AfterTrusted Window Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Window installation in Fort Lauderdale means choosing glass that holds up to hurricane season, salt air, and relentless humidity without fogging, leaking, or failing within a decade. A proper install from a team that has served this area since 2011 typically runs $450-$1,400 per opening for standard replacement windows, with impact-rated options starting around $900 per opening. We answer the phone 24/7 at (904) 747-8989, so you can talk to a real person in Fort Lauderdale, not a call center. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and that matters when the next storm rolls through.

- Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and we provide upfront pricing with no trip charge inside our home county.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are the workhorses of most Fort Lauderdale homes, with sashes that slide vertically and fit the traditional look of neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Rio Vista. We measure each opening down to the sixteenth of an inch and account for the slight settling common in older block-construction houses near the Intracoastal. Every install includes new flashing, insulation, and trim work that keeps water out during the summer downpours we get almost every afternoon from June through September.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows slide side to side and are common in mid-century homes and condos along Galt Ocean Mile and Coral Ridge. The tracks on these windows corrode faster in Fort Lauderdale’s salt air, so we replace them with corrosion-resistant hardware and check the drainage channels before the glass ever goes in. Winslow Windows & Doors handles the full removal, disposal, and re-fit so the new window operates smoothly from day one.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows open up two-thirds of the opening and are a favorite in waterfront homes where the view matters as much as the ventilation. We install these in living rooms and sunrooms across Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach, aligning all three panels so they glide without binding. The center panel carries the most weight, so we reinforce the header when needed and ensure the rollers are rated for the span, not just swapped out for whatever is on the truck.
Casement Windows
Casement Windows crank outward and seal tighter than any other style, which is why we recommend them for second-story bedrooms where wind-driven rain finds every gap. In Fort Lauderdale, the hinges and operators on casement windows take a beating from humidity, so we install stainless steel hardware and double-check the weatherstripping compression after mounting. Ed Winslow has installed casement windows in every part of the city, from Imperial Point to Croissant Park, and he still inspects the complicated jobs personally.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning & Hopper Windows suit different needs: awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, making them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens where you want airflow even during a light rain, while hopper windows hinge at the bottom and open inward, which works well for basement-level or utility rooms. We handle both styles in Fort Lauderdale with the same level of care: correct rough opening prep, level mounting, and a final water test before we pack up.
Picture & Fixed Windows
Picture windows do not open, which means the installation has to be absolutely right because there is no way to vent out trapped moisture later. We install fixed windows in Fort Lauderdale living rooms and stairwells with upgraded flashing and low-E glass that cuts solar heat gain. These windows are a strong choice for the north-facing walls that get scorched in August along Cordova Road and Sailboat Bend.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, a Florida brand that builds impact windows specifically for the wind speeds and debris loads we face in Broward County. We have installed PGT’s WinGuard and EnergyVue lines in hundreds of Fort Lauderdale homes, and we know their anchoring requirements for both wood-frame and concrete-block construction. Our techs stock PGT OEM hardware and follow the manufacturer’s installation manual to the letter, because a warranty is only as good as the install behind it.
We also install CGI and ES Windows, two brands that produce heavy-duty impact-rated windows for oceanfront and high-exposure properties. CGI’s Sentinel line is built for large openings and modern architecture, and we have put those windows into homes in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and Pompano Beach where spray from the Atlantic hits the glass daily. ES Windows gives us a high-end aluminum and wood-clad option for homeowners in Victoria Park and Colee Hammock who want contemporary lines plus hurricane protection. Whether you have PGT, CGI, ES Windows, or any other make in our authorized lineup, we can help.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Condensation between the panes. When the seal fails, the argon gas escapes and the insulating value drops to almost nothing. In Fort Lauderdale, that means your AC works harder in July and your electric bill shows it.
- Soft or rotting frames. Salt air and afternoon thunderstorms break down window frames faster here than almost anywhere in the state. Push a screwdriver gently into the wood near the corners; if it sinks in, the structural integrity is gone.
- Windows that stick or won’t stay open. Humidity swells wood and rusts hardware, so a window that fights you is telling you the mechanics are failing. Once the balance system goes, the sash can slam shut, which is dangerous for kids and pets.
- Visible daylight around the edges. If you see light leaking around a closed window, water is getting in too. Fort Lauderdale gets about 60 inches of rain a year, and every leak becomes mold or drywall damage within months.
- Rooms that never feel cool. Single-pane windows or failed low-E coatings let heat pour into the house. You will feel the difference within a week of a proper install.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Free on-site estimate. Ed Winslow or one of his senior techs measures every opening, checks the existing flashing, and gives you a written line-item quote before any work begins. No trip charge inside our home county, and the price does not change once we start.
- 2
Window selection and ordering. We help you choose the right glass package for your exposure, budget, and style, whether that is impact-rated PGT for a beach house or low-E casement windows for a Coral Ridge rancher. Every order is confirmed against the site measurements.
- 3
Removal and rough opening prep. On install day, our uniformed and background-checked crew protects your floors, removes the old window, and inspects the rough opening for rot, termite damage, or shoddy framing from a previous job. We fix problems before they get sealed inside the wall.
- 4
Installation and sealing. We mount the new window level and square, fasten it per the manufacturer’s spec, and apply flashing tape in the correct shingle pattern so water drains outward. Then we foam-seal the perimeter for insulation and caulk the exterior.
- 5
Final inspection and cleanup. We walk you through the operation of every window, test the locks, and remove all debris from the property. If anything is not done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right, period.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A standard window installation in Fort Lauderdale runs $450-$1,100 per window for vinyl frame replacements, while impact-rated windows add $400-$800 per opening depending on the brand, size, and exposure. A Bay & Bow Windows installation or a three-panel sliding window in a waterfront home might land at $1,800-$3,200 installed, and a full house of 12-16 windows typically falls between $9,000 and $22,000. These are the prices we see daily in this specific market, not national averages.
What drives the price up: second-story access, rotted framing that needs repair, non-standard sizes, and impact glass with higher design pressure ratings for oceanfront zones. What drives it down: standard sizes, first-floor access, and replacing several windows at once so the crew only mobilizes once. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written line-item quote that separates materials, labor, and any structural repairs. That is exactly what we hand you at the free estimate, and we will give you a free second opinion on any written estimate from another company. Call (904) 747-8989 to set it up.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Window installation is the removal of an existing window and the precise mounting, sealing, and trimming of a new one into the same opening.

Most single window installations in Fort Lauderdale take two to four hours from setup to cleanup, while a full house of 12 to 16 windows takes two to three days. The timeline depends on whether we find framing damage in the rough opening, because rotted wood has to be replaced before the new window goes in. We always give you a clear schedule at the estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
