What Our Window Replacement Service Includes

Window replacement isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. The right approach depends on the condition of your existing frames, the age of your home, and whether you’re looking for storm protection, energy savings, or both. Here’s what we handle in Fort Lauderdale and how we approach each type of project.

Full Frame Replacement

Full Frame Replacement means removing the entire existing window down to the rough opening, including the frame, trim, and old flashing. This is the right call when the frames are rotted, warped, or simply worn out, which we see a lot in older Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Rio Vista where wood frames have faced decades of humidity. Our crew rebuilds the opening with new framing, insulation, and flashing before setting the new window. Full frame replacement costs more than an insert, but it solves underlying structural problems and gives you a completely fresh seal against our climate.

Insert Window Replacement

An Insert Window Replacement, sometimes called a pocket replacement, fits a new window unit into the existing frame. It works well when the frame itself is still sound and square, saving you money on labor and materials. We measure every opening carefully and order units built to the exact dimensions, which matters in Fort Lauderdale’s older mid-century homes where window sizes were never standardized. Inserts are a faster job, usually one day for a whole house, and they preserve the look of your home’s original trim.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl Replacement Windows are the most common replacement material we install in Fort Lauderdale, and for good reason: they never rot, never need painting, and hold up to salt air without corroding. Modern vinyl windows come with multi-chambered frames and insulated glass that make a genuine difference in your electric bill. We install vinyl units from PGT and CWS with impact-rated glass options that meet Miami-Dade and Broward County code requirements. They’re also the most budget-friendly path to a whole-house replacement.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Replacing old single-pane windows with an Energy-Efficient Upgrade is one of the highest-return home improvements you can make in South Florida. Low-E glass coatings reflect heat while letting light through, and argon-filled double panes cut the amount of solar gain that strains your AC from June through October. We help homeowners choose the right glass package for their orientation - east- and west-facing windows in Fort Lauderdale get hammered by morning and afternoon sun. Expect to see a real difference in your cooling costs, not just in theory.

Window Maintenance & Care

Not every window problem requires a full replacement. We offer maintenance services that extend the life of your existing windows: replacing worn weatherstripping, adjusting sashes, clearing clogged weep holes, and resealing frames that have started to leak air. In Fort Lauderdale’s coastal environment, we recommend having your windows checked every couple of years even if nothing seems wrong. Small issues caught early can prevent water intrusion that leads to rot and mold inside your walls.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement

Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, two of the most respected impact-window manufacturers in Florida. We’ve installed PGT WinGuard and PGT PremierVue lines in homes across Fort Lauderdale, and we know exactly how their frames handle our salt-heavy coastal air. PGT’s aluminum impact windows are a go-to choice for waterfront properties in neighborhoods like Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach, where hurricane code compliance is non-negotiable.

We also work with CWS and ES Windows for homeowners who want high-end architectural lines or custom geometric shapes. CWS makes some of the strongest impact windows available, and ES Windows offers slim-profile aluminum frames that maximize glass area, which matters a lot when you’re paying for an ocean view. We can help you compare glass packages, energy ratings, and price points across any of these brands - and whether you currently have PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or any other make, we’ll assess what needs replacing and give you a straight answer.

Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now

• Drafts keep finding their way in. If you feel warm air seeping around the edges of closed windows in July, the seals are shot. You’re literally paying to cool the outdoors, and the only permanent fix is a properly sealed replacement.
• Condensation forms between the glass panes. That fog you can’t wipe off means the insulated glass unit has failed. The thermal barrier is gone, and the window is no more energy-efficient than a single pane of glass.
• The frame is soft, spongy, or shows visible rot. In Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, wood frames in older homes can rot from the inside out. If you can press a screwdriver into the frame, the structural integrity is compromised and water intrusion is next.
• Windows won’t open, won’t close, or won’t stay open. Sashes that stick, drop suddenly, or need a prop to stay up are more than annoying. They’re a safety issue, and in an emergency, an exit window that won’t open becomes a real problem.
• You hear street noise like the window’s open. Modern double-pane impact windows cut exterior sound dramatically. If you can hear every car on Sunrise Boulevard, your windows are past their useful life.

Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step

You should know exactly what happens after you call. Here’s how we work in Fort Lauderdale, from first call to final inspection.

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. When you call (904) 913-5886, a live person picks up, any time of day or night. We’ll ask about your home, your goals, and what’s going on with your current windows, then schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you. No trip charge inside Broward County.
2. 2
   We measure and assess every opening. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and measures every window opening precisely. We look at frame condition, existing flashing, and whether the current units meet code. You’ll get a detailed written estimate with line-item pricing before any work is scheduled.
3. 3
   You pick your windows, we order them. We walk you through the differences between single-hung, casement, horizontal roller, and picture windows, plus glass packages and frame materials. We order from PGT, CGI, CWS, or ES Windows based on your budget and your home’s needs. Lead times vary, but we tell you honestly before you sign anything.
4. 4
   Installation day - done right, done clean. Our crew protects your floors and furniture, removes the old windows carefully, and installs the new units with proper flashing and insulation. We don’t cut corners on the parts you can’t see. Every job gets a final walk-through with the homeowner.
5. 5
   Inspection and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If a permit is required, we pull it and the work passes inspection before we call the job complete. If anything isn’t done right, Ed Winslow makes it right - that’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it doesn’t expire.
