Oakland Park sits far enough inland that some homeowners assume they can skip impact-rated glass. They’re usually the ones calling us after a summer storm peeled a patio screen and rattled every window in the north-facing wall. Dale Kessler founded TruePane with a rule that still hangs in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to the glass, the frame, the anchor, and the way the whole assembly holds up when the wind actually hits it.

We’re not the cheapest bid in Oakland Park. We’re the company that answers the phone when you call with a question about a job we finished eight years ago. That’s the difference, and we put it in writing.

What Our Impact Windows & Doors Service Includes

Impact protection is not one product. It’s a system, and every part of that system has to work together or the whole opening is compromised. In Oakland Park, where summer thunderstorms arrive with little warning and hurricane season runs six months out of the year, a properly installed impact-rated opening is the difference between riding out a storm and spending the next month fighting with an insurance adjuster. Here’s exactly what we do, broken down by the components we install and service.

Hurricane Impact Windows

Hurricane Impact Windows are rated glass assemblies built to absorb a 2×4 fired from a cannon without puncturing, and to hold their frame seal through sustained winds up to 150 miles per hour or more depending on the rating. Oakland Park homeowners typically need these when their existing single-pane aluminum frames start leaking air around the glazing bead, which you’ll notice as a whistle on windy days or a room that never quite holds temperature. TruePane measures every opening twice before ordering, because a quarter-inch error on a masonry opening in an older Oakland Park home means a window that fits wrong and voids its Miami-Dade NOA approval before it’s even anchored. We install laminated glass with structural silicone glazing in aluminum, vinyl, or wood-clad frames, and we register the manufacturer warranty before we leave the driveway.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass doors are the most frequently used opening in a Florida home, and the most frequently failed impact assembly when corners get cut. You need impact-rated sliders when your current track flexes under hand pressure, when the rollers bind mid-travel, or when the panel rattles against its frame during a passing thunderstorm. TruePane services and installs multi-track sliders up to 12 feet wide, and we spend extra time floating the sill so the panel rolls true instead of fighting the track every time you open it. A slider that binds in July is a slider that’s been installed out of level, and we’ve spent over four decades correcting exactly that kind of work.

Impact Entry & French Doors

An Impact Entry & French Door carries a different load than a window: it has to hold its own against a wind-borne branch, and it has to stay square under daily use for twenty years or more. Oakland Park homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often still have hollow-core or wood-slab front doors with no impact rating at all, which defeats the purpose of impact windows elsewhere in the home. TruePane installs impact French doors with multi-point locking hardware and compression seals that stop water intrusion at the threshold, not just at the head jamb. We also check the rough opening for termite or moisture damage before any new frame goes in, because anchoring a good door to a bad sill is a warranty claim waiting to happen.

Impact Garage Doors

Your Impact Garage Door is the largest single opening on your house, and if it’s not braced or built to impact standards, a storm can pop it inward and pressurize the whole structure from the inside, blowing out walls and lifting the roof. Oakland Park homes with attached garages need a door rated for impact or a set of storm braces that meet current Florida Building Code requirements. TruePane reinforces existing doors with vertical strut bracing and installs rated rolling assemblies built to handle wind loads up to 180 miles per hour depending on the opening size. We inspect the track, the hinge plates, and the motor mount, because a door that’s rated but hung on soft rollers fails at the worst possible moment.

Hurricane Shutters & Protection

Hurricane Shutters & Protection are the practical answer for homeowners who want storm protection without replacing every window, and they come in more forms than most people realize: accordion, roll-down, colonial, and storm panel systems all meet code when installed correctly. You need shutters when your windows are structurally sound but unrated, or when your budget this year covers protection but not replacement. TruePane installs and services all common shutter types across Oakland Park, and we verify the anchoring meets Broward County’s current wind load maps rather than the 1994 figures a lot of handymen still work from. We also stock replacement parts for older shutter systems, because a missing locking pin is all it takes to fail a post-storm inspection.

Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance

Wind mitigation is the part most homeowners never see: the anchoring, the strapping, the opening protection ratings, and the paperwork that proves it all. In Oakland Park, a valid wind mitigation inspection can cut your homeowners insurance premium by 20% or more, but only if the inspection report matches what’s actually bolted to your house. TruePane performs wind mitigation inspections and brings non-compliant openings up to current Florida Building Code standards, including roof-to-wall strapping recommendations and opening protection upgrades. We document everything with photos and written findings, and we’ve helped hundreds of Oakland Park homeowners turn an insurance letter into a lower premium instead of a denied claim.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows & Doors

We’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two names you’ll see most often on impact windows in Broward County, and we’ve installed thousands of their units across Oakland Park and the surrounding cities. PGT’s WinGuard and CGI’s Sentinel lines are both Miami-Dade NOA approved, and we know the lead times, the frame options, and the common failure points on each so the quote you get reflects reality rather than a brochure. We stock OEM seals and rollers for both lines, which means a slider that starts binding three years after install gets fixed on the first visit instead of waiting on a parts order.

We also install and service Andersen impact-rated offerings, including their Coastal product series built for high-wind zones, and Pella and Marvin lines for homeowners who want wood-clad interiors with impact glass. The difference is in the framing material and the hardware, not in whether the glass meets code, and we’ll show you side by side on paper what each option costs and what the warranty actually covers. Whether your home has PGT, CGI, Andersen, or any other make, we can assess it, service it, and bring it to code.

Signs You Need Impact Windows & Doors Right Now

• Your windows whistle when the wind blows from the east. That sound means the glazing seal or the frame weatherstripping has failed, and air is moving through the assembly. It’s not just a comfort problem; over time that air movement carries moisture into the wall cavity, and in Oakland Park humidity that means rot, mold, and swollen framing.
• Your current windows have no impact rating and you’ve seen the new insurance letters. Broward County insurers have tightened underwriting significantly in the last few years, and many Oakland Park homeowners are getting renewal notices with opening protection requirements they’ve never had to meet before. A wind mitigation inspection tells you exactly where you stand before the next policy period.
• Your sliding door binds in the summer and frees up in the winter. That’s thermal expansion working against an out-of-level installation, and it only gets worse. A sliding panel that binds is grinding down its own rollers, and the next failure is usually the panel jumping the track entirely.
• You can see daylight around the edges of a closed exterior door. If light gets through, so does water, wind, and insects. On an impact-rated door, any visible gap means the compression seal isn’t compressing, and the assembly is not performing to its rating.
• Your garage door flexes visibly when a strong gust hits it. An unbraced or under-rated garage door is the first thing to fail in a storm, and when it goes, it pressurizes the house and takes the rest of the structure with it. This is the opening most often ignored until it’s too late.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   On-site measurement and assessment. We come to your Oakland Park home, measure every opening twice with calibrated instruments, and document the condition of the existing frames, sills, and rough openings. You get a written condition report along with a clear explanation of what you’ve got and what it would take to bring it up to code, with no obligation and no charge for the visit.
2. 2
   Side-by-side written quote. We put manufacturer options on paper in front of you, with line-item pricing for glass, frames, hardware, labor, and any structural work the opening requires. You see exactly what each line costs, what the warranty duration is on each component, and what’s included. No allowance games, no “to be determined” entries.
3. 3
   Permit and code verification. We pull the permit when the job requires it, and we verify that the assembly rating matches Broward County’s current wind load map for your specific address rather than a generic zone. The opening protection level matters: an impact window rated for 140 miles per hour in a 170 mile per hour zone is not compliant no matter what the box says.
4. 4
   Installation and cleanup. Our uniformed, background-checked technicians install the new openings, level every frame, seal every penetration, and clean up the work area before they leave. We work the way we’d work in our own mother’s house, which means drop cloths, shoe covers, and a broom at the end of the day.
5. 5
   Warranty registration and final walkthrough. Before our truck leaves the driveway, both warranty layers are registered in writing with durations stated, and we walk every opening with you to make sure you understand how the hardware works and what maintenance the assembly needs. If something isn’t right, it gets fixed on the spot. That’s the Keystone Standard.
