How Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale Was Born in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale taught us something early: the sun here doesn’t just warm a house, it works against it. Salt air off the Atlantic, afternoon downpours that show up out of nowhere, hurricane season that makes you think hard about every opening in your home. When we first started looking at how window and door work was being done across Broward County, we kept seeing the same story. A homeowner would get a vague quote, watch the price drift upward once the job started, and then wait weeks for a callback about a warped frame or a fogged pane. It felt backwards. The work itself was never the problem. The problem was how little the customer knew about what they were actually paying for. So we set a different course from day one for this Fort Lauderdale branch: put the price in writing before anything starts, show the work as it happens, and stand behind every install with a guarantee that actually means something. Not because it’s a clever pitch. Because it’s how we’d want to be treated if someone were working on our own home.
Sean Mackey’s Personal Connection to the Windows & Doors Trade
Sean Mackey got into this work the way a lot of people get into a trade they end up loving: by being curious about how a house holds together when the weather turns against it. Years ago, he stood inside a home in South Florida while a summer storm hammered the windows and watched water find its way through a seal that had quietly failed. It wasn’t dramatic. Just a slow bead of water tracing a line down the glass. But it changed how he thought about what windows actually do. They’re not decoration. They’re the line between a family and everything the sky decides to throw at it.
Over more than a decade in the field, he’s felt the weight of a properly seated door the moment it swings true on its hinges. He’s heard the solid, low thunk of a window lifting in its track when the balance is right. He’s run his hand along a freshly set frame and known, before the caulk even dried, whether it was done the way it should be. That’s not something you learn from a manual. It’s something you earn by doing the work, job after job, in heat that soaks through your shirt by nine in the morning.
What keeps him in it is simpler than you might think. It’s the moment a customer walks into their own living room and feels the difference, the cooler air staying put, the street noise dropping away, the window finally closing without a fight. If he weren’t doing this, he’d probably still be working with his hands somewhere, building something, fixing something. It’s just who he is.
Meet Sean Mackey – The Person Behind Every Job
Sean Mackey is the Owner and Founder of this Fort Lauderdale location, and he’s spent his career learning windows and doors from every angle: measuring, ordering, installing, repairing, and most importantly, listening to homeowners who’ve been burned before. He’s not a salesperson with a clipboard racing between appointments. He’s a tradesperson who understands that a window quote means nothing if it’s not honest about what the job involves.
Off the job site, he’s the kind of person who pulls over when he sees a neighbor wrestling a storm shutter alone. He believes in doing the work once and doing it correctly, because every callback is a customer we’ve let down, and that’s not a number he’s willing to accept. His commitment is personal: if our name is on it, it’s done right, or we make it right.
Our Promise to Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
We work to a standard called The Relay Standard, and it shapes every job we take on. You book in a tap, no phone tag. You get a live arrival time, not a four-hour window. We send photos of the work, before and after. The price goes in writing before we start. And when the job is done, you get a digital invoice you can pay from the link. Every job is covered by The Relay Visibility Guarantee, which means total visibility: a live arrival time you can track to your door, photo updates of the work, and a written price before anything starts. You always know who is coming, when they will be there, and what it will cost.
We don’t do vague handshake pricing. We don’t leave you guessing. And we don’t consider the job finished until you can see for yourself what got done.
Our Credentials

Why do those credentials matter to you? Because the person standing in your doorway, handling glass and frames and moving parts, is there with your family’s safety and comfort in their hands. A license means they’ve proven they know the trade. Insurance means you’re protected if something goes wrong.
