Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his name on the door. That’s not a slogan. When a Lauderhill homeowner calls about a failed inspection or an insurance non-renewal notice, Ed’s the one who walks the job and stands behind it. We’re locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number you can look up right now.
Our Window Installation team works throughout Lauderhill regularly, from Inverrary to the neighborhoods off Oakland Park Boulevard. We know the housing stock: single-story CBS homes built between 1959 and 1975, most of them still carrying original jalousie windows that insurance adjusters have started flagging by address. That’s the call we’re getting most from Lauderhill right now, and we’ve replaced hundreds of those jalousie walls with PGT and CGI impact units that pass the first inspection. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck pulls up.
Our Window Installation Services in Lauderhill
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung impact windows are the workhorse replacement for Lauderhill’s older CBS homes. In a 1960s rancher off NW 55th Avenue, we typically remove the original jalousie frames entirely and set a full-frame double hung with a laminated glass interlayer. The product approval number gets written into your wind mitigation report. That’s the part cheap installers skip, and it’s the part your insurance company checks first.
Casement Windows
Casement windows in Lauderhill need careful hardware selection because of the humidity. We spec stainless steel hinges and multi-point locking systems that won’t bind or corrode after a few years of afternoon thunderstorms. In the HVHZ, casements also require specific design pressure ratings matched to the opening size and the home’s wind zone. We pull that math on every quote so the unit isn’t under-rated for the inspection.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal rollers are common in Lauderhill’s older duplexes and apartment conversions, especially along Sunrise Boulevard and the State Road 7 corridor. These are often the first windows to show pitted aluminum frames from years of humidity and salt air drifting inland. If the frame has hairline cracking or oxidation, a large-missile impact test will fail. We replace the entire assembly with a proper HVHZ-rated unit rather than trying to salvage frames that were never rated in the first place.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
Three-panel sliders give Lauderhill homeowners a wider opening without losing impact protection. The catch is that every panel has to carry its own product approval and interlocking design pressure rating. For a home in the Inverrary or St. George areas, we typically recommend PGT WinGuard or CGI Estate Collection sliding windows, both of which carry the large-missile ratings Broward County requires.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among others. In Lauderhill, the two brands we install most are PGT WinGuard and CGI, because both carry extensive Florida Product Approval listings for the HVHZ and both offer the large-missile impact ratings single-story CBS homes here need. Because we install these lines every week across Broward County, we keep common sizes and hardware moving through our South Florida operation quickly. Custom fabrication runs 4-6 weeks, but once your units arrive, a typical Lauderhill opening is installed in as fast as a single day.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Insurance non-renewal notices tied to jalousie windows. Lauderhill has one of the highest concentrations of unreplaced jalousie windows remaining in Broward County. Carriers are flagging them by address during policy renewals, and we’re getting calls directly from those letters, not just from storm damage.
- Full-frame replacement disguised as an insert job. An insert window fits inside an existing frame. Jalousie frames can’t accept a modern impact insert and still pass code. Some contractors sell inserts anyway, the inspection fails, and the homeowner pays twice.
- Oxidized and pitted aluminum frames failing large-missile tests. Lauderhill’s inland humidity accelerates aluminum corrosion, especially on west-facing walls that catch afternoon sun and rain. A compromised frame means the whole unit fails its impact certification even if the glass is fine.
- Missing wind mitigation documentation. We see this constantly. The windows were installed fine, but no one listed the product approval number for each opening on the wind mitigation form. The insurance premium credit gets denied, and the homeowner is stuck chasing paperwork instead of savings.
Pricing for Window Installation in Lauderhill, FL
A typical impact window installation in Lauderhill runs $800 to $1,500 per window, installed. Single-hung impact units land in the $900 to $1,800 range. Large or custom openings, like a picture window or a wide 3-panel slider, run $2,500 to $5,000 depending on size and the design pressure rating required for the opening. Whole-home packages on a 1960s CBS rancher typically fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on opening count and whether you’re replacing doors at the same time. We give you a written, line-item quote before any work starts, and we don’t change the number once you’ve signed. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free in-home measure.
What Window Installation Costs in Lauderhill
The single biggest cost driver in Lauderhill is the HVHZ rating itself. A window that’s not product-approved for high velocity hurricane zones costs less because it doesn’t carry the large-missile testing or the Florida Product Approval documentation. But that unit will fail inspection in Lauderhill, and your insurance carrier will deny the premium credit. Floor height matters too: a second-story opening in a two-story home on the north side of Lauderhill may require a higher design pressure rating than a ground-floor unit. Opening count drives the total: a 12-opening CBS home with jalousies everywhere is a bigger job than a 6-opening condo unit. Frame material adds cost as well, with thermally broken aluminum and impact-rated vinyl carrying different price points. We give you the product approval number for every opening on the quote, so you can compare bids line by line.
Florida Pays You Back
Lauderhill homeowners have several incentive programs that can offset the cost of impact windows. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and window replacement qualifies when it meets the program’s HVHZ standards. Florida also has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, which removes the state portion of sales tax on qualifying units at the point of purchase. The federal 25C energy credit gives you 30% of the product cost back, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after your wind mitigation inspection, most carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. The inspection itself usually runs $75 to $150. Every program and carrier sets its own final numbers, so we can’t guarantee what you’ll receive, but we document everything to help you claim what’s available.
One comparison worth making if you’re weighing options in Lauderhill: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but you have to hang them before every storm, store them all year, and they do nothing for energy efficiency or daily security. Impact windows are permanent protection. No panels to hang at 2 a.m. when a storm shifts toward Broward. No storage. They’re protecting the house every single day, not just when a named storm is in the Atlantic. We install impact windows. That’s it. We don’t install shutters, so our recommendation reflects what we’d put on our own homes in this wind zone.

FAQs - Window Installation in Lauderhill
Lauderhill sits entirely within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so any window replacement must meet HVHZ product approval standards. Shutters can satisfy building code in some situations, but insurance carriers in Lauderhill are increasingly requiring impact-rated windows specifically, especially on homes where original jalousies are being flagged during renewals. If you’re replacing windows, they must carry a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA with large-missile ratings. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home needs.
Most single-story CBS homes in Lauderhill require windows with a design pressure rating in the range of +/-40 to +/-60 PSF, depending on the opening size, wall location, and the home’s specific wind zone within the city. Ground-floor openings on a single-story home generally require lower design pressures than second-story or corner-wall openings. We calculate the exact rating for every opening when we quote the job, and we list that number on the written estimate so your permit and wind mitigation inspection both have what they need.
No. Jalousie frames were never designed or tested for large-missile impact resistance, and glass-only replacement would not meet any Florida Product Approval standard. An impact window is a complete assembly: frame, laminated glass, interlayer, and hardware that all carry product approval numbers together. The frame has to go. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free measure and we’ll show you what a full-frame swap looks like on your specific home.
Your carrier needs the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA number for every opening, the design pressure rating matched to each window, and a completed wind mitigation inspection form that verifies the installation. We provide all of that in a closing packet when the job is done, including the product approval documentation for the specific units installed. If your carrier requires a wind mitigation inspection from a licensed inspector, that’s a separate step, usually $75 to $150 in the Lauderhill area, and our documentation plugs straight into that form.
For a typical 8 to 12 opening CBS home in Lauderhill, the on-site installation takes one to two days once your custom units arrive. Fabrication of HVHZ-rated impact windows runs 4-6 weeks from order date. We keep you updated on the manufacturing timeline and schedule the install as soon as the units hit our South Florida facility. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific opening count.
