Impact Windows in Davie, FL: What Homeowners Need to Know
Window Replacement in Davie typically costs $800 to $1,500 per window, with whole-home packages running $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on opening count and whether you’re dealing with standard openings or the oversized sliders common on equestrian properties. Replacement work on an average 1970s CBS ranch home takes one to two days per window once units arrive, but custom fabrication for wide openings adds 6 to 10 weeks to the timeline. That’s the honest reality of impact work in this town, and it’s what we walk every homeowner through before a quote is ever written.
Winslow Windows & Doors has been doing Door Installation in Davie since 2011. Ed Winslow built this company on a simple premise: answer the phone, show up when you say you will, and stand behind every installation for 100 years. That last part isn’t marketing language. It’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every impact window, sliding glass door, and custom opening we install in Davie. Call (904) 913-5886 and a real person answers, day or night.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Davie’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We’re not a national chain with a rotating cast of subcontractors. Winslow is locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. When a background-checked, uniformed technician pulls up to a home off Orange Drive or Shotgun Road, you know exactly who’s walking to your front door before the truck stops rolling.
Our Impact Windows team knows Davie’s housing stock because we’ve worked in it for over a decade. We know what a 1979 CBS ranch on Stirling Road looks like inside the wall cavity. We know which neighborhoods have original jalousie windows and which have had piecemeal replacements over the years. And we know the HVHZ paperwork inside out, because in Davie, no permitted window or door replacement happens without a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Florida Product Approval. We handle that end to end.
The reviews from Davie homeowners tell the story: people call us because a neighbor did, and because the neighbor’s windows are still square, sealed, and silent through every summer thunderstorm since. We’re the one down the road, not the one on a billboard two counties away.
Our Impact Windows Services in Davie
Impact Window Replacement
Most Davie homes built before 1992 still have original single-pane aluminum windows that wouldn’t survive a mid-grade hurricane, let alone a direct hit. We replace them with PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows impact units rated for Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every window we install carries an NOA or Florida Product Approval number matched to the specific configuration and opening. We don’t do shutter workarounds, because Davie code doesn’t allow them.

Sliding Glass Doors
This is where Davie gets interesting. The town’s equestrian zoning means a lot of homes have 12 to 16 foot triple-track sliders opening to pool decks and paddocks. Standard impact-rated units don’t come in those widths. We source HVHZ-approved Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Davie in custom dimensions from specialty fabricators, which means longer lead times but a door that actually fits the opening without cobbling together filler panels. We also fix what’s behind those doors. Original wood bucks rot from decades of wind-driven rain, and we reframe and flash before setting the new unit.

Custom Wide Openings
Barn-style entry doors, extra-bay garage openings, and oversized fixed glass walls are common on Davie horse properties. These aren’t catalog items. We measure, spec, order, and install custom impact-rated units built for openings that standard residential products were never designed to handle. On a recent 1970s CBS ranch off Flamingo Road, our crew replaced failed single-pane aluminum sliders with PGT impact casements and a CGI 14-foot sliding glass door rated for the HVHZ. The original wood buck had rotted from decades of afternoon thunderstorms, so we reframed the rough opening and flashed it before setting the new unit. The inspector signed off on the Miami-Dade NOA paperwork the same day.

