AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across North Lauderdale
Window installation in North Lauderdale is rarely a casual upgrade. Most homes here were built between 1965 and 1985, and a large share still carry original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows that do not meet Broward County’s current wind-load requirements. That puts homeowners in a hard spot when an insurer issues a non-renewal notice or a permit inspection fails. TruePane Windows & Doors handles that problem every week. We install impact-rated and energy-efficient windows that carry valid Florida Product Approval, and we have crews working in North Lauderdale neighborhoods from SW 10th Court up to the blocks near McNab Road. If you need a straight answer about cost or code, call (863) 264-3649 and ask for a free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That is not a slogan. It is the standard our techs work to on every opening, and it matters most on older CBS homes where the original frames have been settling for fifty years. North Lauderdale customers call us because they want the work done right the first time, by a company that will still answer the phone in thirty years.
Our Window Installation team measures every opening twice, quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and registers both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard. We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, among others, so you are getting factory-trained installation, not a general handyman guessing at the flashing details.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form. When a North Lauderdale homeowner calls about a fogged seal or an insurance deadline, they talk to someone who knows the difference between a retrofit and a full-frame replacement on a 1972 CBS wall.
Our Window Installation Services in North Lauderdale
Casement Windows
Casement windows are one of the most common replacements we install in North Lauderdale, especially on CBS homes where the original jalousie units left a wide wall opening. A modern impact-rated casement seals tight against wind-driven rain and closes with compression, which matters in a climate where humidity sits near ninety percent for half the year. On SW 10th Court, our crew replaced a full wall of original jalousie windows with impact-rated casement units from Andersen after the homeowner’s insurer sent a non-renewal notice specifically citing those louvered panels. The job required a product approval submittal with the permit, and our techs had to grind out the old aluminum frames and install new pressure-treated bucks before setting the fusion-welded frames with flashing tape. The finished walls now meet the 175 mph design wind load for that exposure category. Most casement window installations in North Lauderdale run $850 to $1,800 per opening, depending on size and whether the wall needs structural work.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them a practical choice for North Lauderdale bathrooms and kitchens where you want ventilation even during an afternoon downpour. They shed water well and seal tighter than a sliding sash under positive wind pressure. On older CBS homes, we often pair an awning window with a fixed picture window to get light, airflow, and an impact rating in the same rough opening. Expect $700 to $1,400 per unit installed, including permit documentation.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows are the blunt answer to insurance pressure. They do not open, so they carry fewer engineering variables and typically cost less than operable units of the same size. In North Lauderdale living rooms and front elevations, a large impact-rated fixed window with a Florida Product Approval label is often the fastest way to bring a home’s opening protection into compliance. We quote them side by side with operable options so you see the real price difference on paper, not in a sales pitch. A typical fixed or picture window installation runs $600 to $1,500 per opening.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows remain the most familiar style for North Lauderdale homeowners replacing original aluminum sliders. But here is what we tell every customer before the estimate: on 1960s and 1970s CBS homes, the original aluminum frames are often so pitted and corroded from humidity that new sashes will not seal. Contractors who skip full-frame replacement leave air leaks that fail blower-door testing and void the manufacturer’s warranty. We will tell you if a retrofit is safe or if the wall needs a full tear-out with new pressure-treated bucks. Single and double hung installations in North Lauderdale typically run $750 to $1,600 per opening, more if structural framing is required.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we keep a deep familiarity with the product lines that work best on North Lauderdale’s CBS housing stock. PGT’s WinGuard line is a common choice on this side of Broward County because it carries Florida Product Approval ratings that satisfy the Wind-Borne Debris Region requirement without forcing you into the most expensive tier. CGI offers heavy-duty impact options for homes with larger fixed and picture windows. ES Windows gives us a strong frame for casement and awning installations where the wall opening needs custom sizing. When we quote your job, we put the manufacturers side by side on paper with the actual product approval numbers and the warranty term stated in writing.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Non-impact windows installed without a permit. We get calls from homeowners who paid for replacement windows, then failed a final inspection because the units lack Florida Product Approval for this wind zone. A tear-out is usually the only fix. That is avoidable with a compliant contractor from day one.
- Jalousie windows treated as like-for-like swaps. The old wall opening on a 1960s home is not structurally framed for a modern impact-rated unit. Without a proper header and king studs, the new window leaks under positive wind pressure and gets red-tagged. The fix requires structural work before the window goes in.
- Pitted aluminum frames left in place. Original frames on 1970s CBS homes are often badly oxidized from humidity. New sashes will not seat correctly, air leaks through the gaps, and the manufacturer voids the warranty. Full-frame replacement is the only durable answer.
- Insurance non-renewal letters citing unprotected openings. Several Florida insurers now list jalousie windows specifically as a disqualifying feature. Homeowners bring us the letter, and we build the quote to match exactly what the policy requires: product approvals, permit records, and a final inspection the insurer will accept.
Pricing for Window Installation in North Lauderdale, FL
A typical window installation in North Lauderdale runs $700 to $1,800 per opening, with casement and double hung units at the upper end and fixed windows at the lower end. A full-home replacement on a three-bedroom CBS house with twelve to fifteen openings generally lands between $12,000 and $24,000. Full-frame replacement costs more than a retrofit because we remove the old frame, install new pressure-treated bucks, and re-flash the opening correctly. Structural work for jalousie-to-impact conversions adds $400 to $900 per opening depending on the header and king stud requirement. Your estimate includes the permit, the product approval submittal, and the inspection documentation. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free, line-item quote. No change orders, no surprise line items.

FAQs - Window Installation in North Lauderdale
Yes. North Lauderdale falls within Broward County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, so every replacement window must carry a valid Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA rated for the site’s design wind pressure before the permit is issued. We handle the permit, the product approval submittal, and the final inspection as part of every quote. Call (863) 264-3649 for an exact cost on your home.
Several Florida insurers now explicitly list jalousie windows as a disqualifying feature because louvered glass panels provide essentially zero hurricane protection. Broward County homeowners with these non-impact openings are receiving non-renewal notices at the highest rate in the state. Replacing them with impact-rated casement, awning, or fixed units that carry a Florida Product Approval is the standard fix. We quote these conversions regularly. Call (863) 264-3649 to get a free estimate started.
We give you a packet that includes the permit file, the Florida Product Approval numbers for every unit installed, photographic documentation of the anchoring and flashing work, and a letter stating the work was completed to code and passed final inspection. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That documentation is what an insurer looks for when you ask them to reverse a non-renewal or reprice a policy.
On most North Lauderdale CBS homes built before 1985, no. The original aluminum frames are a single-pane channel system that was never engineered to carry the weight or wind load of an impact-rated laminated glass unit. The Florida Product Approval for the new glass requires the frame to be part of a tested assembly. Putting impact glass into an untested 1970s frame voids the product approval, fails inspection, and gives your insurer a reason to deny a claim. We will tell you honestly whether your frames qualify for a retrofit or need full replacement. Call (863) 264-3649 for a straight answer.
Ask for the Florida Product Approval number before you sign anything, then verify it on the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation database. The approval document lists the exact design pressure rating, the frame material, and the glass type the approval covers. If a contractor cannot provide that number in writing, the windows will not pass a North Lauderdale permit inspection. We include the product approval numbers in every written quote we give, on paper, before you agree to anything.
