AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Wilton Manors
Window replacement in Wilton Manors usually runs $850-$2,400 per opening for impact-rated units installed into concrete block, and most jobs take one to two days once materials arrive. If you own one of the city’s post-war CBS bungalows, you’re almost certainly looking at masonry work as part of the job, not just a frame swap. TruePane Windows & Doors has replaced windows across Wilton Manors neighborhoods from West Side to the Middle River corridor, and we understand what these homes demand. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free estimate, and we’ll send a background-checked technician who measures every opening twice before quoting.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wilton Manors’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 around a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. The crew has carried that standard into hundreds of Wilton Manors homes, many of them original 1950s CBS builds with jalousie windows set straight into block. Customers here tend to know their houses better than most, and they tell us the same thing: they want a company that shows up on time, quotes on paper, and stands behind the work. That’s the Done Right Promise, backed by The Keystone Standard, with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. That matters in Wilton Manors, where impact approval is not optional. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a call center. When you call about a window that loses its seal or a frame corroding near the Middle River, you reach someone who can actually help. Our Window Replacement team covers the full scope, from one-unit swaps to whole-house retrofits. And we hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor community events because we plan to be here in thirty years.
Our Window Replacement Services in Wilton Manors
Full Frame Replacement
Most Wilton Manors homes need full frame replacement rather than a pocket insert. The original jalousie rough openings were cast into concrete block at non-standard dimensions, which means the old frame comes out entirely and the opening gets adjusted, usually with a masonry saw. We set the new impact-rated window into the block, seal it correctly, and patch the masonry so the finished work looks like it was always there. Expect $1,200-$2,400 per window for a full frame replacement with a mid-range impact unit.
Insert Window Replacement
For homes that already have modern aluminum or vinyl frames in good structural shape, an insert window replacement drops a new sash assembly into the existing frame. In Wilton Manors, this works best on 1980s and 1990s additions that were framed conventionally. The catch is that many of those older frames have salt-air corrosion at the corners, so we inspect the existing frame before recommending an insert. Inserts typically run $850-$1,500 per opening.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows are not a code-compliant substitute for impact-rated glazing in Wilton Manors, but they still serve a purpose on outbuildings, carports, and workshops. If you’re replacing a storm window that failed, we match the track style and glass type. For the main house, we’ll steer you toward a real impact-rated unit, because Broward County’s post-Hurricane Andrew code makes no exceptions for older homes. Storm window replacement runs $400-$900 per unit depending on size and glass.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
A jalousie window leaks air in every direction. Upgrading to low-E, argon-filled, impact-rated casements or picture windows cuts the cooling load in a concrete block house noticeably, especially in July. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see the SHGC and U-factor numbers before you spend a dollar. Energy-efficient upgrades in Wilton Manors typically run $1,000-$2,200 per window for impact-rated units with low-E glass and argon fill.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wilton Manors
TruePane installs and services PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, plus a full range of Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and Milgard lines. PGT and CGI are the workhorses in Wilton Manors because their impact-rated lines carry Florida Product Approval and hold up to salt air when installed correctly. We keep common hardware, replacement sashes, and seal materials in South Florida stock, and our scheduling is coordinated from the Miami metro office. That means faster turnaround when a Wilton Manors customer needs a warranty part swapped or a quote turned around quickly.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Wilton Manors Homes
- Jalousie openings that don’t match modern frame sizes. The original rough openings in these 1940s through 1960s CBS homes are almost never standard dimensions. Installers who quote from a catalog discover the problem after the old window is out. We plan for the masonry cut from the start.
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames. Wilton Manors sits about 3.5 miles from the Atlantic and is threaded with Middle River canals. That exposure accelerates pitting on aluminum frames, especially where flashing tape was skipped or scratched during a past install. We treat factory finish damage as a future failure point, not a cosmetic issue.
- Builder warranty restrictions on newer homes. Several master-planned pockets in Wilton Manors have builder warranties that require any window work to be done by a Florida-licensed contractor with documentation. Using a handyman or skipping HOA architectural review can void the warranty. We provide the paperwork you need before the work starts.
- Fogged seals on double-pane units. Seal failure between glass panes is common in this climate, where heat and humidity cycle hard against air-conditioned interiors. It’s not just cosmetic. Fogged glass means the argon fill is gone and the unit’s insulation value has dropped. We replace the sash when possible, which costs less than a full window.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Wilton Manors
Most window replacement estimates in Wilton Manors include a masonry line item because the original jalousie window openings were cast directly into concrete block with rough opening dimensions that don’t match modern frame sizes. The old opening has to be cut and patched to accept a new impact-rated unit. Some contractors leave this out of the estimate and add it after the old window is out. We include it up front, in writing. Call (863) 264-3649 for an exact quote.
You cannot keep actual jalousie windows and meet Broward County impact code, but you can keep the mid-century look with fixed and casement impact units in flat, wide configurations that honor the flat-roof MCM aesthetic. On a ranch house along NE 26th Drive, our crew cut new openings for impact-rated casements with low-E glass and argon fill, then patched the masonry cleanly. The homeowner kept the original sightlines and passed the impact inspection. We’ll help you choose manufacturer lines that offer slim frames and the right glass packages.
Replacing windows can void the builder warranty on a newer Wilton Manors home if the work is done by a handyman or without HOA architectural review. Many builder warranties in the area require a Florida-licensed contractor and written documentation of the work. TruePane is a licensed, insured contractor, and we provide the documentation your builder or HOA asks for before the first window comes out.
Fog between double-pane glass is a seal failure, not a cosmetic issue. The argon or krypton fill has escaped, and the unit’s insulation value has dropped, which means higher AC bills in a Wilton Manors summer. If the frame is sound, we can often replace just the sash. If the frame is corroded or the glass is impact-rated and compromised, a full replacement is the right call. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll inspect it.
Proximity to the ocean doesn’t change the rule. All of Wilton Manors is in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so impact-rated windows or equivalent shutters are mandatory on every residential structure, including older homes. There are no exceptions for jalousie-era houses. We install PGT, CGI, and ES Windows impact lines that carry Florida Product Approval and hold up to the salt air from the Middle River.
Ready for a real number? Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll send a uniformed TruePane technician to measure your openings, quote manufacturer lines on paper, and give you a line-item price before you commit. Free estimates, no pressure, no fine print that doesn’t hold up.
