Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Fort Lauderdale
Replacing windows in Fort Lauderdale means solving for salt air, hurricane codes, and brutal July heat all at once. A standard inland-spec window fails here within a few years. We specify impact-rated glass, marine-grade hardware, and frames that don’t corrode a block from the Intracoastal. Our crews work from the Miami metro office, but dispatch, scheduling, and installation crews serve Fort Lauderdale directly, every week. Call (754) 354-1396 for a free estimate and a written line-item price before any work starts.
This page covers what window replacement actually costs in Fort Lauderdale, which materials hold up east of US-1, and what we see failing in homes across Coral Ridge, Sailboat Bend, Victoria Park, and Rio Vista.
Why Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Our crews know Fort Lauderdale’s housing stock because we work on it constantly: 1950s and 60s single-family ranches with original single-pane aluminum, mid-century condos along Galt Ocean Mile with sliding glass doors that leak during summer squalls, and newer waterfront builds that need our Door Replacement in Fort Lauderdale, and newer waterfront builds that need strict Miami-Dade compliance. That mix means the right window in Sailboat Bend is not the right window in Coral Ridge, and our recommendations reflect that.
Every Fort Lauderdale job gets a written price before a single screw turns, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we make it right, parts and labor, for a full year. Sean Mackey leads the team, and every technician is background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s at your door. Our live phone is answered around the clock by an actual person, not a callback queue. Fort Lauderdale homeowners have specific demands from a window contractor: show up when you say, price the job honestly, and install something that survives the next hurricane watch. We do all three.
Window Seal Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Window seal repair in Fort Lauderdale usually means replacing failed insulated glass units (IGUs) that have fogged from humid salt air breaching a compromised seal. The city’s climate makes seal failure worse than inland: a hairline gap at the seal lets tropical humidity in, and the trapped moisture fogs the glass permanently within months. In many Fort Lauderdale homes, a fogged window is an IGU replacement, not a simple re-seal. Expect to pay roughly $250 to $600 per IGU, depending on glass type, low-E coating, and whether the sash needs disassembly.
How We Replace a Failed IGU
We remove the sash, swap the failed unit for a new dual-pane IGU with fresh argon or krypton fill, and reset the glazing bead with a marine-grade sealant. The work typically takes under two hours per window. If the frame shows corrosion at the sill or jamb, we address that in the same visit rather than stuffing a new glass pack into a failing frame.
When a Seal Repair Isn’t Enough
If the IGU has failed because the vinyl or aluminum frame itself has warped or corroded from salt exposure, a new IGU will fog again within a couple of years. We’ll tell you straight when a full sash or entire window replacement is the cheaper long-term fix. On homes east of Federal Highway, we see this conversation weekly.
Call (754) 354-1396 if you have a fogged window in Fort Lauderdale, and we’ll give you a written price for the exact fix.
Energy Efficient Windows in Fort Lauderdale
Energy efficient windows in Fort Lauderdale are less about keeping heat in and more about keeping it out. Homes here cool against a tropical sun, so the right window carries a low solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), a strong low-E coating, and tight seals that keep humid air from loading up your HVAC. For a typical 2,000-square-foot Fort Lauderdale home, replacing eight to ten single-pane aluminum windows with energy-efficient impact units runs about $9,500 to $18,000 installed, depending on frame material and glass package.
Low-E and SHGC for West-Facing Glass
A west-facing window in Fort Lauderdale bakes every afternoon from about 3 p.m. to sunset. We specify a low SHGC, often 0.25 or lower, with a spectrally selective low-E coating that blocks infrared heat while letting visible light through. That combination cuts cooling load more than a high SHGC impact window ever will.
