Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
Fort Lauderdale is a hard market for custom window work. Everything here sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window, including odd shapes and oversized units, has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA. Most window companies don’t want to deal with engineering a circle or a radius top that also has to pass large-missile impact testing. We do it routinely. Our Custom & Geometric Windows team has installed shaped impact units in Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, Las Olas Isles, and Tarpon River, and we’ve pulled permits in every one of those neighborhoods.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a call center. A live person. When you call about a custom arched window on a canal-front home in Fort Lauderdale, you talk to someone who knows what a mullion profile is and why your HOA cares about it.
Since 2011, Winslow has built its reputation on the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century-long standard of accountability, and it applies to every geometric window we fabricate and install in Fort Lauderdale. Every technician who shows up at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You know who’s walking up your driveway before they ring the bell.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Fort Lauderdale
Custom Impact Windows
Custom impact windows in Fort Lauderdale aren’t optional. Code requires them, and the canal-front exposure on properties in Las Olas Isles and Rio Vista makes the marine-grade aluminum spec non-negotiable. We order impact-rated frames with Miami-Dade NOAs matched to each opening’s exact design pressure, and we install them with stainless fasteners on masonry walls. No shortcuts.

Geometric & Shaped Windows
Trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, and triangular windows show up constantly in the mid-century concrete-block homes that fill Fort Lauderdale’s neighborhoods. The tricky part isn’t making the shape. It’s getting a Miami-Dade NOA for that shape at that exact dimension with the right mullion layout. We run the engineering review before we cut the order, so you don’t pay for a window that can’t be permitted.

Arched & Curved Windows
Arched and radius windows sit above entry doors and in gable ends all over Fort Lauderdale, from Coral Ridge to Victoria Park. We fabricate fixed radius units and operable arched casements, with the frame radius CNC-milled to match the rough opening. On a recent Rio Vista project, our crew ran HOA and city permitting concurrently before ordering CNC-milled impact-rated frames for a custom arched casement array. The board’s mullion profile spec would have left delivered units sitting on site for weeks if we’d sequenced it wrong. We didn’t.

