The median Fort Lauderdale home was built in 1973, and many still have their original windows. We replace them with Miami-Dade NOA impact windows and file the city permit, including historic review when your home needs it.
Fort Lauderdale has two kinds of housing. About 60% of homes are in condo and apartment buildings, and the rest are single-family houses, many from the 1950s through the 1970s. The median home here was built in 1973, so a lot of houses still have aging single-hung or awning windows that need shutters every storm.
The city's own rules shape how we quote. Exact-replacement window permits for houses, duplexes, and townhouses can use Fort Lauderdale's Walk-Thru review. Homes in a local historic district are different: changing windows there needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, and the city's design guidelines favor true divided lites. We sort out which path your home takes before you sign.
Fort Lauderdale lets exact-replacement window permits for single-family homes, duplexes, and townhouses go through its Walk-Thru permit process. That option is off the table when the home needs historic review, so we check your address first.
