Most window and door replacements in Southwest Ranches run $800 – $3,200 per opening depending on size, impact rating, and whether the rough opening needs reframing.

Why Southwest Ranches Homes Are Different
Southwest Ranches sits on one-to-five-acre equestrian lots with custom estates built mostly from the late 1970s through the 2000s. That means oversized picture windows, floor-to-ceiling great-room glazing, and multi-panel sliding glass door systems are standard here, not upgrades. The entire town falls within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement must carry a valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance impact rating.
The housing stock creates real complexity. Many homes date to the 1980s and 1990s, with original aluminum-frame sliding doors and non-impact windows now 30 – 40 years old. Intense UV, high humidity, and seasonal flooding on low-lying ranch lots have corroded frames and failed seals. Contractors routinely find a patchwork: some post-Andrew impact upgrades mixed with original non-impact units, often with custom rough-opening sizes that were framed for the original build. Off-the-shelf impact units almost never fit. Every job starts with precise field measurements and custom fabrication.
Our Main Southwest Ranches Services
These are the three services Southwest Ranches homeowners call us about most often.
Window Replacement in Southwest Ranches
We remove failing original aluminum-frame units and install NOA-certified impact replacements sized to the existing rough opening. In Southwest Ranches, that often means custom-fabricated vinyl or aluminum-clad frames for openings that were never standard to begin with. We protect floors with drop cloths, use pet-safe sealants where there’s a choice, and send a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. Window Replacement in Southwest Ranches
Window Installation in Southwest Ranches
New construction and additions on equestrian lots need windows that match the estate scale, great-room sightlines, and strict HVHZ code. We measure twice, fabricate to order from our PGT and CGI lines, and coordinate with your builder’s rough-in schedule. Our C.A.R.E. values mean we ask before moving anything, respect quiet hours for kids and animals, and explain the written price before the first tool comes out.

Door Installation in Southwest Ranches
Twelve-foot sliding glass wall systems, oversized garage doors, and custom entry units are common here. We install Therma-Tru and ViewLux entry systems plus multi-panel sliding doors from PGT and CGI, all with full NOA documentation for permit approval. Large-format door installation demands precision shimming, structural attachment to estate-grade framing, and careful protection of interior finishes during the work.

What Southwest Ranches Customers Say
"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."
- Mia Donnelly"Quiet, considerate install of several windows. They cleaned the glass and the sills and vacuumed every room. You'd never know a crew had been through. House is quieter and brighter."
- Brent Sakamoto"New patio slider. Clean install, they protected the floor and hauled off the old door. Quiet, polite crew that worked around my work calls without complaint."
