Residential Aluminum Window Replacement for Older Florida Homes
Replacing 30- to 50-year-old single-pane aluminum windows with new impact-rated aluminum frames fixes chronic leaks and stuck hardware while matching the original opening size, so no stucco or drywall gets cut open.
Retrofit Framing for Existing Rough Openings
Old single-track aluminum windows from the 1970s through the 1990s were never built for today's wind pressure requirements, and most carry no product approval at all. Retrofit replacement keeps the existing rough opening and exterior stucco intact by fitting a new NOA-rated aluminum frame inside the old buck, anchored through the original perimeter rather than tearing out to the studs, which keeps labor and drywall repair to a minimum.
New frames use the same 6063-T6 aluminum alloy family as modern impact systems, so the strength-to-weight ratio holds up in a slimmer profile than vinyl needs for the same pressure rating. Every retrofit gets glazed with laminated impact glass and sealed against the original opening with a full perimeter of sealant, closing off the gaps and failed weep systems that let water into the wall cavity on the old units.
Why Choose Six Senses Builders?
Our 4-Step Engineering & Installation Process
Existing Frame Inspection & Opening Survey
A crew checks the old aluminum frame, buck condition, and stucco stop for rot or corrosion before confirming the retrofit frame will seat properly against the original opening.
Retrofit Frame Order & NOA Matching
The replacement frame is ordered to the exact rough opening dimensions with a Miami-Dade NOA number matched to the wind pressure zone and glass type required for that address.
Old Frame Removal & Perimeter Sealing
The old aluminum unit is unscrewed and pulled without disturbing the stucco, the opening is cleaned down to bare buck, and the new frame is set, anchored, and sealed full perimeter.
Final Inspection & Insurance Documentation
Once the building department signs off, the crew provides the completed wind mitigation form and NOA paperwork the homeowner needs to file for a windstorm insurance discount.
Residential Aluminum Window Replacement for Older Florida Homes FAQs
❓ How long does it take to replace old aluminum windows?
Most retrofit jobs run one to two days per opening once the permit is approved, since the crew works inside the existing rough opening instead of tearing back to the studs. A whole-house job on a typical single-family home usually finishes in three to five days depending on window count.
❓ Can you match the frame color to my existing exterior?
Aluminum replacement frames come in standard mill finish, bronze, and white powder coat, and custom anodized colors including champagne and black are available for an upcharge. Bring a paint chip or existing frame sample to the estimate and the crew will match it as closely as the finish options allow.
❓ Will replacing my old aluminum windows lower my insurance premium?
It can. New NOA-rated aluminum windows qualify for the wind mitigation credits documented on form OIR-B1-1802, and most carriers apply a windstorm discount once that form is filed. The exact savings depend on the carrier and county, but replacing single-pane aluminum is one of the most common ways homeowners cut premiums.
