Frequently Asked Questions - Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach, FL
Straight answers to the questions Pompano Beach homeowners ask us most about window and door work. If you don't see your question here, call (863) 591-8673 and we'll talk it through.
Pricing & Cost FAQs
Full-frame window replacement in Pompano Beach typically runs $650 to $1,200 per window installed, with impact-rated glass at the higher end of that range. The final number depends on the window size, frame material, glass package, and whether the opening needs repair once the old window comes out. Salt air near the Intracoastal and Atlantic makes corrosion-resistant frames worth the extra cost. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what each option costs before you choose. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free written estimate with line-item pricing.
Hurricane impact windows in Pompano Beach generally cost $850 to $1,800 per window installed, depending on size and the specific impact rating. Pompano Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, so impact glazing here isn't an upgrade, it's the standard that meets Florida Building Code. The investment pays back through lower windstorm insurance premiums and real protection during a storm. We carry impact lines from PGT and CGI, both Florida manufacturers that test their glass to Miami-Dade standards. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll price your openings with both brands so you can compare.
A new front door in Pompano Beach typically costs $1,200 to $4,500 installed, with the spread driven by material, glass options, and whether you need a full frame replacement or just a slab swap. Fiberglass doors handle Pompano's humidity and salt air better than wood and don't swell in the wet season. Steel doors give you more security for less money but show salt corrosion sooner near the beach. We measure the existing opening twice, quote your options in writing, and register the manufacturer warranty before our truck leaves your driveway. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate.
Sliding glass door replacement in Pompano Beach runs $1,800 to $5,000 installed, with impact-rated sliders at the top of that range. The track system matters more than homeowners expect, and cheap rollers fail fast in sandy coastal conditions. We replace the entire unit including the track, not just the panels, so the door opens smoothly for years. If your current slider binds, sticks, or lets in drafts, the frame is likely out of true. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll measure, quote, and give you a straight answer on whether you need a repair or a full replacement.
Yes, estimates are free. We measure every opening twice, walk the job with you, and hand you a written quote with line-item pricing before any work begins. There's no charge for the visit and no pressure to sign the same day. The quote shows manufacturer lines side by side so you can see exactly what each option costs. Call (863) 591-8673 to schedule your free estimate. We'll be there when we say we will.
No. We quote fixed pricing with no change orders unless you ask for something different mid-job. Once you approve the written estimate, that's the number. If we open a wall and find hidden damage, we stop, show you what we found, and give you a written price for the extra work before we touch it. You'll never get a surprise on the bill. Dale Kessler's rule applies here: no surprises, no arguing. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate you can take to the bank.
Service & Process FAQs
We start with a free in-home measurement where we check every opening for square, plumb, and any hidden damage. Then we quote your options in writing, manufacturer lines side by side. Once you approve, we order the glass and schedule the install. On installation day, our crew removes the old unit, repairs any framing that needs it, sets the new window true, seals it, and registers both warranty layers before leaving. Most full-home window replacements in Pompano Beach take 2 to 5 days. Call (863) 591-8673 to get started.
Most single-room window replacements take one day. A full house of 10 to 20 windows takes 2 to 5 days, depending on how much framing repair the existing openings need. Sliding glass doors and entry doors are usually same-day installs. Florida's wet season can add a day or two if we're working around afternoon storms. We'll give you a schedule in writing before we start, and we'll be there when we say. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate and timeline.
Yes, we pull permits for any job that requires them under Florida Building Code and Pompano Beach city requirements. Impact window and door replacement in a high-velocity hurricane zone almost always requires a permit and inspection. We handle the paperwork, schedule the inspections, and make sure the job passes before we call it done. No shortcuts, no skipping the building department, no surprises on the bill. Call (863) 591-8673 to ask about your specific project. If it needs a permit, we pull it.
Move furniture and wall hangings at least six feet back from each window we're replacing, clear the walkways to those openings, and remove curtains or blinds before we arrive. We'll cover floors with drop cloths and clean up the work area each day. If you have landscaping outside the windows, trim back anything touching the glass so we have clean access. We'll walk you through the specifics when we schedule the job. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll send you a simple prep checklist with your written estimate.
