Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Homeowners in Rio Vista and Coral Ridge tend to ask the same question after a bad experience: will anyone stand behind the work in writing? We do. TruePane was founded in 2008 by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier, and our Done Right Promise covers workmanship in plain terms, no fine print that covers neither the labor nor the product. What that means in practice is simple. If it is not done right, we make it right, without paperwork fights and without arguing.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, show manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway, that is The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Fort Lauderdale. More than a dozen manufacturer lines are available through us, including PGT, Simonton, and CGI, so you are not boxed into whatever the supply house had on hand.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Fort Lauderdale
Window Installation
We install new-construction and retrofit windows in Fort Lauderdale homes, including mid-century CBS construction where rough openings have shifted over decades and need real carpentry, not shims and hope. Every product we install carries a current Miami-Dade NOA where code requires it. Learn more about our Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and side-lite assemblies get the same treatment: measured twice, set square, flashed properly, and adjusted to clear the floor without binding come July humidity. We replace the jamb, the threshold, and the weatherstripping as a system, not as spare parts. Learn more about our Door Installation in Fort Lauderdale.
Window Replacement
Most homes east of I-95 are replacing original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows that no longer meet code and leak wind-driven rain at the rough opening. We remove the old window, inspect the flashing and framing, and set the new unit true. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale.
Impact Windows & Doors
Fort Lauderdale sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so Impact Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale are not an upsell, they are the legal minimum for most permitted replacements. We install PGT and CGI systems with NOAs on file and documented before inspection.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Fort Lauderdale with Low-E glass and a proper argon fill cut real dollars off your cooling bill, but only if the frame and the seal are engineered for salt air. We specify marine-anodized finishes and welded sashes that hold their seals in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity rather than failing at the five-year mark.

Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliding & Patio Doors - Fort Lauderdale installations often face water intrusion on canal-front lots, where driven rain hits the track and tests the flashing every season. We set heavy-gauge tracks, replace rollers with stainless hardware, and ramp the sill so water sheds away from the interior rather than pooling.

Glass Railing Systems
Glass Railing Systems - Fort Lauderdale on canal-front and pool-deck properties live in direct salt spray all year. We install frameless and framed systems with stainless or anodized hardware rated for marine exposure, and we make sure the glass spec matches what the building department and your HOA both require.

Custom Windows & Doors
Some openings in Progresso Village and Sailboat Bend were never standard, and no stock unit fits them without ugly filler. We order custom units to the quarter-inch and install them so the sightlines work from inside and out. Home to our full service map if you need to start broader.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Fort Lauderdale

Typical response time to most Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods is fast enough that you will not wait days for a callback, and a live person answers the phone around the clock.
Why Fort Lauderdale’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Fort Lauderdale falls within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every permitted window and door replacement must use products carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an equivalent Florida statewide approval. That is a stricter legal standard than most of Florida, and it is not something a contractor can skip and pass inspection. The city’s 165-plus miles of navigable canals add a second layer. A large share of residential properties sits close enough to salt water that frames and hardware oxidize far faster than in inland Broward communities. We regularly see aluminum frames from the early 2000s on canal-front homes east of I-95 that are already pitted and failing at the glazing seal because the original installer used standard-grade rather than marine-anodized finishes.
Most of Fort Lauderdale’s older residential neighborhoods, Rio Vista, Coral Ridge, Sailboat Bend, Progresso, were built as mid-century CBS construction from the 1950s through the 1970s. Many of those homes still have original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows that are both non-compliant for replacement permits and chronically infiltrated by wind-driven rain. The dense condo corridor along A1A and the Intracoastal adds HOA façade approval and often specialized rigging to upper-floor replacements. Humidity-driven frame expansion and chronic wind-driven rain at rough openings are the dominant callbacks for contractors who under-specify flashing or use non-HVHZ products.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Impact-rated window replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $900 to $2,800 per unit installed, depending on size, opening condition, and whether you choose PGT, CGI, or Simonton lines. Sliding impact doors run higher, often $3,200 to $7,500. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free, written estimate on your specific openings.
Yes. Fort Lauderdale sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every permitted window or door replacement must use products with a Miami-Dade NOA or equivalent state approval. We pull permits, pass inspections, and keep the NOA documentation on file for you and for the building department. Call (863) 208-5172 if you have a window that was installed without proper documentation and you want it corrected before you sell or file an insurance claim.
The salt air from Fort Lauderdale’s 165-plus miles of canals and its direct Atlantic exposure accelerates oxidation on aluminum frames, especially those installed before marine-anodized finishes became standard. We now specify marine-grade finishes and stainless hardware as the baseline on canal-front lots, not an upgrade. Call (863) 208-5172 and we will look at your frames and tell you what is salvageable.
Yes, with two extra steps. Most condo corridors along A1A and the Intracoastal require HOA façade approval before work begins, and upper-floor replacements often need rigging or lift equipment that changes the schedule. We coordinate directly with your association and handle the rigging plan so you are not the middleman. Call (863) 208-5172 with your building name and unit line and we will walk the process with you.
No. Our quotes are line-item and fixed before we order material. The only time a number changes is if we open the wall and find rot or termite damage you did not know about, and we will stop, show you the issue, and get your written approval before doing anything. No surprise line items on the bill. Call (863) 208-5172 and ask for a fixed quote on your project.

What Fort Lauderdale Customers Say
"Had fog between the panes in four windows. They explained the seals had failed and argon was long gone, replaced the glass units instead of selling me whole windows. Honest outfit."
- Frank D."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."French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S.
