We’re Winslow Windows & Doors. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door, and on every job we do. If you’re in Sunrise Lakes, Welleby, or anywhere along Oakland Park Boulevard, our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors team knows exactly what your building needs to pass Broward County’s HVHZ inspection. Not because we read about it somewhere. Because we do it here every week.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Company
Sunrise sits entirely inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means every sliding glass door we install carries Miami-Dade NOA documentation and design pressures matched to your specific opening. A national chain might treat that as an upsell. For us, it’s the baseline. We’ve been doing HVHZ-compliant work in Sunrise long enough to know which product lines clear the building department without a hiccup and which ones sit in permit limbo for weeks.
Our reputation in Sunrise comes from showing up when we say we will and answering the phone when you call. Not a call center. A live person, 24 hours a day. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. We also back every installation with 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’s the same promise we’ve stood behind since 2011.
Senior and veteran homeowners in Sunrise get a permanent 10% discount, and any repair over $200 takes $40 off. Those aren’t promotions. They’re standing offers.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Services in Sunrise
HVHZ-Rated Impact Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Every sliding glass door we install in Sunrise meets the Florida Building Code Chapter 16 wind-load and impact-glazing requirements specific to Broward County’s HVHZ. That includes mandatory Miami-Dade NOA documentation filed with your permit. We handle the paper trail from start to finish, so the building department sees exactly what it needs on the first submittal. No red tags, no stalled permits, no gaping opening where your old door used to be.
Condo HOA-Approved Patio Door Upgrades
Sunrise Lakes and similar multi-phase condo communities enforce uniform exterior appearance rules. When one unit on a facade replaces sliding doors, the association typically pressures neighboring units to match the product line and color, often within a set timeline. We bring HOA-ready product submittals on the first visit, including color samples, frame profiles, and glass package specs, so the board has everything it needs to approve without back-and-forth. In Phase III of Sunrise Lakes, we recently replaced three seized single-pane aluminum sliders with PGT impact-rated units, coordinating every detail with the association’s uniform appearance rule and working around their 10-day review window.
Low-E Insulated Glass Unit Retrofits
Older Sunrise homes, particularly the concrete-block ranch houses built between the late 1960s and early 1990s, often have aluminum frames that are still structurally sound but hold single-pane glass that bleeds energy. In those cases, a Low-E insulated glass unit retrofit gets you real efficiency without the cost of a full frame replacement. You keep the existing opening, we upgrade the glass, and your cooling bill drops. We install ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass insulated units regularly across Sunrise, including in Welleby and the neighborhoods north of Sunrise Boulevard.
Sliding Door Hardware and Track Repair
South Florida humidity and salt air corrode original aluminum jambs and roller tracks, especially on 1970s-era sliders in Sunrise Lakes. We see doors seized so badly they have to be cut out, a delay no one warns you about until the door won’t budge. If your slider drags, sticks, or won’t lock, call us before it becomes a cut-out job. Hardware repair and track replacement are often same-visit fixes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For Sunrise homeowners, that means we can match existing product lines in condo communities where the HOA requires uniformity, and we can source the right NOA paperwork for any configuration.

Common Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Seized or corroded aluminum tracks. Decades of humidity and salt air in Sunrise cause original 1970s aluminum sliders to corrode, warp, and eventually seize. Once a door won’t move, cutting it out becomes the only option, which adds labor and time.
- Non-HVHZ doors that fail the Broward County large-missile impact test. Older single-pane sliders, especially in Sunrise Lakes and other condo communities, were never built to meet current code. They fail inspection and get red-tagged, leaving the unit unsecured.
- Missing Miami-Dade NOA documentation. Even a quality impact door stalls at Sunrise’s building department without the right NOA paperwork. The permit sits, the opening stays exposed, and the homeowner is stuck waiting.
- HOA color-match conflicts. Condo associations in Sunrise enforce exterior uniformity. If your new slider doesn’t match the building’s approved color and frame profile exactly, the board won’t sign off, and the job can’t proceed.
Pricing for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Sunrise, FL
Impact-rated sliding glass doors in Sunrise typically run $800 to $1,500 per door installed, with impact single-hung units at $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a six-foot patio slider with a transom, land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages across multiple openings generally fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on opening count, wind zone, floor height, and frame material.
