How Much Do Impact Windows Cost in South Florida?

Impact windows in South Florida typically cost between $500 and $1,500 per window installed, and a full home with 15 to 20 windows usually lands between $12,000 and $30,000 before any discounts. The exact number depends on the size and style of each opening, the frame material, the glass, and the wind zone your home sits in. Here is how the pricing works and what moves the number up or down.

Typical installed prices by window style

Window style	Typical installed price
Fixed or picture window	$500 to $900
Single hung or double hung	$600 to $1,200
Horizontal roller (sliding)	$700 to $1,400
Specialty shapes and large openings	$1,500 and up

These are market ranges for South Florida, published by Republic Window. Your quote will list every opening individually, so you can see exactly where the total comes from.

What drives the price

• Size and count. Larger openings need thicker glass and heavier frames. More openings mean more labor, but the per-window price usually drops on a whole-house job.
• Frame material. Aluminum frames cost more up front and are the standard for coastal homes and large openings. Vinyl frames cost less and insulate better, which makes them popular inland.
• Glass. Laminated impact glass is the baseline. Insulated laminated glass adds a sealed air space for better energy performance and costs more. Low-E coatings, tints and privacy glass add to the price.
• Wind zone. Miami-Dade and Broward are in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires Miami-Dade NOA-rated products and stricter anchoring. Palm Beach County and the Keys use Florida Product Approval ratings. Higher design pressures mean heavier products.
• Brand. PGT, ES Windows, Mr. Glass, ECO, EMC and GIG each have lines at different price points. We quote more than one option when it makes sense.
• Labor and access. Second-story openings, stucco repair, elevated homes in the Keys and condo buildings with elevator scheduling all affect labor.
• Permits and inspection. Every South Florida county requires a permit and final inspection for window replacement. Fees vary by municipality and are included in your quote.

Doors cost more than windows

Sliding glass doors and French doors are the largest openings in most homes and are priced separately. A two-panel impact slider costs more than any single window, and three and four-panel systems scale up from there. Entry doors are priced by material and glass.

What brings the cost down

• Insurance savings. Once every opening is impact-rated, most Florida windstorm policies give an opening protection credit, verified by a wind mitigation inspection. Read our guide: How impact windows lower your insurance.
• My Safe Florida Home. The state program has offered grants of up to $10,000 toward qualifying improvements, including window replacement. Funding and eligibility change from year to year, so check the current status before you plan around it.
• Energy savings. Low-E impact glass blocks solar heat, which lowers cooling bills every month.
