AfterTrusted Impact Windows & Doors for Lighthouse Point Homeowners
Impact windows and doors in Lighthouse Point typically run $650 to $2,400 per opening depending on size, glazing specification, and whether the installation requires HVHZ code compliance. Most full-home replacements we complete in Lighthouse Point take 2 to 4 weeks from measured survey to final inspection, with single-opening repairs scheduled within a few business days. Call (754) 600-8907 to request your written estimate - the price we document is the price you pay.
We’ve installed impact-rated openings across Lighthouse Point since 2012, from the single-story ranch homes near the Hillsboro Inlet to the waterfront properties along the Intracoastal Waterway. The Haven Standard governs every job: a measured survey you keep, a written price before any work starts, and a documented photo record when we’re done. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry license numbers you can verify before they arrive. Live phone coverage is available 24/7, not a callback queue.
What Our Impact Windows & Doors Service Includes
Impact-Resistant Windows
Impact-resistant windows use laminated glass bonded to an interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral, that holds the pane intact even when struck by wind-borne debris. In Lighthouse Point, where the Broward County wind-borne debris region meets the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, these windows are code-required for new construction and most replacements. We specify PGT and CGI impact-resistant lines by opening size and exposure - a west-facing second-story window sees different load calculations than a ground-floor guest bedroom - and the measured survey documents both.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Hurricane impact windows are tested to ASTM E1886 and E1996 standards for large and small missile impact, then cycled for positive and negative pressure. Lighthouse Point sits in HVHZ territory, so every hurricane impact window we install must carry a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We pull permits through the City of Lighthouse Point Building Department and schedule inspections so the installation passes on first review. The photo record shows the label, the fastening pattern, and the sealant bed - evidence you keep under Haven Clause 4.
Single Hung Impact Windows
Single hung impact windows have a fixed upper sash and a lower sash that tilts inward for cleaning, making them the standard choice for bedrooms and secondary elevations where ventilation control matters less than cost efficiency. We see them frequently in the 1960s and 1970s ranch homes near Lighthouse Point’s interior streets, where original aluminum frames have corroded at the sill. Our measured survey captures the exact daylight opening, the frame depth, and the wall condition - three measurements that determine whether we use a pocket installation or full-frame replacement.
Double Hung Impact Windows
Double hung impact windows allow both sashes to operate, which improves airflow and simplifies cleaning from inside - useful for second-story rooms without exterior access. In Lighthouse Point’s humid subtropical climate, the operable sashes need proper weatherstripping and drainage channels to prevent condensation staining on interior drywall. We specify double hung units from CWS and ES Windows with sloped sills and weep-hole covers that shed rain without inviting insects, and we document the U-factor and SHGC ratings on the written quote so you know the thermal performance before ordering.
Horizontal Roller & Sliding Impact Windows
Horizontal roller windows operate on a track system with one or both sashes sliding sideways, ideal for wide openings where a hung sash would be too heavy or impractical. We install them frequently in Lighthouse Point’s mid-century modern and contemporary homes - and for Pompano Beach Impact Windows & Doors projects - where picture windows and corner configurations demand large uninterrupted glass areas. The roller hardware and track alignment are critical - a 48-inch-wide roller with failed bearings will bind and stress the frame - so our measured survey includes sash weight and track condition, and we specify replacement hardware from the manufacturer’s OEM line, not universal parts.
Vinyl Impact Windows
Vinyl impact windows use multi-chambered PVC frames with internal reinforcement, offering thermal performance and corrosion resistance at a lower price point than aluminum or aluminum-clad alternatives. In Lighthouse Point’s salt-air environment, vinyl eliminates the galvanic corrosion we see in aging aluminum frames, a problem we also address with Impact Windows & Doors - Margate, particularly on homes within a few blocks of the water. We source vinyl impact lines from ECO Window Systems and ViewLux, specifying frame color and grid pattern at the measured survey so the order matches the elevation - no surprises on delivery day, per Haven Clause 5.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows & Doors
We work with eight manufacturer lines specified by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. PGT and CGI are our most-specified impact brands in Lighthouse Point - PGT for their WinGuard aluminum and vinyl lines with documented Miami-Dade NOA performance, CGI for their Estate Collection and Sentinel lines that handle the large-format openings common in waterfront homes. We’ve measured, ordered, and installed hundreds of units from both manufacturers, and we maintain direct distributor relationships that let us trace warranty claims to the batch level if issues arise.
CWS and ES Windows round out our impact-rated specifications for cost-sensitive projects and custom geometries, including our Impact Windows & Doors in Boca Raton. CWS produces a strong vinyl impact line with competitive U-factors for east- and north-facing elevations where solar heat gain is less critical. ES Windows, manufactured in Miami-Dade County, offers short lead times and custom sizing that works well for Lighthouse Point’s non-standard openings - the arched windows in Spanish Colonial revivals, for instance, or the corner-wrapping configurations in modern builds. Whether you have PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or any other make, we can service, repair, or replace it with a written scope and a fixed price.

AfterSigns You Need Impact Windows & Doors Right Now
- Visible cracks or spidering in the glass interlayer. Impact glass is laminated; when the interlayer shows cracks, the unit has lost its structural integrity and will not perform under debris impact. We see this in Lighthouse Point homes where previous installers used non-impact glass in impact-rated frames, or where the laminate has degraded from UV exposure over 15-plus years. The fix is full replacement, not repair.
- Corrosion or pitting at aluminum frame corners and weep holes. Salt air accelerates galvanic corrosion in unanodized or improperly coated aluminum. Once pitting reaches the frame wall, water intrusion follows, and the frame can no longer support the design pressure rating. Our measured survey includes a moisture probe reading at the sill and jamb to confirm whether the wall cavity behind is still dry.
