We know Sunrise’s housing stock because we work in it every week. The city’s master-planned neighborhoods, from Springtree to Welleby, were built almost entirely during the 1970s and 1980s, and nearly every original home still has the wide aluminum sliding glass doors installed at construction. Those doors predate Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code requirements, which means they’re not just outdated, they’re a liability your insurer is watching. We replace them with impact-rated doors that meet current wind-load standards and actually close the gap your policy is flagging.

Our team serves all of Sunrise, including Sawgrass Mills area, the neighborhoods around Nob Hill Road, and the condominium communities along Sunrise Lakes Boulevard. We answer the phone 24/7, and a live person picks up, not a voicemail loop. When you call (904) 913-5886, you’ll talk to someone who can schedule your free estimate and answer questions about HVHZ compliance, permit requirements, and what a real Sunrise slider replacement should include.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Company

We’ve been installing and repairing Sliding Glass & Patio Doors across South Florida since 2011, and the bulk of our Sunrise work comes from referrals in the neighborhoods themselves. Homeowners near Welleby Park, Springtree, and Sawgrass Mills call us because a neighbor already used us. That’s the kind of trust you earn by showing up on time, keeping the job site clean, and not disappearing after the check clears.

Ed Winslow is the owner, and he answers for the work. Not a franchise office, not a rotating project manager.

And when a question comes up at 8 p.m., someone answers the phone. A live person. Every time.

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and Therma-Tru, among others, which matters in Sunrise because those manufacturers carry the Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers your city’s building department and your insurance company are both asking for. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and hand you the wind mitigation report minus the runaround.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Services in Sunrise

Impact-Rated Sliding Glass Door Replacement

This is the most common job we do in Sunrise. The original aluminum sliders in the city’s 1970s and 1980s ranch homes and condos are single-pane, non-impact, and increasingly non-compliant. We replace them with impact-rated doors that meet Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, using laminated glass and reinforced frames built for the wind zone Sunrise sits in. Every door gets pulled permits and a final inspection.

HVHZ-Compliant Patio Door Upgrades

If your Sunrise condo association just sent a letter about door compliance, you’re not alone. Many Sunrise communities are now requiring unit owners to upgrade to HVHZ-compliant patio doors as part of building-wide recertification. We handle the engineering, the product selection, and the installation, and we coordinate directly with your association’s requirements so you don’t get stuck redoing work.

Track and Hardware Repair for Corroded Sliders

Sunrise’s humidity and daily summer thunderstorms accelerate aluminum oxidation. Tracks corrode, rollers seize, and doors that used to glide now need two hands and a hip check. We repair or replace tracks, rollers, handles, and locks on existing sliders when the frame is still sound. If the glass is single-pane and the frame is shot, repair stops making sense and replacement is the honest recommendation.

Wide 1970s Slider Opening Retrofit

Sunrise ranchers were built with wide openings, often 8 to 12 feet, that modern off-the-shelf doors don’t match. We retrofit those openings with custom-sized impact doors that carry the right design pressure rating for the opening’s size and exposure. No infill framing that makes your patio feel like a hallway. No lowering the header. Just a proper door that fits the opening you actually have.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise

We install and service doors from PGT, CGI, CWS, and Therma-Tru, plus ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for contemporary high-performance builds. Because we’re an authorized installer for these manufacturers, we have direct access to engineering support and warranty backing that independent handymen don’t. For Sunrise homeowners, that means when a CWS or PGT slider needs a specific roller assembly or lock set, we source it through authorized channels, not a universal parts bin. Fast turnaround, correct parts, and a warranty that’s actually enforceable.

A Sunrise Slider Job We Recently Finished

Our crew recently replaced a corroded 12-foot aluminum slider in a CBS ranch near Welleby Park. The original single-pane door had been sticking for years, and the tracks were so oxidized the door had to be lifted to move. We swapped it for a PGT impact-rated door with a laminated glass interlayer and Miami-Dade NOA approval. We pulled permits through the city of Sunrise, upgraded the rough opening to meet current design pressure ratings, and coordinated the final inspection. The homeowner got a wind mitigation report that qualifies for their insurer’s windstorm credit, and a door that opens with one finger.

Common Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes

• Corroded tracks and rollers. Sunrise’s constant humidity and near-daily summer thunderstorms oxidize aluminum tracks, causing sliders to jam, drag, or derail entirely. We see this on nearly every original 1970s door we’re called out for.
• Single-pane glass with zero impact resistance. The original sliders in Sunrise’s CBS homes shatter on impact. Windborne debris from even a tropical storm can turn that glass into a hazard, and your insurer knows it.
• Fogged or failed seals from humidity. Constant moisture intrusion breaks down the seal between panes over time, leaving sliding doors fogged and their insulating value gone. Once the seal fails, the door is no longer doing its thermal job.
• Air leaks driving up cooling loads. Aging frames and worn weatherstripping let conditioned air escape and humid air in, which runs your AC harder during Sunrise’s brutal summers and shows up on your FPL bill.

Pricing for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Sunrise, FL

What Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Sunrise

Here are the real anchors for Sunrise’s market, based on the jobs we quote and install:

• Impact sliding glass doors: $2,500 to $5,500 for standard openings.
• Wide 1970s-era slider replacements: $5,000 to $8,000.
• Full patio door wall or large custom openings: up to $10,000 or more depending on span and wind-load requirements.
• Track and hardware repair: $250 to $800 for most jobs, depending on what’s corroded and what’s salvageable.

What moves the price in Sunrise specifically: the wind zone. Broward County’s HVHZ designation means the door has to be tested and approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone performance, which locks you into a higher tier of product than most of Florida requires. The number of openings matters too, obviously. A single slider replacement costs what it costs; a whole-home package across eight or ten openings brings per-unit pricing down. We’ll measure, quote, and explain every line before you sign. Free in-home measure and written quote. That’s the close. Call (904) 913-5886.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Sunrise Homeowners Should Know

You can only choose one, and they’re not the same thing. Shutters hang on tracks, need someone home to deploy them, and do nothing for energy efficiency or daily security. Impact-rated sliding glass doors are always on. The protection is built in, not bolted on at the last minute. For Sunrise’s aging housing stock, where the original sliders are already failing structurally, replacing the door with an impact-rated unit solves the protection problem and the corrosion problem at once. We don’t install shutters, and we won’t pretend they’re an equal alternative to a properly rated door.

Florida Pays You Back

There’s a stack of incentives that can offset the cost of replacing your Sunrise sliding glass door:

• My Safe Florida Home program: Matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated doors.
• Florida sales-tax exemption: Impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from state sales tax.
• Federal 25C energy credit: 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units.
• Windstorm-premium credits: After a wind mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many insurers apply credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium.

No guarantees, and the programs and carriers set the final numbers. But documented compliance matters. In Sunrise, a door that meets Florida Product Approval with the right design pressure rating for your opening is something you can hand to your insurer. A cheap replacement without the paperwork is not.
