Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Window replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea costs between $800 and $2,400 per opening for impact-rated units in 2026, with full-frame replacements on older beachside buildings running $1,600 to $3,200 when rot repair and reframing are required. We’re Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale, and our crews work throughout Lauderdale-by-the-Sea on the low-rise condos, 1950s-1970s single-family homes, and small apartment buildings that define this stretch of A1A. If you live near Commercial Boulevard, El Prado Park, or anywhere between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, call (754) 354-1396 and we’ll schedule a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea has a stock of original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows that most of Broward County replaced decades ago. That means the work here is not a simple sash swap. It is opening walls, fixing what coastal air and time have done behind them, and installing a window that actually holds up to wind, salt, and code. We know what that looks like because we see it weekly. Our Window Replacement team handles the full scope of it: full frame replacement, insert replacement, vinyl units, energy-efficient upgrades, and the maintenance that keeps existing windows alive longer. Serving Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is not a side route for us. It’s a place with its own set of old-window failure modes, and we’ve learned them one opened wall at a time.
Why Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners keep calling us for two reasons: we write the price down before any work starts, and we do not flinch when an old jalousie opening turns into a rot-and-reframing job. Our reputation on the beachside blocks is built on that second part. Most window companies quote a clean swap and then inflate the invoice when the wall falls apart. We build the inspection into the estimate, write allowances into the contract for what the opening is likely to expose, and get written approval before we spend a dollar beyond the agreed scope.
Our Lauderdale-by-the-Sea customers work with background-checked, uniformed technicians who know the difference between a 1960s condo near El Mar Drive and a newer townhome off A1A. The Relay Visibility Guarantee applies on every job: a live arrival time you can track, before-and-after photos, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link. Sean Mackey leads our Fort Lauderdale operation, and that person-level accountability runs through every project we book in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Calls are answered by a real person 24/7, because nobody wants phone tag when a window is leaking and a storm watch is up.
Energy Efficient Windows in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Energy Efficient Windows in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea make more financial sense than they do almost anywhere else in Broward County, because a building sitting directly on the Atlantic fights salt, sun, and humidity every single day. A typical energy-efficient upgrade here runs $900 to $2,200 per opening, depending on whether we do an insert into a sound existing frame or a full-frame replacement. The payback is lower FPL bills and a building envelope that doesn’t sweat through the summer.
Low-E Glass and Impact Ratings Combined
Homeowners in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea often assume they have to choose between energy savings and hurricane protection. They don’t. PGT and ES Windows both make impact-rated units with low-E coatings that cut solar heat gain while meeting Miami-Dade design pressure requirements. We install them regularly in the low-rise condos along the beach, where the ocean view stays intact and the AC stops running nonstop in August.
What Old Jalousie and Single-Pane Frames Cost You
Original jalousie windows have roughly zero insulating value. Single-pane aluminum frames from the 1960s and 1970s transfer heat directly through the metal. When we replace those with insulated, low-E, impact-rated units, the difference in indoor temperature and humidity is noticeable within a week. Most Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners see the biggest jump in comfort in west-facing rooms that bake every afternoon.
Window Repair in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Window Repair in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea usually falls into two buckets: a window that doesn’t operate anymore because the salt-rotted hardware has seized, or a leaking frame that’s been quietly damaging the wall behind it. Repair costs start around $150 for a simple hardware or balance replacement and run up to $700 for frame repair, resealing, and flashing work. The free second visit if a repair fails is part of how we work, no charge and no argument.
Salt Corrosion on Frames and Hardware
Constant salt spray is the single biggest killer of window hardware in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Jamb screws corrode, locks seize, and rollers on sliding doors grind to a halt. In some cases we can replace the hardware and get the window working again. In others, the frame itself has corroded badly enough that it tears when we try to remove the sash. We will tell you which one you’re looking at during the estimate.
Leaks Around Old Frames
When a window leaks in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, the water is rarely coming through the glass. It’s coming around the frame, where years of wind-driven rain and no original flashing have opened gaps in the sealant and started rotting the wood behind it. We remove the interior trim, inspect the rough opening, replace any damaged lumber, and reflash the opening properly so the repair doesn’t fail in the next summer storm cycle.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
We stock parts and order hardware for the brands Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners actually have: PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. PGT impact-rated casements and single-hungs are the most common replacement we install here, especially in buildings that need Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval documentation. CGI and CWS show up regularly in condo associations with stricter architectural requirements. Having direct access to these product lines means we are not guessing at lead times or retrofitting from whatever is on a supply house shelf. For Lauderdale-by-the-Sea customers, that translates to faster turnaround and a window that matches the opening instead of a compromise unit.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homes
- Rotted jambs behind old jalousie frames. Original builders never flashed openings for a coastal flood zone, so decades of wind-driven rain have soaked the lumber behind the aluminum. Once the old sash comes out, the damage is right there in the open.
- Salt-corroded frames that tear on removal. Aluminum frames exposed to decades of salt air rust at the screws and welds. The window can’t be removed intact, which means the replacement quote needs to include full frame work, not an insert.
- Undersized framing that can’t carry impact-rated weight. A new PGT or ES Windows impact unit weighs significantly more than an old jalousie sash. Code requires the rough opening to handle the design pressure, and many 1950s-1970s openings simply don’t.
- Failed waterproofing at the sill and head. The absence of original flashing means water has been migrating into the wall cavity for years. New windows need new flashing, and the surrounding sheathing often needs repair before installation starts.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL
Here are honest numbers for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, not a range so wide it’s useless. An insert replacement into a sound frame runs $800 to $1,400 per window.

When we open an old jalousie opening and find rotted jambs or undersized framing, that adds $300 to $800 per opening depending on scope.

FAQs About Window Replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Because replacing a jalousie window is a structural change, not a like-for-like swap. When you remove a jalousie opening and install a modern impact-rated casement or double-hung, the rough opening changes, the framing gets reinforced, and the new unit has to meet current design pressure ratings for a coastal flood zone. The town’s building department treats that as an upgrade, not a repair, so a permit and inspection are mandatory. Call (754) 354-1396 and we’ll walk you through exactly what the permit requires for your specific building.
The inspector checks the rough opening framing, the method of anchoring, the flashing installation, and the design pressure documentation for the window itself. When we work in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, we typically get the inspector there while the opening is still exposed so the reframing and flashing are verified before the new window gets set. Our technicians pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job. For the exact scope on your building, call (754) 354-1396 for a free estimate.
Sometimes, but less often than condo owners hope. The opening’s rough dimensions may fit, but the framing behind it is frequently undersized or water-damaged in a 1960s beachside building. We measure the opening, check the existing framing for rot and structural capacity, and tell you upfront whether it’s an insert or a full-frame job. Written price either way, before any work starts. Call (754) 354-1396 to schedule an inspection.
Warranties from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows cover the glass and frame components, but they expect installation per coastal code standards, including proper flashing and corrosion-resistant fasteners. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation work separately for a full year, parts and labor, in writing. If a repair fails within that year, we come back at no charge. Call (754) 354-1396 if a window is acting up.
Rotted framing and missing flashing behind the old aluminum frames. It’s not a surprise if you know it’s coming, which is why we inspect the opening, write allowances for rot repair and reframing into the contract, and get your written approval before spending a dollar beyond the agreed scope. The free estimate at (754) 354-1396 includes that inspection so there’s no surprise to begin with.
