Arched & Curved Windows in Pompano Beach, FL

Arched and curved windows are custom-fabricated openings built to exact angles and radii – no two are alike, and standard off-the-shelf units simply don’t fit them. In Pompano Beach, where Mediterranean Revival and coastal contemporary architecture are both common, these windows show up in entryways, great rooms, and stairwells across neighborhoods from Harbor Village to Cypress Creek. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we measure, source, and install our Custom & Geometric Windows services to the exact specifications of your opening, and we back every job with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. Call us at (904) 893-3309 – a live person picks up every time, day or night.

This page is part of our broader Custom & Geometric Windows in Pompano Beach service, which covers everything from radius tops and half-rounds to full-circle, elliptical, and polygon units. Arched and curved windows are the most requested of those shapes, so they earn their own page – because the fabrication process, the installation challenges, and the Pompano Beach-specific concerns are distinct enough to deserve a focused conversation.

Ed Winslow has been doing this since 2011, and his name is on every job we take. If we say it fits, it fits. If it doesn’t, we come back and make it right – not because a warranty document says we have to, but because that’s the standard Ed set when he founded this company.

When You Need Arched & Curved Windows

Not every homeowner in Pompano Beach knows they have a problem until a storm season puts it in front of them. These are the situations where a call to us makes sense:

• Your existing arched unit leaks during heavy rain. South Florida’s summer storm pattern – afternoon squalls pushing wind-driven rain at steep angles – exploits any gap in the frame seal of a curved window faster than it would on a standard rectangular unit. If you’re seeing water intrusion at the arch, the glazing seal or the frame itself may be failing.
• You’re replacing standard windows and want a consistent look. Many homes in the Pompano Beach area have arched transom windows above entry doors or paired double-hung units. Replacing the rectangles without matching the arch above creates a mismatched aesthetic that hurts curb appeal and resale value.
• Your curved glass is cracked, clouded, or no longer impact-rated. Florida Building Code requires impact-resistant glazing in wind-borne debris regions, and Broward County falls squarely in that zone. An old arched window with single-pane or non-impact glass isn’t just dated – it may be out of code compliance.
• You’re building an addition or doing a remodel. Architects specifying arched or Palladian-style openings in new construction or renovation projects in Pompano Beach need a fabricator and installer who can work from architectural drawings and meet local permit requirements. That’s a different skill set than replacing a standard slider.
• Your current unit is painted shut, operationally frozen, or impossible to open. Curved windows in older Pompano Beach homes – especially in the Highlands area – were often installed with aluminum frames that have corroded over decades of salt-air exposure. When they stop operating, a replacement is almost always the better call.
• You’re upgrading for energy efficiency. Single-pane arched glass, common in homes built before the mid-1990s, does almost nothing to block Pompano Beach’s intense solar heat gain. A modern low-E, impact-rated curved unit can meaningfully reduce cooling loads in rooms that face south or west.

Our Arched & Curved Windows Process

Custom arched and curved windows are not a same-day stock pickup. The process requires precision at every step, and shortcuts create problems that cost more to fix than to avoid. Here’s how we do it:

1. On-site measurement and shape documentation. We come to your Pompano Beach home and take detailed field measurements of the rough opening – not just width and height, but the exact radius of the arch, the spring point (where the curve begins), the sill condition, and the depth of the surrounding wall. For elliptical or compound curves, we use a trammel to capture the true geometry. We also note the exposure direction, since a south-facing arched window in Pompano Beach needs different glass specifications than one tucked under a covered lanai on the north side.
2. Product selection and specification. Based on your measurements, budget, and performance requirements, we present options from the brands we’re authorized to install – PGT and CGI both manufacture impact-rated custom arched units that meet Florida’s wind-load requirements for Broward County. We walk you through glass type (laminated impact, low-E coatings, obscure glass if privacy is a factor), frame color and finish, and whether the unit is fixed or operable. No upselling. No pressure. Upfront pricing before anything is ordered.
3. Permit application and approval. Custom window replacements in Pompano Beach require a permit through the City of Pompano Beach Building Division, and we handle that paperwork. Impact window installations also require product approval documentation – we maintain current NOA (Notice of Acceptance) files for every unit we install and provide them as part of the permit package. You don’t need to track down a single form.
4. Factory fabrication. Your window is built to order. Lead times for custom arched units vary by manufacturer and complexity – a standard radius-top transom typically runs 3 to 6 weeks from order to delivery; a full elliptical or compound curve may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline at the time of order, not an optimistic one that gets revised twice before delivery.
5. Installation day. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians remove the old unit, inspect the rough opening and surrounding framing for rot or moisture damage (especially relevant in Pompano Beach’s humidity), and install the new window with manufacturer-specified flashing and sealant. Impact windows carry specific installation requirements that affect the product’s impact rating – we follow them to the letter because a unit that’s improperly installed can fail its performance specs even if the glass itself is certified.
6. Inspection and sign-off. We schedule and coordinate the city inspection, and we’re on-site when the inspector comes. Once the permit is closed and you’ve seen the finished product, we do a walkthrough with you to confirm everything looks right, operates correctly, and meets your expectations. If anything is off, we fix it before we consider the job done.

