AfterWindow Company in Margate, FL
Window and door work in Margate comes down to two things: hurricane season and houses built mainly between the late 1950s and the 1980s. Most homes here were framed for aluminum single-pane windows that builders stopped installing decades ago. When we replace them, we’re correcting airflow, water intrusion points, and code gaps at the same time. If you need a straight answer on what your Margate project will cost, call (817) 686-2228 and we’ll put it in writing before any work starts.
Why Margate Homes Are Different
Margate sits a few miles inland from the coast, which changes the load calculations on every opening. Homes here get less salt spray than Pompano Beach but the same afternoon thunderstorms, and that means window flashing details matter more than the glass itself in a lot of cases. We see older ranches and split-levels with original jalousie windows, and we see 1990s builds with builder-grade sliders that have sagged over three decades of heat cycles.
The housing stock in neighborhoods like Margate Estates and the area east of State Road 7 is predominantly concrete block with stucco, which actually makes anchoring easier than wood-frame construction. The challenge is the old rough openings: many were cut to non-standard sizes in the 1970s, so a straight swap for a stock-size window isn’t always possible. We measure every opening ourselves and write the order off real dimensions, not builder assumptions.
Our Main Margate Services
Most Margate homeowners call us about two things: replacing windows that leak or won’t seal, and installing new windows or patio doors as part of a larger update. Here’s what each one involves in this city.
Window Replacement in Margate
Replacement means pulling an old window down to the rough opening and installing a new unit that fits correctly, seals correctly, and meets current wind-load requirements for Broward County. In Margate, many original windows were sized for non-impact single-pane glass, so the replacement often involves a slightly different frame depth than what was there. We spec the right product and walk you through what’s changing. Details are on the Window Replacement in Margate page.
Window Installation in Margate
Installation covers new openings or situations where the old frame, flashing, and surrounding drywall all need attention, not just the unit itself. Margate’s concrete block homes make this work predictable, but older stucco can hide moisture damage behind the sill. We inspect the opening before we quote so the written price covers what’s actually there. See the Window Installation in Margate page for specific options and what to expect.
Patio Door Installation in Margate
Patio doors in Margate take a beating from afternoon sun and storm season. Most replacements we do involve pulling an aluminum slider that’s worn to the point where the track is grooved and the lock no longer lines up. Installing a new door means squaring the opening, leveling the threshold, and anchoring the frame into the concrete slab properly. The Patio Door Installation in Margate page covers what’s involved and what it costs.

Brands We Service in Margate
We build Margate jobs from eight manufacturer lines, which means the product gets matched to the house rather than the other way around. On most single-family homes here, that means PGT or CGI impact-rated units, and on high-end remodels we’re often working with ES Windows or CWS. Parts and factory-direct ordering run through our brands page if you want specifics; local turnaround is typically two to four weeks once the opening measurements are locked.

What moves these numbers in Margate is the condition of the existing opening. Older stucco homes with water-damaged sills or rusted lintels run toward the top of each range because the repair work happens before the new unit goes in. Whatever the number is, it goes on paper before we start, and it does not move at the door.
