Scroll down to see what measured work, specified products, and a written price actually look like on a home.
Recent Transformations
Impact Window Replacement: Pinecrest Single-Story with Failed Originals
The homeowner on SW 72nd Avenue had original 1987 aluminum windows that leaked during every summer storm. Water stained the drywall below three sills, and the glazing beads had hardened to the point that two panes were loose in their tracks. We measured every opening with a laser sightline reading, specified PGT WinGuard vinyl impact windows with a .30 U-factor and .25 SHGC for the southern exposure, and installed them over two days. The written price was $14,200 before we started; the photo record shows zero water intrusion through two hurricane seasons since.
Sliding Patio Door Installation: Pinecrest Backyard Access Rebuilt
A family near Pinecrest Gardens couldn’t open their 14-foot back slider without two people and a prayer. The track was pitted from salt air, the rollers had disintegrated, and the single-pane glass offered no protection. We removed the unit, reframed the opening to true plumb, and installed a CWS impact-rated sliding door with a stainless steel track and multi-point locking hardware. The door glides on one finger now. Written price: $6,850. The measured survey they kept shows the original opening was out of square by 3/8 inch - we corrected it in the install.
Custom Geometric Window: Pinecrest Entryway Statement Piece
The gable above a Palmetto Bay-adjacent entryway was sheathed in stucco, darkening the foyer all morning. The homeowner wanted light without sacrificing the home’s structural integrity or hurricane rating. We templated a trapezoid opening on site, sent the sightline measurements to ViewLux for a custom impact-rated unit with low-E glazing, and installed it with pressure-treated framing and proper header support. The written price was $4,100 for the custom fabrication and install. Morning light now hits the staircase by 8:30 a.m. The photo record shows the flashing detail that keeps water out of the gable.
Energy-Efficient Window Replacement: Pinecrest Two-Story with West Exposure
The west-facing second story of a home near Ludlam Road turned into a greenhouse every afternoon. The original windows had failed seals, visible condensation between panes, and clear glass that transmitted 80% of solar heat. We specified ECO Window Systems double-pane units with low-E coating, argon fill, and warm-edge spacers - a .28 U-factor and .22 SHGC that cut the heat load without darkening the view. Seventeen windows, written price $11,400. The homeowner’s FPL bill dropped 23% the first summer. We have the photo record of every unit’s NFRC label before it went in.
Impact Garage Door Installation: Pinecrest Home with Non-Rated Overhead Door
A homeowner on SW 92nd Street had a garage door that was rotting from the bottom up and carried zero wind-load certification. Their insurance company noticed. We removed the old unit, installed a Mr-Glass impact-rated garage door with a 160 mph wind-load rating, reinforced 14-gauge tracks, and heavy-duty torsion hardware. The written price was $3,800 including disposal of the old door. The installation passed village inspection on the first visit. The photo record shows the track anchorage into the header - the detail that determines whether a door stays put in a storm.
Full-Home Window & Door Package: Pinecrest Mid-Century Modern Renovation
A Pinecrest homeowner had replaced windows piecemeal over a decade - four different brands, three frame colors, and sightlines that didn’t line up from room to room. We surveyed the entire home, specified CGI impact windows in a consistent frame profile and bronze finish, and paired them with a Therma-Tru entry system. Twenty-three openings total, written price $28,500. The sightline measurements from the survey document show we held frame alignment within 1/16 inch across the front elevation. The photo record includes every rough opening before trim, because what you don’t see determines what you will.
