AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Pompano Beach
Window Replacement - Pompano Beach is not a generic Florida job. It is an HVHZ job, and that single legal distinction changes the product, the fastener, the flashing, and the inspection. A typical single impact window installed here runs $900-$1,800, while whole-home jalousie-to-impact conversions on the city’s 1950s-1970s CBS stock commonly land between $12,000 and $22,000. If you are searching for a crew that understands Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements before the first louver comes out, call Winslow Windows & Doors at (904) 747-8989. Ed Winslow has been doing Florida exterior work since 2011, and his name is on every job we set in Pompano Beach.
Key Takeaways
- Every replacement window in Pompano Beach must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ-specific Florida Product Approval. No exceptions.
- Most Pompano Beach homes built between 1955 and 1978 have non-standard rough openings. Direct swap-outs are rare.
- Salt air within half a mile of the Atlantic corrodes standard hardware in about five years. We specify stainless and marine-grade.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Pompano Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We work in Pompano Beach constantly, from the grid streets west of Federal Highway to Cresthaven, Garden Isles, and the canal-lined pockets near the Intracoastal. That repetition matters because Pompano Beach is one of only two counties in the United States, alongside Miami-Dade, where every replacement window and Door Installation - Pompano Beach must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ-specific Florida Product Approval. A product approved for Orlando or Tampa is legally disqualified here. Most national retailers do not stock HVHZ-compliant units, which is why a big-box install in Pompano Beach often stalls at the permit counter.
Calls to Winslow are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No call center, no next-business-day callback. When a Pompano Beach homeowner calls at 2 a.m. because a jalousie louver finally gave out in a storm, Ed or a member of his team picks up. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know exactly who is at your door before the truck parks. Our published address and license number are on every estimate. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs every window we set, which means if it is not done right, we make it right. That is not a warranty card in a drawer. That is Ed’s word.
Our Impact Windows Services in Pompano Beach
HVHZ-Compliant Impact Window Replacement
Pompano Beach sits squarely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means the window you install must be tested and approved for this wind zone, not just for Florida generally. We specify units with design pressures matched to the actual opening, never a PSF rating above +/-100, and every configuration carries its own Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number. That approval number goes on the permit package your Broward County inspector checks before sign-off. Most impact products sold elsewhere in Florida never get that number because they were never submitted for HVHZ testing.
Jalousie Removal and Masonry Re-Flashing
The original jalousie windows in Pompano Beach’s 1960s CBS homes were frequently set directly into the concrete block without a wood buck. That means removal is not a simple swap. The louvered frame comes out, and what is left is a raw masonry opening that has never been flashed. We core-drill new anchor points into the block, re-flash the rough opening from scratch, and only then set the new HVHZ-rated unit. Skip that step and the Broward County impact product inspection fails. We have seen it happen to other crews.
Custom Frame Sizing for Non-Standard Openings
The jalousie openings on a 1962 Cresthaven ranch are rarely the 36-by-48 or 48-by-60 rough openings that modern impact windows assume. Many are wider and shorter, or set at odd heights above the slab. We measure each opening individually and order frames sized to the masonry, not the other way around. That avoids the two-week delay and extra masonry cost of resizing every rough opening on a whole-home job. It also keeps the permit drawings clean, which keeps the inspection moving.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors and Patio Doors
The same HVHZ rules apply to Sliding Glass & Patio Doors - Pompano Beach facing a canal or the Atlantic. A door carries a design pressure rating just like a window, and the threshold flashing on a slab-on-grade CBS home is the most common leak point we find. We set impact-rated sliders from PGT and CGI with stainless hardware and full perimeter barrier caulking, then pull the Broward County permit and stand behind the inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pompano Beach
Winslow is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among others. That authorization matters in Pompano Beach because these manufacturers produce units with Miami-Dade NOAs for HVHZ configurations, which is the legal bar here. Our Impact Windows team orders directly from the manufacturer with the approval numbers printed on the glass, so the inspector sees the right documentation the first time. For Pompano Beach customers, we keep the long-lead items moving and schedule installation as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication typically runs four to six weeks.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Pompano Beach Homes
- Original jalousies set without a buck. In Cresthaven and the older streets west of Federal Highway, the louvered frames were mortared straight into the block. Water has been getting behind them for sixty years. Removal requires masonry re-flashing, not a caulk-and-go swap.
- Non-stainless fasteners rusting inside the block. Within half a mile of the Atlantic, standard zinc anchors corrode in about five years. Once the anchor loosens, the sash loses its design-pressure rating even though the glass looks fine.
