Fort Lauderdale's Window Replacement Specialists

Fort Lauderdale sits at the edge of the Atlantic with some of the most demanding weather exposure in Broward County. The waterfront communities along the New River, the isles off Las Olas, and the barrier island neighborhoods east of Federal Highway deal with wind-driven rain that exposes every weak point in a window or door installation. We've seen what happens when contractors skip steps — water behind the frame, staining, rot, and mold that doesn't show up until it's already a serious problem.

SunStorm Construction is based right here on E Las Olas Blvd. We pull permits through LauderBuild — Fort Lauderdale's Accela-based portal — and we know the city's inspection process well. Our work gets done to code the first time, inspections pass, and we don't disappear after the final walk-through. If your property has an HOA, we're familiar with the approval process for the isle communities and waterfront corridors where association rules are common.

What We Offer

Complete Hurricane Protection for Fort Lauderdale Homes

Impact windows Fort Lauderdale, FL

Impact Windows

Our impact windows meet Miami-Dade NOA standards and are installed with a three-step sealing process: we caulk under the wood buck and along the front lip before setting it, caulk the window flange before setting the glass unit, then seal around the exterior frame. Most crews skip the first two steps to save time. In Fort Lauderdale's waterfront environment, those skipped steps are how water gets behind a frame. We don't skip them. Frame colors available in white and bronze standard; black and wood grain as upgrades. Glass options include clear, gray tint, bronze tint, Low-E, and insulated double-pane.

Impact Garage Doors

Impact-rated garage doors are often the largest opening on a home and one of the most overlooked. We install garage doors approved under Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA, sized and anchored correctly for your specific opening. A properly rated garage door is one of the biggest factors in keeping your home's envelope intact during a storm.

Why SunStorm

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose SunStorm

01

We Know the Permitting Process

LauderBuild is thorough, and inspections in Fort Lauderdale are detailed. We've been through this process enough times to know what the inspectors look for and how to make sure your job passes without re-inspection delays.

02

A Three-Step Seal That Most Crews Skip

We caulk the buck, caulk the flange, then seal the exterior frame. In a waterfront city that gets hurricane-force wind-driven rain, those first two steps aren't optional. We treat them as standard.

Canal-front and waterfront communities in Fort Lauderdale often have active HOAs with specific approval requirements. We've done this before and can work alongside your HOA process without making it your problem.

04

Same Crew, Start to Finish

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to install impact windows in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. Impact window installation in Fort Lauderdale requires a building permit. Fort Lauderdale is in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), so all products must carry Miami-Dade NOA certification and permits must be pulled before work begins. SunStorm handles every submittal through LauderBuild from application to final inspection sign-off.

Is Fort Lauderdale in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ)?

Yes. Fort Lauderdale is within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. All impact windows, doors, and garage doors installed here must carry Miami-Dade NOA certification — standard Florida Product Approval alone is not sufficient. Every product SunStorm installs in Fort Lauderdale is Miami-Dade NOA certified.

How long does the permit and installation process take?

Permit review in Fort Lauderdale typically runs 10–20 business days depending on the building department's current workload. Once permits are approved and products arrive, installation is usually 3–5 days, or 1–2 weeks for larger estates. SunStorm tracks your permit status and keeps you updated throughout.

Will impact windows lower my homeowner's insurance?

In most cases, yes — significantly. Impact windows are a primary qualifying improvement for wind mitigation credits in Florida. After installation, your carrier will require a wind mitigation inspection report. SunStorm provides all supporting documentation: NOA listing, permit close-out records, and installation paperwork.

What's the difference between Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval?

Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) is the stricter product certification required in the HVHZ. It involves higher design pressure testing than standard Florida Product Approval (FL number). In Fort Lauderdale, Miami-Dade NOA is required — an FL number alone does not meet code. SunStorm only installs NOA-certified products in HVHZ jurisdictions.
