We’re the team Davie calls when a window has to survive a Cat 4 and still cut the electric bill.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Davie’s Preferred Energy-Efficient Windows Company
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. We’ve built our reputation in South Florida the hard way: by showing up when we say we will, writing line-item quotes that don’t move, and doing work that survives the next storm season. Davie homeowners deal with the same three problems year after year: high interior humidity, afternoon sun that bakes west-facing rooms off Stirling Road, and older aluminum frames that rattle in the gusts that sweep through from the Everglades. We know those houses because we’ve crawled through enough of them.
The team that arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform, and the phone always rings to a live person. No voicemail loops. When a Davie homeowner calls us from a 1970s CBS ranch off Griffin Road with a failed seal on a picture window, we don’t hand them a ticket number. Ed’s team is proud to be Energy-Efficient Windows specialists who can quote it, order it, permit it, and install it. And if it’s not done right, our 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. That’s the standard we put behind every Davie job.
Our Energy-Efficient Windows Services in Davie
Davie homes are different from what you’ll find in most of Broward County. Larger lots, older frames, equestrian outbuildings, and a wind zone that demands strict code compliance. Our most requested services here reflect exactly that.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Low-E glass with argon gas fill is the workhorse upgrade for Davie’s CBS ranches, where original single-pane aluminum windows act like solar collectors facing west. The coating blocks a meaningful portion of infrared heat, and the argon between the panes slows thermal transfer through the glass. For a Davie homeowner with a west-facing living room off Davie Road, the difference is immediate: the room stays cooler, the AC cycles less, and furniture stops fading. We quote this as a full replacement, not a glass-only retrofit, because the old aluminum frames from the 1970s aren’t worth saving.

ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
ENERGY STAR rated units built for South Florida’s climate are what most Davie homeowners choose when a jalousie finally gives up. The jalousie windows common in 1970s and 1980s Davie CBS construction leak air and water after decades of near-daily summer thunderstorms. We replace them with sealed, impact-rated units that carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and meet ENERGY STAR standards for the Southern zone. The difference in a bedroom off Nob Hill Road is obvious the first humid night: no whistle, no condensation, no crickets sounding like they’re inside the wall.

Insulated Laminated Glass
Insulated laminated glass combines an energy-performance layer with the impact resistance Davie’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone demands. Two panes, an air space, and a laminate interlayer that holds the glass together under impact. For homes near Davie’s open equestrian pastures, wind-driven debris is a real threat, and this glass is rated for both energy performance and structural impact. In our experience, homeowners on the larger lots off Shotgun Road are the first to understand the value: one unit doing two jobs.

UV-Blocking & Fade Protection
South Florida sun isn’t just hot, it’s destructive. Hardwood floors, leather furniture, artwork, even cabinet faces fade faster in Davie’s year-round UV exposure than they do in most of the country. UV-blocking coatings in modern energy-efficient glass cut that damage substantially. We’ve had Davie clients tell us six months after install that their area rugs no longer show a bleach line where the slider used to let afternoon light through. When we replace a pool-facing slider off Flamingo Road, the UV protection is part of the package, not an add-on.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We’re authorized installers for CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and we regularly service Mr-Glass products in Davie homes. Because these brands are common across Broward County’s custom and equestrian market, we know their hardware, their fabrication specs, and their lead times. That matters when you need a non-standard 14-foot impact slider for a barn apartment or a wide fixed window over a kitchen sink that has to meet HVHZ code. When a Davie homeowner calls with a failed latch on a CWS casement or a fogged ES Windows unit, we can diagnose it fast and get the right replacement parts ordered the same week. We don’t sell brands we don’t install, and we don’t push a product that doesn’t fit your opening.
Common Energy-Efficient Windows Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Jalousie window leak and frame rot. The old glass-slat jalousies in 1970s and 1980s Davie CBS homes were never airtight. After four decades of afternoon thunderstorms, the wood bucks behind the aluminum frames are often rotted, and the leaking shows up as peeling paint and water stains inside the wall cavity. Most Davie homeowners don’t discover the rot until a remodel opens the wall, and by then the fix is bigger than a window swap.
