Permits are mandatory, and every unit must carry Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. We’ve worked the canal-side ranches and zero-lot-line streets here long enough to know that getting the paperwork right is only half the job, the other half is staging a clean install on a lot where the neighbor’s wall is six feet from your bedroom window.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 because he was tired of watching homeowners get handed ticket numbers by faceless installers. Winslow Windows & Doors is still owner-operated, and Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. When you call about impact windows in Lighthouse Point, you’ll talk to a live person at (561) 816-5648, any hour, any day. No voicemail loops. No call center in another state.
We’re the team homeowners call after a jalousie window gets flagged at insurance renewal and they need HVHZ-rated replacements fast. Our technicians arrive background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking up your driveway before the truck door opens. And because we’re locally owned with a published address and license number, there’s no shell game when it’s time to stand behind the work.
Our Impact Windows team has handled retrofits on 1950s concrete block ranches along NE 31st Court, newer builds off Sample Road, and everything between. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs every install, if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century-long standard of accountability, and it’s not something a national chain can match.
Our Impact Windows Services in Lighthouse Point
Impact-Rated Glazing
Most homes in Lighthouse Point need full impact-rated glazing, not just laminated glass in the front windows. That means every opening gets a unit tested and approved for Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. We spec Design Pressure ratings matched to each opening’s size and height, never above +/-100 PSF, and we verify the Florida Product Approval number for every configuration before we order.
Miami-Dade NOA & Florida Product Approval Compliance
Lighthouse Point sits inside Broward County’s HVHZ, which means a standard Miami-Dade NOA isn’t a bonus, it’s the floor. Every window and door we install here carries either Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. We pull permits for every job and keep the approval documents organized for your insurance file. If your insurer wants to see the paperwork before renewing your policy, you’ll have it.
HVHZ Retrofit & Replacement
The 1950s through 1970s housing stock in Lighthouse Point still holds a surprising number of original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows. Those units provide zero meaningful hurricane protection and get flagged constantly during wind-mitigation inspections. We replace them with modern impact units that meet current HVHZ code, and we handle the permit filing, the NOA documentation, and the final inspection coordination.
Salt-Corrosion Resistant Frame Systems
Because Lighthouse Point is a dense canal grid between the Intracoastal Waterway and interior waterways, salt-laden air hits windows from every direction, not just ocean-facing exposures. Standard aluminum frames oxidize and seize within a few years out here. We spec frame systems and hardware engineered for aggressive coastal corrosion, and we match the frames to the glass package so the whole assembly carries one consistent approval.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
As an authorized installer, we work with PGT and CGI impact systems, plus ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, and ViewLux for customers who want a specific aesthetic or performance profile. We keep common Lighthouse Point parts in stock for the brands we carry, which shortens turnaround when a sash needs service mid-hurricane-season. If you’re comparing written estimates, bring them in, we’ll give you an honest second opinion free of charge, and honor the 36500-Day Done Right Promise on any install we perform.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames and hardware. On canal-side homes, sashes bind and jamb screws snap during routine operation within a few years of a standard install. We see it most on NE 31st Court and the streets feeding off Lighthouse Drive.
- Original jalousie windows failing wind-mitigation inspection. Insurers flag these constantly during renewals, and homeowners scramble mid-season for HVHZ-rated replacements when permits and NOA documents are hardest to fast-track.
- Improper flashing on low-elevation concrete block openings. Wind-driven rain wicks behind the stucco, rotting interior sills and triggering hidden mold between party walls on zero-lot-line homes.
- Window and door thresholds seal failures from year-round salt exposure. The Intracoastal on one side and interior canals on the other means no side of the house gets a break, thresholds oxidize faster than even nearby inland Broward communities.

What moves the price in Lighthouse Point specifically is the salt-corrosion reality, zero-lot-line access, and the HVHZ paperwork each opening requires.

What Impact Windows Costs in Lighthouse Point

Florida Pays You Back
The incentive stack for Lighthouse Point homeowners is real. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 in qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And most carriers offer windstorm-premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection, often averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. Every program has its own rules, and your carrier sets the final numbers, but we’ll point you to the inspections and documentation that make the credits attainable.
Working on a Tight Lighthouse Point Lot: Staging, Access, and Quiet Neighbors
Lighthouse Point was built as a planned boating community in the 1950s through 1970s, mostly single-story concrete block stucco ranches on lots that don’t leave much room between houses. On a canal-side 1960s concrete block ranch along NE 31st Court, we replaced a wall of original single-pane jalousie windows with PGT impact-rated casement and picture units after the homeowner’s insurer flagged the jalousies at renewal. Our crew staged materials on the narrow swale, kept the shared driveway clear, posted party-wall notice to both adjacent lots, and removed the old aluminum frames without cutting into the stucco, leaving the tight lot swept and the neighbors’ mailboxes untouched by the end of each day.
Zero-lot-line and five-foot setback conditions change how we quote the job. Access dictates where materials get staged, whether we need a lift for upper openings, and how long the install takes. We factor all of that into the number we give you up front. We also work within Lighthouse Point’s noise ordinances and posted work hours, which keeps the neighbors civil and the job moving without surprises.
That sequence, staging, party-wall notice, noise hours, and permit timing, is how we build the quote. It reflects your actual access and salt-corrosion reality, not just the glass package.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Lighthouse Point
Yes. Lighthouse Point is inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every impact window and door installed here must carry either Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. Fort Lauderdale isn’t the only city enforcing the strict code, and any installer who tells you otherwise hasn’t pulled permits in this city. Call (561) 816-5648 to confirm your openings get the right approval before any glass is ordered.
Modern impact windows with engineered frame systems and coastal-grade hardware will dramatically outlast standard aluminum in Lighthouse Point’s salt-laden air, but no frame is immune to corrosion without proper material selection. We spec frames rated for aggressive coastal exposure, not the same units we’d put on an inland Broward home. The jalousies get replaced with HVHZ-rated units, and the new hardware won’t seize within a few years like the originals.
Access is the main cost driver. On a tight lot, staging materials, moving ladders, and removing old frames takes more time and coordination, and we may need to post party-wall notice and sequence work around your neighbor’s schedule. Our quote reflects that reality up front, so the number you approve is the final number. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free in-home measure and we’ll walk the lot with you before pricing a thing.
Yes, but you’ll need a wind-mitigation inspection after the install, which typically costs $75 to $150. The inspection documents features like roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated openings, and most carriers apply a windstorm-premium credit once the paperwork is filed. We provide the NOA and Florida Product Approval documents you’ll need, and we’ll work with your inspector so nothing gets missed mid-renewal.
Yes, a permit is required for every impact window and door replacement in Lighthouse Point, and we pull it before starting any work. The city enforces noise ordinances and work-hour restrictions, so we schedule installs within those windows and keep the job site orderly. Permit fees and the final inspection are part of your written quote, not a surprise add-on. Call (561) 816-5648 to get the process started.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Actually Protects a Lighthouse Point Home Month After Month
Shutters require someone to be home, awake, and physically able to hang heavy panels as a storm approaches, and they do nothing for the salt corrosion eating your frames the other 364 days of the year. Impact windows are permanent protection, always in place, always rated, and they replace the failing aluminum and jalousie units that Lighthouse Point homes still carry from the 1960s. We don’t sell or install shutters. We install impact windows and doors that meet HVHZ code, carry Florida Product Approval, and stand up to the canal-side salt air without a single panel to hang.
