We’re a second-generation glazier’s company, not a franchise, and a live person answers our phone at (754) 238-2201 any hour you call.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler started this company in 2008 with a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule has carried us through thousands of installations in Fort Lauderdale homes, from 1950s concrete block ranches in Croissant Park to high-rise condos along the A1A corridor. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Progresso Village and Edgewood call us because we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and back every job with the Done Right Promise. If something is not done right, we return and make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained as apprentices into journeymen, which means the person in your home plans to be doing this work in Fort Lauderdale for another twenty years.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Fort Lauderdale
Window Installation
New window installation in Fort Lauderdale starts with two measurements of every opening and a written quote that compares what you’re actually buying, line by line. We pull permits and make sure every unit carries the Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval the city requires.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale.
Door Installation
Fort Lauderdale humidity swells door jambs, and salt air corrodes hinges and thresholds faster than most homeowners expect. We install entry doors, impact-rated doors, and patio doors that hold their alignment through the wet season.

Window Replacement
Replacing original jalousie or single-pane windows in Fort Lauderdale is usually the point where a homeowner discovers their old units no longer meet code and cannot be permitted as a like-for-like swap. We handle that conversation straight, and we re-quote as a full impact-rated replacement when the city requires it.

Impact Windows & Doors
Fort Lauderdale sits in Wind Zone IV and within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. We install large-missile-rated systems from PGT, CGI, and CWS, with both warranty layers registered in writing.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Between the Atlantic sun and the canal humidity, Fort Lauderdale air conditioning runs most of the year. Low-E glass with proper frame insulation cuts that load measurably, and we quote Energy-Efficient Windows in Fort Lauderdale with the performance numbers printed on the estimate.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliding doors in canal-adjacent Fort Lauderdale homes take double punishment: salt air on the track and moisture on the frame. We install Sliding & Patio Doors - Fort Lauderdale with marine-grade tracks and hardware that do not bind in July or seize after a year of salt exposure.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass railings for Fort Lauderdale balconies, terraces, and canal-front decks have to handle wind loads most of the country never sees. We fabricate and install Glass Railing Systems - Fort Lauderdale engineered for Wind Zone IV and finished to resist the salt air that eats standard aluminum in this city.
Custom Windows & Doors
Some Fort Lauderdale homes, especially the mid-century concrete block builds, have openings no off-the-shelf unit will fit. We build custom windows and doors to the exact rough opening, and we measure twice before we order anything.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Fort Lauderdale
We work throughout Fort Lauderdale, and our crews know the difference between a 1950s jalousie house in Croissant Park and a coastal high-rise on Galt Ocean Drive. Typical response time for a free estimate across the city is a same-day or next-day phone call, with the site visit scheduled around your availability.

Why Fort Lauderdale’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Fort Lauderdale is one of only two U.S. counties in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means a window or door replacement here is a different job than the same work in Orlando or Tampa. The city requires every replacement unit to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval, a permitting layer those other markets never face. Then there is the water. Fort Lauderdale has roughly 165 miles of inland canals, which means homes a block off Las Olas or along the Middle River get Atlantic salt air from the east and canal humidity from the west at the same time. Standard aluminum frames and cheap hardware corrode within a few years in that environment. Add the city’s 60-plus inches of annual rain and its Wind Zone IV large-missile rating, and the practical answer is that marine-grade impact systems are not an upgrade here. In Fort Lauderdale they are the baseline.
The housing stock makes this even more direct. Fort Lauderdale’s dominant homes are 1950s through 1970s concrete block construction, and tens of thousands still have original single-pane jalousie windows. Those louvered units were a sensible mid-century Florida choice, but they now fail HVHZ code as replacement products and are effectively uninsurable. Along the A1A beachfront corridor, aging high-rise condominiums from the same era are going through mandatory milestone inspections under Florida’s post-Surfside SB 4-D law, which is triggering full window and door replacement projects in buildings untouched since original installation. When we get a call in Coral Ridge about a “simple window repair” and find original jalousies, the honest conversation is that the job must be re-quoted as a full impact-rated replacement before the city will issue a permit or an insurance carrier will renew the policy. We have had that conversation hundreds of times in Fort Lauderdale, and we have it straight the first visit.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
A single impact window in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $900 to $1,800 installed, and a full house package usually lands between $18,000 and $38,000 depending on the home’s size and the manufacturer line you choose. We quote PGT, CGI, CWS, and other lines side by side on paper so you see the difference in writing before deciding. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote, and remember estimates are free.
Fort Lauderdale sits within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, one of only two counties in the U.S. with that designation, so every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval. A window from Orlando or Tampa will not pass permit review here, and we handle the permitting so you are not stuck explaining product approvals to the city.
No. We quote a fixed, line-item price before we start, and we do not come back with change orders unless you ask for additional work. The estimate covers the units, the install, the permit, and both warranty layers registered in writing. If the pane is not true when we are done, we return under the Done Right Promise and make it right.
Yes, but not with new jalousies. Original louvered windows from the 1950s and 1960s fail HVHZ code as a replacement product, and most insurance carriers will not renew a policy with them still in place. The job becomes a full impact-rated window replacement. We explain that on the first visit, not after the permit application is rejected. Call (754) 238-2201 to have us look at what you have and quote what the city will actually permit.
Yes. We pull every permit required in Fort Lauderdale and we do not start an install until the permit is approved. The permit, the product approval numbers, and both warranty layers go into the written documentation you receive before the truck leaves the driveway.

What Fort Lauderdale Customers Say
"Eleven windows replaced in two days. The crew chief, Marcus, showed me the level on every single frame before they caulked it. My wife noticed the street noise was gone before I did."
- Ronald P."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L."Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
