Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Lighthouse Point
Custom windows and doors in Lighthouse Point are not a one-size-fits-all order. The city’s 47 miles of canals packed into roughly 2.5 square miles means salt air reaches almost every home, and Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules govern every opening you replace. A custom shape, an oversized lanai panel, or a rebuilt sliding door here has to solve two problems at once: marine corrosion and Category 4-5 wind loads. TruePane Windows & Doors has handled both in Lighthouse Point for years, and we quote every job in writing before work begins. Call (863) 264-3649 and a live person answers.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Lighthouse Point homeowners tend to keep their houses for decades. They remember which contractor left them with a fogged seal or a door that binds in July, and they are not shopping for the cheapest bid. We built our reputation in this city the slow way: showing up when we said, measuring every opening twice, and standing behind the work. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our Custom Windows & Doors team has replaced corroded lanai sliders, rebuilt jalousie openings into impact-rated picture windows, and fabricated arch windows for 1950s ranches that keep their original look while meeting current code. Customers in Lighthouse Point call us because we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. No other company we know of in this market makes that a standard practice. The Done Right Promise backs every job, with no paperwork fights and no arguing.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle every Lighthouse Point job. We schedule from our Miami office, and crews serve this city locally, so response times are measured in days, not weeks. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That matters when a canal-facing slider fails two days before a named storm.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point
Most of what we do in Lighthouse Point falls into four buckets. Each one ties back to the same realities: older housing stock, salt air, HVHZ code, and homeowners who want the work done right the first time.
Custom Shape Windows
Lighthouse Point’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes often have arched transoms, radius corners, or half-round windows that off-the-shelf replacements will not fit. We fabricate custom shapes to match the original opening, in impact-rated glass where code requires it. The trick is keeping the architectural character while engineering the frame for HVHZ wind loads. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Lighthouse Point has a small commercial corridor along Federal Highway and scattered storefronts near the yacht basin. Storefront glazing here has the same salt-corrosion problem as residential work, plus the added pressure of business interruption when a pane fails. We replace commercial glass with impact-rated assemblies and schedule work around your operating hours. Most commercial glazing jobs in this city are quoted and completed inside two weeks.

Curtain Wall Systems
For larger commercial or multi-story residential buildings in Lighthouse Point, curtain wall systems need engineering that accounts for both wind load and long-term salt exposure. We coordinate with structural engineers, pull the permits, and install curtain wall with marine-grade fasteners and sealants. The design wind speeds in this HVHZ jurisdiction approach Category 4-5 thresholds, so we do not cut corners on framing or anchoring.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Older Lighthouse Point homes often have divided-light windows with true muntins. When those windows are replaced, homeowners want the same look with modern thermal performance. We install simulated divided lites (SDLs) and architectural grilles inside impact-rated insulated glass units. The grille pattern matches the original, but the glass performs to current code. That is the standard we build to.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Lighthouse Point we work most often with PGT, CGI, and ES Windows for impact-rated custom work. These lines carry Miami-Dade NOA-equivalent approvals, which every replaced opening in this city needs. We stock common replacement hardware and seals locally so a corroded track or failed roller on a canal-facing slider does not leave you waiting on a freight order from out of state. When we quote a job, we put the manufacturer options side by side on paper. You decide based on price, warranty, and lead time, not on a sales pitch.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Corroded-shut sliding door tracks. Canal-facing sliders on 1960s and 1970s builds take direct salt spray off the waterway. The aluminum tracks oxidize, the rollers seize, and the door will not latch to hurricane standard. We replace the track assembly or the full door, reframed to LVL where the jamb pockets have rotted.
- Jalousie windows that cannot pass HVHZ inspection. Original single-pane jalousies have no structural mullions rated for current wind loads. Any custom-shaped or oversized replacement triggers a full reframing permit. We handle the engineering and the paperwork so you do not have to chase the building department.
- Failed waterproofing at lanai door sills. Salt water wicks into the subfloor framing when sill flashing fails. The rot hides until walls are opened. We replace the rotted framing, flash with Vycor tape, and seal perimeter joints with marine-grade butyl tape.
- Fogged seals on original single-pane glass. Once a seal fails, the insulating value drops to almost nothing. In Lighthouse Point’s humid salt-air climate, that fog is a sign the unit has been compromised for years. Replacement is the fix, and we quote it as a complete opening, not a glass-only patch that fails again.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL
Custom window and door pricing in Lighthouse Point runs higher than inland Broward for one reason: everything has to be impact-rated and marine-grade. A standard custom impact window replacement here typically runs $1,200 to $3,800 per opening, depending on size and manufacturer. Custom arch or radius windows run $2,500 to $6,500 because the frame has to be engineered and fabricated to match the opening. Oversized lanai glass panels, including reframing and waterproofing, typically run $8,000 to $22,000. Corroded slider replacement on a canal-facing elevation typically runs $4,500 to $12,000, with the higher end covering full reframing when rot is found. We write allowances into every contract so you know the worst-case number before walls are opened. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free estimate and a written line-item quote.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Replacing jalousie windows with impact-rated custom windows in Lighthouse Point triggers a building permit that includes structural review of the existing framing. In most cases, the original 1950s-1970s openings need reframing to meet HVHZ wind load requirements, which means an LVL header and additional anchor strapping. The permit also requires a product approval number for every window, which we pull from the manufacturer’s Miami-Dade NOA paperwork. We handle the permit and schedule the inspection. Call (863) 264-3649 for a quote that includes the permit line item so there are no surprises.
Canal-facing doors in Lighthouse Point take the prevailing east-southeast wind fetch directly off the waterway, which carries salt spray onto the aluminum tracks and rollers constantly. The neighbor one street inland is shielded by the first row of homes, so their exposure is dramatically lower. The fix is replacing the track and roller assembly with marine-grade components, or replacing the full door with a fusion-welded frame and stainless hardware. We quote the repair and the full replacement side by side. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free site assessment.
Yes. Custom arch, radius, and circle impact windows are fabricated to match the original opening dimensions and sightlines, so the exterior look stays true to the house. The engineering is done behind the glass to meet HVHZ wind load requirements, and the frame is finished to match the home’s existing color. We have done this on multiple 1950s ranches in Lighthouse Point, including several near Lighthouse Point Yacht Basin. Call (863) 264-3649 and we will bring photo samples of similar work to the estimate.
An oversized impact-rated glass panel survives a hurricane because it is built as a laminated unit with a polymer interlayer that holds the glass together even when struck by windborne debris. The frame is engineered for the design wind pressures in Lighthouse Point’s HVHZ zone, and the perimeter flashing and sealants are marine-grade. The weak point is almost always the installation, not the glass. We reframe the opening, flash the sill, and anchor to the existing structure per the engineer’s detail. Call (863) 264-3649 and we will show you the product approval documentation before you sign.
Most original Lighthouse Point window openings hide one of three things: rotted or undersized framing that cannot support an impact-rated unit, failed waterproofing that has wicked salt water into the subfloor, or corroded fasteners that no longer hold the frame to the structure. We find at least one of these on more than half the jobs we open. That is why we write an inspection allowance into every contract, and any added work is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (863) 264-3649 to schedule your inspection.
If you live in Lighthouse Point and you are tired of patching old windows and fighting corroded doors, call (863) 264-3649 for a free estimate. A live person answers. We will measure twice, quote in writing, and stand behind the work with the Done Right Promise. That is the way we have always done it, and that is the way we will do it for you. Call today.