Whole-Home Impact Packages
Replacing every window and door in a Davie home is a big job, and it’s one we plan like a project, not a transaction. We walk the property, map every opening, identify which ones need framing upgrades, and build a written line-item quote with allowances for the surprises that always show up once walls are open. No vague numbers. No change-order ambush. You see the whole picture before you sign.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among others. That matters because warranty coverage depends on proper installation by a factory-authorized contractor. It also matters because we can order replacement sashes, hardware, and laminated glass units directly from the manufacturer when a Davie homeowner calls with a failed seal or a scratched interlayer. If your existing impact windows came from one of these brands and something’s off, we can diagnose it and fix it without replacing the entire unit.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Rotted wood bucks behind sliding glass doors. Decades of wind-driven rain from Broward’s afternoon thunderstorms works its way past failed weather stripping and soaks the wood framing behind the drywall. By the time we pull the old door, the buck is often mush. We reframe, flash, and only then set the new impact unit.
- Failed weather stripping on original aluminum frames. 1970s aluminum windows with worn seals let wind-driven rain into the jamb. You might not see it until the paint bubbles or the drywall softens. Replacing the window is the fix, but the framing repair underneath is what keeps it from happening again.
- Scratched laminated interlayers on horse properties. Dust and kicked-up debris are constant on equestrian lots. If the laminated glass interlayer gets scratched during a sloppy install, the large-missile rating is compromised even though the glass looks fine. We protect the glass during installation and inspect every unit before we leave.
- Undersized headers over wide sliders. A lot of Davie ranch homes were framed before impact codes existed. The header over a 12-foot slider might not be big enough to handle the design pressure of a new impact unit. We check the framing before we order, and we upgrade it when the numbers don’t work.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Davie, FL
Impact windows in Davie run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard openings. Impact single-hungs land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, including the wide sliders common on equestrian properties, push into the $2,500 to $5,000 range per unit. Whole-home packages typically run $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and frame material.
What moves the price? Opening count is the biggest factor. Floor height matters too, since second-story work on larger lots changes access and design pressure requirements. Wind zone is a constant in Davie: every unit must meet HVHZ standards, so there’s no “cheaper inland spec” to fall back on. Frame material, glass package, and whether we find rotted framing or undersized headers when we open the walls all factor in. That’s why we do a free in-home measure and give you a written quote before any contract is signed. Call (904) 913-5886 to schedule yours.
What Impact Windows Costs in Davie
Here’s the pricing breakdown in plain numbers:
- Standard impact window, installed: $800 to $1,500 per unit
- Impact single-hung, installed: $900 to $1,800 per unit
- Large or custom openings (wide sliders, barn doors): $2,500 to $5,000 per unit
- Whole-home packages: $8,000 to $25,000+
Design pressure ratings never exceed +/-100 PSF, and we match every unit’s DP rating to the specific opening and its exposure. A second-floor window on a wide-open horse property gets a different spec than a first-floor window shielded by a covered patio. We figure that out during the free in-home measure, not after you’ve signed a contract. The written quote you get is the price you pay, with any surprise work priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Florida Pays You Back
Impact windows in Davie qualify for a stack of incentives, and we walk every customer through them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And most carriers give a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we don’t guarantee a specific dollar figure. But we make sure you know what to claim and how.
One thing to understand: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for one reason that matters in Davie specifically. Shutters mean you have to be home, awake, and coordinated enough to hang panels before the storm hits. Impact windows are always in place, always rated, and they don’t require a ladder or a helper. They also don’t rot in a shed or disappear in a garage cleanout. We don’t sell shutters, and we never will. We install permanent protection.
And if your renovation triggers a permit, the inspector comes anyway. Budget for it. We include permit and inspection line items in every quote so there’s no surprise when the town signs off.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Davie
Because Davie sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, one of only two Florida counties with that designation. Under current code, every permitted window and door replacement must carry an NOA or Florida Product Approval for impact resistance, and there’s no shutter-only workaround. That’s a stricter standard than most of Florida, and it’s why we only install units with the correct paperwork for Davie’s wind zone. Call (904) 913-5886 if you want to know whether your existing windows are compliant.
No, you can’t. Impact glazing requires frames engineered for the additional weight and the design pressure ratings the HVHZ demands. Original 1980s aluminum frames in Davie ranch homes were never designed for impact loads, and retrofitting glass into them won’t pass a Miami-Dade NOA inspection. You’re replacing the whole unit. The good news is that modern impact frames are dramatically better at sealing out the wind-driven rain that rots wood bucks in the first place. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
Specialty fabrication. Standard impact-rated sliding doors top out well below the 12 to 16 foot widths common on Davie equestrian estates, so those openings require custom HVHZ-approved units from specialty fabricators. Lead times run 6 to 10 weeks, which catches contractors used to standard Broward residential jobs completely off guard. We bake that timeline into every equestrian-property quote upfront, and we inspect the rough opening for undersized headers before ordering, because a 14-foot impact slider exceeds the design pressure that a lot of original ranch framing can handle. Call (904) 913-5886 to get your openings measured.
It likely does. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which costs $75 to $150, most carriers apply a credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium for homes with proper impact openings. The exact percentage depends on your carrier, your home’s design pressure ratings, and the inspection results, so we don’t promise a specific dollar figure. What we do promise is that every window and door we install in Davie carries the NOA paperwork your insurance company needs to see. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll walk you through what to submit.
We’ve been doing this in Davie long enough to expect it. When we open up a 1970s CBS ranch home, we routinely find rotted wood bucks, undersized headers, and occasionally outdated wiring that a permit inspection triggers a code upgrade on. Here’s how we handle it: we do an inspection first, write allowances into the contract for anticipated framing and flashing work, and any surprise is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. You’re never standing in a gutted wall cavity wondering what it’s going to cost. Call (904) 913-5886 for an honest assessment of your home before you commit.
