New Windows, Planned One Opening at a Time
In Broward, replacing a window is not only a question of style. Every exterior window has to carry a product approval for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which is how Florida's building code treats Broward and Miami-Dade. So the window you pick has to be one the code allows here, not just one you like.
That changes the order of the job. Picking the frame color comes last. First comes measuring every opening, checking how the old window is set into the wall, and confirming that the new one is approved for the size and the place it is going.
That is the part we take on. We measure and number each opening, read the approval of the product before it is ordered, handle the permit, and coordinate the installer, the stucco and the paint, so the wall around each new window looks finished, not patched.
When Replacing Your Windows Makes Sense
Window replacement makes sense when the problem is the window itself, not a part you can swap.
The frames are failing. Aluminum that is pitted, corners that let water in after a storm, a sash that no longer closes tight against the frame. When the frame is the problem, new hardware does not fix it.
You still put up shutters every season. Panels in the garage, tracks above every window, a weekend of work each time a storm is coming. Impact windows are one way to stop doing that.
The glass fogs or the seals are gone. Moisture between two panes means the seal has failed. On some products the glass can be swapped. On others the whole unit is the fix. We check which one you have before we quote.
The house is hot near the glass. Old single-pane windows let in heat all afternoon. Newer glass changes how a room feels, and how hard the air conditioner works to keep it there.
You are already redoing the outside. New paint, new stucco or new siding is the cheapest moment to change windows, because the wall around each opening gets finished once instead of twice.
When a New Window Is Not the Answer
If the problem is a hardware piece that can be repaired and the window still does its job, replacing the whole unit may be more than you need. A broken latch, a worn balance or a loose crank can often be fixed for far less. We look at that first, and if a repair is the honest answer, we say so before there is a scope to sign.
Three Ways to Approach Window Replacement
How you replace your windows depends on how many openings bother you, whether any of them should change size, and what style each room needs.
Same opening, new window. The old unit comes out, the opening is checked and prepared, and a new window of the same size goes in. It is the simplest version, and the one that disturbs the wall the least. Single-hung, horizontal sliders, casements and fixed picture windows can all go into an opening like this. The style is your choice, as long as the product is approved for the size and the wind exposure of that opening.
A different size or style. A bigger window in the living room, a casement where a slider used to be, a picture window that lets in more of the yard. Changing the size means changing the wall. On a concrete block house that is real structural work, with new stucco and paint around the opening, and it needs its own drawings in the permit. We tell you at the visit which openings can change easily and which ones would cost more than they are worth.
One room, one side or the whole house. Some owners start with the side that takes the afternoon sun, or the bedrooms. Others replace everything at once and stop putting up shutters for good. Doing every opening in one project usually means one permit, one product order and one round of stucco and paint, instead of three. Doing it in stages spreads the cost. Either way, the written scope lists every opening by number, what goes in it, and what is not included.
What the Town Asks For Before a Window Comes Out
Before a window comes out in Davie, the Town wants to see the whole house on paper. The Building Division's windows and doors permit checklist sends the application through one review stop, Structural. To pass it, the permit needs a drawing of the floor plan with every opening numbered, along with the length and width and the mean roof height. It also needs the product approvals, called NOAs, from the point of purchase, the window and door installation form, and the Broward County Wind Load Chart.
That list decides how we work. The numbers on the floor plan are the same numbers we use at the visit, on the written scope and on the product order, so window 7 on the permit is window 7 in your bedroom and window 7 on the delivery. The NOA we attach is the one for the product actually being bought, not a sample from a catalog. When a product or a size changes after the permit is filed, the paperwork changes with it before the window goes in.

How a Window Replacement Runs
- The visit. We walk the house with you, open and close every window you want to change, and look at the frames, the sills and the stucco around each one.
- Measuring and numbering. Every opening gets measured and a number. That number follows the window through the scope, the permit and the order.
- The written proposal. Each opening, the product and style for it, the work around it, the exclusions, the payment terms and an estimated schedule that counts the permit and the product lead time, not only the days of work.
- Product approval and permit. We read the approval of each product before it is ordered and confirm it covers the size and the location. Then we file the permit with the floor plan and the approvals attached. If you live in an HOA, its approval is a separate step, and we list it.
