AfterWindows & Doors in Sunrise, FL
Window installation in Sunrise typically runs $650-$1,400 per opening for standard vinyl or aluminum units, and $1,200-$2,800 for impact-rated replacements, with most single-family jobs spanning 8-15 openings and finishing in two to three days. Most Sunrise homes were built between 1965 and 1985 with original single-pane aluminum sliders that no longer meet Broward County’s HVHZ requirements, so full retrofits are now the majority of our work here. Call (754) 254-8492 to schedule your measured survey; the written quote you receive is the same document we use for installation.
Why Sunrise Homes Are Different
Sunrise was almost entirely built out between 1965 and 1985, well before Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew impact-resistant code overhaul. That leaves a city dense with CBS homes and massive condo complexes like Sunrise Lakes still fitted with original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousie windows. Because Broward County sits within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, every replacement unit must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval.
The housing stock is almost entirely concrete block stucco construction from the late 1960s through mid-1980s. In Sunrise Lakes and similar age-restricted communities, thousands of units retain their original 1970s aluminum-frame windows and sliding glass doors. The salt-laden humidity and intense UV exposure here accelerate frame oxidation and IGU seal failure, compressing effective lifespan below manufacturer projections for drier climates. Citizens Insurance non-renewal pressure is actively pushing thousands of Sunrise homeowners toward full impact-window retrofits.
Perhaps most distinctive: the original sliding glass doors in Sunrise Lakes were set in non-standard rough openings that predate modern sizing conventions. We measure every opening individually before ordering, because a standard 6/0 or 8/0 unit almost never drops in without shimming or frame modification. Out-of-area crews consistently underestimate this time and cost factor when bidding this community.
Our Main Sunrise Services
Most Sunrise homeowners who call us are looking for one of two things: replacing original aluminum windows with HVHZ-compliant impact units, or upgrading failing sliding glass doors in older condo communities. Here is where those jobs live on our site.
Window Replacement in Sunrise
We replace original single-pane aluminum and jalousie windows across Sunrise’s 1965-1985 housing stock, from single-family homes near Welleby to the thousands of units in Sunrise Lakes. Every job starts with a measured survey that accounts for non-standard rough openings, and we specify only Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approved units. Window Replacement in Sunrise covers full-frame and retrofit methods, with written pricing before any work begins.
Impact Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Full impact-rated retrofits are now the majority of our Sunrise work, driven by Citizens Insurance non-renewal requirements and Broward County’s HVHZ designation. We install PGT, CGI, and CWS impact lines specified by design pressure rating and sightline measurement, not by margin. Impact Windows & Doors in Sunrise details the product approval documentation we provide for every opening.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise
Sliding glass door replacement in Sunrise demands individual rough-opening measurement, especially in 1970s condo clusters where original doors were installed before modern sizing conventions existed. We carry Therma-Tru and ViewLux patio door lines with custom width and height options to fit these openings without excessive shimming. Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise explains our frame-modification protocol for non-standard conditions.

AfterWindow Installation in Sunrise
Window installation in Sunrise means working with 1965-1985 concrete block stucco construction, original single-pane aluminum frames that have oxidized in decades of salt-laden humidity, and rough openings that rarely match modern standard sizes. The specific problem we solve is getting HVHZ-compliant, properly sealed units into walls that were never designed for them, with documentation that satisfies both the building department and insurance underwriters. Window Installation is the broader category; this page covers what changes in Sunrise.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Your sashes no longer stay open without a prop, you feel drafts around the meeting rail, or the balance system has failed and the window slams shut.
What it costs in Sunrise
Standard vinyl single or double hung installation runs $650-$1,200 per opening; impact-rated units with HVHZ approval range from $1,200-$2,400.
How we do it
We measure the rough opening and existing frame depth, specify the unit from our ECO Window Systems or PGT lines, remove the old frame, install the new window with proper sill pan flashing, and seal with backer rod and silicone to the stucco return.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
The sash rolls unevenly or jumps the track, the locking mechanism no longer engages, or you can see daylight through the weatherstrip gap.
What it costs in Sunrise
Horizontal roller replacement in Sunrise typically ranges $700-$1,300 for standard units and $1,300-$2,600 for impact-rated HVHZ-approved rollers.
How we do it
We verify the track width and sill condition, order the exact sash configuration from our CGI or CWS lines, remove the old unit without damaging the stucco return, and install the new roller with adjustable rollers set to the proper sill slope.
What Window Installation Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Standard vinyl single/double hung | $650 - $1,200 |
| Impact-rated single/double hung | $1,200 - $2,400 |
| Horizontal roller (standard) | $700 - $1,300 |
| Horizontal roller (impact-rated) | $1,300 - $2,600 |
| Full-frame modification (non-standard opening) | $150 - $400 per opening |
Do you pull permits for window installation in Sunrise?
