AfterHow Much Does Custom Window & Door Order Cost in Pompano Beach?
Custom window and door orders in Pompano Beach typically run $4,500 to $25,000 depending on whether you’re replacing a few windows, ordering impact-rated units for a full house, or speccing a custom entry door with sidelights and a transom. Most single-room window projects in this market land between $4,500 and $8,000 installed; whole-home impact window packages range from $8,000 to $25,000. A written price with a line-item scope is available before any work starts – that’s not a slogan, it’s how every Rowan project opens.
Custom Window & Door Order Cost Breakdown (2026)
The table below reflects the Pompano Beach market as of 2026. Prices include materials, delivery, and standard installation labor. Permit fees, structural modifications, and impact-glass upgrades are called out separately so you can see exactly what drives the number.
| Scope | Typical Range (Installed) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single window replacement (standard) | $450 - $900 | Per unit, vinyl or aluminum, non-impact |
| Single impact window (PGT, CGI, Simonton) | $800 - $1,800 | Per unit; laminated glass, reinforced frame |
| Whole-home window replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 | 8-15 windows; non-impact vinyl or aluminum |
| Whole-home impact window installation | $8,000 - $25,000 | Per Florida Building Code; most Pompano homeowners need this |
| Custom entry door (single, pre-hung) | $1,200 - $3,500 | Fiberglass or steel; standard sizing |
| Custom entry door with sidelights/transom | $2,800 - $7,500 | Impact-rated glass required in most Pompano Beach zones |
| French or sliding patio door (impact) | $2,200 - $6,000 | Per unit; aluminum or vinyl frame |
| Structural rough-opening modification | $600 - $2,500 | When enlarging or reducing an existing opening |
| Broward County permit (windows/doors) | $150 - $500 | Required on most replacements; pulled by Rowan |
| Stucco repair around new frame | $200 - $800 | Common on Pompano Beach block-construction homes |
What Pushes the Number Up
The single biggest variable in Pompano Beach is whether you need impact-rated units. Florida Building Code requires impact windows or an approved storm-shutter system in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone – most of Pompano Beach qualifies. Impact glass uses a laminated interlayer bonded between two panes, which raises the unit price by 30 to 60 percent compared to standard double-pane. Brands like PGT Innovations, CGI Windows & Doors, and Simonton each carry approved product listings under Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), and the NOA number has to appear on the permit application. Rowan’s quotes specify the NOA for every unit so there’s no ambiguity at inspection.
Frame material is the second lever. Aluminum frames dominate Pompano Beach and the broader South Florida coastal market because they resist the humidity, salt air off the Intracoastal, and the temperature cycling that warps wood frames within a few years here. Aluminum costs more than vinyl but holds a tighter seal longer in this climate – a fact that shows up in insurance quotes and appraisals. For most homes east of Federal Highway in Pompano, aluminum impact is the right spec.
Custom sizing adds lead time and cost. Off-the-shelf units ship in two to three weeks; true custom orders – odd rough openings, non-standard shapes, or specialty glass tints – run four to eight weeks depending on the manufacturer’s queue. We build that lead time into every project schedule so there are no surprises on the install date.
What Keeps the Number Down
Ordering multiple windows in a single purchase run usually triggers volume pricing from the manufacturer. On a full-house order of ten or more units, that discount can offset a meaningful share of the permit fee. Choosing a standard catalog size – even if the rough opening needs minor adjustment – costs less than a fully bespoke unit. And scheduling during late summer, when South Florida contractors are less booked, can shorten lead times without sacrificing the written price you agreed to.
What Affects Custom Window & Door Order Pricing in Pompano Beach
- Impact vs. non-impact glass: Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation means most Pompano Beach homes must use impact-rated products or approved shutters. Impact units cost more per window but often reduce homeowners insurance premiums enough to partially offset the investment over three to five years – ask your insurer for the exact credit before finalizing specs.
- Frame material – aluminum vs. vinyl vs. fiberglass: Aluminum is the dominant choice in coastal Pompano Beach because salt air degrades vinyl hardware faster here than it does 20 miles inland. Fiberglass frames carry the highest upfront cost but the lowest long-term maintenance in high-humidity environments. We name the material in the written scope so you’re comparing the same product, not just the same label.
