If you own a home off South University Drive or anywhere else in Lauderhill, odds are your windows and doors were installed decades before impact-rated glass was required here.

We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been replacing tired old openings with HVHZ-compliant impact systems long enough to know exactly what Lauderhill code officials and insurance underwriters expect. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. Call (904) 913-5886 and a live person answers, whether it’s Tuesday afternoon or 2 a.m.

Why Lauderhill Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
People don’t choose a window company from a billboard. They choose one because a neighbor in Plantation Park had a crew show up on time, keep the job site clean, and stand behind the work six months later when a slider needed a small adjustment. That’s the reputation we’ve built in Lauderhill, one street at a time. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so when the truck pulls up you know exactly who’s walking to your door. We publish our address and license number. We answer the phone with a person, not a voicemail loop. And every installation comes with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right – period. That promise isn’t new. It’s been the standard since 2011.
In neighborhoods along East Commercial Boulevard and throughout the 33319 and 33324 zip codes, homeowners call us for two reasons. Either an insurance renewal letter just landed, or they’re tired of cranking jalousie windows that leak air, leak water, and rattle every time a truck drives past. Both situations deserve straight answers and a written estimate, which is exactly what you’ll get.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lauderhill
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship need in Lauderhill, and for good reason. Laminated glass and heavy-duty frames are tested to Miami-Dade NOA protocol and carry Florida Product Approval, so they satisfy Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. No panels to haul out of the garage. No 30-minute scramble when a warning goes up.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in Lauderhill.
Window Installation
Proper installation matters as much as the window itself. We match design pressures to each opening – never a rating above +/-100 PSF – and follow manufacturer specs to the letter. If the rough opening isn’t right, we fix it before the new unit goes in.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Lauderhill.
Window Replacement
Most Lauderhill homes need full-frame replacement, not inserts. The original aluminum frames embedded in 1960s concrete block aren’t rated for impact, and they weren’t energy-efficient on day one. We remove everything down to the opening, flash properly, and install units that meet current code.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in Lauderhill.
Door Installation
Your front door, side doors, and rear entry all need the same impact protection as your windows. We install Therma-Tru, PGT, and CGI entry systems that hold up to wind-load requirements without looking like bunker entrances.

Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliders are the weak point in most Lauderhill homes, especially if you’re still living with a single-pane aluminum original. Our Lauderhill Sliding Glass & Patio Doors from PGT and CGI move smoothly, seal tightly, and keep the view along with the protection.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Replacing jalousie and single-pane windows with Energy-Efficient Windows in Lauderhill can cut cooling costs by 20-30% in a Florida cooling climate. That’s money back on the electric bill every month from May through October, which is most of the year here.
Learn more about our energy-efficient window options in Lauderhill.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the single largest opening in your home, and a wind-rated one is essential in an HVHZ zone. If your current door fails under pressure, the garage pressurizes and your roof is next. We install Impact Garage Doors - Lauderhill engineered for Broward County wind loads.
Learn more about our impact garage door services in Lauderhill.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Not every opening in a Lauderhill home is a standard rectangle. Half-rounds, circles, angles, and custom shapes can all be impact-rated and HVHZ-compliant. If you have an odd opening, we can build a window for it.
Learn more about our custom and geometric window services in Lauderhill.
Roof Repair
A window company that also repairs roofs isn’t a coincidence. In a hurricane, the roof and the windows fail together – or they hold together. We repair roof leaks, flashing failures, and storm damage across Lauderhill, so the entire exterior envelope of your home is covered by one accountable owner.
Learn more about our roof repair services in Lauderhill.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Broward County means meeting HVHZ wind uplift requirements and passing inspection. We pull permits, install to spec, and pass inspections. No shortcuts, no mystery line items.

Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Whether your Lauderhill home needs architectural shingles, a tile roof that matches the original, or a standing seam metal system, we handle all three. The right material depends on your roofline, your HOA rules, and your budget – we’ll walk you through each option in plain English.

