AfterTrusted Custom & Geometric Windows for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Custom and geometric windows in Fort Lauderdale typically cost between $1,800 and $6,500 per opening depending on size, shape, and impact requirements, with most projects completed in 3 to 6 weeks from order to installation. That’s the honest answer most homeowners want, and it’s one we’ve been giving since 2011. Ed Winslow started Winslow Windows & Doors to serve Fort Lauderdale homeowners who wanted something better than a ticket number from a national chain, and today we install custom shapes from arched eyebrows to full trapezoids with the same accountability Ed’s name demands. Call (904) 913-5886 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, every day.
What Our Custom & Geometric Windows Service Includes
Geometric windows are not standard rectangles. They’re the shapes that give a Fort Lauderdale home its character: half-rounds above a front door, octagons in a gable, trapezoids that follow a roofline, and oversized panels that turn a blank wall into a view. Each one requires precise measurement, custom manufacturing, and an installer who understands how load, wind, and drainage behave differently on every shape. Here’s what we handle under this service.
Custom Impact Windows
Custom Impact Windows combine the structural performance of a hurricane-rated system with shapes that standard impact product lines don’t offer. In Fort Lauderdale, where wind-borne debris protection is written into the Florida Building Code, a shaped opening still needs an impact-rated solution that passes Miami-Dade county testing standards. Winslow Windows & Doors orders these units through authorized manufacturers like PGT and CGI, engineered to the exact radius, angle, and frame depth your opening demands. Every custom impact window we install carries the same 36500-Day Done Right Promise as our standard work: if it’s not done right, Ed makes it right.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Geometric & Shaped Windows include triangles, pentagons, rhomboids, and any window whose glass isn’t cut at right angles. Fort Lauderdale homes from the 1950s and 1960s often feature these above picture windows or entryways, and replacing them requires matching both the shape and the sightlines of the original architecture. We measure every angle on site, verify the opening is square (it rarely is), and order frames cut to the actual dimensions rather than forcing a factory shape into an imperfect rough opening. The result is a window that fits the first time, without caulk-filled gaps or trim that hides a sloppy install.
Arched & Curved Windows
Arched and curved windows bring a softness to Fort Lauderdale facades, from full radius half-rounds to shallow eyebrow arches over double doors. Because these shapes collect water differently than flat-topped windows, frame drainage, sill slope, and flashing details matter more here than anywhere else. Winslow Windows & Doors installs arched units with exterior-grade flashing systems and verifies weep paths before the trim goes on. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Victoria Park frequently ask us to preserve original arch shapes while upgrading glass to impact or low-E standards, and we build each order around that goal.
Oversized Openings
Oversized openings are any custom window spans beyond typical factory sizes, often used in Fort Lauderdale waterfront homes to capture views of canals or the Intracoastal. These installations involve heavier glass packages, reinforced frames, and sometimes a crane or lift to set the unit safely. Winslow Windows & Doors has installed oversized impact windows in communities like Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach, where the view is the point and the window has to hold up to both wind load and salt air. We’ll assess the header, verify the structural load path, and recommend a window system that won’t sag or bind within a decade.