- Sea air oxidation on aluminum frames, even inland. Davie is inland, but the same humidity that blankets Broward County corrodes uncoated aluminum window frames. Pitting and white oxidation are normal on homes along University Drive that haven’t had a window upgrade since the 1980s. The frames still work, right up until they don’t, and then a sash weld snaps.
- Failed seals and clouded glass from humidity swings. Year-round humidity in Davie runs high, and standard non-argon windows fog up from the inside once the seal fails. Once that happens, the insulating value is gone, and the only real fix is glass replacement or a full window swap. We see it in every neighborhood, from post-war ranches to the newer Town of Davie planned communities.
- Non-standard equestrian openings that standard units won’t fit. Barns, covered arenas, and detached guest quarters on Davie equestrian properties rarely have standard rough openings. A 16-foot triple-track slider across a pool deck facing a paddock isn’t a stock item. It’s a custom-fabricated HVHZ impact unit with a 6-to-10-week lead time, and homeowners who don’t get that information upfront end up frustrated when the project stalls.
Pricing for Energy-Efficient Windows in Davie, FL
The most common window we install in Davie, a standard impact rated single-hung with Low-E glass, runs between $900 and $1,800 per unit installed. A straightforward energy-efficient retrofit on a 1,800-square-foot CBS ranch, typically 8 to 12 windows, falls between $8,000 and $18,000 depending on size, frame material, and how much jamb repair the old window openings need. Large custom openings, those equestrian sliders and wide fixed units over pool cages, run $2,500 to $5,000 or more per opening once fabrication and permitting are included. Every Davie quote is line-itemed before you sign, and the number we quote is the number you pay. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free in-home measure and written estimate.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Davie
Impact windows in Davie generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Single-hung impact units sit between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, especially the 12-to-16-foot sliders common on Davie equestrian estates, land between $2,500 and $5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages in Davie typically fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on window count, opening types, and frame material. What moves the price in Davie specifically: the Broward County High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirement means every opening must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, which automatically moves most jobs into impact-rated pricing. Floor height matters, and so do the non-standard rough openings on barns, arenas, and guest quarters. Older CBS homes often need jamb repairs, rot remediation, and occasional reframing before a new unit will sit square. We measure free, write a line-item quote, and hold that number. You’ll know exactly what every opening costs before you sign anything.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s a real stack of incentives for Davie homeowners replacing windows, and it’s worth understanding before you decide to defer the work. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is a direct savings at the point of sale. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return 30% of qualifying product cost, up to $600 per year. And many carriers credit the windstorm portion of a Davie homeowner’s premium, often around 25%, after a wind-mitigation inspection that runs $75 to $150. We don’t quote final incentive numbers; programs and carrier policies set those. We do install windows that meet the current code definitions those programs look for.
Impact windows vs. shutters: Davie is inside the HVHZ, and under current code there is no shutter-only workaround for a permitted replacement. If you’re replacing windows, they have to be impact-rated, full stop. Shutters can be a supplement elsewhere, but a window in Davie that requires a permit requires a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval unit. Impact windows protect permanently, with no panels to hang and no scramble when a warning goes up. For most Davie homeowners, it’s the sensible choice, and the energy savings ride along with the storm protection.
On the ratings side, every unit we install in Davie carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the specific configuration, and we match the design pressure to the opening. Wind speeds in Davie’s wind zone can reach 140 to 170 mph. The design pressure rating, a PSF figure that never exceeds +/-100 in our product line, is matched to what the opening actually needs, per the engineered calculations. That’s code compliance, done straight.