- Salt pitting on untreated aluminum frames. Original aluminum jalousie frames pit and warp from Pompano Beach’s salt air, which rattles the louvered glass loose long before hurricane season starts.
- Skipped barrier caulking on HVHZ installs. An impact window can carry a valid NOA and still fail in five years if the installer skipped perimeter barrier caulking. Salt-laden moisture wicks into the frame-to-masonry gap and rusts the jamb from the inside out.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Pompano Beach, FL
In Pompano Beach, a single HVHZ-compliant impact window installed runs $900-$1,800 depending on opening size and frame material. Large or custom openings go $2,500-$5,000. A whole-home jalousie-to-impact conversion on a typical 1,500-square-foot CBS ranch lands between $12,000 and $22,000, with larger custom packages above $25,000. What moves the number: how many openings, whether we are drilling new anchors into block or working with a wood buck, floor height, and which NOA the configuration carries. We do free in-home measures and written line-item quotes. No change orders after the quote unless you change the scope.
What Impact Windows Costs in Pompano Beach
Impact windows generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed in Florida, but Pompano Beach sits at the upper end of that band because HVHZ-rated units cost more than standard impact glass. Impact single-hung units run $900-$1,800 here. Large or custom openings like picture windows or sliding doors go $2,500-$5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 for a small CBS home and climb past $25,000 for larger custom work. The coastal-spec version of any job costs more because we specify stainless hardware, marine-grade seals, and full perimeter barrier caulking. The inland-spec version with zinc fasteners and standard caulk looks cheaper on paper and fails inside a decade near the salt air. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free in-home measure and a written quote that breaks down every line item.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack, so most Pompano Beach homeowners recover a meaningful chunk of the cost. My Safe Florida Home matching grants offer up to $10,000 for qualifying wind mitigation upgrades, and impact windows are a primary eligible item. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. And after a wind mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75-$150, many Pompano Beach homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by around 25% on the windstorm portion. Your carrier sets the final number, so we never promise a specific dollar figure. We will provide the documentation your insurer and the grant program require.
One comparison worth making when you price this job: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters protect glass only when someone remembers to hang them before the storm, and they do nothing for daily security or energy loss. Impact windows are permanent protection, no panels in the garage, no ladders in the wind, and they work every day of the year. Winslow does not sell or install shutters, so this is not a sales pitch for a competing product. It is a real difference in how the two systems behave during the twenty-three hours of a hurricane when you are not outside clipping panels.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Pompano Beach
Because Pompano Beach sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, one of only two HVHZ-designated counties in the U.S. Every replacement window here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ-specific Florida Product Approval. Palm Beach County is not an HVHZ and accepts standard Florida product approvals, so a window legal in Boca Raton is often illegal one mile south in Pompano Beach. Call (904) 747-8989 and we will check the NOA on the units you are considering before you spend a dollar.
In a 1963 Cresthaven ranch we worked on, the original jalousie frames were set directly into the block with no buck. We pulled the louvered frames, core-drilled fresh anchors into the masonry, re-flashed every rough opening, and set PGT WinGuard casements with stainless hardware. The Broward County impact inspection passed without a single callback. That is the standard process because Pompano Beach’s original jalousies were rarely bucked, so every opening needs flashing work before the new unit can be set legally.
No. Aluminum frames within half a mile of the Atlantic in Pompano Beach pit and warp from salt air even when they look acceptable from ten feet away. The corrosion is inside the channel where the weatherstripping seats, and that is exactly where the HVHZ design pressure depends on a tight seal. Reusing the frame also voids the new glass’s product approval because the assembly, not just the glass, carries the NOA. Call (904) 747-8989 for an honest read on your frames before you pay anyone to save them.
A large-missile rating means the glass stopped a nine-pound two-by-four fired at 34 mph without penetration. A design-pressure rating, measured in PSF, means the entire window assembly survived positive and negative wind pressures up to the tested number, and that number never exceeds +/-100 for any configuration we set. Pompano Beach’s HVHZ rules require both; a glass-only impact rating is not a legal window here. We match the design pressure to each opening on the permit drawings.
The gap is usually in the flashing and hardware spec, not the window. A cheap quote uses zinc fasteners, skips perimeter barrier caulking, and may not include the masonry re-flashing that jalousie removal requires. That job fails the Broward County inspection or corrodes within a decade. Our quotes include stainless hardware, marine-grade flashing, full barrier caulking, and the permit work. Call (904) 747-8989 for a written line-item quote that shows exactly what you are buying.
