AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Sunrise
Impact window replacement in Sunrise typically runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with whole-home condo packages landing between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on opening count and floor height. Every permitted job in Sunrise requires Miami-Dade NOA documentation because the city sits fully inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That stricter standard trips up plenty of contractors who work mostly north of the county line. We handle it every week, and we’re the ones Sunrise Lakes HOAs call when a building wing needs matching replacements. Ed Winslow’s name is on the truck, and our crew knows the difference between Phase II and Phase III up off NW 35th Place. If you’re ready to price out replacement windows, call us at (904) 747-8989 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
Winslow Windows & Doors has been locally owned and operated since 2011, and Ed Winslow runs the business with a published address, a published license number, and a promise that his name means accountability. In Sunrise, that matters more than in most places. So much of the work here involves aging condo stock where HOA boards scrutinize every submittal. We bring Miami-Dade NOA product documentation to the first visit, not the third. HOA property managers in Sunrise Lakes have our number saved because they know one call gets a live person, 24 hours a day, not a voicemail loop.
Our Sunrise customers repeatedly mention two things: the upfront line-item pricing and the fact that our technicians arrive background-checked and in uniform. We’ve worked buildings off Nob Hill Road, along Sunset Strip, and throughout the Sunrise Lakes phases. We don’t subcontract the work out to a faceless crew. Every Impact Windows project gets our own installers, and Ed personally reviews every permit package before it goes to the city. When a Sunrise condo association sends a letter demanding matched window frames, we’re usually the company that resolves it within the same month.
Our Impact Windows Services in Sunrise
Most Sunrise work falls into three categories: full impact Window Replacement - Sunrise, insulated glass unit replacements, and HOA-mandated matching. Here’s what that looks like on the ground.
Impact-Rated Glazing for Patio Sliders
Sunrise condos built in the 1970s and 1980s are loaded with original aluminum Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Sunrise that were never rated for a hurricane. The frames corrode from decades of salt-laden humidity, the rollers seize, and the single-pane glass provides zero impact resistance. We replace these with HVHZ-rated impact sliders from PGT or CGI, sized to the existing rough opening so the HOA’s exterior appearance rules stay intact. Every unit gets its Miami-Dade NOA number documented on the permit application, which is non-negotiable in Sunrise.
HOA-Compliant Matching Replacements
Sunrise Lakes deserves its own mention here. When one unit on a facade gets new windows, the association typically wants the neighboring units to match product line, frame color, and even glass tint. We understand that dynamic because we’ve done cluster replacements across multiple buildings in the Sunrise Lakes phases. We bring HOA-ready product submittals on the first visit so the board can approve without sending the package back for revisions. That one step saves Sunrise condo owners three to four weeks on average.
Low-E Insulated Glass Unit Replacements
Not every Sunrise window needs a full frame teardown. If your frames are square and sound but the glass is fogged, failed, or simply single-pane, we can replace just the glass unit with a Low-E insulated package that meets current energy standards. This is common in Sunrise Lakes buildings where the HOA allows glass-only work but restricts frame swaps. We spec the Low-E coating for South Florida solar gain, which means a cooler unit without changing the look of the window from the outside.
Jalousie to Impact Casement Conversions
Older Sunrise condos, particularly in the earliest Sunrise Lakes phases, still have jalousie windows with cranks that have seized in the salt air. These windows leak air, rattle in storms, and will never pass a wind-mitigation inspection. We convert them to impact-rated casements, rebuilding the rough opening as needed. The trick is getting the new sash to seat square without bending the jamb, which happens when crews force the old jalousie hardware out. Our installers have done enough of these in Sunrise to know exactly how the original aluminum frames were set.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which means we can offer the full manufacturer warranty without the runaround you get from a middleman. Most Sunrise condo conversions we do are PGT or CGI units because those product lines have the deepest bench of Miami-Dade NOA approvals across oddball opening sizes. We keep a working stock of common replacement parts for Sunrise jobs, so when a patio slider roller fails or a locking mechanism goes bad, we’re not waiting on a slow freight shipment. The Sunrise market leans heavily on PGT’s WinGuard and CGI’s Sentinel lines, and we’ve installed enough of both to know their quirks.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Seized jalousies in the Sunrise Lakes phases. The salt air and humidity seize the old crank mechanisms, and homeowners who force them often bend the jamb so a new impact sash won’t seat square. We see this on at least half the older condos we quote.
- Non-NOA product from failed permits. Sunrise requires Miami-Dade NOA documentation on every permitted window replacement. Crews that show up with non-listed product get a hard stop at permit review, and the HOA fines follow. We verify NOA numbers before we order.
- HOA color mismatch on multi-story facades. A unit owner replaces windows in a shade the board never approved, and the association demands a match. We bring the approved color swatch submittals to the first visit so this never happens mid-project.