You can do either, but replacing all windows at once saves money in most cases. We're already mobilized, the permit covers the whole job, and manufacturer pricing often drops at higher volume. Phased replacement works fine too, especially if you're budgeting, but you'll pay more per window and live through multiple installations. Many Pompano Beach homeowners phase their work starting with the storm-facing openings first. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll price both scenarios side by side so you can decide with real numbers.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux windows and doors. PGT and CGI are both Florida manufacturers that build impact-rated products tested to Miami-Dade standards, which matters in Pompano Beach's hurricane zone. CWS gives us strong vinyl options at a lower price point, and ViewLux covers specialty shapes and custom sizes. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what each option costs. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll help you match the right brand to your openings and your budget.
For Pompano Beach homes, yes. PGT and CGI manufacture impact-rated windows tested to survive hurricane-force wind and flying debris, which isn't just protection, it's a requirement under Florida Building Code for much of Pompano Beach. Both brands carry strong transferable warranties and have decades of Florida-specific engineering behind them. The premium over standard insulated glass is real, but so is the insurance discount and the fact that you won't be boarding up for every storm. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll quote both lines for your openings.
Usually yes. We can match frame material, glass package, grid pattern, and color on most replacement jobs, though exact matches get harder on windows older than 15 years. If the original line is discontinued, we'll find the closest current equivalent and show you side by side what the difference looks like before we order. We measure every opening twice, so the replacement fits the existing space true and square. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll tell you whether your window can be matched and what it'll cost.
Fiberglass is the best all-around door material for Pompano Beach. It doesn't swell, warp, or rot in humidity the way wood does, and it resists salt-air corrosion better than steel. It also takes paint and stain well if you want a wood look without the wood problems. Steel doors cost less and give strong security, but they'll show rust near the beach within a few years unless regularly maintained. We install fiberglass, steel, and wood doors and quote them side by side. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Yes. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state and local jurisdiction require. We carry liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we're happy to provide proof before we start your job. We also pull permits and pass inspections on every job that requires them under Florida Building Code. You're dealing with a real, established local business, not a fly-by-night crew. Call (863) 591-8673 and ask us anything about credentials. We'll show you the paperwork.
We install with our own local crews. The people who measure your openings are the same people who do the work and stand behind it. Our installers are trained to our standards, and they work under Dale Kessler's rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. You'll meet the crew on day one and know who's in your home. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll walk you through exactly who will be working on your house and their qualifications.
Yes, we carry workers' compensation insurance on every job. If someone gets hurt on your property, you're protected. Any legitimate contractor in Pompano Beach should be able to produce a workers' comp certificate on request, and we're glad to send ours before we start. It's part of working in your home the way we'd work in our own mother's, which is our standard. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll provide proof of coverage with your written estimate.
Emergency & Response FAQs
Yes. If a storm or a fallen branch takes out a window in Pompano Beach, we can board it up and schedule the permanent replacement. Call us at (863) 591-8673 during our business hours, Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, and we'll get you on our schedule as quickly as possible. A broken window in Florida's wet season isn't something to leave open, even with a tarp. We'll make the opening secure and then give you a written quote for the proper replacement.
First, keep people and pets away from the broken glass. Cover the opening with a tarp or heavy plastic from the inside if you can do so safely, and don't try to remove shattered glass from the frame. Call (863) 591-8673 during our business hours, Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM and weekends 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, and we'll schedule a board-up and replacement. A broken window in Pompano Beach lets in rain, humidity, and pests fast, so we'll get you on the schedule as quickly as our current work allows.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
You get two layers of warranty, both in writing with the durations stated. The first is the manufacturer's warranty on the window or door itself, which covers glass seal failure, frame defects, and hardware. The second is our workmanship warranty: 90 days on our installation, no arguing. We register both layers before the truck leaves your driveway, so the coverage is active from day one. This is the Keystone Standard, applied to every window and door we install. Call (863) 591-8673 for the specifics on any product line.
Yes. The Keystone Standard, applied to windows and doors: both warranty layers in writing, durations stated, 90 days on our workmanship, no arguing. If something we installed isn't right, we come back and fix it. No paperwork runaround, no finger-pointing at the manufacturer, no disappearing contractor. That's the whole reason the company exists. Dale Kessler keeps a level in his truck door and a rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (863) 591-8673 and put us to work.
Many manufacturer warranties we install, including PGT and CGI product lines, are transferable to a new homeowner, which adds real value when you sell. The transfer usually needs to be filed within a certain window after the sale, and there's sometimes a small processing fee. We'll give you the warranty documents and transfer instructions with your job paperwork so you have everything in one place. Call (863) 591-8673 and we'll walk you through the specifics for your product line.