- Opening size and structural work: Enlarging a window opening in a concrete block home – the most common construction type in central and east Pompano Beach neighborhoods like Cresthaven and Cypress Isles – requires cutting block, adding a lintel, and patching stucco. That work runs $600 to $2,500 per opening and needs to be on the permit. We won’t skip it to lower a bid number.
- Lead time and custom fabrication: Standard sizes ship in two to three weeks. Custom orders for non-rectangular openings, specialty glass, or high-end wood-clad frames take four to eight weeks. Projects that have to move fast – storm damage, insurance replacement – sometimes pay a rush-fabrication premium of 10 to 15 percent.
- Permit and inspection requirements: Broward County requires a permit for most window and door replacements, including like-for-like swaps if the unit is impact-rated. The permit fee is $150 to $500 depending on project value, and the inspection requires a licensed contractor of record. Rowan pulls the permit; the cost is in the written quote, not added later.
- Finish work after installation: On Pompano Beach block homes, new frames almost always need stucco touch-up or re-caulking around the perimeter. Interior trim repair is common too, especially when the rough opening needed adjustment. We include a finish-work line item in every quote so you’re not handed a separate invoice after the crew leaves.

AfterPompano Beach-Specific Factors Worth Knowing
East Pompano Beach properties – particularly those between the Intracoastal and the beach – sit inside Broward County’s coastal construction setback zone. That zone has additional requirements for fenestration (the trade term for windows and doors as a building system), including stricter water-infiltration ratings and sometimes additional structural anchoring at the rough opening. We’ve pulled permits in the zip codes 33060, 33062, and 33064 and know which inspectors look for which details. That knowledge is built into the project timeline, not learned on your job.
Older homes in neighborhoods like Cypress Cove and McNab often have single-pane jalousie windows – the louvered glass style that was common in Florida through the 1970s. Replacing jalousies with modern impact units typically requires rough-opening reconstruction because the original framing was built for a completely different product type. Budget an additional $400 to $900 per opening for framing and stucco when converting from jalousie.
Homeowners in Pompano Beach’s gated communities – places like Palm-Aire Country Club and Crystal Lake – often need HOA approval before ordering. The approval process can add two to six weeks to the project timeline. We’ve learned to request that the client submit for HOA review in parallel with the permit application so the two processes overlap rather than stack. It’s a scheduling detail that matters when you’re working with a four-to-eight-week fabrication lead time.
How to Save on Custom Window & Door Order in Pompano Beach
Bundle the Order
If you’re replacing windows in phases because of budget, consider whether consolidating into one order makes financial sense. Most manufacturers price a 10-unit order differently than two 5-unit orders, and the permit fee is often the same whether you’re doing six windows or twelve. One crew mobilization, one inspection, one permit close-out. The math usually favors doing it all at once if the budget allows.
Match the Spec to the Zone
Not every window in the house needs the same glass package. Interior windows that face a screened lanai, for example, may have a different code requirement than exposed street-facing units. We map each opening against the applicable code section before writing the quote – that sometimes reveals that two or three windows can be spec’d down without affecting the permit approval, which trims the total without cutting corners.
Get the Insurance Credit First
Broward County homeowners who upgrade to impact windows frequently receive a premium reduction from their wind insurer, sometimes significant enough to change the payback math. Get the credit figure in writing from your insurer before you finalize the order spec – in some cases it’s worth choosing a slightly higher-rated product because the insurance savings over five years outrun the upfront cost difference.
Bring a Competitor’s Quote
Rowan offers a free second opinion on any written estimate. Bring in a competitor’s quote and we’ll review it line by line – product spec, labor, permit, finish work – at no charge. The goal is to help you see whether the numbers are comparing the same product and scope, not to run the other quote down. A quote that leaves out stucco repair and permit fees looks cheaper until the invoice arrives.