Why Lauderhill’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lauderhill sits inside Florida’s designated High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s not a marketing phrase – it’s a legal wind zone with the strictest impact-glazing requirements in the state. Any window or door replacement here must meet Miami-Dade NOA testing standards, which is a higher bar than standard Florida Building Code used elsewhere. The city’s housing stock makes this a bigger deal than in neighboring Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood. Lauderhill is dominated by 1960s-1980s concrete block homes and low-rise apartment buildings that were constructed with jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum frames. Those units are uninsurable under current Florida homeowner policies and non-compliant with HVHZ code. Replacement isn’t cosmetic. It’s mandatory.
We regularly see specific failure patterns in Lauderhill’s older concrete block stock. Jalousie frames corrode in the salt-heavy air and let water seep into the block around the opening. Aluminum sliders from the 1970s have rollers that fail, leaving the panel grinding on the track or jamming entirely. And in apartment conversions, retrofit jobs done decades ago often used the cheapest possible materials, which means homeowners who bought those units are now tearing out windows that were only installed 20 years ago. That’s a distinctly Lauderhill pattern, and it’s why we inspect the rough opening carefully before we quote.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lauderhill
Upfront pricing means we give you a line-item quote before work starts. No surprises on the invoice, no change orders for things we should have seen on day one. Here’s what you can expect for common Lauderhill jobs:
- Impact casement or single-hung window replacement: $900-$1,800 per opening installed, depending on size and design pressure rating
- Impact sliding glass door (standard 6-foot): $3,500-$6,500 installed
- Standard entry door replacement (impact-rated): $2,500-$5,000 installed
- Full-home window replacement (10-14 openings): $12,000-$25,000 installed
- Impact garage door: $3,000-$7,000 depending on size and insulation
Those ranges reflect what we’ve bid on real Lauderhill homes. Custom geometric windows, oversized openings, or structural repairs to rotten or deteriorated openings will shift the number. Call (904) 913-5886 for an exact quote – estimates are free, and we’ll send someone to measure.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: The Real Difference in Lauderhill
Shutters cost less upfront, and some homeowners still choose them to pass a wind-mitigation inspection at minimum cost. But shutters only work if someone is home to deploy them. A hurricane warning at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday means you’re climbing a ladder in wind and rain, wrestling steel panels into place. Impact windows don’t need deployment, don’t need storage space, and don’t get left half-installed. They’re protection that’s already on the job when the storm hits and they keep working every day of the year as security glass. For a mandatory-upgrade market like Lauderhill, buying shutters to save money usually means buying windows later anyway. We don’t sell shutters. We sell the permanent solution, and we’ll explain the cost difference honestly without leaning either way.
Florida Pays Lauderhill Homeowners Back
State and federal programs can recoup a meaningful chunk of your window and door investment, and you should know what’s available before you write a check.
- My Safe Florida Home: Matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Funding windows open and close, so timing matters.
- Florida sales-tax exemption: Impact-resistant windows and doors currently qualify for a sales-tax exemption in Florida. You keep 6-7% on a five-figure job.
- Federal 25C credit: Qualifying energy-efficient windows and doors can earn a 30% federal tax credit on product cost, up to $600 per year.
- Windstorm premium credits: After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), many Lauderhill homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on average. Your carrier sets the final number.
We’ll help you understand which programs apply to your home and your budget, but we won’t guarantee a dollar figure. Insurance carriers and state program administrators make those calls.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lauderhill
Impact window replacement in Lauderhill typically runs $900-$1,800 per opening installed, with the final number driven by window size, design pressure rating, and whether the opening needs structural work. A full-home job on a 1960s concrete block house usually lands between $12,000 and $25,000. Call (904) 913-5886 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Jalousie windows fail current HVHZ impact standards and are essentially uninsurable under today’s Florida homeowner policies. They must be replaced with impact-rated units to comply with Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. If you’re buying a home with jalousies, plan on replacing them before the insurer will bind coverage.
No. Our quotes are line-item and fixed. The only way the price changes is if you change the scope, or if we open up a wall and discover structural damage that couldn’t have been seen from the outside – and we’ll show you exactly what we found before any additional work is approved.
Yes. Every installation that requires a permit gets one, and every inspection gets scheduled and passed. Unpermitted window work can come back to haunt you at resale, and we don’t want that on our reputation or your closing papers.
Once your units are fabricated and on site, installation can go as fast as a single day for most homes. Custom fabrication typically runs 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. Call (904) 913-5886 to get on the schedule and get a solid timeline for your specific home.

What Lauderhill Customers Say
"The old aluminium sliders howled every afternoon storm and swelter came straight through the glass. The new impact sliders shut with a sound like a bank vault and the back rooms finally hold their temperature."
- Percival Whitcombe"The installation was clean and the windows are beautiful. The factory took about six weeks to deliver the units, which Ed told me upfront, but living behind plywood-framed openings in the meantime still tested my patience."
- Guadalupe Zamorano"Excellent work and a fair price for what it is, though impact glass is never cheap and one bedroom window arrived with a scratched pane. Ed flagged it before I saw it and the replacement went in without me chasing anyone."
- Bartholomew Crenshaw
