AfterWindow Company in Plantation, FL
Most window and door work in Plantation runs between $650 and $2,800 per opening depending on whether it’s a standard retrofit or a full-frame install with impact-rated glass. Because every home here sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every product we quote carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and every job gets a Broward permit pulled by our licensed team. If you’re weighing whether to replace original single-pane aluminum windows or upgrade a lanai door, call us at (562) 478-8017 and we’ll put a written price in your hands before any work starts.
Why Plantation Homes Are Different
Plantation’s housing stock was built almost entirely between 1958 and 1990, when the city was developed as a planned community. That means tens of thousands of concrete block ranch homes with low-pitched hip roofs and Florida-room additions, most still carrying their original single-pane aluminum-frame or jalousie windows. Those units were never designed for post-Andrew HVHZ standards, and they’re functionally obsolete today.
The replacement market here is driven by two forces: code compliance and insurance economics. Citizens Property Insurance, which covers many Plantation homes, can add hundreds of dollars annually to premiums for non-impact openings. Meanwhile, the original aluminum sliding glass doors in rear lanai enclosures have exceeded their service life and routinely fail air-infiltration standards at permit inspection.
Then there’s the HOA layer. Communities along the Jacaranda corridor and near Plantation Golf & Country Club maintain strict architectural review boards that dictate approved frame colors and grid patterns. A window can pass Miami-Dade HVHZ testing and still get rejected by an HOA mid-permit, which is why we cross-reference both the Broward Building Division’s NOA list and your community’s design standards before we quote.
The climate adds its own wear pattern. Salt-laden air drifts inland from the Atlantic, and combined with year-round humidity and intense UV, it pits aluminum frames and delaminates seals faster than you’d see in Orlando or Tampa. Most Plantation homeowners run AC 10 to 11 months a year, so we’re also seeing growing interest in low-E coated impact glass for thermal performance, not just storm protection.
Our Main Plantation Services
Plantation homeowners call us most often for two types of jobs: swapping out obsolete windows for NOA-certified impact units, and replacing failed lanai or entry doors that no longer pass inspection. Here’s how we handle each.
Window Replacement in Plantation
We remove the original aluminum or jalousie units, inspect the surrounding CBS opening for moisture intrusion common in 1970s-era Florida rooms, then install impact-rated replacements with proper HVHZ anchoring. Because many Plantation homes have undersized openings, we often need to reframe rather than simply retrofit. Every job gets a Broward permit and passes inspection before we consider it complete. Window Replacement in Plantation covers our full process, product options from CGI and CWS, and what to expect during the two-day typical turnaround.
Window Installation in Plantation
New construction and room additions in Plantation’s older neighborhoods require full-frame installation with integrated nailing fins tied directly into the block wall. We coordinate with your builder on rough-opening timing, then return once the structure is dried in to set NOA-certified units and seal with pet-safe, low-VOC products where the specification allows. Our crews work quiet hours when kids’ nap schedules need protecting. Details on scheduling and product matching are on our Window Installation in Plantation page.
Door Installation in Plantation
Plantation’s rear lanai enclosures and front entries see the most door replacements. Original aluminum sliding glass doors from the 1970s and 1980s have rollers that seize, tracks that corrode, and weatherstripping that crumbles. We measure for proper HVHZ-rated replacements from ECO Window Systems and ES Windows, handle the permit, and confirm HOA color approval before ordering. See our full door process at Door Installation in Plantation.

What Plantation Customers Say
"They replaced a big foggy picture window. Careful with the furniture, laid down protection, and left no mess at all. Calm and respectful crew, and the view is clear again."
- Teresa Okafor"Replaced six windows. The crew laid runners through the house and vacuumed each room as they finished. With a crawling baby, that no mess thing meant a lot. Windows are gorgeous."
- Rosalind Kemp"Lovely windows and a tidy install. One window came in a couple weeks late from the factory, so that opening finished after the others. They kept me posted and the rest was spotless."