Brands We Service for Custom & Geometric Windows
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, the Florida-based brand behind some of the most tested impact windows on the market. Their custom division handles shaped units that many other manufacturers won’t touch, and we’ve ordered everything from custom radius eyebrow windows to oversized trapezoids through PGT’s WinGuard and custom lines. When a Fort Lauderdale homeowner wants a shaped impact window that’s already proven in Florida’s wind conditions, PGT is often the answer, and we know their ordering process and lead times well enough to give you an accurate install date.
CGI is the other heavy hitter in our custom shape lineup, especially for homeowners who want a more architectural look on mid-century or contemporary homes. We also install CWS and ES Windows where the job calls for them, particularly on oversized openings or when a homeowner wants aluminum frames with narrower sightlines. Whether you have PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or any other make in your home, we can help you source the right custom replacement and install it correctly the first time.
Signs You Need Custom & Geometric Windows Right Now
- Moisture or fogging between panes. A failed seal in a custom window means the insulated glass is compromised, and in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, that fog can become permanent staining. Shaped windows with condensation you can’t wipe away need replacement, not a repair that won’t last.
- Visible cracking or bowing in the frame. Metal frames on older Fort Lauderdale homes will corrode and expand, and on a geometric or arched unit, that distortion puts pressure on the glass. Cracks in the frame are an early warning that the unit may fail suddenly.
- Difficulty opening or closing the window. Shaped windows that stick, bind, or won’t operate properly usually indicate frame shifts, and on a trapezoid or arched unit, every adjustment is more complex than on a standard rectangle. Once the geometry is off, forcing the sash makes it worse.
- Rising energy bills without an obvious cause. Custom windows built more than 15 years ago often lack low-E coatings or modern gas fills, and Fort Lauderdale air conditioning runs hard against solar gain through aging shaped glass. If your AC runs more and the house feels warmer near that arch or eyebrow window, it’s working against you.
- Visible water stains or paint bubbling around the casing. Leaks around custom windows are more common than most homeowners realize, especially on arched and curved shapes where flashing details were skipped or done wrong. Stains on drywall or bubbling paint below the window are signs water has already gotten behind the wall.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
Free in-home measurement and consultation. Ed’s team comes to your Fort Lauderdale home, measures every angle of the existing opening, photographs the rough frame, and discusses what you want: impact glass, low-E coatings, trim details, and budget. There’s no trip charge inside our home county, and the estimate is written, line by line.
- 2
Custom order with manufacturer engineering. We submit your exact dimensions to the manufacturer and review their shop drawings before the window is built. This is the step where attention matters most; a mismeasured radius or wrong angle means a window that doesn’t fit, and we don’t let that happen.
- 3
Structural verification and prep. Before the window shows up, we inspect the rough opening, check the header and load path, and make any needed repairs to the framing so the new window has a sound structure behind it. On oversized openings, this step includes confirming the opening will handle the added weight.
- 4
Window installation and flashing. Our background-checked, uniformed installers set the unit, level and square it, and install flashing, trim, and sealant in the correct sequence. For shaped windows, our crews spend extra time on drainage details so water rolls off and away rather than pooling.
- 5
Final walkthrough and cleanup. With the window in, we walk the job with you, verify operation from inside and out, and remove every scrap of debris. Your 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation from that day forward. If anything isn’t done right, you call Ed and we make it right.
How Much Does Custom & Geometric Windows Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Custom geometric window pricing in Fort Lauderdale depends heavily on size, shape complexity, and whether the unit needs to be impact-rated. A standard arched eyebrow window measuring under 3 feet across typically runs $1,800 to $3,200 installed. A larger half-round or full arch above a door lands between $2,500 and $5,000. Trapezoid and angled windows, which require non-standard frame angles and often custom templating, usually fall between $2,200 and $4,800. Oversized openings, the kind you see on waterfront homes with 8-foot or wider spans, start around $3,500 and can exceed $6,500 when impact glass and reinforced frames are required.
What moves the price most, aside from size, is the glass package. Impact-rated laminated glass adds roughly 30 to 50 percent over a non-impact unit, and low-E with argon gas adds more. Frame material matters too: aluminum is common in Fort Lauderdale and costs less than clad wood or composite, but some homeowners choose the latter for a specific architectural look. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, line-item estimate that separates materials, labor, and any structural work, and Winslow Windows & Doors provides exactly that at no charge. That free estimate includes exact dimensions, the manufacturer we recommend, the glass package, and the total installed price. If you have another written estimate, bring it in and we’ll give you a free second opinion on it.

Frequently Asked Questions - Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale
A custom or geometric window is any window whose shape is not a standard rectangle. Common examples in Fort Lauderdale homes include half-rounds, quarter-rounds, triangles, trapezoids, octagons, and arched or eyebrow windows. Because these shapes are built to order, they require custom manufacturing and precise installation, which is exactly the work Winslow Windows & Doors has performed since 2011.
From measurement to installation, most custom and geometric window replacements in Fort Lauderdale take 3 to 6 weeks. The largest variable is manufacturer lead time, which runs anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks depending on the shape and glass package. Once the window arrives at our shop, installation typically takes one day per opening. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on the specific window you need.
A custom geometric window in Fort Lauderdale typically costs $1,800 to $6,500 per opening, with the price driven by size, shape complexity, impact requirements, and frame material.

Every custom or geometric window installation is covered by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, which means if the install isn’t done right, Ed Winslow makes it right.

On installation day, our team protects your floors and furniture, and we clean up completely when the job is done. You don’t need to remove curtains or blinds yourself; we’ll handle that carefully during the removal process.
