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

Trusted Window Replacement for Davie Homeowners

Window replacement in Davie, FL typically costs between $450 and $1,400 per window for standard vinyl or aluminum units, and $900 to $2,800 per opening for impact-rated glass, depending on size, frame material, and whether the existing frame is sound or needs full replacement. Most homes in Davie need between 8 and 14 windows replaced, which puts a full-home project somewhere between $5,000 and $22,000. TruePane Windows & Doors has been setting windows square in this part of Broward County since 2008 through Dale Kessler’s craft tradition, and we quote every job line by line so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we touch the first sill.

If you’ve got a window that fogs between the panes, a frame that’s soft at the corners from our summer humidity, or rooms that never really cool down in August, the repair-versus-replace question is usually settled by one thing: age. Most builder-grade windows in Davie tract homes from the 1970s through the 1990s hit the end of their service life at 20 to 25 years. After that, seals fail, frames warp, and the glass is doing almost nothing for your electric bill. We’ll measure every opening twice, show you manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. Call (863) 208-5172 and a live person will answer.

Key Takeaways:

• Davie window replacement runs $450-$1,400 per window standard, $900-$2,800 per impact opening
• Broward humidity and coastal salt air shorten window life compared to inland climates
• We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave the job
• Every install carries our Done Right Promise under The Keystone Standard
• Live person answers the phone 24/7 at (863) 208-5172

What Our Window Replacement Service Includes

Full window replacement means we pull the old window down to the rough opening and set a brand-new unit in its place. Here’s what that looks like across the five types of work we do most often for Davie homeowners:

Full Frame Replacement

A full frame replacement takes everything out, the glass, the sash, the frame, the trim, and sets a completely new unit into the rough opening. You need this when the wood around the window has rot from South Florida rain and humidity, or when you want to change the window style entirely, like going from a fixed picture window to a vented casement. TruePane pulls the old frame, checks the rough opening for rot or termite damage, corrects what needs correcting, and sets the new frame square with flashing and sealant done in the order the manufacturer specifies. This is the only way to fix a window when water has already gotten behind the frame and into the wall cavity. We quote it honestly: if a neighbor got an insert-only quote and you want full frame, the price difference is real, but so is the difference in what’s protected.

Insert Window Replacement

An insert replacement, sometimes called a pocket replacement, leaves your existing frame in place and slides a new window unit inside it. This only works if the current frame is still solid, square, and dry, which we verify before we ever write the quote. Inserts are popular in Davie’s newer subdivisions like Forest Ridge and Shenandoah, where the homes are 20 to 30 years old and the original aluminum frames are decent but the glass seals have failed. We’ll tell you straight if your frame is too far gone for an insert, because setting a new window into a soft frame is how you get a warranty voided and a wall that leaks. The upside of inserts is less labor and a cleaner install day; most insert jobs are done in a single visit.

Storm Window Replacement

Storm windows in Davie serve a different purpose than up north. Here they’re not keeping out snow drifts, they’re the first line against wind-driven rain and debris when a tropical system slides across Broward County. A proper storm window replacement means new impact-rated glass or new secondary glazing that meets the current Florida Building Code for wind-borne debris zones. We install storm units and impact windows that are tested for the pressures Davie actually sees, and we’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, which are the two lines most of our Davie and Weston customers ask for by name. If your current storm windows are original to a 1980s or 1990s home, they almost certainly don’t meet the updated code provisions adopted after Hurricane Andrew.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

An energy-efficient upgrade means replacing windows that are still structurally fine but thermally useless. We’re talking single-pane aluminum frames that bake in the Broward sun and transfer heat straight into your living room. A modern low-E double-pane unit cuts solar heat gain significantly, and in Davie’s climate, that’s hundreds of dollars a year on cooling if you’re replacing a full wall of western or southern exposure glass. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see the U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient of each option, not just the price tag. Dale Kessler’s rule on this is simple: buy the best glass you can afford for the windows that get the most direct sun, and don’t overpay for north-facing openings that never see a ray.