Oversized Openings
Homes along the Intracoastal and in Harbor Beach routinely have window walls and fixed panes that run eight, ten, twelve feet wide. Those openings demand steel-reinforced frames, heavier glass packages, and design pressures that hold up to wind-borne debris at 140 to 170 mph wind speeds. We scope the engineering first, then quote the window. An oversized opening in Fort Lauderdale runs materially more than a standard egress window, and we’d rather tell you that before you sign than surprise you after.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
Winslow Windows & Doors installs custom and geometric windows from PGT, CGI, and ViewLux. PGT and CGI build the impact-rated structural frames that carry Miami-Dade NOAs for Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ, and ViewLux gives us the clean sightlines modern canal-front homes want. We don’t sell products outside our authorized brand lineup, and we don’t push a brand just because it’s what we have in stock. We spec the brand that actually works for your opening, your wind zone, and your HOA’s architectural standards.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Here are the real numbers for the Fort Lauderdale market, based on what we’ve quoted and installed across the city:
- Standard custom impact window: $1,200 to $2,400 per window installed
- Custom impact single-hung: $900 to $1,800 per unit (larger than standard, with custom frame sizing)
- Arched, radius, or geometric impact windows: $1,800 to $4,800 per opening, depending on radius, mullion count, and glass package
- Oversized fixed panes and window walls: $2,500 to $5,000+ per opening, engineered and installed
- Whole-home packages: $8,000 to $25,000+ for a full replacement across a Fort Lauderdale ranch or two-story
What moves the price here is the wind zone, the floor height, the frame material, and the shape. A rectangle is the cheapest thing to engineer. Every degree of curve and every mullion junction adds engineering time and machining cost. A third-floor condo on A1A with a direct ocean exposure carries a higher design pressure requirement than a single-story ranch in Edgewood. We quote from real engineering data, not a price book. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. No change orders.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s a real incentive stack for Fort Lauderdale homeowners doing impact window work. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 a year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, most homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. That inspection typically runs $75 to $150.
We don’t promise exact dollar amounts because your carrier and your inspector set the final numbers. But we’ll point you to the programs and help with the documentation after install.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Delivered but unpermittable frames. A homeowner orders a geometric window from an out-of-market supplier, the unit arrives, and it has no Miami-Dade NOA for that size or mullion pattern. The permit gets rejected and the window sits in the garage. We see this constantly in Fort Lauderdale.
- Saltwater corrosion on canal-front properties. With 165-plus miles of navigable canals, a large share of Fort Lauderdale homes sit on saltwater or brackish frontage. Standard frames pit and seize. Marine-grade aluminum and stainless fasteners aren’t an upgrade here. They’re the floor.
- Masonry anchoring failures on CBS walls. The dominant housing stock in Fort Lauderdale is 1950s to 1980s concrete block. Mounting a large custom frame with wood-buck techniques or weak anchors leads to leaks and frame pull-out under impact load. We use masonry anchors rated for large-missile impact.
- HOA variance gaps. In Rio Vista, Las Olas Isles, and Harbor Beach, HOA architectural committees control frame colors and mullion profiles separately from city permits. A contractor who doesn’t run both paths concurrently ends up with fabricated windows waiting on a dock while the board reviews. We run them in parallel from day one.
How Fort Lauderdale’s Code Changes Custom Window Work
Every replacement window in Fort Lauderdale, including custom geometric and oversized units, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone compliance. That standard is so rigorous it disqualifies most impact products sold legally just across the county line in Palm Beach. It’s not enough for a window to be impact-rated. The exact configuration, the exact size, the exact mullion pattern, and the exact glass package all have to be listed on the NOA.
Layered on top of that, Florida’s post-Surfside condo milestone-inspection law is forcing wholesale window and door replacements in the aging mid-rise condos along A1A. Fort Lauderdale is one of the most code-compressed window markets in the country. A generic shape-and-price page won’t get you through that. We will.
Thousands of Fort Lauderdale homes, especially the CBS ranches in Coral Ridge, Tarpon River, and Edgewood, still have original jalousie windows. Those louvered glass slats provide zero hurricane resistance and near-zero insulation. They’re not just outdated. They’re a liability, and they represent one of the largest non-impact replacement backlogs in South Florida. When those homeowners finally convert, they often want something shaped and sized differently than the original opening. That’s custom work, and it’s exactly what we do.

FAQs - Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale
Yes. A Miami-Dade NOA is issued for a specific product line at a specific size range with a specific mullion configuration. A trapezoid is a different product from a rectangle, even from the same manufacturer, and its NOA listing must cover the exact dimensions and glass package you’re buying. We verify the NOA before we order, not after it ships. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll pull the approval documents for your exact opening during the estimate.
Because the NOA covers the unit, but not the installation. An oversized window mounted on a 1960s CBS wall with undersized anchors or without proper flashing will fail at the rough opening, not at the glass. We inspect the masonry, the lintel, and the existing framing before we quote, and we anchor to the wall, not to the window. Call (904) 893-3309 for an exact quote on your oversized opening.
Your HOA’s architectural committee can approve or reject frame colors and mullion profiles independently of what the city of Fort Lauderdale permits. If you order a custom arched window with a white frame and your Rio Vista board requires bronze, you now own an expensive window you can’t install. We pull the HOA variance and the city permit concurrently, and we submit the exact frame finish and profile for board review before the order goes to the manufacturer.
Yes, if the block around the opening is sound and we can anchor correctly. We core into the masonry and use large-missile-rated anchors on custom frames. If spalling or cracking is present, we’ll tell you before we quote, because that block has to be repaired before the window goes in. The estimate is free either way. Call (904) 893-3309.
Yes, if you’re replacing original jalousie windows or single-pane aluminum frames. South Florida’s UV exposure and daily thermal cycling are brutal on old glazing, and Low-E impact glass cuts solar heat gain meaningfully. We can’t promise an exact utility savings number, but going from jalousie to Low-E impact is the single biggest glazing upgrade most Fort Lauderdale homes can make. The free measure includes a look at every opening in the house.
