Windows & Doors in Sunrise, FL
Window installation in Sunrise typically runs $650-$1,400 per opening for standard vinyl or aluminum impact-rated units, with most single-family homes needing 10-18 windows total. Door installation ranges from $1,200-$3,800 depending on whether the unit is a standard entry door or a full impact-rated French door system. Every job we take in Sunrise starts with a measured survey you keep, and the written quote matches that document exactly - call (754) 240-8381 to schedule yours.
We install and replace windows and doors across Sunrise’s 1970s-1980s housing stock, from the CBS tract homes near Sawgrass Mills to the low-rise condo buildings in Sunrise Lakes. Our crews coordinate dispatch from our South Florida office and carry the Broward County HVHZ product approvals required for every replacement. Window Installation is what most Sunrise homeowners call about first, but the right product depends on what your walls already hold.
Why Sunrise Homes Are Different
Sunrise sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-borne debris standard in the country. Every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval - stricter than Palm Beach County one county north. The city’s master-planned neighborhoods, built heavily from the 1960s through the 1980s, are filled with concrete block structure homes still wearing original aluminum single-pane sliders and hollow-core entry doors. Florida’s property insurance crisis has made this a pressing issue: carriers are dropping or surcharging homes without impact-rated protection, and the original glazing in Sunrise Lakes, Welleby, and the Nob Hill corridor offers zero defense against either hurricanes or premium hikes.
Salt-laden air reaches Sunrise even 15-20 miles inland, and combined with extreme UV and year-round humidity, it oxidizes aluminum frames and destroys glazing sealant faster than inland Florida climates. The permitting office requires the NOA number on every application; contractors who quote non-listed products - even major national brands sold freely in Orlando - get jobs red-tagged mid-project. We pre-verify every product against the HVHZ list before quoting, because a mid-project product swap is a cost we refuse to pass on.
Before
AfterOur Main Sunrise Services
Most Sunrise calls fall into two categories: replacing failed original windows with impact-rated units, and upgrading entry doors to meet both HVHZ code and insurance requirements. Here is what each job involves locally.
Window Replacement in Sunrise
We measure every rough opening in Sunrise homes for squareness and structural integrity before specifying product. The uniform frame dimensions in Sunrise Lakes and other 55+ communities let us coordinate HOA-approved retrofit runs when boards pre-approve specs, cutting per-unit cost and installation time. Every replacement carries the full NOA documentation required for Broward permitting. Window Replacement in Sunrise covers the complete process from measured survey to final inspection.
Impact Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Impact-rated installation in Sunrise is not optional - it is the baseline for any replacement that passes inspection. We specify PGT and CGI products by performance tier and price range, matching the design pressure rating to your home’s exposure and the HVHZ requirement. Condos near the Sawgrass corridor and single-family homes in Welleby face different wind-load calculations, and our survey captures the difference. Impact Windows & Doors in Sunrise details the full product range.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise
Sunrise’s original patio door stock is overwhelmingly aluminum-framed single-pane sliders with corroded tracks and failed weatherstripping. We replace these with impact-rated multi-panel systems that carry the same NOA documentation as windows, but with the added requirement of proper threshold drainage for South Florida’s driving rain. The measured survey includes sill condition and floor-level drainage assessment. Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise covers sizing and specification.

Window Installation in Sunrise
Most Sunrise window jobs involve removing original aluminum single-pane units from 1970s-1980s CBS construction and installing impact-rated replacements that meet Broward HVHZ standards. The concrete block walls are structurally sound but often out-of-plumb, requiring shimming and proper anchoring to maintain the design pressure rating. We see the same pattern from Welleby to Sunrise Lakes: original sliders with failed rollers, oxidized frames, and glazing that predates any energy or impact code. Window Installation covers our full methodology, but Sunrise’s specific conditions - HVHZ compliance, salt-air exposure, and uniform condo dimensions - shape every quote we write.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Your sashes no longer stay open without a prop, the balance springs are broken, or you feel air movement around the frame perimeter even when locked.
What it costs in Sunrise
Single and double hung impact-rated window installation in Sunrise typically ranges from $680-$1,250 per opening depending on size, design pressure rating, and whether the existing frame is preserved or replaced.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit, inspect the rough opening for plumb and square, install the new hung window with HVHZ-approved fasteners and sealant, then document the installation with photos and the NOA certificate for permit closure.
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 when the unit is closed.
What it costs in Sunrise
Horizontal roller window installation in Sunrise typically ranges from $720-$1,380 per opening, with wider two-panel units toward the higher end and standard bedroom sizes toward the lower.
How we do it
We measure the exact track width and sill condition, specify the roller system rated for the sash weight and HVHZ pressure, install with continuous perimeter sealant per the NOA detail, and test operation before leaving.
What Window Installation Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Single/Double Hung (standard size) | $680 - $1,250 |
| Horizontal Roller (standard size) | $720 - $1,380 |
| 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) | $1,400 - $2,600 |
Do you pull permits for window replacement in Sunrise?
Yes. Broward County requires a permit for every window replacement with the product’s NOA or Florida Product Approval number cited on the application. We handle the permit, the inspection scheduling, and the final sign-off; the documentation travels with your job file.
