AfterWindow Company in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Meridian Windows & Doors is the window company Fort Lauderdale homeowners call when they want the job spec’d correctly for salt air, hurricane season, and houses built before modern wind codes existed. We replace windows, install new ones, and set patio doors across Broward County’s coastal neighborhoods, always with a written price before we cut a single opening. If you’re pricing out impact glass or a full retrofit, call (817) 686-2228 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homes Are Different
Fort Lauderdale is a saltwater city. The Intracoastal cuts through it, the Atlantic sits to the east, and that changes every window and door decision. Aluminum frames that would last decades inland corrode within years a few blocks from the beach unless they’re marine-grade or properly coated. Wood casings swell with June humidity, then shrink in January’s dry air. Homes in neighborhoods like Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, and Victoria Park were largely built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means original single-pane glass, non-impact rated frames, and rough openings that have shifted with decades of heat and settling. Newer construction in western Fort Lauderdale near I-595 or in Flagler Village tends to have newer framing but rarely came with high-performance glass from the builder. Wind load requirements from the Florida Building Code dictate everything we spec, and most HOAs in Fort Lauderdale require product approval before a crew arrives. We account for all of it before the price goes on paper.
Our Main Fort Lauderdale Services
Most calls to our Fort Lauderdale line start with one of two situations: blown seals or failed hardware on existing windows, or a patio door that no longer slides or locks. The service pages below explain each in detail.
Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale
Replacing windows in Fort Lauderdale almost always means pulling out and setting new units in existing openings, which keeps stucco, interior trim, and permits simpler. We measure rough openings precisely, because in older Fort Lauderdale homes those openings are rarely square after fifty years of thermal movement. We commonly replace failed single-pane units with impact-rated or laminated glass, and we pull permits when the structural code requires it. For a full breakdown of the process and pricing, see our Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale page.
Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Full window installation in Fort Lauderdale means new openings, new framing, and new flashing, not just swapping glass. This is where the work changes by neighborhood: an older home in Sailboat Bend or Tarpon River may have plaster returns and wood framing that need careful reframing, while a newer home in Imperial Point presents straightforward cut-outs. We spec the right product for the opening from our eight manufacturer lines and write the full scope out before work begins. Details are on our Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale page.
Patio Door Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Patio doors take more abuse in Fort Lauderdale than almost any other opening, because they face screened lanais, pools, and afternoon thunderstorms. We replace sliding glass, French, and hinged doors with units that meet wind load requirements and handle the daily humidity cycle. We also check the threshold, the track, and the flashing, because a Fort Lauderdale afternoon downpour will find any gap. Details are on our Patio Door Installation in Fort Lauderdale page.