Historic Window Restoration

Davie has a few older ranch homes and pre-1960s builds where the windows are part of the house’s character, and ripping them out for vinyl would knock value off the place. Historic window restoration means we rebuild the existing sashes, re-glaze the panes, replace broken muntins and mullions, and restore the window to service without destroying what makes it worth keeping. This is slower work than a replacement, and it costs more than an insert, but it’s the right answer for the right house. TruePane does restoration, not just replacement, because a second-generation glazier respects old glass. We’ll tell you honestly if restoration is throwing good money after bad, and if it is, we’ll show you a replacement that honors the original proportions.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement

We’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, which are the two Florida impact-glass lines that dominate the Davie, Southwest Ranches, and Weston markets. PGT’s WinGuard series is the one we set most often in Davie because it’s engineered for exactly the wind and debris conditions South Florida sees, and we’ve installed enough of them to know their frame geometry and flashing requirements without guessing. CGI’s Estate Collection is the step-up option we recommend for homes on larger lots in western Davie where owners want a heavier frame and higher design pressure ratings.

We also service and replace Simonton and Ply Gem units regularly. Simonton’s vinyl double-hungs show up in a lot of Davie homes built between 1995 and 2010, and we know which generations have seal-failure patterns worth watching. Ply Gem, now part of Cornerstone Building Brands, makes a solid mid-range vinyl line that we quote often for budget-conscious full-frame replacements. Whether you have Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, CGI, or any other make from our authorized lines including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and Milgard, we can help you replace it or find the right upgrade. We quote side by side on paper because you should see what you’re buying, not hear a sales pitch.

Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now

• You can see fog or haze between the panes. That’s a failed seal, and it means the insulating gas has escaped and the glass is doing nothing for your energy bill. Once a seal fails, the only real fix is new glass or a new window; we see this constantly in Davie homes 15 to 25 years old, especially on western-facing walls that cook all afternoon.
• You can feel heat or cold radiating through the glass when you stand next to it. Single-pane windows transfer heat directly into your home, and in August that shows up as a room that never cools below 78 no matter how hard the AC runs. An energy-efficient replacement pays for itself over time in lower FPL bills, and we’ll show you the glass specs so you understand the difference.
• The window is hard to open, hard to close, or won’t stay open. That’s a balance or hinge problem, and on old aluminum windows it’s often a sign the frame has shifted or the track is pitted from salt air. When a window binds, you’re one hard shove from a broken sash, and a window that won’t open is a safety problem if you ever need to exit through it in an emergency.
• You see water stains, soft drywall, or peeling paint around the window frame. Water is getting in, and by the time you see a stain on the interior wall, it’s been happening for a while. In Davie’s summer thunderstorm cycle, a leaking window introduces moisture into the wall cavity every time it rains, and that’s how you get rot and mold. This is a full-frame replacement situation more often than not.
• You’re hearing road noise from 595 or University Drive that you never noticed before. Old windows with failed seals and worn weatherstripping leak sound almost as much as they leak air. Modern double-pane glass with laminated interlayers cuts traffic noise noticeably, and if you’re in a neighborhood near the Turnpike or I-75, that’s a quality-of-life upgrade worth considering even if the glass isn’t fogged yet.

Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   We walk every window with you and measure twice. Dale Kessler’s rule is that a window is measured twice or it isn’t measured. We inspect each opening for squareness, check for rot or water damage around the frame, and talk through what you’re experiencing in each room. We don’t do one-measurement quotes or estimate from satellite photos.
2. 2
   We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. You’ll see the makes and models we recommend, the glass package each one includes, the warranty durations for each layer, and the installed price per window. No good-better-best presentation, no surprise line items at the end. You decide what to spend, and we tell you honestly what each option buys you.
3. 3
   We order the windows and coordinate permits. Davie requires permits for most full-frame replacement work, and we pull them under our license so the inspection trail is clean. Lead times vary by manufacturer; we tell you up front what your line’s lead time is and we schedule your install date before we order, not after.
4. 4
   Our uniformed, background-checked technicians set the windows and register both warranty layers. Install day means drop cloths down, old windows out, new windows set square and flashed correctly, sealant tooled clean, trim cleaned up. Before our truck leaves your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing and you have a copy in hand.
5. 5
   We walk the job with you and stand behind it. You see every window before we consider the job done. If you find anything that isn’t right, our Done Right Promise means we make it right, no paperwork fight and no arguing. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