Will the price change once work starts?
No. Haven Clause 1 means the measured survey and the written quote are the same document. If we encounter rot or structural damage we could not see during survey, we document it, stop work, and present a written amendment before continuing - never a surprise invoice.
Door Installation in Sunrise
Door installation in Sunrise means replacing hollow-core or louvered entry doors from the 1970s-1980s with impact-rated units that satisfy both HVHZ code and insurance underwriting requirements. The original door frames in Sunrise’s CBS tract homes are often embedded in concrete block with minimal flashing, so proper sill pan installation and drainage detailing are critical to prevent the water intrusion we see in Welleby and Nob Hill remodels. Door Installation covers our full scope, but Sunrise’s specific challenge is finding the right product in our eight manufacturer lines that carries both the HVHZ approval and the dimensions your block opening demands.
Entry Doors
Signs you need it
The door slab is delaminating, the jamb is soft at the sill, or the deadbolt no longer seats securely because the frame has shifted in the block opening.
What it costs in Sunrise
Standard entry door installation in Sunrise typically ranges from $1,200-$2,400, with fiberglass Therma-Tru units toward the lower end and full impact-rated steel systems toward the higher.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit, inspect the block opening for moisture damage, install a pre-hung door with integrated sill pan and HVHZ-approved hardware, then seal and flash per the manufacturer’s NOA detail.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Your insurance carrier has required impact-rated protection, your current door has no Miami-Dade NOA, or you want a single entry point that meets code without secondary shutter systems.
What it costs in Sunrise
Impact-rated entry door installation in Sunrise typically ranges from $2,200-$3,800 depending on size, glazing area, and whether the unit includes sidelights or transoms.
How we do it
We specify the design pressure rating for your exposure, order the unit with laminated glass and reinforced jamb, install with HVHZ fasteners and continuous sealant, and provide the NOA documentation for permit and insurance submission.
What Door Installation Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Standard Entry Door (fiberglass/steel) | $1,200 - $2,400 |
| Impact-Rated Entry Door | $2,200 - $3,800 |
| French & Double Door System | $3,200 - $5,500 |
Do I need a permit to replace my front door in Sunrise?
Yes. Broward County requires a permit for any exterior door replacement, with the product’s NOA or Florida Product Approval number on the application. We pull the permit, schedule inspection, and handle sign-off as part of the job scope.
Can I keep my existing frame and just replace the door slab?
Rarely in Sunrise. The original frames in 1970s-1980s CBS construction usually lack the integrated sill pan, proper flashing, and HVHZ fastener pattern required for code compliance. We evaluate each opening, but full pre-hung replacement is the norm.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Sunrise
Energy-efficient window installation in Sunrise addresses the specific failure mode of original aluminum single-pane units: solar heat gain that forces air conditioning systems to run continuously, and UV degradation of interior finishes that we document in nearly every Sunrise Lakes survey. The right specification combines Low-E coatings, argon gas fill, and the proper U-factor and SHGC ratings for Broward’s cooling-dominated climate, all within an impact-rated assembly that satisfies HVHZ. Energy-Efficient Windows explains the full performance matrix, but Sunrise’s combination of extreme UV, salt air, and insurance-driven retrofit urgency makes the energy upgrade inseparable from the impact upgrade.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Your west- and south-facing rooms are uncomfortably hot by mid-afternoon, your energy bills spike in summer, or you have replaced flooring or furniture due to sun fading.
What it costs in Sunrise
Low-E and argon gas upgrade within an impact-rated window in Sunrise typically adds $80-$150 per opening to the base unit cost, with total installed pricing from $760-$1,530 depending on size and frame material.
How we do it
We specify the coating location and gas fill percentage per the manufacturer’s NOA, order the insulated glass unit from the approved configuration list, and verify the NFRC label ratings before installation.
ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
Signs you need it
You want documented performance for utility rebate programs, your HOA requires visible efficiency certification, or you are replacing windows as part of a broader energy improvement for insurance or resale purposes.
What it costs in Sunrise
ENERGY STAR certified impact-rated window installation in Sunrise typically ranges from $820-$1,620 per opening, with the certification verified through the NFRC database and matched to South Florida’s climate zone requirements.
How we do it
We cross-reference the EPA’s ENERGY STAR product list with the HVHZ-approved products from our manufacturer lines, verify the climate zone rating, 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 base unit) | +$80 - $150 |
| ENERGY STAR Impact-Rated Window | $820 - $1,620 |
| UV-Blocking Laminated Glass (specialty) | $940 - $1,780 |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my electric bill in Sunrise?
Yes, measurably. We see cooling-load reductions of 15-25% in Sunrise homes moving from single-pane aluminum to Low-E argon-filled impact units, with the greatest improvement on west-facing walls common in 1970s tract layouts.
Do energy-efficient windows still meet hurricane code?
Yes, when specified correctly. Every energy-efficient unit we install in Sunrise carries the same Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval as our standard impact line; the Low-E coating and gas fill are options within the approved assembly, not replacements for it.