What moves the price in Sunrise specifically: your building’s exact HVHZ design pressure requirement, whether the opening needs custom fabrication, whether your condo association requires a specific product line, and whether the old door has to be cut out due to corrosion. The best way to get a real number is a free in-home measure. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll send someone to measure, spec the door, and hand you a written quote before any work starts.
What Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Sunrise
Here are honest anchors for the Sunrise market: impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, impact single-hung units $900 to $1,800, large or custom openings $2,500 to $5,000, and whole-home packages $8,000 to $25,000 or more. In Sunrise, two things push the number higher than a county just north of the line: the HVHZ documentation burden and the condo approval process. Both are real, and both are navigable when your contractor files the correct Miami-Dade NOA paperwork up front and brings HOA-ready submittals to the first visit. We do both, and we’ll give you a written quote before you commit. The free in-home measure is exactly that, free, with no trip charge inside our home county.
Compare that to hurricane shutters, and the difference is lifestyle. Shutters protect during storms but you’re still hauling panels out of the garage every June and hoping the tracks haven’t rusted. Impact-rated sliding doors protect permanently, no panels to hang, no future labor, and they work every single day as energy-efficient exterior doors. One installation, one inspection, done for the life of the home. That’s the trade most Sunrise homeowners make once they see both numbers side by side. We don’t install shutters, but we’re happy to explain why permanent impact protection is the better long-term spend for a Sunrise property.
Florida Pays You Back
Sunrise homeowners have real incentives available, and they stack. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are a primary eligible improvement. Florida also exempts impact-rated windows and doors from sales tax, which on a $10,000 job saves you roughly $600 to $700 at the register. The federal 25C energy credit adds up to $600 per year on qualifying, efficient units, and a wind-mitigation inspection, typically $75 to $150, often unlocks windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. No guarantees, your carrier and the programs decide the final numbers, but these are real dollars many Sunrise homeowners leave on the table.
One more note on ratings: every unit we install in Sunrise is matched to the exact design pressure of your opening, always between +/-100 PSF, with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation for each configuration. If a salesperson quotes you a design pressure over +/-100, they’re mixing up numbers. Wind speeds of 140 to 170 mph describe the storm, not the pressure rating on the door.

FAQs - Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Sunrise
Sunrise is entirely inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every exterior door must meet Florida Building Code Chapter 16’s strictest wind-load and impact-glazing standards, including Miami-Dade NOA documentation at permit. The NOA proves the exact door configuration passed large-missile impact and cyclic pressure testing. Without it, your permit stalls and the opening stays exposed. We file the NOA with your permit as standard practice. Call (904) 747-8989 if you’re unsure whether your current door is compliant.
Yes, and they routinely do. Sunrise Lakes and most multi-phase condo communities in Sunrise enforce uniform exterior appearance rules, which typically require matching product lines, frame colors, and glass tints across contiguous units. When one unit replaces sliders, the association often pressures neighbors to match within a timeline. We bring HOA-ready submittals on the first visit, including color samples and frame profiles, so the board can approve without dragging the process out. The ask is free, call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll spec your door to the association’s rules.
Most Sunrise condo associations take 7 to 14 days to review an exterior door submittal, and some take longer if the package is incomplete. The mistake that adds the most time is submitting without the right product specs or color documentation. We front-load the packet so the board sees everything it needs on day one, then we schedule the install around the review window so the job isn’t left half-finished. Typically, that keeps the total timeline to about three to five weeks including custom fabrication.
Yes, most Florida carriers offer windstorm premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection confirms HVHZ-rated openings, and homeowners often see around 25% off the windstorm portion of the premium. The inspection itself usually runs $75 to $150. The exact credit depends on your carrier, your policy, and the inspection findings, so we can’t guarantee a number, but the investment in impact-rated doors typically pays back in premium savings and property value over time. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free quote on HVHZ-compliant sliding doors.
Corroded and seized aluminum tracks are the most common failure in Sunrise’s 1970s-era concrete-block homes, especially in Sunrise Lakes and similar communities. The original aluminum jambs and rollers corrode from decades of humidity and salt air, and once the door seizes, it often has to be cut out, which adds labor and cost. If your slider drags or sticks, get it looked at before it becomes a cut-out job. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll send a technician to assess the track and hardware.
Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do. If you’re in Sunrise and need sliding glass or patio doors replaced, upgraded, or repaired, call (904) 747-8989 for a free estimate. We’ll answer, we’ll come measure, and we’ll hand you a written quote with no surprises. The one down the road.
