AfterWindow Company in Margate, FL
Window and door work in Margate is different from most of South Florida because nearly every home here falls under Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That single fact changes everything about product selection, anchoring, and permitting. If you own one of the city’s thousands of 1960s and 70s concrete block homes with original aluminum frames, replacement is a code-driven job, not a cosmetic upgrade. Call (903) 354-7134 and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs.
Why Margate Homes Are Different
Margate was largely built out between about 1960 and 1980, and the housing stock tells the story. Most homes are single-story CBS construction: concrete block with stucco over it, flat or low-pitch roofs, and small standardized window rough openings that were never designed for modern impact units. When we pull an original frame out of a Margate home, we’re usually looking at a masonry opening that needs anchor points spaced directly into the block, not a wood buck like you’d find in a frame-built house farther north.
The climate adds its own pressure. Margate sits 8 to 10 miles inland from the Atlantic, but there’s no elevation change to slow the wind down. The flat terrain means the city really does take the full design wind-speed load Broward County codes for 170+ mph HVHZ. Add subtropical humidity to that, and you get aluminum frames that corrode and non-impact glazing seals that fail years earlier than homeowners expect. The maintenance cycle here is shorter, and the replacement standard is higher. That combination is exactly why generic advice from out-of-county contractors falls apart on a Margate job.
Our Main Margate Services
Most Margate homeowners call us first about two things: replacing failed windows on aging CBS homes, and upgrading front or back doors for storm protection and energy performance. Here’s what each one looks like in this city.
Window Replacement in Margate
Replacement work in Margate often means removing original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows and retrofitting a modern HVHZ-approved impact unit into an opening that was never sized for one. That’s a full-frame job most of the time, not an insert. We re-buck the block opening, anchor directly into the masonry, and install units from manufacturers like PGT and ES Windows that carry the approvals Broward County actually enforces. Window Replacement in Margate covers the process and pricing in detail.
Window Installation in Margate
New-construction and addition work in Margate runs into the same code wall as replacements do, but from a different angle: the opening gets built or re-framed to fit the impact unit rather than the other way around. We work with products from ECO Window Systems and CWS when energy efficiency is the priority, and we spec the anchoring and flashing to match masonry construction rather than wood frame. Window Installation in Margate explains what to expect on a new-opening job.
Door Installation in Margate
Door replacement here means the same HVHZ rules we apply to windows, plus a few more points of failure. Hinges, thresholds, and jamb anchoring all have to hold under design wind pressure, and in Margate’s humidity, a poorly flashed door rots or corrodes from the inside out. We install Therma-Tru entry doors and other lines selected for the opening, with anchored frames that meet Broward’s wind-load requirements. Door Installation in Margate walks through the options.

Brands We Service in Margate
We carry eight manufacturer lines and pull the one that fits the opening and the job. For most Margate replacement work, that means impact-rated PGT on block homes and CGI where the homeowner wants a heavier coastal-rated frame. Parts are stocked locally, so a routine replacement doesn’t sit waiting on a freight truck. See our brands for the full line card.

What pushes the price up in Margate is the masonry work. Full-frame tear-outs on CBS openings, jalousie removal, and re-anchoring into block all add labor that a wood-frame neighborhood wouldn’t see. Whatever the job, you get a written price before any work starts, and it can’t change at the door.

FAQs About Window Company in Margate
Yes. Because Margate sits inside the HVHZ, every replacement window and exterior door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an approved Florida Product Approval, and the city requires a permit with inspection. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and the job closes only after it passes. Call (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate.
We typically get an estimator out within a couple of business days, and our phone line is answered by a real person 24/7 if you want to schedule. Once we’ve seen the openings and measured, your written price comes with a committed arrival window for the install date. Call (903) 354-7134 to set something up.

What Margate Customers Say
"Replaced eight drafty old windows that were basically single pane. The house is warmer already and the street noise is way down. Crew was on time both days and the price was exactly the quote."
- Harold Bemis"Our energy bill in summer was brutal. New windows made a real dent in it. Salesman wasn't pushy and didn't do the fake "today only" discount thing the others tried."
- Bethany Oh"Two bedroom windows that never opened and one that wouldn't stay up. All replaced in an afternoon. The crew was clean, hauled off the old frames, and the quote held."
