Impact Windows and Doors Built for Florida
Window and door installation in Fort Lauderdale is one of the most impactful home and building improvements you can make in South Florida — and one where the stakes are uniquely high. Fort Lauderdale sits squarely in hurricane country, and every window and door in your building is a potential point of failure during a storm. At Planet Construction FL, we install impact-rated windows and doors for residential, commercial, and condominium properties throughout Broward County — providing hurricane protection, energy savings, noise reduction, and the curb appeal upgrade that quality windows and doors always deliver.
Florida Demands More From Every Window and Door
The Planet Construction Approach
South Florida windows and doors aren't optional upgrades — they're code-required protection against hurricanes, sun, heat, and salt air. The wrong product, the wrong installer, or the wrong permit paperwork can mean failed inspections, voided insurance discounts, and storm damage that should never have happened. Most window and door failures trace back to bad installs, not bad products.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Call us for project-specific information and a free consultation.
Call (754) 301-6747Do I need a permit for window replacement in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes — window and door replacement in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County requires a building permit. The permit process includes submission of the product's Notice of Acceptance (NOA) documentation, confirmation that the product meets the design pressure requirements for the building's location, and a final building department inspection after installation is complete. Planet Construction FL handles the entire permit process — from application through final inspection sign-off — as part of every window and door installation project.
How long does window and door installation take?
A typical residential window replacement project — replacing 8–15 windows — takes 2–3 days for installation. Single door replacements take 4–8 hours. The timeline is extended by permit approval waiting periods — typically 2–4 weeks in Fort Lauderdale — which occur before installation begins. We order products after permit approval to ensure the installed products exactly match the approved NOA documentation.
What is the difference between impact windows and hurricane shutters?
Impact windows provide continuous, permanent hurricane protection without any action required before a storm — the laminated glass and reinforced frame protect the opening 365 days a year. Hurricane shutters provide equivalent protection but must be deployed before each storm event — requiring physical effort and advance warning time. Impact windows are the preferred solution for full-time residents and occupied commercial buildings. Shutters are a cost-effective alternative for seasonal properties or where budget constraints make shutters a more accessible entry point to hurricane protection.
Will new impact windows reduce my homeowner's insurance?
In most cases, yes — significantly. Florida's wind mitigation credit program provides insurance premium discounts for homes with impact-rated openings. The discount amount depends on your insurer and policy structure, but windstorm premium reductions of 15–30% are common in Broward County. We provide the documentation — product NOAs, installation photos, and permit completion records — that your insurance company requires to apply the wind mitigation credit. Many homeowners find the insurance savings alone justify a significant portion of the installation cost.