Frame Materials That Hold Up in Salt Air
Vinyl frames handle salt air better than powder-coated aluminum, which filiform-corrodes within a couple of years near the Intracoastal. For waterfront homes where aluminum is required for structural spans, we order upgraded marine-grade coatings and stainless hardware rather than the standard finish. The premium is real, and it’s cheaper than replacing a pitted frame in seven years.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale installs and services eight product lines, including PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For Fort Lauderdale specifically, we keep the most commonly needed hardware and replacement glass packages in local stock so a seal repair or sash swap doesn’t wait on a regional warehouse. Our Window Replacement team works with these brands every day and can tell you which one fits your particular exposure: salt, wind, or sun.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Jalousie windows in Coral Ridge and Sailoat Bend. The crank mechanisms seize from salt buildup, leaving louvers stuck half-open during a hurricane watch. These older jalousies also leak so much that salty air infiltrates wall cavities and corrodes interior wiring and drywall anchors within a few hurricane seasons, a failure you don’t see inland in Weston or Plantation.
- Filiform corrosion on powder-coated aluminum frames. White, worm-like corrosion appears at sill and jamb corners within two to three years on homes a block from the Intracoastal. Standard powder coat doesn’t hold up here; marine-grade finish or vinyl is the fix.
- Fogged non-impact insulated glass. Impact-less IGUs spider-web from wind-borne debris, then trap humid salt air between panes. The fog is permanent and the unit must be replaced.
- Sliding glass doors with worn rollers. Salt and sand grind rollers down fast in Fort Lauderdale. Doors bind, tracks fill with grit, and the panel gets harder to open each month until the hardware fails.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale, FL
A direct insert replacement for a standard 3×5-foot window in Fort Lauderdale runs about $850 to $1,600 per opening installed, depending on frame material and glass package. Full-frame replacements run $1,400 to $2,800 per opening, which covers new jambs, flashing, interior trim, and marine-grade hardware where needed. Our Fort Lauderdale Pgt service offers impact-rated PGT casements for high-exposure waterfront homes that can push past $3,200 per opening with Miami-Dade NOA laminated glass. The coastal-spec premium over an inland-spec window is roughly 15 to 30 percent per opening, and it’s the right spend: the cheap aluminum window corrodes and the cheap IGU fogs before the loan on the project is paid off.

FAQs About Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, most single-family homes in Fort Lauderdale east of I-95 are in the high-velocity hurricane zone, which requires Miami-Dade NOA-approved impact systems for replacement windows. High-rises definitely need them, but so does a ranch in Sailboat Bend or a mid-century condo on Galt Ocean Mile. Check the NOA label on any window a showroom shows you; a Florida Building Code product approval is not the same as a Miami-Dade NOA. Call (754) 354-1396 if you want us to check your property’s wind zone before you buy.
Because Sailboat Bend sits east of Federal Highway in the high-velocity hurricane zone, so the glass, frames, and hardware must meet Miami-Dade NOA approval, which carries tighter engineering and testing requirements than the inland Florida Building Code standard. Add stainless steel hardware and marine-grade flashing, and the coastal spec adds 15 to 30 percent per opening over an inland install in Coral Springs. The coastal spec is what keeps the window intact and sealed during a storm.
The real risk is salt infiltration: the louvers leak air constantly, and the salty air that gets into your wall cavities corrodes electrical wiring, drywall anchors, and framing over a few hurricane seasons. Jalousies also will not pass a wind mitigation inspection for insurance credits. You don’t need a visible leak to have damage accumulating inside the wall. Replacing them with impact-rated units now often costs less than a re-wire and drywall repair later.
You replace the failed insulated glass unit, not the entire frame or sash, in most cases. For impact windows, the IGU must meet the same Miami-Dade NOA spec as the original, and we order the replacement from the manufacturer to keep your NOA certification intact. Cost runs about $300 to $700 per IGU for impact glass. If the frame shows salt corrosion, we’ll quote a full sash or full replacement instead of putting new glass in a failing frame.
Choose a spectrally selective low-E coating with a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.25 or lower for west-facing glass in Fort Lauderdale. That combination blocks the worst of the 3 p.m. to sunset heat gain while keeping decent visible light transmission, so the room doesn’t feel like a cave. South-facing windows can carry a slightly higher SHGC, but west-facing exposure in this city is the hottest wall in the house. We’ll spec the exact coating for each elevation during the estimate.
