AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Wilton Manors
Impact windows and doors in Wilton Manors are not a luxury upgrade. They’re a code requirement, a hurricane-safety necessity, and for most of the original CBS bungalows in this city, a masonry job as much as a glazing job. If you own one of the thousands of late-1940s to mid-1960s concrete-block homes here, you already know jalousie windows don’t meet Broward County’s impact-resistance standard. You may not know that retrofitting them properly means cutting concrete. TruePane handles that work start to finish, with honest pricing and a written warranty registration before the crew leaves your driveway. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wilton Manors’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Our crews work in Wilton Manors every week, and we’ve spent enough days on Northeast 21st Court, Northwest 29th Street, and the streets east of Andrews Avenue to know what’s behind the walls here. Not drywall. Concrete block, with jalousie frames cast in place. That changes how an install goes. We plan for it, price for it, and don’t pretend it’s a simple frame swap.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a simple rule that still sits on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re a second-generation glazier’s shop, not a franchise, and we hire local people, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day. Wilton Manors homeowners have dealt with enough contractors who disappeared after the check cleared. We plan to still be in town and still answering the phone in thirty years.
Every Wilton Manors job gets the same standard: background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck pulls away. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s backed by a Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Wilton Manors
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Wilton Manors homes built before 1965 still have their original jalousie windows, or early single-pane aluminum frames set directly into the masonry buck. Neither option meets the Florida Product Approval standard that Broward County enforces without exception for older homes. We replace them with impact-rated single-hungs, double-hungs, or casements sized to the original opening after the masonry is cut back. The result is a window that passes inspection, seals against wind-driven rain, and still fits the flat-roof, mid-century lines of your home.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
If your insurance company is asking for a wind mitigation report, or the city flagged your jalousies during a repaint permit, this is the service. We walk the property, identify every non-compliant opening, and give you a written scope of work with code references. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand with you until the paperwork clears. That’s been the standard on our Wilton Manors jobs for years.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Front doors, side entries, and French doors on Wilton Manors properties face the same salt air as the windows, plus daily sun exposure that warps cheap steel and rots unsealed wood. We install impact-rated entry and French doors with fusion-welded frames, stainless hardware, and Florida Product Approval documentation. Salt-air corrosion on original aluminum hardware is a consistent problem about 3.5 miles from the Atlantic, and we spec materials that hold up to it.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Many Wilton Manors ranchers opened onto the backyard with a slider, and many of those original sliders are single-pane and off-track. We replace them with impact-rated models from manufacturers like Milgard and Simonton, sized to the existing rough opening after we verify the concrete lintel and the floor track. On homes near the Middle River, we pay close attention to door hardware and track corrosion, because the river air moves through those back walls all summer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wilton Manors
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Wilton Manors jobs we typically quote, and Ply Gem side by side on paper so you can see exactly what each line costs and what the warranty covers. For folks who want a specific mid-century window profile, Jeld-Wen also offers impact-rated products that read clean on a CBS ranch. We don’t push one brand. We show you the numbers and the warranty durations, and you decide. Our local parts stock means we’re not waiting on a regional warehouse for common hardware, either.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Wilton Manors Homes
- Jalousie openings cast into concrete block. The original rough opening dimensions on Wilton Manors CBS homes are almost never standard. Installing an impact window without cutting the block back leaves a frame that doesn’t seat properly against the masonry, which means water gets in around the jamb over time.
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and door hardware. Homes within a few miles of the Atlantic and along the Middle River corridors develop white crust on aluminum and pitting on door hinges and tracks. We replace the hardware with marine-grade stainless when we do the window or door job.
- Misaligned interior reveals from drywall-return frame depths. When a window was originally set in a concrete buck, the interior reveal is deeper than a drywall return. If a standard frame depth is used, the interior trim doesn’t sit flush and the mid-century profile the owners wanted to preserve gets lost. We spec frame depths that match the original buck before ordering.
- Estimates priced by crews used to wood-frame construction. A Plantation or Davie contractor who doesn’t know Wilton Manors CBS construction may quote a number that skips the masonry saw and patch step. That misses six to ten labor hours per opening, and the bill lands on the homeowner mid-job. Our estimates include the concrete work because we know it’s required here.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Wilton Manors, FL
Here’s what we see on Wilton Manors jobs in the current market. A single impact-rated double-hung replacement on a CBS home, including the masonry cut-back and patch, runs roughly $1,100 to $1,850 per window depending on the manufacturer line and the frame depth. Impact sliders typically land between $3,200 and $5,800 for a standard six-foot opening with brickmold and sill. Impact entry doors run $2,800 to $6,200 including the frame, threshold, and stainless hardware. French door sets are usually $5,500 to $9,500 for a pair with sidelights. If you’ve been quoted a number by a contractor who didn’t mention the concrete work, ask them where the masonry hours are in the bid. You’ll already know they’re not there. Every TruePane estimate is free and written line-item, with no change orders once the work is scoped. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll put the numbers on paper.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Wilton Manors
Because the original jalousie openings on Wilton Manors CBS homes were cast into the concrete block at the time of construction, and those rough opening dimensions don’t match modern standardized frame sizes. You can’t simply slide a standard impact window into a jalousie hole. The concrete block needs to be cut back with a masonry saw, patched, and flashed before the new frame goes in. That’s what makes this market different from drywall-framed construction in Plantation or Davie, and it’s why our estimates always include the masonry labor. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free line-item quote on your actual openings.
It is enforced, and there are no exceptions for older buildings. The post-Hurricane Andrew building code applies to replacement windows and doors on every residential property in Broward County, including Wilton Manors CBS homes from the 1950s and 1960s. If you’re replacing a jalousie window, the new unit must carry Florida Product Approval for impact resistance, and the install must pass inspection. Trying to install non-impact windows to save money will fail the permit process and likely void your homeowner’s insurance protection. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection on every Wilton Manors job. Call (863) 264-3649 to talk through what your specific home requires.
We remove the corroded frames and hardware entirely, and we replace them with materials designed to stand up to salt air. On impact window installs, that means fusion-welded aluminum or vinyl frames with corrosion-resistant hardware. On entry and French doors, we spec stainless hinges, thresholds, and strike plates rather than the zinc-coated steel that pits after a few seasons in Wilton Manors. About 3.5 miles from the Atlantic and along the Middle River, this is a standard part of our scope, not an add-on. The fix is permanent, not a repaint. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll quote the correct materials for your location.
It doesn’t have to, and on most Wilton Manors homes it shouldn’t. We order frame depths and interior casing profiles that match the original mid-century reveal, and we keep the flat-roof, block-built exterior profile intact. On Northeast 21st Court, we replaced a 1958 CBS bungalow’s jalousie windows with Simonton impact-rated double-hungs. Our crew cut back the concrete block openings with a masonry saw, set the fusion-welded frames into the jamb, and used flashing tape before reinstalling the original mid-century interior casing. The home keeps its period look and now passes Broward County wind code. We can do the same on your house. Call (863) 264-3649 to see samples and profile options.
Plan on about $180 to $320 more per opening for the masonry work, depending on how thick the original block is and whether the jalousie frame was set with a steel lintel that needs to stay. That covers cutting back the concrete, patching the reveal, and flashing the new frame correctly. A contractor who doesn’t know Wilton Manors CBS construction will either miss that cost entirely or bury it later as a mid-job change order. We write it into the first estimate, on paper, before you sign. On average, a complete Wilton Manors double-hung impact install runs $1,100 to $1,850 per window once the concrete work is included. Call (863) 264-3649 for an exact quote on your openings.
