North Lauderdale is a compact residential city of about 4.7 square miles in north-central Broward County, bordered by Margate, Coral Springs, Tamarac, Fort Lauderdale, and Pompano Beach. Incorporated in 1963 on land that was mostly farmland and dairy pasture, the city was laid out by architect Morris Lapidus and filled in quickly during a building boom in the 1970s. America's Window and Door Store installs hurricane impact windows, impact-rated doors, and commercial storefront systems across North Lauderdale, handling each project as a permitted installation built to the Florida Building Code.
North Lauderdale sits inland with no coastline of its own, but hurricane winds do not stop at the beach. The entire city falls inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which the Florida Building Code applies to all of Broward County. Impact windows are built to hold up against wind pressure and flying debris without breaking open, so your home stays sealed while a storm passes through.
The value of impact glass carries well past hurricane season. North Lauderdale homeowners can expect less solar heat coming through the glass, a quieter interior next to busy roads like McNab Road and State Road 7, and much better resistance to break-ins than older single-pane aluminum windows. For the city's condominium and townhome communities, where associations set rules on exterior appearance, impact windows also remove the need to put up and take down shutters every season.
For North Lauderdale homeowners replacing a full house of windows, single hung impact windows are a budget-friendly way to get certified storm protection. The bottom sash slides up while the top stays fixed, a simple design with fewer moving parts. We carry them in a wide range of sizes, which makes it easier to fit the window openings in homes built during the city's 1970s growth years.
Frame colors are chosen to work with the stucco exteriors seen across Broward County, so the finished job looks clean and consistent from the street. Single hung units also tend to move through permitting and installation quickly, which keeps the disruption short when you are replacing windows in every room of a North Lauderdale home.
If you want better airflow and easier cleaning, double hung impact windows let both the top and bottom sashes open on their own. North Lauderdale residents can lower the top sash to let warm air out while opening the bottom for a breeze, which is a practical option during the cooler winter months when many people would rather open the windows than run the air conditioning.
Both sashes tilt inward, so you can clean the outside glass from inside the house without a ladder. With several frame profiles and glass tint options, double hung windows work in North Lauderdale homes from the city's older ranch-style neighborhoods to houses that have been remodeled or expanded since.
Some North Lauderdale remodels and additions call for shapes or sizes, such as arched transoms or extra-wide fixed panels, that standard units like our double hung windows cannot cover. For those openings, our architectural impact windows are built to each project's exact dimensions, with product approvals for use in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
We work with North Lauderdale homeowners, builders, and architects to plan custom window packages around the design of each home. That could be one large picture window facing the backyard or a full set of custom units for a renovation. Our team handles product selection, the permit application, and installation, and we coordinate the required inspections along the way.
Sliding glass doors are common in North Lauderdale's single-family homes and townhomes, opening the main living space onto a patio, screened area, or backyard. Our impact sliding glass doors replace older aluminum sliders with laminated glass systems rated for Broward County wind loads. Once they are installed, there are no storm panels or accordion shutters to put up before a storm or to block your view the rest of the year.
We install everything from standard two-panel sliders to wider multi-panel openings, using heavy-duty rollers built to keep operating smoothly in South Florida humidity. Several frame finishes are available, so the new doors can match the look of your North Lauderdale home inside and out.
Front doors in North Lauderdale homes must meet the same Florida Building Code wind-load standards as windows, and the front door is also one of the first things visitors notice. America's Window and Door Store installs impact-rated entry doors that add storm resistance and give the entrance a fresh, finished appearance.
Styles range from clean, modern designs to traditional raised panels, so you can pick a door that suits your home's character. Each entry door project covers the threshold, weatherstripping, and locking hardware, so the new door seals well and closes securely for years of daily use in North Lauderdale.
Double entry doors suit the wider front entrances found on some larger North Lauderdale homes. These paired units come with a choice of glass inserts and panel designs, include multi-point locking hardware, and meet the Florida Building Code impact requirements that apply in Broward County.
Many North Lauderdale homeowners choose fiberglass entry doors because they offer the warm look of wood with far less upkeep. Fiberglass resists the warping, swelling, and peeling that heat and humidity can cause in wood doors, and a certified fiberglass unit keeps its Florida Building Code impact rating as it ages, making it a practical long-term choice for a South Florida front entry.
North Lauderdale's businesses are concentrated along McNab Road, the city's main commercial corridor, with more shops and restaurants on Kimberly Boulevard and along State Road 7 on the eastern edge. That mix of shopping plazas, offices, restaurants, and flex warehouse space all needs code-compliant openings. Our commercial impact window and storefront systems are engineered to the Florida Building Code's wind-load requirements for commercial buildings and permitted through the city.
Commercial clients in North Lauderdale get one team for the whole project, from the site visit and product specification to the permit filing, installation, and final inspection. Our storefront systems meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements while giving the business a clean, professional front for customers.
When storms, accidents, or years of use damage the impact windows or doors in your North Lauderdale home, America's Window and Door Store offers impact window and door repair services to get them working properly again. We work on most major brands, replacing glass panels, repairing frames, restoring seals, swapping out worn hardware, and fixing screens.
Our technicians look at each unit and give North Lauderdale homeowners a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes more sense, based on the extent of the damage, the age of the unit, and what each option costs over time. When the frame and hardware are still sound, a targeted repair is often the more economical choice.
Impact windows, impact doors, and storm protection are the core of what America's Window and Door Store does as a licensed and insured contractor based in Broward County. As an authorized PGT dealer, including the former CGI lines, and a certified general and glazing contractor, we take each North Lauderdale job from choosing products and filing the permit to installation and final inspection, for homes and businesses alike.
We know how permitting works in North Lauderdale, where the city's Permitting Division issues building permits and schedules inspections, and we are familiar with how homes across the city were built and later updated. That experience helps us specify the right products, keep the paperwork moving, and get the job ready for inspection.
