Single & Double Hung Windows in Pompano Beach, FL

Single and double hung windows are the most common window style installed in Pompano Beach homes, and for good reason: they’re straightforward to operate, easy to clean, and built to handle South Florida’s wind, humidity, and salt air when you choose the right product and installer. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve been providing Window Installation and replacing hung windows across Pompano Beach since 2011 – impact-rated units that meet Broward County’s strict opening-protection requirements and hold up long after the permit is closed.

If you’re replacing old aluminum single-hungs or upgrading to impact-rated double-hung units before hurricane season, call us at (904) 893-3309 – a real person answers every call, any time of day. You can also learn more about what we do under our full Window Installation in Pompano Beach page.

Single vs. Double Hung: What’s the Actual Difference?

A single hung window has one fixed sash on top and one operable sash on the bottom. You raise the bottom panel to let air in, and that’s it. Simple, affordable, and still a solid choice for rooms where you don’t need to clean the glass from inside.

A double hung window has two operable sashes – both the top and the bottom move independently. That matters a lot in Pompano Beach for a couple of reasons. First, you can tilt both sashes inward for cleaning without ever going outside, which is a real advantage on second-floor bedrooms and anywhere you have landscaping or a screen enclosure making ladder access awkward. Second, opening the top sash while keeping the bottom closed allows hot air to escape near the ceiling, which works with your AC instead of against it in a South Florida summer.

In practice, most of our Pompano Beach customers with older CBS homes in neighborhoods like Palm Aire or Cresthaven are replacing 1970s and 1980s single-hung aluminum frames that have corroded, lost their seals, or simply don’t meet current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) requirements. Double-hung impact units from PGT or CGI are frequently the upgrade they land on, because those brands carry full NOA approval and come in sizes that match older rough openings – which keeps the project cost down by eliminating masonry modification.

When You Need Single or Double Hung Window Service

• Visible frame corrosion or seal failure: The salt air off the Atlantic accelerates aluminum oxidation, especially within a mile of the coast. If you’re seeing white chalky buildup on frames or fogged glass between panes, the unit’s insulating performance is already gone.
• Sash won’t stay up or won’t lock: A window that drops when you let go has a worn or broken balance mechanism. Beyond being annoying, it’s a code-compliance issue for egress windows in bedrooms – Pompano Beach building inspectors do flag this during re-inspections.
• Hurricane season is approaching and you have single-pane or non-impact glass: Broward County requires impact glazing or an approved shutter system for any window in the building envelope. Single-pane non-impact units leave you exposed on both the insurance side and the safety side.
• Drafts and rising electric bills: Older windows with degraded weatherstripping or aluminum frames (no thermal break) are a direct path to heat gain. In Pompano Beach, where cooling loads run nine months of the year, a poorly insulated window frame adds real dollars to your FPL bill every month.
• You’re refinancing or selling: Lenders and buyers both scrutinize window compliance. A home with non-impact windows in a coastal high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ) – which Pompano Beach is – can stall a closing or trigger an insurance surcharge that kills the deal.
• Renovation or addition work: Any permitted addition or significant alteration triggers a requirement to bring existing openings into compliance. If you’re adding a room or converting a garage in Sea Ranch Lakes or the East Pompano Beach area, new hung windows on the adjacent wall often become part of the permit package.

Our Single & Double Hung Window Process in Pompano Beach

1. On-site measurement and product consultation: We come to your Pompano Beach home, measure every opening, and document the existing frame conditions. We’re looking at masonry or frame construction, the depth of the buck, whether any openings were previously permitted, and what size units will fit without cutting or patching. We bring product specs and samples so you can see and feel the difference between a standard unit and an impact-rated one before committing.
2. Upfront written quote – no vague ranges: After the site visit you get a line-item written quote: product cost, labor, permit fee, and any ancillary work (sill repair, interior trim, etc.) broken out separately. That’s the number. If something changes during demo that we couldn’t see from the surface, we talk to you before touching anything.
3. Permit submittal to Broward County: Broward County requires a permit for window replacement when you’re changing frame type or installing impact windows in the HVHZ. We handle the submittal, coordinate with the Building Department, and carry the NOA documentation for every product we install – PGT, CGI, CWS, and our other authorized lines all come with the paperwork inspectors need.
4. Precision removal and frame prep: Old single-hung aluminum frames are often set in stucco stop that’s been painted over multiple times. We remove the old unit cleanly, inspect the rough opening for water intrusion, rot, or compromised substrate, and prep the sill and jambs before the new window goes in. In Pompano Beach’s climate, skipping this step is how water damage shows up behind new windows two years later.
5. Installation to manufacturer and code spec: The new hung window is shimmed, anchored, and sealed to the manufacturer’s installation instructions, which are also the instructions Broward County’s inspector will check against. We don’t cut corners on anchor spacing or sealant application because our 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we’re the ones coming back if something isn’t right – and that’s a real guarantee, not a talking point.
6. Inspection, cleanup, and final walkthrough: We schedule the Broward County inspection, walk you through sash operation, tilt-clean function (on double-hung units), lock engagement, and warranty documentation. Every job site is cleaned before we leave. If anything about the finished product doesn’t look right to you, we fix it before we close the job – not after a phone tag cycle.