Impact Garage Doors in Sunrise
Impact garage door installation in Sunrise is increasingly driven by insurance underwriting: carriers are inspecting garage door ratings as a condition of continued coverage, and the original thin-gauge non-impact doors in Sunrise’s 1970s-1980s homes fail every time. The garage door is also the largest opening in most homes, making it the critical vulnerability for internal pressure damage during a wind event. Impact Garage Doors covers wind-load engineering and product selection, but Sunrise’s specific need is replacing non-rated sectional doors with HVHZ-approved systems that integrate with the home’s overall envelope protection.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Your insurance inspection flagged the garage door, your current door has no visible wind-load sticker, or you have upgraded your windows and doors but left the garage as the unprotected opening.
What it costs in Sunrise
Hurricane-rated garage door installation in Sunrise typically ranges from $2,800-$5,200 for a standard two-car sectional door, with wind-load rating, track gauge, and insulation level driving the variation.
How we do it
We measure the opening and calculate the design wind load per ASCE 7 for your Sunrise exposure category, specify the door and track system from our HVHZ-approved manufacturer list, and install with the required heavy-duty hardware and bracing.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Your permit application was rejected for insufficient garage door documentation, you are selling and the buyer’s inspection requires code verification, or your HOA mandated garage door replacement as part of a community-wide retrofit.
What it costs in Sunrise
Wind-load code compliance verification and garage door replacement in Sunrise typically ranges from $3,200-$5,800 when structural modification to the opening or upgraded track attachment is required.
How we do it
We pull the original permit history, verify the design pressure requirement with Broward County, engineer the attachment to the CBS header and jambs per the NOA detail, and provide the inspection-ready documentation package.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-Rated Sectional Door (2-car) | $2,800 - $5,200 |
| Wind-Load Compliance with Structural Modification | $3,200 - $5,800 |
| Insulated Impact-Rated Door Upgrade | $3,600 - $6,400 |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated if my windows already are?
Yes for code, and increasingly yes for insurance. The garage door is the largest opening; internal pressurization from a failed garage door destroys roofs and walls even when other openings are protected. Broward HVHZ treats it as a primary envelope component.
Can you match my existing garage door style with an impact-rated version?
Usually. We carry raised-panel, carriage-house, and flush designs from ViewLux and other approved lines, with the wind-load engineering integrated into the construction rather than applied as an after-market kit.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Sunrise
Custom and geometric window installation in Sunrise solves the problem of non-rectangular openings in 1970s-1980s architecture - eyebrows, hexagons, and raked trapezoids that original builders filled with fixed single-pane glass and no operability. These shapes cannot accept standard replacement units, and the HVHZ approval process for custom geometry is more stringent than for rectangles. Custom & Geometric Windows covers templating and manufacturing lead times, but Sunrise’s specific challenge is the salt-air and UV exposure on shaped units that often lack proper drainage paths, accelerating sealant failure at the miter joints.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
Your fixed geometric window has visible sealant cracking at the joints, condensation between panes that cannot be reached for repair, or you want to convert a fixed shape to an operable unit with HVHZ approval.
What it costs in Sunrise
Geometric and shaped window installation in Sunrise typically ranges from $1,800-$3,400 per opening, with the premium over rectangular units driven by custom templating, laminated glass cutting, and the NOA submittal process.
How we do it
We create a full-size template on site, submit the geometry to the manufacturer for HVHZ engineering review, fabricate the unit with heat-soaked laminated glass and reinforced miter construction, and install with continuous sealant per the approved detail.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
The radius top or full arch in your entry or great room has developed stress cracks at the spring line, the original unit was never impact-rated, or you are replacing a segmented arch with a true radius for improved sightlines.
What it costs in Sunrise
Arched and curved window installation in Sunrise typically ranges from $2,400-$4,600 per opening, with true radius construction toward the higher end and segmented arch replacements toward the lower.
How we do it
We measure the exact radius or ellipse with a digital template, engineer the curved laminated glass for the design pressure load, fabricate the frame with thermal break and drainage weep paths, and install with the structural attachment pattern specified in the NOA.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Sunrise
| Item | Typical range in Sunrise |
|---|---|
| Geometric & Shaped Window | $1,800 - $3,400 |
| Arched & Curved Window | $2,400 - $4,600 |
| Oversized Opening (custom engineered) | $3,200 - $6,800 |
How long does custom window fabrication take for Sunrise jobs?
Typically 6-10 weeks from template approval, with the HVHZ engineering review adding 2-3 weeks to standard rectangular lead times. We do not quote custom geometry until the template is verified and the manufacturer’s engineering department confirms the shape is approvable.
Can any shape be made impact-rated?
Not every shape. The HVHZ approval process limits certain extreme aspect ratios and very small radii. We verify feasibility with the manufacturer before quoting, and we do not promise what the engineering review cannot approve.
Brands We Service in Sunrise
We specify from eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - matched to your opening’s performance requirement and price range, not our inventory. For Sunrise’s HVHZ environment, we stock Therma-Tru entry systems and ViewLux impact-rated garage doors locally, with most other lines arriving within 2-3 weeks from regional distribution. See our brands for full specifications and warranty terms.
