Window Replacement in Sunrise - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Sunrise

Window replacement in Sunrise, FL usually runs $850-$2,400 per opening for a standard impact-rated insert, with full frame replacement on 1970s-era CBS homes typically landing between $1,400 and $3,800 per window once stucco repair and flashing work are counted. Every unit we install here must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County product approval, because Sunrise sits entirely inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That one code requirement eliminates most off-the-shelf window lines before you even start looking at glass packages. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk your openings, measure them twice, and put actual numbers on paper.

If your house was built before 1994, you’re almost certainly living behind original single-pane aluminum frames that wouldn’t pass today’s wind-load test on their best day. We’ve replaced enough of them across Sunrise Lakes, Welleby, and Sawgrass Mills-adjacent neighborhoods to know exactly what you’re dealing with before we knock on the door.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Window Replacement Company

We’re not the franchise van that showed up in Sunrise last year with a wrapped truck and a leased phone number. TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier, and we’ve been setting windows square for more than years. Around Sunrise, that means our crews know the difference between a 1978 Welleby CBS tract home and a 1983 Sunrise Lakes condo tower before they unload the van. The code requirements differ. The flashing details differ. The way stucco returns meet the rough opening differs. A crew that treats them the same is a crew you’ll pay twice.

Dale’s rule is on the whiteboard in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and our technicians show up in uniform, background-checked, and carrying enough drop cloths to respect a Sunrise home that’s had the same furniture since the Reagan administration. You’ll get both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard. That’s how we work.

When you call (754) 238-2201, a live person answers. Not a callback queue. Not a regional call center in another time zone. You’ll talk to someone who knows Sunrise addresses and can schedule a free estimate without making you repeat your street name five times.

Our Window Replacement Services in Sunrise

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement is the default recommendation for most Sunrise homes built between 1968 and 1985. The original aluminum frame gets pulled entirely, down to the rough opening, and we inspect the stucco return and wood buck for water damage before installing a new, code-compliant frame. In Sunrise, this matters more than in most cities, because the open Everglades fetch west of town subjects your outer walls to wind-driven rain in a way a coastal city with dense construction doesn’t. A full frame replacement in Sunrise lets us add flashing tape over the sealed joints and set stainless steel fasteners where the old mitered corners gave way. Full frame work on a typical 1,400-square-foot Sunrise rancher usually runs $1,400-$3,800 per opening, depending on size and stucco repair.

Insert Window Replacement

When the original frame is still square and the stucco around it is intact, an insert replacement keeps the labor lighter and the price lower. We set a new window unit inside the existing frame, shim it true, and seal it. In Sunrise, that’s a realistic option on some of the better-built 1980s CBS homes in the western sections, where the aluminum frames have held up and the owner just wants the single-pane glass gone. An insert replacement in Sunrise typically runs $850-$2,400 per window, including impact-rated glass. But we’ll tell you honestly if your frame is too far gone for an insert, because some Sunrise homes we see should have gone full-frame a decade ago.

Storm Window Replacement

True storm window replacement in Sunrise means something more than slapping a second pane on the outside. It means impact-rated glazing that carries Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County product approval. No exceptions. We install impact windows from PGT, CGI, and CWS, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see the real cost difference between a basic impact sash and a higher-end fusion-welded casement. Storm replacement in Sunrise starts around $1,100 per opening for a standard double-hung and climbs with frame material and size. Condo owners should know: your association board may already have specs on file after another unit’s retrofit.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

The humidity west of the Everglades works your air conditioner harder than most people realize. A single-pane window in Sunrise transfers heat at roughly double the rate of a modern low-E insulated unit. We upgrade Sunrise homes to double-pane argon-filled glass with low-E coatings that keep the afternoon sun off your cooled air. Energy-efficient replacement in Sunrise usually runs $950-$2,800 per window, and the difference on your FPL bill shows within two summer bill cycles. You’ll feel it before you see the bill, honestly.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and CWS. For Sunrise specifically, those three matter, because they hold the Miami-Dade NOA approvals your permit reviewer is going to look for. We stock common hardware and replacement parts for these brands in our South Florida warehouse, which means faster turnaround on service calls to Sunrise without waiting on a freight truck from the Midwest. When we quote you PGT versus CGI versus CWS, we put the lines side by side on paper: glass package, frame spec, warranty duration, and price. You see exactly what you’re paying for, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Sunrise Homes

