How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Pompano Beach?
Window replacement in Pompano Beach typically runs $4,500-$15,000 for a full-home project, with most 1,200-1,800 square foot CBS homes falling in the $6,500-$9,500 range. Most jobs take 2-4 days from permit approval to final inspection, though HVHZ compliance and hidden steel lintel corrosion can extend that timeline.

The Way We Replace Windows - Start to Finish
We’ve refined this into five clear stages so you know what’s happening and when you need to make decisions.
Stage 1: Site assessment and spec lock (1-2 hours on-site)
We measure every opening, check existing frame condition, and photograph steel lintels and surrounding block. This is where we catch what permits will expose. You’ll decide on frame material, impact rating, and finish color here. We bring sample boards from our Windows & Doors crew so you’re not guessing from a catalog.
Stage 2: Permits and HVHZ documentation (5-10 business days)
Pompano Beach sits in Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every window replacement permit requires Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval numbers, wind-pressure calculations, and flashing details. We handle the submittal, but you’ll see the permit cost on your estimate. If the inspector flags compromised steel lintels - common in 33064 and 33065 homes built 1965-1985 - we pause and scope the repair before ordering windows.
Stage 3: Ordering and lead time (2-6 weeks)
Standard vinyl double-hungs from our regular suppliers arrive in 2-3 weeks. Custom sizes, architectural-grade aluminum, or specialized coastal finishes push toward 5-6 weeks. We don’t order until you’ve approved the final shop drawings, because “built to spec, not to convenience” means zero surprises on delivery day.
Stage 4: Demo and installation (1-3 days)
Crews remove existing sashes and frames, repair or replace rotted wood bucks and corroded steel lintels, install new windows with HVHZ-approved fasteners and flashing tape, then seal with coastal-grade silicone. A typical 8-12 window home takes 2 days. Homes with spalled block from rusted lintels add a day for masonry repair.
Stage 5: Inspection and finish (same day or next)
Broward County inspects for proper fastening pattern, flashing integration, and impact-label verification. We pass the green tag, then install interior trim and exterior caulking. You do a walk-through with the lead carpenter before we consider it closed.
The Window Choices That Actually Matter
Every replacement forces a decision on four specs. Here’s where homeowners in Pompano Beach typically land:
- Vinyl frames vs. aluminum-clad wood: Vinyl runs 15-25% less, never needs painting, and handles salt air well. Aluminum-clad wood gives thinner sightlines and better architectural authenticity on mid-century homes near the Intracoastal, but the wood core demands vigilant caulking maintenance in this humidity. Most 33064-33067 tract homes go vinyl; eastern corridor renovations often spec aluminum-clad.
- Impact-rated vs. non-impact with shutters: HVHZ rules effectively require impact-rated glass for most replacements, but some western Pompano Beach homes with existing code-compliant shutter systems can use non-impact and save $80-$150 per opening. We check your shutter documentation before spec’ing.
- Single-hung vs. casement vs. horizontal roller: Single-hungs are cheapest and most common. Casements seal tighter against wind-driven rain - relevant on east-facing walls along A1A - but cost more and need clearance for the crank swing. Horizontal rollers suit wide openings but have more moving parts to maintain in salt air.
- Standard glass vs. Low-E with argon: Low-E coatings cut cooling loads 10-15% in south-facing rooms. In Pompano Beach’s climate, that pays back in 4-6 years. We spec it as baseline on anything we do.
What Window Replacement Costs in Pompano Beach, FL
| Project Scope | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Partial replacement (3-5 windows) | $2,800-$5,500 |
| Full-home vinyl, standard sizes | $6,500-$9,500 |
| Full-home with aluminum-clad or custom sizing | $9,500-$15,000 |
| Add masonry lintel repair (per opening) | $400-$1,200 |
| Permit and HVHZ documentation | $350-$650 |
Five variables push you to the high or low end:
Opening count and size: More windows, more cost - but per-unit pricing drops at volume. A 15-window job often costs less per opening than a 4-window job.
