Why single hung impact windows suit Davie homes
Single hung impact windows have one operable bottom sash and a fixed top sash. They're the most popular and cost-effective hurricane impact window style in South Florida — perfect for whole-home replacements where homeowners want full Florida Product Approval impact protection without paying for features they won't use. A single hung has one operable sash, and it travels over the fixed one — so the clear opening you actually get is a little under half the glass area. That is usually fine, and single hung is the most cost-effective impact configuration on the market. It becomes a problem in bedrooms, because Florida Building Code sets a minimum clear opening for egress, and a bedroom that passed with an old casement or an old horizontal roller can fail once a single hung goes into the same rough opening.
What Davie homes were originally built with
Davie's stock is genuinely mixed in a way most of Broward is not — original ranch houses on acreage sitting alongside 1980s and 1990s subdivision product and newer construction, often within the same few blocks. The older agricultural-parcel homes carry wide aluminium rollers and jalousies in openings that have moved with sixty years of settlement, so those get templated individually rather than ordered from a schedule. The subdivision stock is standard-sized and repeats. The two are quoted as different jobs because they are. That history is why we quote single hung impact windows against the opening in front of us rather than against a size schedule.
Clear opening is the constraint, not the frame size
The most common correction we make at the measure is a homeowner who has priced single hungs throughout the house to keep the cost down, without realising two or three of those openings are bedrooms that will not meet egress in that configuration. It is far cheaper to catch at the measure than after the order is placed, because impact units are made to size and are not returnable. We see it regularly across Long Lake Estates, Forest Ridge, Pine Island Ridge and the surrounding Davie neighbourhoods, where the housing stock is consistent enough that the same specification question comes up again and again.
Approvals and permitting in Broward County
Broward County lies entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every unit installed here carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and is inspected against it. The county's permitting and inspection standards are among the most demanding in the country, and its large stock of 1970s-to-1990s homes typically still carries original aluminium frames that fail wind mitigation outright. Every single hung impact window we install in Davie carries Miami-Dade NOA (HVHZ), and we pull the permit and manage the inspections through the local building department rather than leaving that to you.
What we see on Davie properties
Davie's mix of ranch-style homes, modern estates in Long Lake and Forest Ridge, and family communities along Pine Island Road creates one of Broward's most consistent retrofit markets.
The bedroom swap that fails inspection
A single hung has one operable sash, and it travels over the fixed one — so the clear opening you actually get is a little under half the glass area. That is usually fine, and single hung is the most cost-effective impact configuration on the market. It becomes a problem in bedrooms, because Florida Building Code sets a minimum clear opening for egress, and a bedroom that passed with an old casement or an old horizontal roller can fail once a single hung goes into the same rough opening. On a Davie job this is settled at the measure, on site, against the actual opening — which is the only place it can honestly be settled.
Large lots, wide elevations, and original aluminum
Davie's ranch-style stock and the estate homes through Long Lake Estates, Forest Ridge and Pine Island Ridge share a pattern: broad west-facing elevations with a lot of glass, on lots big enough that nothing shades them. A large number of these homes are still on the aluminum frames they were built with. Two things follow. The first is that whole-home pricing separates sharply from opening-by-opening pricing once the count passes a dozen or so openings. The second is that on an unshaded west wall the Low-E specification does real work on cooling load, which is a return that arrives every month rather than only after a storm.
