows are popular in North Lauderdale’s low-rise townhouse clusters and on entry facades along SW 10th Street. The catch: a curved window that looks beautiful but carries no NOA number will fail inspection and get you flagged. We handle arched units with true curved frames, impact-rated curved glass where code requires it, and the HVHZ-approved buck system that keeps water outside where it belongs.

Oversized Openings
Opening up a wall for a picture window or a wide geometric composite in a 1970s North Lauderdale CBS home means cutting concrete block, installing a structural header, and often dealing with electrical runs buried where no one expected them. We pull permits, we engineer the header to the design pressure the opening requires, and we write allowances into the contract so any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we cut.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, and we keep the relationship with each manufacturer tight. When a North Lauderdale customer needs a specific custom size or a warranty part, we order direct, not through a big-box middleman. Fast turnaround on ordering means less time staring at a boarded-up opening. If you’ve got an existing PGT window with a failed seal or a CGI unit with a delamination claim, we handle the paperwork and the glass.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Out-of-square jalousie openings. Original jalousie windows from the 1960s and 1970s were framed differently than modern window bucks. When we pull one, the rough opening is often out of square by half an inch or more. A stock replacement won’t seat, and shimming without an HVHZ-rated buck is a water-intrusion failure waiting to happen.
- Rusted or missing steel lintels. On a late-1960s concrete-block home off SW 8th Street, our crew pulled an original jalousie and found the jamb headers rusted clean through from years of wind-driven rain. The opening had shifted enough that a stock PGT casement wouldn’t square up. We wrote a change order for a custom arched geometric unit with a laminated interlayer and a new HVHZ-rated buck, verified the design pressure against the Miami-Dade NOA before fabrication, and passed inspection first trip.
- HVHZ permits rejected for wrong approval numbers. A contractor submits a geometric window with Florida Product Approval but no Miami-Dade NOA. Broward County rejects it at inspection. The homeowner waits weeks for a reorder, and the opening stays boarded. This happens constantly in North Lauderdale because neighboring Palm Beach County doesn’t require the NOA, and crews that cross county lines don’t know the difference.
- Original aluminum frames corroding from humidity. North Lauderdale’s inland position spares the salt spray, but subtropical humidity wears down aluminum frames and vinyl glazing seals year-round. Daily summer storms drive wind-blown rain into failing door pan flashings and worn sweep seals. Under HVHZ code, that water infiltration is a compliance failure, not an annoyance.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in North Lauderdale
In North Lauderdale’s market, expect to pay roughly these anchors: standard impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. A single-hung impact unit lands between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, including most geometric and arched configurations, run $2,500 to $5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages on a 1,200-square-foot North Lauderdale CBS home fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening count, floor height, and frame material. A second-floor townhouse unit costs more because of lift equipment and staging requirements under Broward County safety rules.
What moves the price in North Lauderdale specifically: the number of openings you convert, whether the existing rough opening needs reframing or a new structural header, and the design pressure the specific wall faces. Custom fabrications run four to six weeks from order to install. Once your units arrive, we install as fast as a single day in most cases. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote. No allowances get buried, and no change order gets cut without your signature.
Pricing for Custom & Geometric Windows in North Lauderdale, FL
A single custom geometric window in North Lauderdale typically runs $2,500 to $4,500 installed, including the NOA documentation, permit, and structural work. An arched impact window lands closer to $3,000 to $5,000 depending on the radius and whether the glass needs a curved lamination. Converting a 1970s jalousie opening to an oversized picture window with a new header runs $4,000 to $6,500. If you’re pricing a whole home build-out with multiple geometric openings, the range is broad, $15,000 to $40,000 on the high end. We give you the written number before you sign, and we honor it. No vague “pricing varies” hand-wave. Call (904) 893-3309 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
The Hidden Costs Behind a North Lauderdale Opening
Every custom or geometric window replacement in North Lauderdale must carry a Miami-Dade NOA product approval number on the permit submittal. Neighboring Palm Beach County sits outside the HVHZ, so crews working there routinely rely on statewide Florida Product Approval alone. Bring that habit into Broward County and the building department rejects the permit at inspection, forcing a full reorder with weeks of delay. We write the correct NOA number on every submittal before we ever touch a wall.
Opening up an older North Lauderdale home also turns up what the original builders left behind: outdated wiring fished through jalousie frames, undersized or rust-damaged framing, failed waterproofing behind aluminum mounting flanges, and the code upgrades a permit triggers once walls are open. This is the single biggest reason a remodel quote moves. Here’s how we handle it: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch anything. That’s the Winslow way, and it’s why our quotes hold.
Florida Pays You Back
North Lauderdale homeowners can stack several programs to offset the cost of impact-rated custom and geometric windows. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades on eligible homes. Florida’s sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors removes the state tax at purchase. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many North Lauderdale homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, not us, but we’ll point you to the paperwork and walk you through it.
The Shutter Comparison Worth Knowing
Impact windows protect your North Lauderdale home every single minute, not just when you remember to hang panels before a storm. Hurricane shutters require you to be home, physically able, and ahead of the weather. Impact windows sit in the opening permanently, rated and sealed. We sell and install impact windows and doors only. We don’t install shutters. What we do install is a window that doesn’t ask anything of you when a category storm is 48 hours out and you’re stuck in traffic on McNab Road.

FAQs - Custom & Geometric Windows in North Lauderdale
North Lauderdale requires the Miami-Dade NOA. Florida Product Approval does not satisfy HVHZ code, and Broward County will reject any permit submittal that doesn’t list a Miami-Dade NOA product approval number. A reorder costs weeks. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll verify the NOA before we order anything.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common conversions we do in North Lauderdale’s older CBS homes. The work involves removing the jalousie frame, reframing the rough opening with a modern HVHZ-rated buck, and often installing a new structural header. We’ll inspect what’s behind the wall before we commit to dimensions, so you don’t get a surprise change order after demolition.
A properly installed impact-rated geometric window with a Miami-Dade NOA can qualify for wind mitigation credits on your North Lauderdale policy. Insurers look for impact-rated glazing and verified installation. The windstorm-premium credit after a mitigation inspection often averages around 25% on the windstorm portion. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free estimate and we’ll point you toward a qualified inspector.
A custom oversized window with low-E glass and an insulated frame will reduce solar heat gain compared to single-pane aluminum, which is what most older North Lauderdale homes have. In Broward’s humidity, the bigger win is often reducing air infiltration around old jalousie frames and failed seals. You’ll feel the difference in the room, and your AC stops working so hard. Call (904) 893-3309 for exact spec options.
Yes. We handle second-floor geometric and arched installations in North Lauderdale townhouse communities regularly. The work usually requires lift equipment and careful staging, but it does not require a full remodel. The opening gets prepped, the new HVHZ-rated unit goes in, and we finish the interior trim to match. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll assess your specific townhouse situation free of charge.
