Tamarac sits in the heart of Broward County, a city of about 75,000 residents that began in 1963 as developer Kenneth Behring's community for active retirees and has since grown younger and more diverse. Its neighborhoods run from the original Tamarac Lakes homes on the east side to the Mainlands, the Woodlands, and the golf communities around Woodmont and Colony West. For homes and businesses across Tamarac, America's Window and Door Store supplies and installs hurricane impact windows, impact-rated doors, and commercial storefronts, with each job permitted and installed to the Florida Building Code.
Sitting in the middle of the county does not soften the rules for Tamarac homes. All of Broward County falls inside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where the building code sets a 170 mph design wind speed for typical residential construction. Impact windows are built to resist that kind of pressure and wind-borne debris and keep the opening closed, so your house stays sealed while a storm moves through.
Beyond hurricane season, impact windows give Tamarac homes everyday advantages. Laminated glass, especially with a Low-E option, can reduce solar heat gain and cut down on noise from busy roads like Commercial Boulevard and University Drive, and the heavier glass and frames resist forced entry better than older single-pane aluminum windows. For owners in Tamarac's condominium, villa, and townhome communities, permanent impact glass also means no shutters to store, hang, and take down each season.
Single hung impact windows are a practical, budget-conscious way for Tamarac homeowners to replace a full set of windows at once. Much of the city's early housing dates to the 1960s and 1970s, including the Mainlands, which was developed between 1967 and 1977, and our single hung units come in a broad range of standard sizes that fit many of the openings found in homes of that era.
Frame finishes come in colors that sit well against the stucco and tile exteriors seen across Broward County, so the new windows look consistent from the street. Because single hung units are simple to specify, they usually move through permitting and installation quickly, which keeps the disruption short for Tamarac households, including those in the city's 55+ communities.
Tamarac homeowners who want better airflow and easier upkeep often choose our double hung impact windows. Both the upper and lower sashes open, so you can let warm air escape at the top while drawing a breeze in lower down. That flexibility is useful during South Florida's milder winter months, when opening the house can feel more comfortable than running the air conditioning.
Both sashes also tilt inward, so you can clean the outside glass from inside the room without a ladder. Offered in several frame profiles and tints, these units work as well in the older single-family homes of Tamarac Lakes and the Mainlands as they do in newer homes across the city.
Some Tamarac homes, such as larger houses near the Woodmont and Colony West golf courses, may have arched transoms, tall fixed panels, or openings a standard double hung unit cannot fill. Our architectural impact windows are built to the exact size and shape of each opening, with the product approvals Tamarac requires for permitting.
We work directly with Tamarac homeowners, builders, and architects to plan custom window packages, from a single oversized picture window to a complete set for a remodel or new home. Our team handles product specification, field measurements, and the permit application to the City of Tamarac Building Department, then completes the installation and final inspection so the project closes out properly.
Sliding glass doors connect many Tamarac homes to their patios, screened porches, and backyards, and in communities along the city's canals and lakes they also frame the view of the water. Our impact sliding glass doors replace aging aluminum sliders with laminated glass panels rated for Broward County's HVHZ wind loads, so there are no storm panels or accordion shutters to put up before a storm and nothing blocking the view for the rest of the year.
We install everything from standard two-panel sliders to wider multi-panel and pocketing systems, fitted with heavy-duty rollers made for smooth long-term use in Tamarac's heat and humidity. White, bronze, and custom frame colors are available to match your exterior, whether the house dates to the 1970s or went up more recently.
Under the Florida Building Code, exterior doors on a Tamarac home face the same wind-load standards as its windows, and the front door is often the first thing a guest sees. America's Window and Door Store installs impact-rated entry doors that combine storm protection and added security with a fresh, welcoming look for the front of your house.
Door styles range from clean, modern designs with decorative glass to traditional raised-panel looks, so there is a good match for the original homes near Tamarac Lakes as well as the townhome and villa communities across the city. Every installation includes a new threshold, fresh weatherstripping, and multi-point locking hardware.
Our double entry doors suit the wider front entries on many of Tamarac's larger single-family homes, including houses in golf course communities like Woodmont. These paired units come with a choice of glass inserts and panel designs, use multi-point locks, and meet Florida Building Code impact requirements for Broward County.
Fiberglass entry doors are a good fit for Tamarac homeowners who want the look of a wood door without the upkeep. Unlike wood, fiberglass does not warp, swell, or rot in South Florida's heat, humidity, and summer rain, and unlike steel it will not rust. With basic care, a fiberglass impact door holds its shape, finish, and seal for years, which makes it a sensible long-term choice for a Tamarac home.
Much of Tamarac's commercial activity runs along Commercial Boulevard, McNab Road, and University Drive, where HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital sits among shopping centers, restaurants, and professional offices. We specify each commercial storefront and impact window system to the Florida Building Code's requirements for commercial buildings, then file the permit with the city's building department.
For Tamarac business owners and property managers, a project starts with a site visit to measure the openings and review how the space is used, followed by product selection and an installation plan. Every storefront system is built to the HVHZ wind loads in the Florida Building Code, and the finished glass gives storefronts, lobbies, and offices a clean, professional look.
Storms, a stray impact, or years of opening and closing can leave an impact window or door in a Tamarac home or business damaged or hard to operate. Our impact window and door repair work covers glass panel replacement, frame repairs, new seals, worn hardware, and screens on most major brands.
Our technicians inspect the damage and tell Tamarac property owners plainly whether repair or replacement makes more sense, weighing how extensive the damage is, how old the unit is, and what each option costs over time. Often a targeted fix, like swapping a damaged glass panel, returns the unit to reliable service without paying for a full replacement.
America's Window and Door Store is an authorized PGT dealer, including the former CGI lines, and a certified general and glazing contractor, with more than 30 years of experience and a showroom at 5908 Johnson Street in Hollywood. Tamarac homeowners and commercial property owners are welcome to visit the showroom and see the windows and doors in person before choosing.
We know what the City of Tamarac Building Department expects in a window and door permit package, from product approvals to a Notice of Commencement on jobs over $5,000, and how the city's homes, villas, and condominiums are built. That preparation helps a permit move through review without avoidable delays.
