Custom Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Fort Lauderdale

Custom windows and doors in Fort Lauderdale have to clear a bar that most Florida cities never face. Every replacement unit, whether it’s a custom arch window on a Coral Ridge ranch or a full-storefront package on Las Olas, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or approved Florida Product Approval rating. No exceptions, no shortcuts. TruePane has handled Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements for years, and we handle the entire job from measurement to final inspection. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll give you a straight answer about your openings, your options, and your price.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company

Our Custom Windows & Doors team works Fort Lauderdale every week, from Victoria Park to Shady Banks. We know which permits the city wants, which inspectors actually check the NOA sticker, and which manufacturers keep impact-rated custom sizes in their Florida queue. Homeowners call us after a cheap bid left them with a failed inspection or a window that didn’t fit the rough opening. We fix that.

Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to a jalousie teardown in Lauderdale Isles the same as it applies to a 12-foot impact slider on a Rio Vista canal front. Our technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in writing on every Fort Lauderdale job.

Fort Lauderdale’s housing stock doesn’t do off-the-shelf. CBS block homes built between 1950 and 1980, canal-front spans, mid-century storefronts, custom shapes that were somebody’s 1972 idea of style. We build to the opening we find, not the opening a stock size assumes.

Custom Shape Windows

Arched, radius, eyebrow, trapezoid, triangle, half-round. Fort Lauderdale homes, especially in Coral Ridge and the finger islands off Las Olas, have shapes that no big-box inventory covers. We order impact-rated custom shape windows with Miami-Dade NOA approval, in sizes cut to your exact rough opening, not shimmed into a gap. Typical custom shape windows in Fort Lauderdale run $900-$2,800 per unit installed, depending on size, glass package, and frame material.

Commercial Storefront Glazing

Storefront systems on Fort Lauderdale’s commercial corridors, from Wilton Drive to Sunrise Boulevard, are working hard. Salt air eats aluminum frames. Hurricane wind loads flex large glass spans until seals break. We replace and upgrade storefront glazing with HVHZ-compliant systems, including impact-rated storefront doors and sidelites that pass Broward County inspection the first time. Expect $65-$140 per square foot for a typical Fort Lauderdale storefront replacement, installed.

Curtain Wall Systems

For larger commercial and mid-rise buildings in Fort Lauderdale, curtain wall replacement is a structural conversation, not a glass conversation. Wind-load calcs matter. Anchoring matters. Drainage plane continuity matters. We work with a licensed structural engineer on every curtain wall job, pull permits, and schedule inspections. Curtain wall systems in Fort Lauderdale typically run $140-$280 per square foot installed, depending on span, access, and impact requirements.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs

Simulated divided lites give a Fort Lauderdale mid-century home the look it had in 1965, with an impact-rated glass package inside. We match bar width, profile, spacing, and color to the original windows, then build the SDL into the sealed unit so there’s nothing to clean between. Architectural grilles and SDL packages in Fort Lauderdale add $18-$40 per square foot on top of the base window cost, and we quote it as a line item so you see exactly what you’re paying for.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

For custom impact windows and doors, we lean on when the job calls for it, but we’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen lines including PGT and CGI, two names that carry deep Miami-Dade NOA approval lists and short Florida lead times. We quote lines side by side on paper so a Fort Lauderdale homeowner can compare glass packages and prices without a sales pitch. Local parts inventory at our South FL dispatch office means we’re not waiting on a Texas warehouse for common hardware.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• Fogged, failed seals from constant humidity. Fort Lauderdale humidity sits above 70% most of the year, and canal air adds salt. A single-pane retrofit without impact-grade insulated glass will fog between the panes within five to seven years. We see it in Seven Isles and Coral Ridge Isles regularly.
• Corroded hardware and pitted aluminum sills on canal-front doors. Zinc hardware and raw aluminum sills on waterway-facing sliding doors oxidize into white pitting within two or three seasons. Sliding doors stick, lock bolts won’t throw, and the door becomes a security problem. We spec stainless hardware and anodized or vinyl-clad frames as standard on canal-front work, not as an upsell.
• Non-HVHZ impact windows that fail final inspection. An out-of-town contractor installs impact windows without a Miami-Dade NOA. The inspector flags it. The permit can’t close. The homeowner tears out new units and pays twice. We check the NOA before we order, not after we install.
• Non-standard rough openings in CBS block homes. Original jalousie and single-pane sliders in Fort Lauderdale’s 1950s-to-1980s concrete block homes rarely match modern stock sizes. Custom-ordered impact units are the only way to get a clean fit without reframing the opening, and we measure twice before we order.