- Difficulty operating sashes, or sashes that won’t stay open. Binding, dragging, or counterweight failure indicates hardware fatigue, track misalignment, or frame racking from foundation settlement. In impact-rated units, this is a safety issue: a sash that slams shut in high wind can shatter the glass or damage the interlayer. We diagnose the cause - hardware, track, or frame - and specify the fix in writing.
- Water intrusion during moderate rain, not just storms. Staining at the sill, baseboard swelling, or musty odor near the window indicates sealant failure, improper flashing, or missing end dams. Lighthouse Point’s driving rains from the east and southeast test installation quality; a properly flashed impact window should not leak in a 35-mph wind-driven rain. Our photo record documents the existing condition before we open the wall.
- Your home failed wind mitigation inspection for opening protection. Florida insurers increasingly require documented opening protection for premium discounts. If your inspector noted “non-impact glass in impact zone” or “missing or illegible product approval labels,” replacement is the only path to the credit. We provide the Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation with every installation, and we photograph the label in place for your wind mitigation re-inspection.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measured survey and documented condition. A uniformed technician arrives at the scheduled time, verifies license number with you, and measures every opening to the sixteenth of an inch. We record frame depth, wall condition, sightline obstructions, and exposure orientation. You keep the measured survey; it becomes the basis for the written quote and the order.
- 2
Written quote with fixed pricing. Haven Clause 1 requires that the measured survey and the quote are the same document. We specify manufacturer, product line, glazing package, U-factor, SHGC, and installation method - pocket or full-frame - with line-item pricing per opening. The price does not change unless you change the scope.
- 3
Permit application and product ordering. We pull the permit with the City of Lighthouse Point Building Department and submit the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA for plan review. Product lead times vary by manufacturer and custom options; we communicate expected delivery dates in writing, with updates if they shift.
- 4
Installation with photo documentation. Our crew installs per manufacturer specification and Florida Building Code, using the fastening pattern, sealant type, and flashing details approved for the product. The photo record captures pre-condition, rough opening, fastening, sealant application, and finished elevation - evidence you keep under Haven Clause 4.
- 5
Inspection, walkthrough, and warranty activation. We schedule the city inspection and meet the inspector on site. After passing, we walk the job with you, verify operation of every sash and lock, and activate the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything is not done right, we make it right - written into the Haven Standard, not a verbal assurance.
How Much Does Impact Windows & Doors Cost in Lighthouse Point?
A typical single-opening impact window replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $650 to $1,400 for a standard vinyl single hung, $1,100 to $2,200 for a large-format aluminum horizontal roller, and $1,800 to $2,400 for a custom geometric or architectural unit. Full-home replacements for a 2,000-square-foot residence with 15 to 20 openings generally fall between $14,000 and $32,000 depending on product tier, glazing specification, and whether the installation requires full-frame removal and stucco repair.
Several factors move the price within these ranges. Product selection is primary: a PGT WinGuard aluminum double hung costs more than an ECO Window Systems vinyl single hung with comparable impact ratings. Opening size and configuration matter - a 60-by-48-inch picture window requires thicker glass and heavier hardware than a 36-by-54-inch single hung. Installation method affects labor: pocket installation uses the existing frame and costs less, while full-frame replacement includes frame removal, wall repair, and interior trim replacement. HVHZ compliance adds permit and inspection fees, which we itemize rather than bury.
To avoid overpaying, get a written quote that specifies manufacturer, product line, and installation method - vague descriptions like “impact window, installed” invite substitution. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll review it at no charge under our Free Second Opinion policy. Every estimate we provide includes the measured survey, line-item pricing, and scope of work with no obligation to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Impact windows and doors use laminated glass - two or more glass layers bonded to a shatter-resistant interlayer - that remains in the frame even when cracked by debris. In Lighthouse Point’s HVHZ designation, they are code-required for new construction and most replacements, and they qualify for wind mitigation insurance discounts when properly documented. The key specification is the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval, which we provide with every installation.
A single-opening replacement typically takes 2 to 4 hours; a full-home replacement of 15 to 20 openings is usually completed in 2 to 5 working days depending on product lead time and inspection scheduling. We pull permits through the City of Lighthouse Point and coordinate inspections so the job is not delayed by administrative holdups. Call (754) 600-8907 for a timeline specific to your project.
Single openings range from $650 to $2,400 depending on size, material, and glazing; full-home replacements typically run $14,000 to $32,000.

Yes. We work with PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and four additional manufacturer lines, specified by opening requirements rather than inventory. Our distributor relationships let us source OEM parts and trace warranty claims to the batch level. Whether your existing windows are PGT, CGI, or another make, we can repair or replace them with documented product approval.
We do not offer same-day installation for planned replacements - proper measurement, ordering, and permitting cannot be rushed without compromising the Haven Standard. For post-storm board-up and temporary securing of damaged openings, call (754) 600-8907; live phone coverage is available 24/7 to assess urgency and schedule priority service.
Every installation is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, written into the Haven Standard. Manufacturer warranties vary by product line - typically 10 years on glass, 20 years on non-glass components for PGT and CGI - and we register your warranty and provide documentation. The photo record from your installation supports any future claim.
Clear a 3-foot workspace inside and outside each opening, remove window treatments and wall hangings near the work area, and secure pets in a separate room. Our crew uses drop cloths and dust containment, but wall repair and stucco work generate debris we cannot fully eliminate. We communicate specific preparation needs - furniture moving, alarm system coordination - in the written scope before installation day.