- Failed seals on original single-pane sliders. The original aluminum sliding windows in Sunrise’s 1970s-era buildings lose their seal integrity after 30-40 years of thermal cycling. Fogged glass and visible condensation between panes mean the insulated unit has failed and needs replacement.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Sunrise, FL
In Sunrise, a standard impact window runs $800 to $1,500 per opening installed, with single-hung units falling in the $900 to $1,800 range and large or custom openings like big sliders landing between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages on a 55+ condo unit typically come in at $8,000 to $25,000 depending on how many openings, what floor you’re on, and whether the HOA requires a specific brand and color. Floor height moves the price because upper-floor installs need lifts or scaffolding on multi-story Sunrise buildings. Frame material moves it too: vinyl is the most affordable, aluminum is a middle step, and high-end custom lines push toward the top of the range. We give you a written line-item quote after a free in-home measure, and that number doesn’t change once the job starts. Call (904) 747-8989 to set up a free estimate.
What Impact Windows Costs in Sunrise
Let’s break the numbers down more directly, because “it depends” is not an answer. A typical three-bedroom Sunrise Lakes condo with four to six openings will run $8,000 to $12,000 for full impact window replacement. A two-bedroom first-floor unit with maybe three windows and a patio slider comes in lower. A 1970s ranch-style home over near Nob Hill Road with ten to fourteen openings lands between $12,000 and $25,000. Custom geometric or oversized windows, like the big picture windows in some of the larger Sunrise homes, hit $2,500 to $5,000 per opening. The big levers in Sunrise are opening count, floor height, the HOA’s required product line, and whether the city inspector flags any existing framing that needs correction. We measure everything, photograph the existing openings, and give you a written quote that covers labor, materials, NOA documentation, and permit fees. No change orders afterward. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule your free measure.
Florida Pays You Back
Sunrise homeowners can stack a few programs that cut the real cost of impact windows. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades after a free home inspection. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and Door Installation in Sunrise from sales tax, which on a $15,000 project saves you around $900 right off the invoice. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) typically unlocks windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy, which in Broward County is the expensive part. Programs change, and your carrier sets the final numbers, but the stack is real. We’ll walk you through which credits apply to your Sunrise project when we quote.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters require someone to be home to hang panels before a storm, and the panels eat up storage and rust over time in South Florida humidity. Impact windows are permanent protection, always in place, no panels to drag out. We only install impact glazing, not shutters, so our recommendation is straightforward: if you’re going to protect a Sunrise unit once, protect it permanently.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Sunrise
Yes, absolutely. Sunrise sits entirely within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every permitted window or door replacement, including second-story condo units, must carry Miami-Dade NOA documentation on the permit application. There is no height exemption inside the HVHZ. The city and the county enforce this strictly. If a contractor tells you otherwise, they’re about to get your permit rejected and your HOA fined. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll verify your exact product has the required NOA before you commit.
Yes, as long as the profile, frame color, and glass tint match the HOA’s approved exterior appearance standard. The association cares about visual uniformity across the facade, not necessarily the brand name inside the frame. ECO Window Systems makes clean-lined impact units that often align well with existing Sunrise Lakes profiles, though in most cases PGT is the more common match we submit. We bring the color swatches and product submittals to the first visit so your HOA can approve without sending the package back. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll help you navigate it.
Yes, usually by a noticeable amount. The original single-pane aluminum windows in 1970s Sunrise condos have almost no thermal break and leak conditioned air around deteriorated seals. A PGT impact unit with Low-E insulated glass cuts the solar heat gain through the glass and seals the opening tightly. Most Sunrise owners we replace for report a 10 to 20 percent drop in their summer cooling load, which in Broward County is the largest part of the electric bill. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free in-home assessment and we’ll review your current units.
Yes, and this is one of the most common conversions we do in Sunrise Lakes. The old jalousie frames come out, the rough opening gets rebuilt square, and a Miami-Dade NOA impact casement goes in. The key is not forcing the old hardware, which bends the jamb and means the new sash won’t seat properly. Our crew has done this specific conversion throughout the Sunrise Lakes phases and knows the original framing details. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free quote on your specific unit.
In Sunrise, the requirement depends on the elevation of the opening. Ground-level and lower-floor units in the HVHZ can often pass with the small-missile rating, but units above 30 feet generally require large-missile-rated products because wind speeds and debris impact are higher at elevation. This is a code provision, not a product preference, and your permit will specify which rating each opening needs. We assess every opening at the free measure and tell you exactly what the city will require before you spend a dollar. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule that.
In the Sunrise Lakes Phase III community off NW 35th Place, our crew replaced a corroded, non-code-compliant single-pane aluminum sliding window with a PGT impact-rated casement unit. We coordinated the Miami-Dade NOA submittal and the HOA’s uniform exterior color on the first visit. Three weeks later we were back to replace the four matching windows in the adjoining units after the association sent letters to those owners. That’s the Sunrise pattern in a sentence: one window becomes five, because the HOA wants the facade uniform and we already have the approved submittal on file.
