Windows & Doors Before & After in Pembroke Pines, FL

Photos don’t stretch the truth. In fifteen years of installing windows and doors across Broward County, we’ve learned that a homeowner’s best decision usually comes after they’ve seen what the work actually looks like finished. This page collects the transformations we’ve documented, every one with the photo record the customer received and the written price we agreed to before we started.

Recent Transformations

Impact Window Replacement: SilverLakes Single-Family Home

The homeowner bought in 2019 knowing the original 1994 aluminum windows were tired, but Hurricane Ian’s outer bands pushed water through the failing sill seals and convinced them to stop patching. We measured every opening with a laser sightline tool, specified PGT WinGuard vinyl impact-rated units with a 0.30 U-factor and 0.23 SHGC for the west-facing rear wall, and wrote the price at $14,200 before anyone touched a frame. The crew found rot in two studs at the master bedroom header, documented it with photos, and replaced the lumber without a change order because we’d specified “conditions hidden by existing trim” in the written scope. The photo record shows the glazing bead detail and the finished caulk line; the customer keeps the measured survey with every rough opening dimension we recorded.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement: Chapel Trail Patio Opening

This Chapel Trail homeowner had been living with a sliding door that fought back for three years. The aluminum track was corroded through in two spots, the insulated glass units had failed at the edges, and the screen frame had been bent from the force needed to move the panel. We specified a CWS 7800 series sliding patio door with a stainless steel monorail track and Low-E laminated glazing rated for impact, wrote the price at $4,850, and scheduled around the homeowner’s work-from-home hours. The original opening was out of square by 3/8 inch across the header; we shimmed the frame plumb and documented the laser level reading in the photo record. The door now moves on two fingers. The customer brought us a competitor’s quote at $3,900; our free second opinion showed that quote specified non-impact glass with no mention of permit or inspection, which in Pembroke Pines would have stopped the job at rough-in.

Energy-Efficient Window Install: Pembroke Lakes Country Club Condo

A Pembroke Lakes Country Club condo owner called in January with condensation running down the interior of their single-pane aluminum windows every morning. The building’s 1987 original windows had no thermal break, and the HOA required white vinyl with a specific sightline profile to match the complex. We specified ECO Window Systems double-pane vinyl with Low-E coating and argon gas fill, hitting a 0.28 U-factor that the HOA’s architectural committee approved in one review. Written price: $6,400 for eight openings. The crew worked within the HOA’s Tuesday-Thursday construction window, protected the common hallway with masonite, and left a photo record showing the weep hole detail and the sealed exterior perimeters. The customer’s FPL bill dropped $38 the first month. We don’t promise savings figures because every unit’s HVAC condition differs, but we do promise the documented spec: what we wrote is what we installed.

Impact Garage Door Replacement: TownGate Townhome

A TownGate townhome owner backed into their garage door in March, denting the center panel and discovering in the process that the original 2006 door had no wind load rating. Their insurance company required impact-rated replacement to maintain coverage after a reinspection. We specified a Mr-Glass impact-rated steel sectional door with 14-gauge reinforcement struts and a heavy-duty 12-gauge track system, wrote the price at $3,150 including permit and inspection, and pulled the Pembroke Pines building permit the same day the customer signed. The original opener was a 1/2-horsepower unit at its weight limit; we noted this in the measured survey and recommended the upgrade to a 3/4-horsepower operator, which the customer approved as a separate line item. The door passed inspection on the first visit. The photo record shows the wind load sticker placement and the reinforced jamb attachment, which the inspector specifically checked.

Custom Geometric Window: Sunset Lakes Accent Feature

A Sunset Lakes homeowner had lived with a plywood-filled trapezoid opening above their entry door for eleven months after the original geometric window’s seal failed and the glass delaminated. Three companies had declined the job because the sightline profile needed to match the adjacent rectangular units, and the angle was non-standard at 72 degrees. We templated the opening with a digital measuring system, sent the file to ViewLux for custom fabrication in their impact-rated geometric line, and wrote the price at $2,800 with an eight-week lead time noted in the scope. The custom unit arrived with the sightline dimension within 1/16 inch of the adjacent windows, which mattered because the homeowner’s HOA enforces visual uniformity from the street. We documented the template, the crated arrival, and the finished installation with the photo record. The customer said they’d stopped using their front door because the plywood embarrassed them; they use it now.

Full-House Window & Door Package: Riviera Isles Renovation

This Riviera Isles homeowner had accumulated a patchwork: original 2002 vinyl windows in front, a 2014 replacement in the kitchen that didn’t match, and an entry door that had been painted four times to hide fiberglass deterioration. They wanted one coherent system with one warranty and one phone number. We measured twenty-three openings, specified PGT WinGuard throughout with a consistent sightline and frame depth, and added a Therma-Tru fiberglass entry door with a full sidelite because the original steel door was rusting at the bottom from sprinkler contact. Written price: $31,500. The job took four days; we specified the sequence in the written scope so the customer could secure the house each night. The crew found that the kitchen replacement had been installed without flashing tape at the head, which explained the interior drywall stain the homeowner had attributed to a roof leak. We flashed it correctly, documented the repair, and did not charge additional because the written scope included “correct conditions exposed during removal.” The photo record runs 147 images. The customer has the measured survey, the written scope, the photo record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the job folder.
