Window Installation in Fort Myers - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Window Installation for Fort Myers Homeowners

Window installation in Fort Myers runs between $450 and $1,800 per window for most homes, and the job is typically completed in one to three days once materials arrive. That’s the straight answer. The longer answer is that what you pay and how long you wait depends on the window style, the age of your home’s framing, and whether you need impact-rated glass to meet Florida Building Code requirements here in Lee County. Winslow Windows & Doors has handled those variables for Fort Myers homeowners since 2011. Ed Winslow owns the company, answers the phone, and stands behind every installation with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. Call (239) 453-7751 and you’ll get a live person, not a call center.

What Our Window Installation Service Includes

We install the full range of window styles found in Fort Myers homes, from classic single hung units in McGregor Boulevard colonials to Bay & Bow Windows and modern horizontal rollers in Iona and Three Oaks condos. Every installation starts with a free measurement call and a written line-item quote. Here’s what we handle.

Single & Double Hung Windows

Single hung windows open from the bottom sash only, while double hung windows let both the top and bottom sashes slide. They’re the most common style in Fort Myers, especially in homes built before the 1990s. We install both styles with factory-flashed frames and closed-cell foam insulation so your air conditioner isn’t cooling the front yard from May through October. If your current double hung windows are painted shut or the sash cords snapped years ago, this is the most straightforward upgrade you can make.

Horizontal Roller Windows

Horizontal roller windows slide side to side on tracks, which makes them a natural fit for wide openings and lanai-facing walls. You’ll see them everywhere in Cape Coral and along the Caloosahatchee waterfront, where homeowners want airflow without a sash hanging in the way. We install them with stainless steel roller assemblies that don’t corrode in the salty air, and we level the track on every single job. A window that fights you to open is a window that won’t get opened, and that defeats the purpose in a climate like ours.

3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows

A 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows gives you a center fixed panel with operating sashes on both sides, or two fixed panels with a single operable section. These are popular in great rooms and master bedrooms where the opening is too wide for a standard roller but not large enough for a patio door. We install them with interlocking rails and weatherstripping at every meeting point, which matters a lot during August downpours. If your current 3-lite slider leaks where the panels meet, the frame has likely sagged over time, and a proper installation fixes that permanently.

Casement Windows

Casement Windows crank outward on side hinges, sealing against the frame when fully closed. They deliver the tightest air seal of any operable window style, which is why Energy Star rates them highly for Florida cooling loads. We install casements in kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere a homeowner wants full ventilation with one hand. The crank mechanism is the first thing to wear out, so we set every casement with adjustable hinges that keep the sash aligned for years.

Awning & Hopper Windows

Awning & Hopper Windows hinge at the top and open outward, creating a small roof that lets in air while blocking light rain. Hopper windows hinge at the bottom and tilt inward, commonly found in ground-floor utility rooms and garage walls. Both styles work well for Fort Myers homes with limited wall space or high windows that need ventilation without reaching too far. We use corrosion-resistant hardware on every awning and hopper we install because the humidity here eats cheap metal fasteners within a few seasons.

Picture & Fixed Windows

Picture windows don’t open. They exist to frame a view and flood a room with daylight, which makes them a favorite on Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach where the water view is the point of the house. We install them with double-strength glass, foam-filled frames, and high-performance spacers that reduce condensation and heat transfer. Because they don’t have moving parts, the installation quality comes down to the seal, and we don’t shortcut that step.

Brands We Service for Window Installation

We are an authorized installer for PGT, the Sarasota-based manufacturer that dominates impact-rated window work across southwest Florida. PGT’s WinGuard and PremierVue lines are engineered for hurricane zones, and we’ve installed hundreds of them in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and the islands. Ed Winslow and his installers understand the exact anchoring requirements PGT frames demand, which means your windows meet Lee County wind load codes without improvisation.

We also install Therma-Tru doors and Mr-Glass products as part of broader window and door projects. Therma-Tru is the reference standard for entry door systems, and many Fort Myers homeowners pair a new Therma-Tru front door with matching window replacements on the same permit. Mr-Glass builds custom and specialty glass units for geometric windows, transoms, and unique openings, and we work with them on one-off installations that box-store installers won’t touch. If your project calls for a brand we haven’t named here, ask us directly, and we’ll give you an honest answer about whether we can source it.

Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now

• Condensation between the glass panes. If you see fog or water droplets trapped inside a double-pane window, the seal has failed. That means the insulating gas has leaked out and the window’s R-value has collapsed. No repair restores a failed seal; the glass pack or the whole sash has to be replaced.
• Windows that stick, jam, or won’t stay open. This is common in Fort Myers homes older than 25 years, where the original aluminum or wood frames have warped in the heat and humidity. A window that won’t open is a safety issue and a code violation in bedrooms that require egress. We see this regularly in Lehigh Acres and North Fort Myers homes from the 1980s and 1990s.
• Drafts you can feel with the window closed. Hold your hand near the frame on a windy day. If you feel air moving, the weatherstripping is shot or the frame has pulled away from the rough opening. That air leak is adding real dollars to your FPL bill every month.
• Rising energy bills without a change in usage. Single-pane windows and failed double-pane seals force your AC to run longer to hold the same temperature. Fort Myers cooling costs run high from April through November, and replacing inefficient windows with low-E impact glass can cut the load on the system measurably.
• Water stains or soft drywall around the window frame. This signals a leak that has already gotten past the flashing and into your wall cavity. In Florida’s climate, that moisture breeds mold quickly. By the time you see a stain, the damage is already underway, and the window needs to come out to fix the opening correctly.

Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Free in-home measurement and assessment. Call (239) 453-7751 to schedule your free estimate. We come to your home, measure every opening, check the existing framing with a moisture meter, and document the current condition with photos. You get a written line-item quote based on those exact measurements, not a square-footage guess.
2. 2
   Product selection and written proposal. We walk through your window style options, glass packages, and impact ratings. The proposal itemizes the window cost, labor, flashing, insulation, and any required permits. We don’t bury permit fees in the fine print, and the price you sign is the price you pay.
3. 3
   Ordering and scheduling. Once you approve the work, we order the windows directly from the manufacturer with your exact dimensions and glass specs. For custom sizes, this step typically takes two to four weeks. We schedule the installation date when the order is confirmed, and we show up when we say we will.
4. 4
   Installation day. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive in a marked vehicle. We remove the old windows, inspect the rough opening, repair any rotted wood, install flashing and sill pans per manufacturer specs, set the new window, insulate the cavity, and trim the exterior. We run a complete air and water test on every opening before we call the job done.
5. 5
   Final inspection and warranty registration. We walk the job with you room by room, explain the window operation, and register your manufacturer warranty on the spot. Then Ed Winslow’s 36500-Day Done Right Promise kicks in, which means if anything isn’t right, you call us and we come back. No ticket number, no escalation queue. Just Ed’s word.
