Window Replacement in Sunrise - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Sunrise

Window replacement in Sunrise almost always means one thing: pulling original 1970s and 1980s aluminum single-pane units and upgrading them to impact-rated assemblies that meet Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code. That’s the job we do most in this city, and we’ve done it across the original master-planned grid from Welleby to Sunrise Lakes. Ed Winslow has been running this company since 2011, and when you call (904) 913-5886, a real person answers – not a call center, not a voicemail loop. We schedule free in-home measures throughout Sunrise, and our crews know exactly what the Broward permit office will flag before we ever pull a unit.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’re not a national chain handing you a ticket number. Winslow Windows & Doors is locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. That means when a Sunrise homeowner off Oakland Park Boulevard or near the Sawgrass Mills corridor calls us about a seized slider or a failed seal, the person who answers the phone is the same person whose reputation rides on how that job turns out.

Our Sunrise customers consistently tell us the same thing: they’d been burned before by vague estimates, no-show crews, or warranties that evaporated after the check cleared. So we do the opposite. Every estimate is a written, line-item quote. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. And our Window Replacement team has spent years working with Broward County permit reviews, which means we know what gets flagged and we fix it before it does.

We also answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. – and someone will actually answer. If a storm just tore through your Sunrise neighborhood and you need a board-up or an emergency assessment, you’re not leaving a message and hoping for a callback.

Dispatch and scheduling run from our Miami office, but our crews serve Sunrise locally and we’re here as often as the work requires. That’s what local accountability looks like when it’s real, not a marketing slogan.

Our Window Replacement Services in Sunrise

Full Frame Replacement

In Sunrise, full-frame replacement is the standard, not the exception. The city’s original CBS ranch houses and low-rise condos were built during the 1970s and 1980s master-planned expansion, and their original aluminum windows don’t just look dated – they’re out of code compliance under the HVHZ. Full-frame replacement means we remove the entire existing assembly down to the concrete block opening, install new jamb flashings per Broward detail, and set a Florida Product Approval impact-rated unit. It’s the only way to guarantee the opening meets current design pressure requirements. For most Sunrise homes, a standard full-frame impact window runs $800-$1,200 per opening installed.

Insert Window Replacement

Insert or “pocket” replacement works only when the existing frame is structurally sound: square, rot-free, and still sealed to the opening. In Sunrise, we see that most often on newer condominium units where the association approved interior retrofit work or on homes where a previous owner already replaced frames once. But here’s the honest caveat: on most original 1970s aluminum frames in Sunrise, the frame itself is corroded from decades of daily afternoon thunderstorm humidity and salt-driven air. Inserts into those frames won’t carry an HVHZ impact approval, and Broward permit reviewers will flag it. When inserts make sense, they typically run $500-$850 per opening in Sunrise – but we’ll tell you honestly if your frame can’t support one.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl makes sense in Sunrise for one reason above all: it doesn’t corrode the way the city’s original aluminum frames did. South Florida humidity and salt air eat aluminum tracks, rollers, and corners over 30 to 40 years. A quality vinyl impact window with a laminated glass interlayer – installed as a full-frame replacement – gives you a rot-proof, maintenance-light perimeter that carries the Florida Product Approval number your insurer wants to see. High-performance vinyl impact units in Sunrise typically run $700-$1,300 per window, depending on size and design pressure.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Sunrise’s summer sun is relentless, and single-pane aluminum windows do almost nothing to stop solar heat gain. When we replace original single-panes with impact-rated insulated units, homeowners typically see an immediate difference: lower cooling loads, less afternoon heat radiating through west-facing glass along University Drive or Sunset Strip, and fewer rooms that feel like ovens by 4 p.m. Energy-efficient impact windows in Sunrise run $850-$1,500 per opening for standard sizes, and they qualify for the federal 25C energy credit on top of state sales-tax exemption.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise

We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and CWS, and those three brands cover the overwhelming majority of what Sunrise homeowners need. PGT’s 7700 and WinGuard series dominate the impact slider and single-hung market here, CGI carries a deep lineup of large-missile-rated casement and picture windows, and CWS gives us strong mid-tier options when budget matters but code compliance can’t slip. Because we install these lines constantly across Sunrise, we know which configurations carry which Miami-Dade NOA numbers and which design pressures they meet – so the quote we write matches the opening you actually have, not a generic “impact window” pitch. Local parts access through our South Florida suppliers means turnaround on replacement hardware and glass is measured in days, not months.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Sunrise Homes

• Seized and corroded aluminum sliding glass doors. The oversized 8-foot sliders standard in Sunrise’s 1970s ranch homes are a recurring service call across neighborhoods like Sunrise Lakes and the Sawgrass area. Decades of humidity corrode the tracks and rollers until operation fails entirely, and the single-pane glass provides zero impact resistance. Insurers are now explicitly flagging these doors on inspection reports.
• Failed seals on original single-pane windows. Sunrise’s near-daily summer downpours and intense humidity accelerate seal failure on aging aluminum units. You’ll see interior fogging, condensation between panes, and a sharp drop in the window’s ability to block solar heat – which pushes cooling costs up through August and September.
• Non-compliant drop-in replacements flagged at permit review. We’ve seen too many Sunrise homeowners pay for “impact glass” retrofits that skip the HVHZ design pressure and large-missile rating tests. Broward County catches these during permit review and forces a tear-out. If a quote doesn’t list Florida Product Approval numbers and design pressures matched to each opening, it’s not compliant.
• Corner rot and failed flashing on west-facing walls. Sunrise’s afternoon thunderstorms drive rain hard against western exposures. Original 1980s flashing details fail, water gets behind the frame, and by the time you see the interior stain, the rough opening needs remediation before a new unit can be set. Full-frame replacement addresses this properly.

Pricing for Window Replacement in Sunrise, FL

What Window Replacement Costs in Sunrise

Here’s what actually moves the number in Sunrise, and it’s rarely the glass. Opening count drives material and labor line items: a three-bedroom CBS ranch built in 1980 typically has 10 to 14 openings including the sliding glass door, and replacements add up faster than homeowners expect. Wind zone matters too: windows on the windward elevation need higher design pressure ratings than the same unit on a sheltered side, and that changes which PGT or CGI configuration applies. Floor height matters on Sunrise’s low-rise condo buildings, where second- and third-floor openings need different anchoring and larger glass. Frame material rounds it out: vinyl keeps material costs down, aluminum thermally broken frames add durability for tall or wide openings, and custom geometries always add fabrication cost. If you’d like an exact number for your house, call (904) 913-5886 for a free in-home measure and a written, fixed quote. There’s no trip charge inside our home county.

Florida Pays You Back

When you replace windows in Sunrise with qualified impact-rated units, you’re eligible for a stack of incentives that most homeowners never learn about until after the job is done. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and window replacement is squarely in scope. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, so the product portion of your quote is exempt at purchase. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after installation, a wind-mitigation inspection – typically $75 to $150 – can qualify you for windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. We can’t guarantee your carrier’s final numbers; the programs set those. But we document every installation so you can claim what’s yours.

One more thing worth knowing before you decide: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for most Sunrise homeowners. Shutters only protect you if someone is home to hang them before the storm – and Sunrise sees plenty of afternoon storms with no warning. Impact-rated windows are always on, always protecting the opening, and they don’t need storage space or two people to wrestle into place. They also raise your home’s replacement value instead of just adding another item to the garage.