Single & Double Hung Window Pricing in Pompano Beach

Single and double hung window replacement in Pompano Beach typically runs between $450 and $1,100 per window installed, with most whole-home projects landing in a range that reflects the number of openings, the product tier, and whether any masonry or trim work is needed. Below is a realistic breakdown of what drives cost:

A few things specific to Pompano Beach that affect where your Window Installation Near Me in Pompano Beach, FL project lands: homes east of Federal Highway have more aggressive salt-air exposure, which we factor into product recommendations (some frame finishes hold up significantly better in that environment). Homes in older subdivisions like Cresthaven often have non-standard rough opening heights from the original construction that require a custom-ordered unit, adding 3-4 weeks to lead time. And if your home was built before the mid-1990s, there’s a reasonable chance the existing windows were never permitted – we’ll flag that during the site visit so you’re not surprised at the permit counter.

Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10% discount on every job – no expiration, no conditions. And if you’ve already gotten a written estimate from another contractor, we’ll review it for free and tell you honestly whether it’s fair.

Call (904) 893-3309 to schedule your free on-site estimate. Estimates are always free, and there’s no trip charge for homes in our service area.

Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow

Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 because he saw too many homeowners in Broward County getting burned by contractors who showed up with vague quotes, disappeared after the deposit cleared, or handed off work to uncredentialed crews. Ed’s name is on the business, which means his reputation is on every window we install. That’s not a marketing line – it’s the reason we answer the phone at 2 a.m. when a storm is coming and a homeowner in Lighthouse Point realizes their windows aren’t right.

We’re authorized installers for PGT and CGI, two of the most specified impact window brands in South Florida, along with CWS and five other product lines. That authorization matters because it gives us direct access to manufacturer support, warranty processing, and technical specifications that unlicensed or unauthorized installers don’t have.

Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform. You’ll know who’s coming before the truck pulls up – not because we have to say it, but because that’s how Ed’s crew has operated since day one. And our 36500-Day Done Right Promise means that if something isn’t right, we come back and fix it. No runaround, no fine print, no “that’s a manufacturer issue.” If we installed it, we stand behind it.

You can read more about our full scope of window work on our home page, where you’ll find every service we cover across Broward and Palm Beach County.

FAQs – Single & Double Hung Windows in Pompano Beach

How much does it cost to replace single hung windows in Pompano Beach?

Impact-rated single hung window replacement in Pompano Beach typically costs between $550 and $750 per window fully installed, including labor and standard trim work. Non-impact units where permitted run somewhat less, but most Pompano Beach homes in the HVHZ require impact glazing to satisfy Broward County code and home insurance requirements. Larger openings, masonry modifications, and permit fees are line items on top of the per-window cost. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free on-site estimate – that’s the only number that’s accurate for your specific home.

Is it worth upgrading from single hung to double hung windows?

Double hung windows are worth the upgrade in most Pompano Beach homes if you have second-floor bedrooms, a screen enclosure that limits exterior access for cleaning, or rooms where better ventilation control matters-unlike Awning & Hopper Windows, which are hinged at the top or bottom for different airflow patterns. The tilt-clean feature alone saves significant effort over the life of the window. Cost difference per opening is typically $100-$200 more than a comparable single hung unit. If budget is the main constraint, single hung impact windows are a perfectly sound choice for ground-floor openings that are easy to access from outside.

Do I need a permit to replace windows in Pompano Beach?

Yes, in most cases. Broward County requires a building permit for window replacement when you’re installing impact windows, changing frame material, or altering the opening size – which covers the vast majority of replacement projects in Pompano Beach. The permit process also requires submitting the manufacturer’s NOA documentation to confirm the product meets HVHZ standards. Winslow Windows & Doors handles the full permit submittal and inspection coordination on every job, so you don’t have to navigate the Building Department yourself.

How long does single or double hung window installation take in Pompano Beach?

For a typical Pompano Beach home with six to ten windows, installation day runs four to eight hours once the product is on site and the permit is in hand. Lead time from signed contract to installation date is usually three to six weeks, depending on product availability and permit processing speed at the Broward County Building Department. Custom or non-standard sizes-such as 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows-can add two to four weeks to that window. We give you a realistic timeline upfront – not the optimistic number we think you want to hear.