The Davie Reality: What Opening an Old CBS Wall Actually Reveals
In Davie, any permitted window replacement must meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. There is no shutter-only workaround. If the opening gets touched, the unit going in has to be impact-rated and documented. That fact alone shapes every job we do in Davie, but it’s what’s behind the wall that really matters once the old jalousie frames come out. On a 1970s CBS ranch off Orange Drive, our crew pulled original jalousie windows and found what we often find: corroded aluminum frames and rotted wood bucks from decades of afternoon storms. We replaced them with PGT casement and fixed units carrying Miami-Dade NOA approval, rebuilt the jambs with pressure-treated lumber, installed flashing to current HVHZ detail, and the county inspector signed off without a correction. That’s the job done to code, but it’s also the job done honestly. Most Davie homes with original windows need jamb work, and pretending otherwise is how homeowners end up with a surprise change order.
What does this mean for a Davie remodel? When a homeowner opens up a wall for a kitchen or bathroom renovation and the window opening is exposed, the permit often triggers a requirement to bring that opening up to current HVHZ code. The old single-pane aluminum unit might have been grandfathered, but once the opening is exposed, the inspector may require impact-rated replacement. We approach this with an inspection first, then allowances written into the contract for known jamb repair, and any hidden rot or framing damage is priced and approved in writing before we make the repair. No surprises. Just a clear change order with a number on it before the work starts.
The other Davie-specific reality is lead time on equestrian properties. Triple-track sliding glass doors spanning 12 to 16 feet across pool decks that open to paddocks are common here. Sourcing HVHZ-approved impact sliding units in those custom widths means specialty fabrication and a 6-to-10-week wait. Standard Broward contractors who don’t do much equestrian work get caught by this. We bake the real lead time into every Davie equestrian quote from the first conversation, so you’re not discovering it three weeks into a job you thought would take four.

FAQs - Energy-Efficient Windows in Davie
Yes, for any permitted replacement in Davie you need impact-rated windows carrying Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, and shutters don’t satisfy that requirement under current Broward County HVHZ code. Shutters only work as a pre-code older-home supplement, but they won’t pass for new permitted work. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll walk you through what your specific openings require.
It takes 6 to 10 weeks because HVHZ-rated impact sliders in 12-to-16-foot custom widths aren’t stock items. They’re built to order by specialty fabricators, and there’s no shortcut around that fabrication window. Any contractor promising a two-week turnaround on a 12-foot impact slider is either lying or installing a non-compliant unit. We quote the real lead time upfront, and we order your fabrication as soon as you sign.
No, and we won’t sell that job. The old aluminum frames from 1970s Davie CBS homes aren’t worth retrofitting: they leak air, they’ve oxidized, and most important, they can’t accept modern Low-E insulated glass units without major modification. In Davie specifically, any glass replacement that requires a permit will pull in the HVHZ impact requirement anyway. The right call is full replacement, and the quote we give you reflects that honestly. Call (904) 913-5886 to see what your openings actually need.
Yes, meaningfully. Impact-rated energy-efficient units combine Low-E coatings, insulated glass, and argon fill, which reduces the solar heat gain that drives Davie AC bills from May through October. The humidity fighting is really about the seal: impact units are built tighter than old jalousies or single-pane sliders, so less moist outside air infiltrates your home, and your AC isn’t dehumidifying the neighborhood. The savings depend on your window count and orientation, and a free in-home measure from us gives you the real math.
Expect us to find exactly what we usually find in Davie CBS homes: corroded aluminum frames, rotted wood bucks from decades of storms, and occasionally an undersized lintel the original builder got away with because the old window weighed nothing. We inspect first, write jamb-repair allowances into the contract, and any additional framing or waterproofing work is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. You’ll see the change order number before the saw comes out. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll walk your remodel plan before the walls are opened.
If you’re in Davie and ready to replace leaky jalousies, fogged sliders, or original aluminum windows with proper energy-efficient impact units, call (904) 913-5886 to schedule your free estimate. We measure, we quote, we permit, and we install, with Ed Winslow’s name and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise on every job. The one down the road.
