Impact Windows in Sunrise - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Sunrise

Impact window installation in Sunrise runs $800 to $1,500 per opening, with whole-home packages on 1970s and 1980s CBS ranch homes typically landing between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on how many sliding glass doors you’re replacing. Most Sunrise homeowners call us because their original aluminum single-pane windows and wide sliders failed a wind mitigation inspection, not because they woke up wanting new glass. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve spent over 15 years replacing exactly this kind of aging Broward County housing stock with impact-rated units that actually meet High Velocity Hurricane Zone code.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Impact Windows Company

Sunrise isn’t a market we parachute into. The city’s residential fabric is almost entirely 1970s and 1980s master-planned construction: concrete block stucco ranch homes and low-rise condos west of University Drive, built before Hurricane Andrew rewrote Florida’s building code and before the 2004-05 Florida Building Code revisions tightened impact standards across Broward County. That means the homes we work on in Sunrise all share the same DNA: aluminum single-pane windows, wide aluminum sliders, and a long list of insurer objections. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do. When you call (904) 913-5886, a live person answers, day or night, and you get straight answers about what your specific house needs.

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which matters because Sunrise homes need products with Florida Product Approval numbers specific to the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. We don’t sell generic glass and hope it passes. We pull Broward County permits, coordinate the wind mitigation documentation your insurer wants, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive when we say they will. Dispatch for Sunrise runs from our South Florida office, so a crew is never far from Welleby, Sawgrass Mills, or the neighborhoods off NW 20th Street.

Our Impact Windows Services in Sunrise

Impact-Rated Sliding Glass Door Replacement

If you own a 1970s Sunrise ranch, you almost certainly have the original aluminum sliding glass doors. Three or four panels, single-pane glass, tracks that bind after forty years of humidity and salt air. These are the single most common impact-upgrade trigger we see across Sunrise, more often than windows alone. A full replacement with a PGT or CGI impact-rated slider runs $2,500 to $5,000 per door for large or custom openings, and it’s the fastest way to get your wind mitigation report off the insurer’s bad list. We rebuild the jambs with pressure-treated stock, set the new laminated glass door with Miami-Dade NOA ratings, and haul the old corroded unit away.

Impact Window Installation

Standard impact window installation in Sunrise runs $900 to $1,800 per window for single-hung units, and $800 to $1,500 for typical fixed or casement openings. Every replacement window we install carries a Florida Product Approval number and is matched to the design pressure rating your wind zone requires, never exceeding +/-100 PSF. We replace original aluminum single-pane windows with laminated impact glass that handles both the HVHZ wind load and the daily afternoon thunderstorms that roll through from the Everglades.

Wind Mitigation Inspection and Documentation

Here’s what a lot of Sunrise homeowners don’t know until it bites them: your windows can look fine and still fail a wind mitigation review. The inspector isn’t checking whether the glass is cracked. They’re checking impact ratings, frame condition, and opening protection. If your home still has original single-pane units, you’re leaving Florida Statute 627.0629 credits on the table and your windstorm premium is higher than it should be. We document every replacement with the paperwork your carrier needs, including Miami-Dade NOA numbers and Florida Product Approval references. A wind mitigation inspection itself runs $75 to $150, and the premium credit after replacing old windows and doors averages around 25% on the windstorm portion.

Detached Structures and ADUs

Sunrise has a growing number of acreage properties with detached workshops, garages, and accessory dwelling units, especially as you move west toward the Sawgrass Expressway. Impact window installation on a detached structure often triggers its own permit considerations in Broward County, and we scope the opening count and wind zone requirements before quoting so there are no change orders. The cost per window on an ADU or workshop is the same range as the main house, $900 to $1,800, but the permit path and setback checks can differ.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise

We install and service impact windows from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, and we carry local stock of the parts Sunrise homes actually need: laminated sashes, replacement hardware for corroded slider tracks, and the specific frame profiles that match 1970s and 1980s CBS construction. Because our Impact Windows team works throughout Broward County, turnaround on parts is quick, and we don’t leave a Sunrise homeowner with a boarded-up opening waiting on a freight shipment. If a PGT or CGI unit fails, we’re authorized to handle the warranty claim directly.

Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Sunrise Homes

• Corroded aluminum slider tracks that seize. On Sunrise homes built in the 1970s, the wide aluminum sliding glass doors have spent four decades soaking up salt-laden humidity. Tracks bind, rollers disintegrate, and the door becomes impossible to operate. At that point you’re replacing the entire door, not just the glazing.
• Single-pane windows failing wind mitigation reviews. The original aluminum windows on Sunrise’s CBS ranch homes meet none of today’s impact standards. Insurers flag the single-pane glass, withhold Florida Statute 627.0629 credits, and often demand replacement before renewing the policy.
• Glazing seal failure from humidity and daily thunderstorms. Sunrise’s afternoon storms and intense summer humidity break down single-pane glazing seals on aging aluminum frames. Fogged glass, condensation between panes, and drafty frames are all signs the seal is gone, and once it’s gone, the window’s thermal value drops to zero.
• Delivery damage on acreage lots with long unpaved driveways. Sunset Strip, the neighborhoods near Sawgrass Mills, and the western acreage parcels have driveways that turn soft in the wet season. Oversized impact windows and doors are prone to shifting or damage during delivery if the material drop isn’t staged on compacted soil. We schedule drops carefully and keep equipment away from septic drainfields.

Pricing for Impact Windows in Sunrise, FL

What Impact Windows Costs in Sunrise

Let’s put real numbers on it for Sunrise homeowners. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Single-hung impact units are $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, which are common in Sunrise’s ranch homes with their wide sightlines, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and go up from there, with many Sunrise ranch replacements landing between $12,000 and $20,000 once you include three or four sliders. What moves the price in Sunrise: opening count, wind zone, floor height, and frame material. Aluminum frames cost less than vinyl but don’t insulate as well in Broward’s heat. Impact windows versus hurricane shutters is a comparison worth making once: shutters are cheaper upfront, but they only protect when someone hangs them, and Sunrise’s afternoon thunderstorms don’t wait for you to drag panels out of the garage. Permanent impact windows protect every hour of every day with no panels to hang and no storage to manage. Big-box retail installs may quote lower, but when a licensed impact specialist scopes the opening, pulls the permit, and documents the NOA ratings for your insurer, the difference shows up in the wind mitigation credits you actually receive.

Florida Pays You Back

Sunrise homeowners get more back than most people realize when they replace old single-pane windows and corroded sliders with impact-rated units. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows and doors qualify. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which on a $15,000 project is meaningful money. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, most Sunrise homeowners see a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We can’t guarantee what your carrier will approve, but we document everything correctly the first time so the credits you’re entitled to actually land on your policy. Call (904) 913-5886 to talk through your specific home.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Sunrise

The Sunrise Job We Won’t Forget

On a ranch home off NW 20th Street in Sunrise, we replaced three original aluminum sliders and a corroded rear door with PGT impact-rated units after the homeowner’s insurer flagged the single-pane glass in a wind mitigation review. Our crew removed the failed sashes, rebuilt the jambs with pressure-treated stock, and installed new laminated glass doors with Miami-Dade NOA ratings before the next afternoon thunderstorm rolled through. That’s the job in a nutshell: insurer flags the old glass, we replace it with impact-rated units that pass the next review, and the homeowner stops paying a windstorm premium penalty. When you call (904) 913-5886, you get the same crew, the same owner-operated accountability, and the same close attention to how Sunrise’s aging housing stock actually behaves.
