Why Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow put his name on this business in 2011, and that name travels with every crew that works in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Homeowners in the Bel-Air and Terra Mar neighborhoods tell us the same thing: they wanted a contractor who would show up when promised, write a line-item quote they didn’t need a lawyer to read, and stand behind the work without a fight. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise says it plainly: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No fine print, no warranty runaround.
Every technician who knocks on a door in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s at your property before the truck rolls up. We install impact windows and doors from PGT and CGI, authorized installer status on both lines, and every product we quote on a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea opening carries Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approval. That’s not an upgrade around here. It’s the floor.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Impact Windows
The flagship line for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, where every window and door opening must be impact-rated and HVHZ-compliant. We quote laminated impact glass in design pressures matched to each opening, never exceeding +/-100 PSF, with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval on every configuration. Learn more about Impact Windows in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Window Installation
Original rough openings in older Lauderdale-by-the-Sea condos and cottages rarely match standard modern window dimensions, so we custom-order and install rather than forcing a too-small unit into a too-large hole. Every install is plumb, flashed, and sealed with marine-grade materials that hold up to constant salt exposure. Learn more about Window Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Window Replacement
When we replace jalousie units or aluminum single-pane sliders in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, we start by measuring the true rough opening, not the old frame. That’s the only honest way to replace a window here, because the 1960s-era builds along Commercial Boulevard were framed to dimensions no modern manufacturer stocks. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Door Installation
An entry door in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea does double duty: it’s your front door and your hurricane barrier. We install impact-rated entry doors from Therma-Tru, properly anchored and sealed so the salt air doesn’t eat the hardware in two years, which it absolutely will without marine-grade stainless.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Beach condos in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea lean heavily on sliders for balcony and terrace access, and those sliders are often the largest unprotected opening in the unit. We replace them with impact-rated, energy-efficient sliders that glide without a struggle and meet HVHZ code.
Energy-Efficient Windows
The same windows that stop hurricane debris also cut cooling costs. Homeowners in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea report lower electric bills after switching from old single-pane jalousies to impact-rated insulated units, because the glass does more than protect, it insulates.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening on many Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homes, and a non-impact door is a liability in a named storm. We install reinforced impact garage doors that hold together when the wind pressure spikes.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Older beach cottages in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sometimes have arched, eyebrow, or unusual window shapes that no off-the-shelf unit will fit. We order custom-fabricated impact glass to the exact rough opening, keeping the charm of the original architecture while meeting code.
Roof Repair
Salt air and tropical weather take a toll on the other side of the building, too. Ed Winslow’s roofing crews handle everything from small leak patches to ridge cap and flashing repairs on Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homes.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea roof reaches the end of its life, we replace it with systems that handle direct Atlantic wind loads and salt spray. We pull permits, pass inspections, and stand behind the job.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Whichever material fits your Lauderdale-by-the-Sea building’s design and your HOA’s rules, we install it. From tile on mid-century condos to metal on modern beach homes, the crew knows the local expectations.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Winslow Windows & Doors crews regularly work the condo corridors along A1A, the low-rise complexes near Commercial Boulevard and El Mar Drive, the cottage blocks toward the Intracoastal side of the town, and the residential streets near Sea Ranch Lakes. We schedule estimates across the entire municipality, typically with someone on-site within 24 to 48 hours of your call.

Why Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sits entirely inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every single property in the town is within a few blocks of the Atlantic, and every window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approval, the most stringent product standard in the country. There’s no debate here about impact glass versus accordion shutters: every opening must be impact-rated. That’s the code, the insurance carrier’s expectation, and the only sensible choice for a home directly exposed to the ocean.
But there’s a second local factor that matters just as much as the hurricane code, and it’s the salt. With no inland buffer whatsoever, the sea breeze off the Atlantic degrades weatherstripping, corrodes hardware, and oxidizes aluminum frames in two to three years, not the five to seven years you’d expect just a mile or two inland in Fort Lauderdale. Marine-grade hardware and impact-rated vinyl or fiberglass frames are functionally required here. That’s not an upsell. It’s the difference between hardware that works in five years and hardware that you can’t turn. A large share of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s building stock dates to the 1950s through 1970s, and many of those original jalousie windows and non-impact aluminum sliders predate Florida’s modern hurricane codes entirely. Condo associations, which are pervasive in this town, add a mandatory approval layer on top of the municipal permit. We work with Lauderdale-by-the-Sea boards regularly and can walk you through what they’ll need.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Windows and doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea run higher than they would in inland Broward because impact rating is non-negotiable and custom fabrication is common. Older condos with jalousie units typically need custom-ordered replacements, which adds lead time and cost. Here’s what we generally see:
- Impact window replacement (per opening): $1,800 to $4,200, depending on size and design pressure rating
- Standard impact sliding glass door: $3,500 to $7,000 installed
- Impact entry door: $2,400 to $5,500 installed
- Impact garage door: $1,800 to $4,500 installed
- Jalousie-to-impact conversion: add $800 to $2,000 per opening for custom sizing and reframing
These are honest starting ranges for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, not a bait-and-switch. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll send someone out to measure and give you a line-item written quote before any work starts. Estimates are free, and we’ll match any written estimate from a licensed Broward competitor when the product and scope are apples to apples.
Florida Pays Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homeowners Back
If you live in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and you’re replacing windows or doors, there’s a good chance someone else is helping with the bill. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are squarely within scope. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is real money on a multi-thousand-dollar job. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the wind portion of their policy. Every carrier sets its own numbers, so we won’t promise a specific dollar figure. We’ll tell you what qualifies and let you run the final numbers with your agent.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Expect to pay between $1,800 and $4,200 per impact window, installed, depending on the size of the opening, the design pressure rating required, and whether you’re converting from an older jalousie or single-pane frame. Custom-ordered units for older Lauderdale-by-the-Sea condos run higher because the original rough openings rarely match standard modern dimensions. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free, line-item quote specific to your building.
If you’re replacing windows or doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, you need impact-rated products. The entire town sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and code enforcement and insurance carriers both require it. Impact windows are permanent protection: no panels to lug out of a closet, no hardware to align in the dark while a storm approaches. You close the window and the protection is already there. That’s a meaningful difference for condo owners and seniors who’d rather not wrestle accordion panels at 2 a.m.
No. We write line-item quotes before any work begins, and we don’t issue change orders unless you ask us to change the scope. If the crew finds rot or framing problems behind an old window, we stop, show you what we found, and give you a price to fix it before proceeding. You’ll never get a surprise invoice from Winslow Windows & Doors. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule your free estimate.
Yes. We pull every municipal permit required for window and door replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and we schedule and pass every inspection. For condos, we also coordinate with your association’s architectural review board, because every condo building in this town requires approval before work begins. We’ve been through those meetings many times and know what they need.
Installation moves as fast as a single day once your custom units arrive at our shop. The lead time before install is the bigger variable: custom fabrication for old Lauderdale-by-the-Sea rough openings, especially jalousie conversions, typically runs four to six weeks. Standard-size impact windows can arrive sooner. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in writing when we quote the job, and we’ll call you the day before install to confirm.

What Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Customers Say
"Our insurance agent asked for the wind mitigation paperwork and Ed had the whole file ready the day the job closed, every opening photographed. The premium conversation went very differently this year."
- Odessa Fairbanks"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
- Henrietta Pemberton"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