Arched & Curved Windows Pricing in Pompano Beach

Arched and curved window pricing in Pompano Beach typically falls between $650 and $2,800 per unit installed, depending on size, shape complexity, glass specification, and frame material. That’s a wide range, and the right number for your home depends on details we can only get by seeing the opening in person. Here’s what drives cost:

Permit fees from the City of Pompano Beach Building Division are separate from our installation cost and vary based on the declared value of the work – we itemize them on every estimate so there’s no surprise on the invoice. We don’t charge a trip fee for homes within Broward County.

Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10% discount on any job. If you have a written estimate from another contractor, we’ll give you a free second opinion – no strings, no pressure. And if your project qualifies as a repair over $200, the standing $40 off applies automatically.

Call (904) 893-3309 to schedule a free on-site estimate. We’ll measure, assess the condition of your opening, and give you a written number the same day whenever possible.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors for Arched & Curved Windows in Pompano Beach

Arched windows require a fabricator who builds to spec and an installer who knows what to do when the field conditions don’t match the drawing – because they rarely do perfectly. Over the past 15 years, Ed Winslow has built this company around the kind of accountability that doesn’t come from a call center. When you call us, a real person answers. When the truck pulls up, a uniformed, background-checked technician gets out. When the job’s done, Ed’s word is behind it – backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, which means if it’s not right, we come back and make it right. Full stop.

We’re authorized installers for PGT and CGI, two manufacturers with the strongest presence in South Florida’s custom window market. Both carry impact ratings appropriate for Broward County’s wind-borne debris region requirements, and both offer genuine Custom Impact Windows arch fabrication – not a rectangular unit with a curved casing slapped over it. That distinction matters for code compliance and for the finished look of your home.

In Pompano Beach specifically, we see a few recurring situations with Geometric & Shaped Windows that generalist contractors often underestimate. Salt air accelerates frame corrosion on older aluminum windows, so inspecting the rough opening carefully before ordering a replacement is non-negotiable – a new unit installed into compromised framing will fail faster than it should. South and west exposures in neighborhoods like Collier City and Cresthaven get significant afternoon sun, which means low-E glass isn’t just a luxury; it’s a meaningful reduction in your cooling bill year after year. And homes near the Intracoastal or in the East Pompano Beach area face stricter wind-load requirements that affect product selection. We know these nuances because we work here, not because we’re reading about them from a generic template.

We’re a full exterior-protection company – we also handle doors, roofing, and standard window replacement – so if your arched window project is part of a larger renovation, we can coordinate the full scope without you managing multiple contractors. But arched windows alone are a complete job for us. No project is too small to get Ed’s attention.

FAQs – Arched & Curved Windows in Pompano Beach

Are arched windows required to be impact-rated in Pompano Beach?

Yes – Pompano Beach falls within Broward County’s wind-borne debris region, and any new window installation, including custom arched and curved units, must meet Florida Building Code impact requirements or be protected by an approved shutter system. Impact-rated arched windows from manufacturers like PGT and CGI carry a Notice of Acceptance (NOA) for Florida’s wind zones, and we provide that documentation as part of every permit package. A non-impact arched window in a new installation would not pass the Pompano Beach building inspection. Call (904) 893-3309 if you’re unsure what your existing unit is rated for – we can assess it during a free estimate visit.

How long does it take to get a custom arched window installed in Pompano Beach?

From the day you approve your estimate and we place the order, a standard radius-top or half-round unit typically takes 3 to 6 weeks to fabricate and deliver. More complex shapes – full ellipses, compound curves, or larger Palladian configurations – can run closer to 6 to 10 weeks. Permit processing through the City of Pompano Beach Building Division usually adds 1 to 2 weeks to the overall timeline, and we handle that in parallel with fabrication so the two don’t stack. We give you a realistic schedule at order time, not an optimistic one. Call us at (904) 893-3309 to get a timeline specific to your project.

Can a curved or arched window be replaced without replacing the surrounding frame?

Sometimes, but it depends on the existing frame’s condition. If the original frame is a custom wood or aluminum surround that’s structurally sound and square, a new glazing unit can sometimes be set into it – this is called an insert or pocket replacement. More often in Pompano Beach, we find that older arched window frames have corroded, the seal between the frame and the rough opening has failed, or the framing around them has moisture damage from years of salt air and rain exposure. In those cases, a full frame replacement is the right call, and we’ll tell you that honestly before anything is ordered.

Do arched windows cost significantly more than standard rectangular windows?

Custom arched and curved windows do cost more than standard rectangular units of similar size, primarily because they’re built to order rather than pulled from inventory, and the curved glazing requires specialized fabrication. In Pompano Beach, the installed price for a custom arched unit typically runs $650 to $2,800 depending on size and complexity, compared to $400 to $1,200 for a comparably sized standard impact window. The gap narrows for simple radius-top transoms and widens for Oversized Openings like large elliptical or compound-curve units. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free, written estimate – we price by the specific opening, not by a formula.
