Impact Replacements That Pay You Back
Impact window replacement in Fort Lauderdale is one of the most consequential home improvement projects available to South Florida property owners — replacing aging, non-impact windows with hurricane-rated, energy-efficient impact glass that protects the home, lowers insurance premiums, reduces energy bills, and eliminates the pre-storm shutter installation routine that non-impact homes require. In Fort Lauderdale's current real estate and insurance market, non-impact windows are increasingly a financial liability — driving up insurance costs, reducing property appeal, and leaving the building vulnerable during the storms that South Florida's climate reliably delivers. At Planet Construction FL, we replace non-impact windows throughout Broward County with code-compliant impact products that solve all of these problems at once.
Old Windows Cost You Money Every Month
The Planet Construction Approach
Pre-impact and worn-out windows leak conditioned air, let in heat, fail hurricane requirements, and cost you on insurance premiums every year. The longer you wait to replace them, the more you pay in energy bills, premiums, and storm risk.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

Call (754) 301-6747How long does whole-home impact window replacement take?
Installation of a typical Fort Lauderdale home with 12–20 windows takes 2–4 days for the physical installation work. The full project timeline from contract to installation completion — including permit approval and product fabrication — is typically 8–14 weeks. We provide a project schedule at the time of contract so the timeline is clearly understood from the start.
Will new impact windows match my existing windows?
In most Fort Lauderdale homes, the entire window complement is replaced at once, so aesthetic matching of individual windows is not a concern — all windows will be the new product. Where phased replacement is planned — replacing some windows now and others later — we document the product specifications for the initial installation so future phases can match exactly. Frame color matching is straightforward — all major manufacturers offer white, bronze, and dark bronze finishes that represent the most common Fort Lauderdale window colors.
Can impact windows replace all my hurricane protection needs?
Impact windows and doors that cover all openings — including the garage door — provide code-compliant hurricane protection without any supplemental shutters. If even one opening remains non-impact (a non-rated garage door, for example), the wind mitigation insurance credit may be affected because the requirements typically require all openings to be compliant. We review every opening in the home to confirm complete coverage as part of the replacement project scope.
