Condominium Window Repair & Replacement in Boca Raton and South Florida
Window repair and replacement in a condominium is a different job than the same work in a single-family home. HOA approval requirements, building access coordination, impact compliance for the entire structure, and working within units while other residents are present all require experience that most residential window companies don’t have. Atlantic Window Repair works with condo owners, unit buyers, and building associations across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties.
What Makes Condo Window Work Different
Several factors make condominium window projects more complex than standard residential jobs:
• HOA and building approval — most condominium associations require that replacement windows match the building’s approved specifications for frame color, style, and glass type. Deviating from approved specs can result in the association requiring removal and reinstallation at the owner’s cost.
• Impact requirements — coastal and high-wind properties are built around impact-resistant glazing, and many Palm Beach and Broward buildings expect the whole structure to stay consistent, so one non-matching unit becomes an association problem.
• Access and scheduling — building management controls access to common areas, freight elevators, and parking. Jobs in occupied buildings need to be coordinated with management to avoid disruption to other residents.
• Interior protection — work in lived-in units requires protecting furniture, flooring, and belongings. Our technicians work cleanly and leave each unit the way they found it.
• Permit coordination — replacement window projects in condominiums often require permits. We advise on what’s required for the specific project and building.
Services for Condominium Properties
Certified impact windows installed to the specification the association has approved. We confirm the approved product list with the HOA or building management before anything is ordered.
Single Pane & Double Pane Glass Replacement
Broken, fogged, or failed glass replaced in existing window frames. For double pane units where the seal has failed and condensation appears between the panes, foggy window repair restores clarity without replacing the frame or changing how the window looks from outside the building.
Window Frame Repair
Corroded, warped, or damaged aluminum and wood frames repaired or replaced. South Florida’s salt air and humidity accelerate frame degradation in older condo buildings, particularly in units directly facing the ocean or Intracoastal.
Sliding Glass Door Repair & Replacement
Sliding door rollers, tracks, locks, and handles serviced or replaced. Full door replacement where the frame or glass is beyond repair. We work on all common sliding door systems found in Palm Beach and Broward County condo buildings.
Window and balcony door screens replaced. We match screen mesh type and tension to building standards.
Cranks, operators, balancers, latches, and locks repaired or replaced on casement, awning, and single/double-hung windows. Hardware-only repairs avoid the cost of full window replacement where the frame and glass are sound.
Broken glass in a condo unit is boarded up on the first visit, which prevents further damage and keeps the unit secure until the permanent glass is installed.
HOA Compliance and Approved Products
Most condominium associations in Palm Beach and Broward Counties have a list of approved window specifications — frame material, color, glass type, and manufacturer. Before any replacement window is ordered, we confirm compliance with the building’s requirements.
For buildings that have not yet established approved product specifications, we can provide documentation to help the association evaluate options, including the specifications of every product we propose.
Working in Occupied Buildings
Every job in an occupied condominium building is coordinated with building management. We confirm access routes, elevator reservation if required, and work hours with management before scheduling. Our team works within the agreed time window and cleans up fully before leaving the unit. Buildings and portfolios under professional management are handled the same way, through window repair for property managers, with one point of contact for the whole property.
All work is handled in-house by our own crew, and no subcontractor enters any building or unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for window replacement in a condo — the owner or the association?
This depends on the condominium’s declaration and bylaws. In most Florida condominiums, windows are considered part of the unit (not common elements), making them the owner’s responsibility. However, the association typically controls what products are approved. We advise reviewing the condo’s declaration before scheduling any replacement work, and can assist with documentation if the association requires it.
Do you work directly with condo associations for building-wide projects?
Yes. For building-wide window replacement or repair programs, we work directly with the association or property management company. We can provide written proposals, product specifications, and project timelines for review by the board.
Does our building's window specification have to be confirmed before ordering?
Yes, it does. Wind exposure differs by location and building height, and most associations keep their own approved product list on top of that. We confirm both before anything is ordered, and we put the specification in writing with the estimate.
Can you match the existing window style in our building?
In most cases, yes. For standard aluminum frame profiles and glass types common in Palm Beach and Broward County condo construction, we can source products that match existing windows closely enough to satisfy HOA approval. For older buildings with non-standard profiles, custom frame components are fabricated in our in-house woodworking workshop
Do you handle the permit for condo window replacement?
We advise on permit requirements for each project. Whether a permit is required depends on the scope of work, building type, and municipality. For projects that require a permit, we can assist with the application process.
How do I get an estimate for my condo unit?
Contact us by phone to discuss the project. We’ll schedule a free in-home estimate at a time that works with building access requirements. The estimate covers the scope of work, product options, HOA compliance, and a written price before any commitment is made.