Yes. Every window installation in Sunrise requires a Broward County building permit, and we pull it as part of our scope. The permit, inspection documentation, and Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA certificates for each unit are included in the job file you receive. Call (754) 254-8492 to schedule your measured survey.
How long does window installation take in Sunrise?
Most single-family homes with 8-12 openings finish in two to three days; Sunrise Lakes condo units with 3-5 openings typically take one day. Non-standard rough openings requiring frame modification add a half day. Call (754) 254-8492 for a written timeline with your estimate.
Door Installation in Sunrise
Door installation in Sunrise confronts the same 1965-1985 construction era: original entry doors are often hollow-core or thin-gauge steel with compromised weatherstripping, and patio door openings in condo communities like Sunrise Lakes were set before modern sizing conventions existed. The specific problem is getting secure, HVHZ-compliant doors into openings that may need reframing, with hardware that meets current wind-load requirements. Door Installation covers our full methodology; here is what differs in Sunrise.
Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Light shows around the jamb, the deadbolt no longer seats flush, or the door face has delaminated from moisture intrusion at the threshold.
What it costs in Sunrise
Entry door installation in Sunrise ranges $1,200-$2,500 for standard fiberglass or steel units, and $2,500-$5,000 for impact-rated HVHZ-approved doors with multi-point locking.
How we do it
We measure the rough opening and jamb depth against the existing block wall, specify from our Therma-Tru or Mr-Glass lines, remove the old unit including any rotted wood buck, install the new pre-hung door with proper shimming and fastening to the block, and seal with backer rod and polyurethane foam.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Your insurance underwriter has flagged the existing door as non-compliant, or you’re replacing a standard entry door in an HVHZ zone where impact rating is now required.
What it costs in Sunrise
Impact-rated entry doors with HVHZ approval run $2,500-$5,000 installed, with decorative glass inserts adding $400-$1,200 depending on size and pattern.
How we do it
We verify the design pressure rating required for your specific Broward County wind zone, specify the door and glass package from our PGT or CGI lines with Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and install with multi-point locking hardware tested to the same standard.
What Door Installation Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Standard entry door (fiberglass/steel) | $1,200 - $2,500 |
| Impact-rated entry door | $2,500 - $5,000 |
| Decorative glass insert | $400 - $1,200 |
| Frame modification (non-standard opening) | $200 - $500 |
Do I need an impact-rated door in Sunrise?
If you’re within Broward County’s HVHZ and your insurance requires wind mitigation credits, yes. We specify only Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approved doors, and we provide the documentation for your underwriter. Call (754) 254-8492 to review your current door against current requirements.
Can you match a non-standard door opening in Sunrise?
Yes. In Sunrise Lakes and similar 1970s communities, we regularly modify rough openings or order custom-sized units from our manufacturer lines. The measured survey documents the exact opening before any order is placed. Call (754) 254-8492 to schedule.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Sunrise
Energy-efficient window installation in Sunrise targets the specific failure modes of 1965-1985 single-pane aluminum: solar heat gain that forces AC systems to cycle constantly, and IGU seal failure accelerated by salt-laden humidity and UV exposure. The problem we solve is lowering cooling load while meeting HVHZ requirements, in a climate where the payback period for high-performance glazing is shorter than inland Florida. Energy-Efficient Windows details our full product range; here is what works in Sunrise.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Your west- and south-facing rooms are noticeably hotter than the rest of the house, or your energy bills spike in summer despite consistent thermostat settings.
What it costs in Sunrise
Low-E with argon fill typically adds $80-$150 per opening to standard window pricing, or comes standard in most impact-rated units starting around $1,300.
How we do it
We specify the appropriate Low-E coating for Sunrise’s solar orientation and cooling-dominated climate, verify argon fill integrity at delivery, and install with warm-edge spacers to reduce thermal bridging at the glass edge.
ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
Signs you need it
You’re replacing windows anyway and want verified performance data, or you’re pursuing utility rebates that require ENERGY STAR certification.
What it costs in Sunrise
ENERGY STAR qualified windows in Sunrise range $750-$1,400 for standard units and $1,400-$2,800 for impact-rated versions with the certification.
How we do it
We pull the NFRC label data for U-factor and SHGC specific to our climate zone, specify from our ECO Window Systems or ViewLux ENERGY STAR lines, and include the certification documentation in your job file.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Low-E/argon upgrade (add to standard window) | $80 - $150 per opening |
| ENERGY STAR standard window | $750 - $1,400 |
| ENERGY STAR impact-rated window | $1,400 - $2,800 |
| UV-blocking/tinted glass upgrade | $120 - $250 per opening |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my AC bill in Sunrise?
Yes, measurably. In Sunrise’s cooling-dominated climate, dropping SHGC from 0.60 to 0.25 on west-facing glass can reduce peak cooling load by 15-25%. We calculate payback using your specific orientation and current glazing performance. Call (754) 254-8492 for a written analysis.
