Impact Window Requirements Across Florida
Florida Building Code mandates impact-rated windows within 5-10 miles of coastline, resisting debris from 140-170 mph hurricanes. Miami-Dade NOA certification adds $500-1,000/window over standard double-pane, but qualifies for insurance discounts (10-25%) and FPL rebates ($100-300/window). Inland cities like Orlando require only energy-efficient Low-E glass (U-factor ≤0.40), saving $300-500/window versus coastal HVHZ engineering stamps ($200-400 extra).
Window Types and Pricing Breakdown
Window style dramatically impacts replacement costs, with casement and double-hung leading residential demand for ventilation and views.
Window Type | Cost Range Installed | Best Florida Applications |
Single-Hung | $175-$2,800 | Budget bedrooms, guest houses |
Double-Hung | $250-$3,000 | Living rooms, dining areas |
Casement | $200-$2,000 | Kitchens, Florida room views |
Sliding | $200-$1,500 | Lanais, patio access |
Picture/Fixed | $300-$1,800 | Great rooms, coastal panoramas |
Arched/Custom | $300-$10,000 | Entryways, luxury estates |
Egress | $300-$830 | Bedrooms (FBC emergency exit) |
Pompano 20-window average home: 12 double-hung ($2,200 ea) + 6 casements ($1,400 ea) + 2 sliders ($1,100 ea) = $37,800 total ($1,890/window).
Glass Technology Cost Tiers
Glass specifications drive 40-60% material costs—Low-E/Argon-filled mandatory for Florida energy code (SHGC ≤0.25 coastal).
Glass Type | Cost/Window | Energy Savings | Florida Requirements |
Single-Pane | $100-$1,280 | Baseline | None (outdated) |
Double-Pane Clear | $150-$1,290 | 15% | Minimum inland |
Low-E Double | $350-$2,680 | 25-35% | Statewide |
Argon-Filled Low-E | $375-$2,720 | 30-40% | Coastal standard |
Triple-Pane | $400-$3,040 | 40% | Luxury/energy rebates |
Laminated Impact | $125-$2,750 | Hurricane-rated | Within 10 miles coast |
Tempered | $150-$3,000 | Safety | All low windows |
Miami impact Low-E: $1,800-$2,500 vs. Orlando standard Low-E $900-$1,400.

Frame Material Cost Comparison
Frame choice balances cost, durability, and coastal corrosion resistance—vinyl dominates Florida (60% market).
Material | Material Cost | Installed Cost | Lifespan Florida |
Aluminum | $75-$800 | $100-$400 | 20-30 years |
Vinyl | $100-$900 | $200-$500 | 30-50 years |

Fiberglass | $300-$1,500 | $800-$1,200 | 50+ years |
Pompano recommendation: Vinyl ($350 avg) or fiberglass ($1,000) for salt air resistance.
Labor and Installation Cost Factors
Labor averages $148-$158/window (1-2 hours ea), with coastal premiums for impact-rated framing reinforcement (2×6 headers vs. 2×4). Volume discounts kick in:
Windows | Labor/Window | Total Labor 20 Windows |
1-4 | $150-$200 | $3,000-$4,000 |
5-9 | $140-$180 | $2,800-$3,600 |
10-19 | $100-$150 | $2,000-$3,000 |
20+ | $80-$120 | $1,600-$2,400 |
HVHZ Miami: +25% ($200/window) for engineering inspections.
Full-Home Replacement Project Costs
Typical Florida homes require 15-30 windows—ranch 18 avg, 2-story 25 avg.
Windows | Total Cost Range | Pompano Impact | Orlando Standard |
15 | $5,250-$18,000 | $24,750-$37,500 | $16,140-$25,500 |
20 | $9,000-$24,000 | $33,000-$50,000 | $21,520-$34,000 |

30 | $12,000-$36,000 | $49,500-$75,000 | $32,280-$51,000 |
Pompano 2,200 sf pool home: 22 impact windows = $36,300-$52,800 ($1,650-$2,400 ea).
Permitting and Soft Costs by City
FBC permitting ($50-150/window) plus impact engineering ($200-500 coastal):
City | Permit/Window | Engineering | Dumpster/Disposal |
Miami | $150 | $400 | $800 |
Pompano | $125 | $300 | $600 |
Orlando | $75 | $0 | $500 |
Jacksonville | $50 | $0 | $400 |
20-window Pompano total: $2,500-$6,000 soft costs (10-15%).
Energy Savings and ROI Calculations
Low-E/Argon windows cut cooling 25-35% ($400-800/year Pompano), impact glass qualifies insurance discounts (15-25%, $1,500/year avg). Payback 5-8 years:
20 windows @ $2,000 ea = $40,000 investment
Annual savings: $1,200 energy + $1,500 insurance = $2,700
ROI: **6.7% year 1**, full payback **year 7**
Resale boost: **$20,000-30,000** (NAR data)
FPL rebates: $100-300/window energy-efficient.
Insurance Claims for Window Replacement
Post-hurricane claims recover 70-90% via Miami-Dade NOA documentation—laminated impact glass line items average $1,800-2,500 payout. Pre-storm photos maximize scope; Pompano 2024 Ian claims averaged $28K 15-window homes.
Cost-Saving Strategies by City
Miami/Fort Lauderdale: Bundle impact doors/windows (15% savings), winter installs (10% off).
Orlando/Tampa: Standard Low-E (save $500/window vs. impact), volume contractors.
Jacksonville: Aluminum frames (budget), DIY demo (save $50/window).

Question Answer
Frequently Asked Question
A window replacement cost estimator calculates pricing based on window type, glass technology, frame material, city-specific labor rates, and Florida Building Code (FBC) requirements, including impact-rated standards in coastal areas.
Costs vary due to local labor rates, High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) rules, impact-glass mandates, permitting fees, and coastal wind-load requirements in cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Pompano Beach.
No. Impact-rated windows are typically required within 5–10 miles of the coastline. Inland cities such as Orlando and Jacksonville usually require energy-efficient Low-E glass instead of impact glass.
Double-hung and casement windows are the most common due to ventilation and ease of use. Sliding windows are popular for lanais, while picture windows are common in coastal living spaces.
Vinyl and fiberglass frames are preferred due to their resistance to humidity, salt air, corrosion, and low maintenance. Fiberglass performs best in coastal environments.
