Window & Door Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL
In Fort Lauderdale, your windows and doors aren't just about curb appeal — they're your first line of defense against Category 4 hurricane winds, relentless UV radiation, and energy bills that spike every summer. Planet Construction installs impact-rated windows and doors that are built for Florida life: hurricane-tested, energy-certified, and HOA-approved. And we handle everything from the permit to the final inspection.
Old Windows Cost You More Than You Think — Every Single Month
Most Fort Lauderdale homes and commercial properties built before 2002 still rely on non-impact single-pane glass. Beyond severe hurricane vulnerability, deteriorating frames and failing seals silently drain energy efficiency and forfeit substantial insurance savings.
Thermal Gain & AC Overload
Single-pane windows transfer solar heat continuously into living spaces. Modern Low-E insulated glass packages cut solar heat gain by up to 70%, lowering electric bills immediately.
Catastrophic Envelope Breach
In Category 4 or 5 windstorms, a single broken window pressurizes the building envelope, blowing off roof decking. Laminated impact glass withstands repetitive 175+ MPH projectile strikes.
Forfeited Insurance Discounts & HOA Approvals
Florida insurers require 100% opening mitigation for maximum OIR-B1-1802 premium credits (often saving 15–30% annually). We manage HOA packets and municipal permits from start to finish.

REQUEST CUSTOM OPENING REVIEWWhy Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose Us for Windows & Doors
Installing impact windows in South Florida is structural engineering, not simple cosmetic carpentry. We bring 17+ years of building code expertise and direct qualifier accountability to every opening.
Direct Legal Accountability
State Certified Qualifier on site. Permits pulled directly under our verified license — zero brokers, zero unauthorized subcontractor markups.
Impact-Rated for Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zones
Every window and door we install is certified for High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), engineered to withstand wind speeds exceeding 175 MPH and large-missile impacts. We calculate exact opening design pressures (+/-70 to +/-110 PSF) and match heavy-gauge aluminum frames with laminated Low-E glass.
Direct Municipal Permitting & Engineering Sign-Off
Window and door retrofits in Broward and Palm Beach are structural alterations requiring engineered buck submittals and product approvals. As a licensed General Contractor, we handle calculations, pull permits under our license, and walk every county inspector through final closeout.
Masonry Buck Preparation & Liquid-Applied Flashing Sills
Most window leaks occur around poorly fastened sub-bucks, not the glass itself. We inspect and repair deteriorated CBS lintels, install pressure-treated wood bucks with stainless Tapcon masonry anchors, and liquid-flash rough openings before securing frames.
How Our Window & Door Installation Process Works
A seamless, stress-free 4-step installation program from laser measurement to county permit closeout.
We measure every opening, review HOA or condo requirements, and recommend the right product and manufacturer for your project and budget. No pressure. Just information.
You choose your window style, glass type, and frame color. We order the product and simultaneously begin the permit application process with Broward County.
Our certified installation crew removes your existing windows and doors, prepares the rough openings, sets the new units, seals all perimeters, and ensures watertight, code-compliant installation.
We schedule the county inspection, ensure it passes, and deliver your closed permit. Your installation is on record, your insurance discount is documentable, and your home is properly protected.

What Property Owners & Managers Say
“Planet Construction replaced every window in our home with PGT impact units. The installation was fast, clean, and the crew was professional throughout. Our insurance discount alone covers a significant chunk of the payment. Best home improvement decision we've made.”
“We needed condo window replacement that met our HOA's very specific approval requirements. Planet Construction knew the rules before we even explained them, pulled all the permits, and completed 14 units on schedule. Flawless execution.”
“They replaced all our sliding glass doors and front entry doors with hurricane impact units. Perfect fit, beautiful trim work, and passed county inspection on the very first visit. Our home is so much quieter and cooler now.”
Do I need impact windows in Fort Lauderdale, or can I use shutters instead?
Both impact windows and hurricane shutters can meet Florida's storm protection requirements, but they solve the problem differently. Impact windows provide permanent, year-round protection without any action required before a storm. Shutters must be deployed (which takes time and physical effort) and only protect during the storm. Many homeowners use a combination of impact windows with shutters on large openings or as a secondary layer.
How much do impact windows cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Impact window pricing varies significantly based on window size, type, glass package, and manufacturer. Entry-level single-hung impact windows for a standard home typically start around $400–$700 per window installed, with luxury or large-format windows running higher. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate at no cost so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before committing to anything.
Do impact windows really reduce my homeowner's insurance premium?
Yes — in Florida, verified impact-rated openings on all windows and doors can qualify you for a wind mitigation credit on your homeowner's insurance. In Broward County, this savings can be substantial, especially on older homes. The amount depends on your current policy and insurer, but we recommend getting a wind mitigation inspection after installation to document the credits.
How long does window replacement take?
A typical full-home window replacement (10–20 windows) takes 1–3 days of installation, depending on the number and size of openings. Permit processing time varies by municipality but typically runs 2–4 weeks. We handle the entire schedule and keep you updated throughout.
Do you install windows in condos and HOA communities?
We're experienced with the specific requirements of condo and HOA installations. Many associations have strict rules about window brand, frame color, and glass tint. We verify the current HOA requirements before specifying any product and handle all permit coordination with the building department.
Can I finance my window and door replacement?
Yes. We offer financing programs through approved lenders with competitive rates and terms. Many of our customers finance their impact window upgrades and find that the insurance savings and energy savings make the monthly payment more manageable than expected. Ask us about current financing options during your estimate.