Do impact windows also save energy?
Most do. The laminated glass and insulated construction in HVHZ-rated impact units typically achieves U-factors below 0.35 and SHGC below 0.30, meeting or exceeding ENERGY STAR criteria for South Florida. Call (754) 254-8492 to compare specific product data.
Impact Garage Doors in Sunrise
Impact garage door installation in Sunrise addresses a gap in many 1965-1985 homes: the garage door is often the largest unprotected opening in the structure, and original doors lack the wind-load rating required under current HVHZ standards. The specific problem is that a garage door failure in a storm pressurizes the entire structure, yet many Sunrise homeowners have upgraded every window and door while leaving the garage door unaddressed. Impact Garage Doors covers our full product range; here is what we see in Sunrise.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Your current garage door has no wind-load sticker, the panels are un-reinforced, or your wind mitigation inspection flagged the garage door as non-compliant.
What it costs in Sunrise
Hurricane-rated garage door installation in Sunrise ranges $1,800-$3,500 for single-car doors and $2,800-$5,500 for double-car, depending on design pressure rating and insulation level.
How we do it
We measure the opening and verify the required design pressure for your Broward County wind zone, specify a Miami-Dade NOA door with reinforced tracks and heavy-duty hardware, and install with proper anchorage to the header and jambs.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
You’re upgrading for insurance compliance, selling the home, or your current door failed a recent wind mitigation inspection.
What it costs in Sunrise
Wind-load compliance upgrades for existing garage doors run $400-$1,200 if the door can be reinforced, or $1,800-$5,500 for full replacement with a rated unit.
How we do it
We inspect the existing door, track, and hardware against the Miami-Dade NOA database; if reinforcement is possible we install the approved kit with documentation, otherwise we specify and install a fully rated replacement door.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Single-car hurricane-rated door | $1,800 - $3,500 |
| Double-car hurricane-rated door | $2,800 - $5,500 |
| Wind-load reinforcement kit (existing door) | $400 - $1,200 |
| Heavy-duty track and hardware upgrade | $300 - $800 |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated in Sunrise?
If you’re in Broward County’s HVHZ and seeking wind mitigation credits or insurance compliance, yes. We verify the specific design pressure for your structure and provide Miami-Dade NOA documentation. Call (754) 254-8492 to inspect your current door.
Can you reinforce my existing garage door?
Sometimes. We first check whether your door model has an approved reinforcement kit in the Miami-Dade NOA database; if not, full replacement is required. The inspection and documentation are included in our estimate. Call (754) 254-8492 to schedule.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Sunrise
Custom and geometric window installation in Sunrise solves the mismatch between 1965-1985 architecture and modern standard sizes, particularly in communities like Sunrise Lakes where original windows were installed before any conventional sizing existed. The problem is that replacement often requires shaped or oversized units that must still carry HVHZ approval, with sightlines and glazing patterns that respect the original design intent. Custom & Geometric Windows details our capabilities; here is what we fabricate for Sunrise.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
Your home has trapezoids, triangles, or circular windows that have failed or fogged, and standard rectangular replacements would destroy the architectural character.
What it costs in Sunrise
Geometric and shaped windows in Sunrise start around $1,500-$3,000 for standard glass and $2,500-$5,500 for impact-rated HVHZ-approved custom fabrications.
How we do it
We field-measure every angle and radius, create a full-size template for your approval, and fabricate through our ViewLux or Mr-Glass custom lines with Miami-Dade NOA documentation for the specific configuration.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
The arched top sash in your entry or great room has separated at the mullion, or the curved glass has developed a stress crack from thermal cycling.
What it costs in Sunrise
Arched and curved window replacement in Sunrise ranges $2,000-$4,500 for standard units and $3,500-$7,000 for impact-rated custom curves with laminated glass.
How we do it
We capture the exact radius and spring-line height with a digital template, specify heat-bent or custom-molded glass from our approved manufacturer lines, and install with flexible flashing that accommodates the curved sill profile.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Geometric/shaped window (standard) | $1,500 - $3,000 |
| Geometric/shaped window (impact-rated) | $2,500 - $5,500 |
| Arched/curved window (standard) | $2,000 - $4,500 |
| Arched/curved window (impact-rated) | $3,500 - $7,000 |
| Custom template and field measurement | $200 - $400 per opening |
How long do custom windows take to fabricate for Sunrise?
Standard custom geometries typically ship in 4-6 weeks; complex curved or oversized units may take 8-10 weeks. We do not begin fabrication until you approve the template and the written quote. Call (754) 254-8492 to start the measurement process.
Do custom windows still need HVHZ approval in Sunrise?
Yes. Every custom unit we specify carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the exact size and configuration. We provide the approval documentation with your job file. Call (754) 254-8492 to verify your specific design.