• Corroded aluminum frames that bind or drop. The salt-laden humidity in western Broward eats uncoated aluminum jamb tracks and sash corners on original 1970s windows. We regularly see operable sashes seized in their jambs on Welleby and Sunrise Lakes homes, and the fix is almost always full frame replacement, not a quick hardware swap.
• Permanently fogged insulated glass. When an argon-filled unit loses its seal in Sunrise’s humidity, the interior cavity condenses against the warm glass and you get a permanent fog no amount of cleaning touches. The only real fix is glass replacement or a new unit.
• Mitered corner failures under wind load. Original windows on 1970s Sunrise tract homes used mitered aluminum corners without fusion welding or marine-grade finish. Under HVHZ wind loads, those corners crack, water drives into the rough opening, and the stucco return rots behind the wall line. If you see hairline cracks at the corner joints, the frame is telling you it’s done.
• Oversized fixed glass with no impact rating. Some Sunrise condos from the 1980s feature big fixed picture windows that were never impact-rated. Today they’d fail a Broward County wind-load check outright. Replacing them with impact-rated laminated glass is not optional in Sunrise if the opening carries a permit, and your association board knows it.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Sunrise

Why does Sunrise require a different window approval than Tamarac or Plantation?

Sunrise sits entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every window and door replacement must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Broward County product approval. Tamarac and Plantation fall in a different wind zone, where standard Florida product approval still passes. That single code line changes what products we can legally install in your Sunrise home. Call (754) 238-2201 and ask us to walk your openings and show you which approved lines fit your budget.

Can I reuse my existing aluminum window frames and just replace the glass in Sunrise?

Only if the existing frame is structurally sound, square, and carries no corrosion at the corners or jamb tracks. On most 1970s-era Sunrise CBS homes, the frames we see are too far gone to reuse, and the original aluminum was never mitered or finished well enough to hold up under today’s wind loads. We’ll tell you straight after we pull the sash and inspect the frame, and we won’t sell you a glass pack on a frame that’ll crack at the seams. For an honest assessment, call (754) 238-2201.

What does a failed window seal look like in Sunrise’s humidity?

It looks like permanent fog or condensation you can’t wipe off the inside or outside of the glass. In Sunrise, blown seals happen faster than anywhere else in the county, because the constant humidity forces condensation against the warm exterior-facing glass once the argon fill escapes. If you see fog that never clears, the unit is done and needs glass replacement or a new window. We diagnose free.

Does a condo window replacement in Sunrise Lakes require a building-wide permit?

Yes, and that’s one of the biggest differences between condo work and single-family work in Sunrise. On a Sunrise Lakes Phase 3 building, we pulled a building-wide permit after the association board finally approved impact-rated casement windows for all 48 units. The original single-pane aluminum frames were so corroded from decades of humidity that the sashes had seized in their jambs, and the old jalousie hardware snapped during removal. We replaced them with fusion-welded frames, stainless steel fasteners, and flashing tape over sealed joints so the salt air and driven rain stay out. If you sit on a condo board, call us. We’ll walk the building with you and explain the permit sequence, the approval documents, and what the project timeline actually looks like.

Why do impact-rated casement windows cost more than a standard casement for a Sunrise home?

Because the laminated impact glass, fusion-welded frame corners, stainless steel hardware, and Miami-Dade NOA testing all cost real money, and none of it is optional inside the HVHZ. A standard casement window that passes code in Tamarac won’t clear a Sunrise permit review. You’re paying for a window engineered to take a 2×4 at 34 miles per hour without breaching, and to keep its seals intact through decades of Sunrise humidity. The price difference is $400-$1,200 per window, and it’s the difference between a five-year window and a 40-year window. For exact numbers on your openings, call (754) 238-2201. Estimates are free, and we’ll show you the lines side by side.
