Impact window and door replacement in Plantation runs $850-$2,400 per opening for most CBS ranch homes, with full-house projects on 1960s-1980s builds typically landing between $14,000 and $38,000 depending on opening count, custom sizing, and the condition of the concrete bucks behind the old frames. Our Impact Windows & Doors team works Plantation every week, and we know what your walls hide before we cut into them. If you live in Jacaranda Lakes, Plantation Acres, or anywhere off Broward Boulevard, call (754) 238-2201 and a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person who knows Plantation’s code requirements and will schedule your free estimate on the spot.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Plantation’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Plantation homeowners call us because we tell them the truth about their concrete. The city’s CBS construction means every window and door anchor matters, and we have spent years pulling failed installs out of Plantation block walls, installed originally by crews from wood-frame markets who did not know the difference. Our founder, Dale Kessler, is a second-generation glazier who started TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 because out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems he refused to leave unfixed. That founding rule still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We hold an authorized installer status with more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, so Plantation customers get side-by-side quotes on paper, not a sales pitch for one brand. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. And before the truck leaves your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with durations stated. That is The Keystone Standard, and we have never asked a Plantation homeowner to argue with a warranty department on our behalf.
Response time to Plantation is usually next-day for estimates and same-week for most installs. We do not promise same-day service on impact window replacement because proper NOA anchoring into CBS block takes time, and rushing it is how red tags happen. We will be there when we say, and the work will be done right the first time.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Plantation
Hurricane Impact Windows
We replace original aluminum jalousie, awning, and single-pane sliders in Plantation’s CBS ranch homes with impact-rated units that carry Miami-Dade NOA product approval. The difference matters here: Plantation sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and an inspector will check your paperwork, not just your glass. We order custom sizes when your 1972 opening does not match modern standard dimensions, which happens on more than half the homes we touch in this city. Our crews anchor directly into concrete block or poured concrete bucks using the exact fastener type, embedment depth, and spacing listed in the product’s NOA.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Older sliders in Plantation are a recurring problem. Many were set with wood drywall screws into block instead of HVHZ-rated concrete screws, and Broward inspectors red-tag those jobs on sight. We pull the old frame, inspect the concrete buck behind it, repair any spalling, and re-set the new impact-rated slider to the manufacturer’s NOA specifications. For homes in neighborhoods like Plantation Isles and The Ridges, where sliders open onto patio decks and pools, a properly anchored impact slider stops both wind-driven water and an insurance premium hit.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors on Plantation’s 1960s-1980s builds are often original hollow-core wood or thin aluminum, and they flex under HVHZ wind pressures no door was ever designed to take. We install impact-rated entry and French door systems that meet Broward’s stricter-than-state standard, anchored into the concrete buck with the fasteners the NOA specifies. You get a door that closes square in July and stays square in a storm.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening on most Plantation homes and the one most often overlooked. Original single-panel or thin aluminum doors from the 1970s cannot hold HVHZ wind loads, and when they fail, the pressure differential can lift your roof. We install impact-rated garage doors with reinforced tracks and bracing, and we document everything for your wind mitigation inspection. Broward’s mitigation program delivers measurable insurance discounts to homeowners who document fully impact-rated openings, and a garage door is part of that equation.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, along with several other manufacturer lines. That is not a badge on a website.

If a specific brand matters to you, we will quote it side by side against comparable lines so you see exactly what you are buying. A square deal, on paper, every time.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Corroded original aluminum frames. Plantation sits 8-10 miles inland, but salt-laden humidity still reaches the city and eats at aluminum single-pane frames within a decade. We regularly pull jalousie frames where the corners have oxidized through and the glass is held by habit, not hardware.
- Concrete bucks that were never waterproofed. When original 1960s and 1970s windows were set, many installers skipped the waterproofing behind the frame. We open the wall and find spalled, crumbling concrete that has to be structurally repaired before a new impact unit can go in. This is the single most common reason a Plantation window replacement quote moves.
- Undersized openings. A 1972 CBS ranch in Jacaranda Lakes does not have modern standard window dimensions. Original openings are often 3 inches shorter or narrower than any stock impact window, which means custom orders and a 4-6 week factory lead time unless the allowance is written into the contract before we start.
- Sliders anchored with the wrong fasteners. We pull older sliding glass doors in Plantation and find wood drywall screws driven into concrete block. An HVHZ-rated door requires the exact concrete screw type and embedment depth listed in its NOA, and a Broward inspector will red-tag anything less. We re-set those frames correctly the first time.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Plantation, FL
Expect to spend $850-$1,600 per opening for a standard impact single-hung or casement window on a Plantation CBS home, installed to HVHZ anchoring standards. Impact sliders run $2,800-$5,500 depending on width and custom sizing. Entry and French door systems start around $3,200 and go up from there, with impact-rated glass pushing the number higher. What moves the price most in Plantation is what we find when the old frame comes out: cracked concrete bucks, undersized openings, rotted bucks from decades of missing waterproofing. We write allowances for these conditions into your contract before we start, and any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No change orders that appear out of nowhere, no final bill that does not match the quote. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate and a line-item price you can take to your HOA or insurance agent.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Plantation
Plantation sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation that legally requires every replacement window and door to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an equivalent HVHZ-certified product approval. Most of Florida outside the HVHZ can install impact products without NOA documentation. In Plantation, the inspector checks the product approval number against your permit, and a window without a valid NOA gets red-tagged. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will walk you through which products in your quote carry NOA approval and which do not.
We price the structural repair as a written allowance in your contract before the job starts, then we show you the damaged buck in person when the old frame is out. The repair means cleaning out the spalled concrete, rebuilding the opening with proper concrete or a treated concrete buck, and letting it cure before the new impact unit is anchored in. It adds time and cost, but skipping it means the new window has nothing sound to hold on to. That is how failed installs happen, and we will not do it. Your estimator writes the allowance in writing before you sign anything.
You can, and many Plantation homeowners do exactly that. Shutters meet the HVHZ code requirement for impact protection, and Broward’s wind mitigation program will still credit them. But the original aluminum frames will keep corroding and leaking, and the energy loss on single-pane awning windows in a South Florida summer is significant. If you are replacing for insurance savings, shutters get you there. If you are also trying to stop the humidity and the draft, an impact window replacement is the permanent fix. We quote both options so you can compare the numbers side by side.
Plantation is far enough inland that salt is not the daily factor it is in beachfront communities, but the subtropical humidity still works on unprotected aluminum frames and accelerates IGU seal failure on non-impact glass. Impact windows carry stronger seals and corrosion-resistant finishes precisely because they are built for HVHZ environments. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing on your job, with durations stated, before we leave the driveway. If a seal fails inside the warranty period, we handle the claim. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on replacement windows that carry the full written warranty.
Yes. Plantation requires a permit for any window or door replacement, even a single jalousie unit, because the city verifies HVHZ anchoring and NOA compliance on every opening. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on site. You pay for the permit as a line item on the estimate, not as a surprise on the final bill. If you are replacing one window now and budgeting for the rest later, that is fine, but do not let an unpermitted crew talk you into skipping the inspection. It will surface in a wind mitigation inspection or a resale, and it will cost more to fix later.
Call (754) 238-2201 for your free Impact Windows & Doors estimate in Plantation. A live person answers 24/7, and we will schedule a time that works for you. We measure every opening twice, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That is the Keystone Standard, and it is how we have done every Plantation job for years.
