PGT Impact Windows Installed in South Florida
We are a Hollywood-based PGT dealer-installer — not the Venice factory. If you want WinGuard impact windows and doors set, permitted, and inspected in Broward or Miami-Dade HVHZ (or an FL# path in Palm Beach), the crew that shows up is ours.
Florida's Most Trusted Impact Window Manufacturer
PGT Innovations, headquartered in Venice, Florida, has been manufacturing impact-resistant windows and doors for more than four decades. Founded in 1980, PGT grew from a small regional fabricator into the largest producer of impact-resistant openings in the southeastern United States. Their expansive 1.2-million-square-foot manufacturing campus turns out thousands of custom-sized units every week, serving homeowners, builders, and commercial developers throughout Florida and the Gulf Coast states.
What sets PGT apart from competitors is the breadth and depth of their product catalog. Whether you need an affordable aluminum single hung window, a high-performance vinyl casement with triple-pane insulating glass, or an oversized multi-slide door system, PGT offers a solution engineered specifically for the demands of the Florida climate. Every product undergoes rigorous testing at their in-house test lab, which simulates hurricane-force wind pressures, large and small missile impacts, and forced-entry attempts before any unit leaves the factory floor.
PGT holds Miami-Dade County Notices of Acceptance and Florida Product Approvals across their entire lineup, giving South Florida homeowners confidence that their windows and doors will perform when the next major storm arrives. Beyond hurricane protection, PGT products deliver tangible everyday benefits including significant reductions in energy consumption, outside noise, and harmful UV radiation that damages interior furnishings. When you choose PGT through Florida Impact Windows & Doors, you get the full backing of Florida's premier manufacturer combined with our expert local installation.

When a typical South Florida house should specify PGT
PGT is the brand we reach for when the job is a whole house, not a single trophy opening. WinGuard is the impact line most Broward and Miami-Dade inspectors already know how to read on a permit. EnergyVue is the conversation when vinyl thermal performance is the priority on that same impact path. We do not need a custom coastal series to replace fifteen single-hungs and a two-panel slider in Hollywood Hills or west Miramar.
Inland and suburban openings — CBS ranches, two-story planned-community homes, typical lanai sliders — are PGT's home turf. Oceanfront condos and floor-to-ceiling glass still can be PGT when the NOA and design pressure match the elevation; they are not automatically a CGI job. The split is the opening, not the zip code. If the unit is a standard residential size with an HVHZ approval, WinGuard is usually the simpler specification. If the unit is an oversized multi-slide facing the Atlantic, we price CGI on the same list so you can see why the heavier assembly costs more.
HVHZ (Broward and Miami-Dade) jobs need a current Miami-Dade NOA that matches glass and anchors. Palm Beach jobs, including Boca Raton, often run on a Florida Product Approval instead. PGT publishes both. We pull the permit either way from 3000 Stirling Rd, Hollywood.
Why we still stock ES and CGI if PGT covers so much
A dealer with one logo has to make every opening look like that logo's problem. We install three impact makers so the catalog, the lead time, and the coastal spec can disagree. This comparison is from the PGT chair — the other brand pages argue the same facts from their side.
| If this is the job… | We usually start with | Lead-time story | DP / exposure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical house, mixed vinyl + aluminum, one permit set | PGT WinGuard (this page) | Large Venice campus — common sizes are a known production path | HVHZ NOA on standard residential DPs; FL# available in Palm Beach |
| Every opening on a tighter budget; simple aluminum sizes | ES Windows | South Florida maker — often the shorter wait on common configs | NOA / FBC for typical inland and suburban openings |
| Oceanfront, high-rise, or a slider other plants will not stamp | CGI Sentinel / Estate | Miami plant — oversized and high-DP units can take longer | Built for higher coastal / elevation design pressures |