Ask for the Written Price Before Anything Moves
Under the Haven Standard’s Clause 1, no work starts until you have a flat written price with a written scope. That’s not a selling point – it’s an administrative rule we’ve held since 2007. No change proceeds without a signed change order either. That discipline is why Rowan’s 4,000-plus projects have finished within a few percent of the number the client agreed to. Call (754) 714-6540 to get a written estimate – it costs nothing and there’s no obligation to proceed.
The Documented Record You Receive
Every Rowan visit includes a photo record of what was found and what was done – the existing frame condition, the rough opening dimensions, the installed unit, the stucco finish, and the permit inspection sign-off. That photo record is a standard deliverable, included in every project, not an upgrade. It matters for insurance claims, HOA documentation, and resale disclosure. When the crew leaves your Pompano Beach home, you have evidence, not just a memory of what happened.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every installation. If something isn’t right within a year – a seal failure, a hardware defect, a stucco crack at the frame – Rowan makes it right. The terms are in writing on every contract, not in an asterisk at the bottom of a brochure.
How Rowan Handles the Custom Order Process
Custom window and door orders move through four stages at Rowan: measurement, specification, permit, and installation. We take the field measurements ourselves – we don’t quote off dimensions a homeowner supplies, because a quarter-inch error in a custom rough opening is a factory rejection. The spec sheet names the manufacturer, model number, glass package, NOA number, and frame finish. The permit application goes to Broward County with that spec sheet attached. The installation happens after the permit is issued and the units arrive confirmed undamaged at our yard – not staged at your driveway the morning of installation.

FAQs – Custom Window & Door Order Cost in Pompano Beach
How much does a full-house impact window installation cost in Pompano Beach?
A whole-home impact window installation in Pompano Beach runs $8,000 to $25,000 installed, depending on the number of openings, frame material, and glass specification. A typical 1,500-square-foot home with 10 to 14 windows in the central Pompano Beach zip codes comes in between $10,000 and $18,000 for aluminum-frame impact units from brands like PGT or CGI. The permit, stucco touch-up, and interior trim work are included in that range when ordered as part of a single Rowan project. Call (754) 714-6540 for a written quote specific to your home’s layout – the estimate is free.
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Pompano Beach?
Yes. Broward County requires a permit for virtually all window and door replacements in Pompano Beach, including like-for-like swaps on impact-rated units. The permit fee runs $150 to $500 depending on project value, and the work must be inspected by a county inspector before the permit closes. Rowan pulls the permit as part of every job – the fee is in the written quote, not added after. A contractor who says you don’t need a permit for a window replacement in this jurisdiction is either wrong or hoping you don’t check.
How long does a custom window order take from order to installation in Pompano Beach?
Standard catalog sizes from PGT, CGI, or Simonton typically ship in two to three weeks. True custom orders – non-standard dimensions, specialty glass, or wood-clad frames – run four to eight weeks depending on the manufacturer’s production schedule. Add one to two weeks for permit issuance in Broward County. Total project timeline from signed contract to final inspection is usually five to ten weeks for a standard whole-home order. We build that timeline into the project schedule at the quoting stage so you know the install date before you sign anything.
Is it worth upgrading to impact windows in Pompano Beach for the insurance savings?
For most Pompano Beach homeowners, yes – but the math depends on your current insurer and policy. Wind insurance credits for impact windows in Broward County can reduce annual premiums by $500 to $2,000 or more depending on the home’s age, construction type, and coverage amount. At $1,000 per year in savings, a $12,000 impact window project has a 12-year payback before factoring in storm protection value or resale price. Get the exact credit figure from your insurer in writing before you finalize the order spec – it sometimes changes which glass package makes the most sense.
What’s included in Rowan’s custom window and door quote?
Every Rowan quote is a flat written price with a line-item scope that names the product (manufacturer, model, NOA number), labor, Broward County permit fee, stucco repair if needed, interior trim work if needed, and project timeline. Nothing is left as a TBD line. Under the Haven Standard, no work starts until you have that written price, and no change proceeds without a signed change order. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation from day one. Call (754) 714-6540 to request a written estimate – there’s no charge for the quote and no obligation to proceed.