Existing frame condition: Original 1970s aluminum frames in western Pompano Beach usually come out clean. Steel lintels with stage-three corrosion require block repair before the new window goes in. We’ve seen $3,000 jobs become $6,500 jobs once the inspector sees spalled block.
Impact rating tier: Large missile (HVHZ standard) vs. small missile approval, and design pressure rating. Higher DP ratings for taller buildings or exposed coastal sites add cost.
Interior trim complexity: Matching existing Craftsman or mid-century trim profiles takes carpentry time. Standard ranch-style drywall returns go faster.
Accessibility: Second-story openings over concrete patios, common in 33066 split-levels, need scaffolding or boom access. Ground-floor replacements on slab homes are simplest.
Our written estimates include windows, installation, permits, standard trim, and debris haul-away. They don’t include interior painting, landscape repair, or unforeseen structural remediation - though we flag likely issues during assessment so you’re not blindsided.
What Pompano Beach Homes Specifically Do to This Job
The housing stock here creates a pattern we don’t see in Coconut Creek or Parkland.
West of Dixie Highway, in ZIP codes like 33064 and 33065, we’re working on 1,100-1,500 square foot CBS tract homes built 1968-1983. The original steel lintels over windows have been breathing salt air for 40-50 years. They look fine from the street. Pull the window, and the flaking rust tells a different story. Because Pompano Beach enforces HVHZ inspection on every replacement permit, this hidden damage gets flagged before the new window goes in - not after. That’s good for the home’s structural integrity, but it means budgeting 10-20% contingency for masonry repair is prudent on anything pre-1990.
The eastern coastal strip, particularly around 33062, mixes aging oceanfront mid-rise condos with newer construction. Condo window replacement here involves HOA architectural review, coastal setback compliance, and often crane access. The permitting path differs entirely from single-family residential, and we coordinate with association managers and Broward’s coastal engineering division from day one.
Meanwhile, the CRA redevelopment along Atlantic Boulevard is pushing some homeowners to upgrade windows as part of broader renovations that increase property value ahead of area appreciation. We’ve had clients in the 33067 corridor pair window replacement with Vinyl Fence in Pompano Beach or Aluminum Fence in Pompano Beach to complete the exterior envelope refresh in one coordinated project.
The salt air and humidity are relentless. We spec stainless steel fasteners and coastal-grade sealants as standard, not upgrades. Anything less fails prematurely here.

Frequently Asked - Window Replacement in Pompano Beach
Most full-home jobs finish in 2-4 days of actual installation, but permit approval adds 5-10 business days and custom window lead times run 2-6 weeks. If steel lintel repair is needed - common in 33064 and 33065 homes - add 1-2 days. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific home.
Yes. Every window replacement in Pompano Beach requires a Broward County permit because the entire city is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The permit triggers HVHZ inspection for impact rating, fastening, and flashing. We handle the application, but the permit fee ($350-$650) appears on your estimate.
Window replacement rarely requires moving plumbing or electrical, unless your existing windows are integrated with baseboard heating runs or exterior light fixtures mounted in the frame. We assess this during measurement. If relocation is needed, we coordinate it as part of the Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach scope rather than handing you off to another contractor.
Repairing fogged glass or broken balances costs $150-$400 per window, but doesn’t address frame corrosion, air infiltration, or HVHZ compliance. For homes with original 1970s-1980s aluminum windows - most of what we see west of Dixie Highway - replacement is usually the better investment, especially with insurance companies pushing wind-mitigation upgrades. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free assessment of repair vs. replace for your specific situation.
Window manufacturers typically warranty glass seal failure for 10-20 years and frame components for limited lifetime. Our installation workmanship is warranted for the period we specify in your written contract. We don’t promise coverage we can’t deliver - every warranty term is documented before work begins.