- Removal and installation. The old window comes out, the opening is checked and prepared, and the new one is set and fastened the way its approval describes. If the wall shows damage behind the old frame, you see it and approve the repair in writing before it goes ahead.
- Stucco, sealing and paint. The outside of each opening is finished and sealed, and the inside trim is repaired and painted.
- Inspection and walkthrough. The Town inspects the installation. Then we go through every window with you, open each one, and hand you the warranty papers.
What Window Replacement Costs Around Davie
One Broward impact-window contractor's 2026 pricing puts an impact-rated single-hung window, installed, at $900 to $1,800 per opening in the Fort Lauderdale area. That is their range for that one kind of window, not our price, and it does not describe a slider, a casement or a large picture window.
What moves the price of your project is the same list every time:
The size and style of each opening. A single-hung window in a standard bedroom opening is the simplest case. Large openings, casements and fixed picture windows are different products with different prices.
The glass. Tint, coatings and the type of laminated glass all change the price, and they change how the room feels in the afternoon.
Whether any opening changes size. Cutting block or framing a new opening adds structural work, stucco and paint. Keeping the openings as they are saves more than any finish choice.
What sits behind the old frame. Rot, rust or old water damage around an opening has to be repaired before a new window goes in. We price that before work starts, not after.
How many openings go in one project. One permit and one round of stucco and paint for the whole house usually costs less per opening than three separate jobs.
The visit and the written estimate are free. You get a price after we have measured every opening, with each line spelled out, and nothing is added without your written approval.
Why Homeowners Hand Us Their Windows
A window replacement goes wrong in small places: a product that turns out not to be approved for that opening, a measurement that is off, stucco left rough around a brand-new frame.
Every opening numbered. The same number on the scope, the permit and the order, so the right window ends up in the right wall.
The approval read before we order. We do not order on a sales sheet. We check the document for the size and the location first.
One project contact. You know who answers your call and who coordinates the installer, the stucco and the paint. That person does not change halfway through.
Changes in writing first. If an opening shows damage, you see the price and the effect on the schedule before anything moves.
A written warranty. One year on our workmanship from the day we finish, plus what the manufacturer gives you on the window. General Contractor Davie is part of Gaven Constructions.

Permits and Inspections in Davie
Which approval counts here. The state's product approval FAQ for building codes lists windows among the products the system covers. It also draws a line that matters in Broward: a Miami-Dade approval is a local one and only works in Miami-Dade, while a state approval marked for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone can be used here. We check which one your window carries before it is ordered.
Permit and HOA, two approvals. Replacing windows goes through the Town's Building Division. If you live in an HOA, the association may also want to approve the style or the frame color. We list both in the proposal.
Who signs your contract. The contract names the company doing the work and the license behind it, so you know who answers for the job.
FAQ
Window Replacement Questions From Davie Homeowners
How much does window replacement cost in Davie?
One Broward impact-window contractor's 2026 pricing puts an impact-rated single-hung window at $900 to $1,800 per opening, installed. Other styles and sizes fall outside that range. We price your windows in writing after a free visit.
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Davie?
Yes. Window replacement goes through the Town's Building Division, with a floor plan that numbers every opening and the product approvals attached. We file it, and we list any HOA approval separately.
Can I replace just the glass in a window in Davie?
Sometimes. It depends on the product and on what its approval allows. On some windows a failed pane can be swapped. On others the whole unit is the fix. We check yours before we quote either one.
Are replacement windows in Davie installed from the inside or the outside?
It depends on how the old window is set into the wall and on the installation instructions in the new window's approval. What matters more is that every fastener goes where that document says. We follow it on each opening.
Do you have to break the stucco to replace windows in my Davie home?
Often a little, around the edge of each opening, so the old frame can come out and the new one can be sealed. We patch, seal and paint that edge as part of the scope, so it does not become a separate job.
How long does window replacement take in Davie?
It depends on how many openings are in the scope, how long the product takes to arrive and how long the permit takes. The written proposal gives you an estimated schedule that counts all three.
What holds a new impact window in place in a Davie house?
Fasteners into the wall and sealant around the frame, placed the way the product's approval and installation instructions describe. Those instructions change from one product to another, which is why we read them before ordering, and the Town's inspection looks at the result.
Window replacement is one of the jobs we coordinate as a general contractor in Davie, with every opening on one written scope.
