Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Tamarac’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Tamarac homeowners keep our number on the fridge for a reason. We show up when we say we will, we answer the phone at 2 a.m. with a live person, and Ed Winslow’s name is on every job we do - not a ticket number, not a franchise territory map. We’ve replaced windows in Kings Point, the Woodlands, and throughout the 55+ communities that define Tamarac’s housing stock. Our installers understand CBS construction, jalousie retrofits, and the specific NOA documentation Broward County demands on every permitted job. That local knowledge means fewer surprises at inspection time.
We’re locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number. Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who you’re letting in. And we back every installation with our 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That’s a century-long standard, and we put it in writing.
Our Window Replacement Services in Tamarac
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means we remove the old window down to the rough opening and install a completely new unit, frame and all. In Tamarac’s 1960s and 1970s CBS homes, the original aluminum frames are often corroded, out of square, or leaking at the stucco line. Swapping in new impact-rated windows with a fresh frame gives you a clean seal against Broward’s afternoon thunderstorms and Hurricane season. Most full frame jobs in Tamarac run $1,200-$2,000 per opening for impact glass, and the price includes hauling away the old aluminum.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert windows, sometimes called pocket replacements, fit inside the existing frame when the original frame is still structurally sound. This approach saves labor and often costs 20-30% less than a full frame job. In Tamarac low-rise condos where HOA rules limit exterior changes, inserts are frequently the fastest path to code-compliant impact protection. We’ll tell you honestly whether your existing frames are worth saving or whether a full replacement makes more sense long-term.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl replacement windows in Tamarac are popular in the single-family homes off Commercial Boulevard and McNab Road because they never need painting and they handle humidity without swelling or corroding. A typical impact-rated vinyl single-hung runs $900-$1,400 installed. Vinyl’s insulating value also helps with the real problem here: cooling costs. Old single-pane aluminum windows leak conditioned air all summer, and vinyl frames break that thermal bridge. We install PGT vinyl lines and other brands that carry full Miami-Dade NOA for Tamarac’s wind zone.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Tamarac’s original window inventory is single-pane aluminum with no thermal break and no low-E coating. That means the afternoon sun on your west-facing patio enclosure becomes indoor heat within minutes. Upgrading to impact-rated insulated glass with low-E coatings typically cuts the solar heat gain through those openings by half, and Tamarac customers notice the difference in their FPL bill within the first summer. Energy-efficient upgrades also qualify for federal 25C tax credits, which we’ll help you document.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which means we get direct factory support on warranty claims and replacement parts. For Tamarac customers, that matters because we can pull NOA documentation directly from the manufacturer for every configuration we install. If your HOA in the Mainlands or Kings Point asks for specific product approvals before approving your window project, we provide the paperwork they need. No photocopies of photocopies. No generic spec sheets.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Original aluminum sliders and jalousies with zero impact protection. These 40- to 55-year-old windows offer no defense against flying debris and fail Broward inspection on any permitted renovation. In Kings Point, our crew removed original aluminum sliders that rattled in every afternoon thunderstorm and replaced them with PGT impact-rated casements, and the homeowners immediately qualified for wind mitigation credits.
- Failing insulated glass units in horizontal sliders. When moisture appears between the panes of a 1980s slider, the seal has failed and the glass is doing nothing for your cooling bill. Tamarac’s humidity makes this failure mode especially visible, with that telltale fog that never seems to clear.
- Jalousie windows in bathrooms and utility rooms. Tamarac’s 1970s condo villages are full of these crank-operated glass slats, and every one of them is non-compliant under current HVHZ code. Broward building inspectors routinely flag them during permitted work, which means HOA boards get hit with replacement costs they never budgeted for.
- Mismatched replacements that never should have passed. We’ve walked into Tamarac homes where a previous contractor installed Florida Product Approval-only windows that don’t meet HVHZ requirements. The work failed inspection, the windows had to come out, and the homeowner paid twice. We won’t let that happen to you.
What Window Replacement Costs in Tamarac
Impact windows in Tamarac generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed. A standard impact single-hung is $900-$1,800 depending on size and frame material. Large or custom openings, like a picture window facing a golf course or a wide patio slider, land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages across a typical 1,800-square-foot CBS home run $8,000-$25,000 or more, driven by opening count, floor height, and the specific NOA-rated configurations your wind zone requires. Frame material matters too: vinyl is the budget-friendly workhorse, aluminum is thinner and sleeker but pricier, and either way the glass must carry large-missile ratings for Tamarac. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll come measure every opening, walk the property with you, and hand you a written line-item quote before you spend a dollar.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Tamarac, FL
You’ll see a lot of vague pricing online. Here’s the straight version for Tamarac. Impact-rated vinyl windows are your entry point at $800-$1,200 per opening for standard sizes. Aluminum impact windows run $1,100-$1,500. If you want premium lines like PGT or CGI with upgraded hardware and thicker glass packages, budget $1,500-$1,800 per window. What moves the number: how many windows you’re doing, whether they’re inserts or full frame, the design pressure rating on the NOA (ratings never exceed +/-100 PSF, and we match exactly what your opening requires), and whether we’re working from a ladder on a second-story condo unit or a ground-level single-family home. Free in-home measure, written quote, and no change orders once we start. That’s the Winslow way.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives for replacing windows in Tamarac are real, and stacking them changes the math. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact-rated windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6% or more at the register. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), many Tamarac homeowners see the windstorm portion of their insurance premium drop by around 25% on average. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we won’t promise you a dollar figure. But we’ll show you exactly which credits your job qualifies for and how to document them.
One more thing worth knowing: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for Tamarac living because the protection is permanent. There are no panels to haul out of a garage before a storm, no tracks to maintain, and no scramble when a hurricane watch goes up while you’re out of town. A licensed impact specialist like us installs windows that protect your home 24/7, whether you’re home or not.
Window Replacement Across Tamarac’s 55+ Communities
Tamarac is one of South Florida’s most established retirement and 55+ communities, and that shapes almost every window job we do here. A large share of our customers are aging in place, seasonal residents, or adult children managing renovations for parents who live in Kings Point, the Mainlands, or the condo villages along Southgate Boulevard. That means every recommendation gets filtered through a practical lens: easy-to-operate hardware for arthritic hands, casement and awning windows that crank effortlessly instead of lifting a heavy double-hung sash, and low-maintenance frames that never need painting or scraping. If you’re a snowbird, you don’t want to think about windows while you’re up north. We respect that, and we’ll schedule around your calendar.
The permitting question comes up constantly in Tamarac’s HOA communities, and the answer has teeth. Replacing a window or door in Tamarac means a Broward County permit, full stop. There’s no exception for “just a single window” and no shortcut for using impact glass without a permit. Doing it unpermitted risks a failed inspection if you ever sell, a red flag from your insurer, and in condo buildings, an HOA fine. We pull the permit on every Tamarac job, we schedule the inspections, and we don’t ask you to handle a single piece of paperwork. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers every permit we pull and every inspection we pass.
