Fast, Reliable Window Installation Across Davie
Window installation in Davie, FL means working on older concrete-block ranch homes, most of them built between the 1960s and early 1990s, and most still carrying original aluminum frames that were never meant to meet today’s wind code. We know these houses because we’ve opened hundreds of them. If you’re in Davie and you’re dealing with fogged glass, jalousie windows that won’t pass inspection, or a sliding door that binds in July, call us at (863) 208-5172. We’ll send a background-checked technician who measures twice, pulls the permit when it’s required, and gives you a written quote before any work begins.

Our crews serve Davie directly, coordinated from our South Florida office. We’re in your neighborhoods every week: Shenandoah, Forest Ridge, Palma Nova, and the equestrian-zoned acreage along Orange Drive and Flamingo Road. When a homeowner on Stirling Road needs a jalousie tear-out, or someone off Volunteer Road wants a side-by-side quote on impact-rated casements, we know the drive, the code office, and what the inspector will look for before we ever set foot in the house.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Davie’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every Window Installation we do in Davie, whether it’s a single sliding window in an original 1972 ranch or a full-house replacement on a barn-style equestrian property. We’re not a franchise. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and back every job with a Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway.
Davie homeowners have specific reasons for calling us. One, we answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No phone tree, no callback form. Two, we show up when we say. Punctual, uniformed, prepared. Three, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper: PGT and CGI for impact-rated openings, Simonton and Ply Gem where code allows non-impact. You see exactly what you’re buying, not a mystery number.
We’ve earned our reputation in Davie by doing the work most installers won’t touch: opening up a 1978 CBS ranch to find undersized framing, corroded jambs, and failed flashing, then fixing it properly and writing a clear change order so nothing moves without your signature. That’s not marketing. That’s the job.
Our Window Installation Services in Davie
Here’s what we install most often across Davie, and how each window type works in the town’s specific conditions.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung units are the most common replacement in Davie’s 1960s-1990s ranch homes, because the original aluminum single-hungs that came with those houses are now 40-60 years old. Most have lost their thermal breaks (if they ever had one), the sashes bind in humidity, and the insulated glass units have blown seals from decades of salt-laden storm winds and heat cycling. We replace them with impact-rated options where code requires, and we measure the rough opening twice because mid-century framing in Davie is rarely square.

Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are common in Davie’s Florida rooms and lanai conversions, many of which were added in the 1970s and 1980s under far looser permitting. The aluminum tracks wear, the rollers grind, and the frames corrode from the outside in. When we replace a sliding window in Davie, we’re usually also replacing the track and jamb system, not just the sash. That’s the difference between a five-year fix and a 25-year one.

Casement Windows
Casement windows are a good fit for Davie homes because the compression seal handles the wind-driven rain we get during summer storms far better than a sliding sash. We install more casements now than we did ten years ago, especially on west-facing walls along Flamingo Road where afternoon storm gusts hit hardest. A properly installed casement seals tighter against pressure, and that matters when the building inspector checks the wind-borne debris rating on the opening.

Awning Windows
Awning windows work well in Davie’s bathroom and utility rooms, where the originals were often jalousie windows that cannot pass today’s Broward County wind-load inspections. An awning window hinges at the top, opens outward, and creates a natural rain shield, which suits South Florida’s afternoon downpours. For homeowners replacing jalousies, an awning unit is usually the most practical way to keep ventilation in a small room while meeting code.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Davie homes the most relevant are PGT and CGI for impact-rated openings and Ply Gem for non-impact replacement work. We keep common frame and sash parts for these brands in local stock, which means we’re not waiting on a warehouse in another state when a homeowner needs a track or a balance replaced. Our technicians can walk you through the differences between a PGT 5500 and a CGI Estate series, on paper, side by side, without a sales rep hovering over your shoulder. You see the glass package, the frame rating, and the warranty terms in writing before you decide.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Davie Homes
Years of working these neighborhoods, we’ve learned what Davie homes do. Here are the four most common things we find when we open a wall or replace an opening.
- Jalousie windows failing wind-load inspection. Davie’s older ranch homes, especially those built before 1990, retain jalousie windows in bathrooms, utility rooms, and Florida room additions. These cannot be reglazed or retrofitted to pass Broward County’s wind-borne debris requirements. They require full frame-out demolition and replacement, and that scope change often doubles a homeowner’s expected cost mid-permit. We always flag jalousies up front, before the quote, so it’s never a surprise.
- Corroded aluminum frames from salt-laden storm winds. Even though Davie sits 12-15 miles inland, storm winds carry salt from both the Atlantic and Gulf sides. Uncoated aluminum frames without thermal breaks corrode, the sashes warp, and the insulated glass units lose their seals. We see this constantly on pre-1990 homes. The fix is a full replacement with either a coated aluminum frame or a different material entirely.
- Undersized framing and failed flashing. Mid-century rough openings in Davie CBS homes are frequently undersized for modern window units. When we remove an original window, we often find failed flashing tape, moisture that’s been weeping into the concrete block for years, and wood bucks that have rotted behind the stucco. Installing a new window over that without correcting it is how you get a warrantied window that still leaks. We fix the substrate first.
- Missing or lapsed permits on prior work. Some Davie homes have windows that were replaced years ago without a permit, or with non-impact glazing that did not meet the code in force at the time. When the Town of Davie flags an opening during a later inspection, the homeowner pays for tear-out and re-installation. We handle permits on every job where one is required, and we’ll confirm the current code status of an opening before we quote.
Pricing for Window Installation in Davie, FL
Window installation in Davie depends on what we find behind the wall, but here are honest ranges based on what we’ve quoted in this town recently. A single standard-size single-hung or sliding window replacement in a Davie CBS home typically runs $450-$850 per window including labor, but not including impact-rated glazing. Impact-rated windows, required on many permitted replacement openings, typically run $900-$1,600 per window depending on size and the specific product line (PGT tends to price lower than CGI, but both pass Broward County wind-borne debris code). A jalousie-to-impact-casement conversion, which includes full frame-out demolition and new framing, usually lands between $1,200 and $2,200 per opening. A patio sliding door replacement, which triggers the same wind-borne debris code as windows when the panel exceeds a certain size, typically runs $2,500-$5,500 installed. These ranges assume we don’t have to correct hidden framing damage. If we do, you’ll see a written change order with a specific price before we touch it. Call (863) 208-5172 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll give you exact numbers for your openings.

FAQs - Window Installation in Davie
Because Davie sits fully inside Broward County’s designated wind-borne debris region under the Florida Building Code. Inland distance does not matter. The code maps the entire county as wind-borne debris territory, which means every permitted replacement opening must be either impact-rated or protected by an approved shutter system. Many Davie homeowners are surprised by this, but it’s been the standard since post-Hurricane Andrew code reforms. The Town of Davie enforces it on every permit. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll confirm what your specific openings require.
No. Jalousie windows cannot be reglazed, rebuilt, or retrofitted to meet current Broward County wind-load requirements. The louvered glass design cannot resist wind-borne debris at the pressures the code demands. The only compliant path is full frame-out demolition and replacement with an impact-rated or shutter-protected window. This is true for jalousies in bathrooms, utility rooms, and Florida room additions throughout Davie. Call (863) 208-5172 for a quote, and we’ll include the tear-out cost up front.
When you pull a permit to replace a window opening in a 1970s CBS ranch in Davie, the Town of Davie applies the current Florida Building Code, not the code that was in force when the house was built. That typically means the new opening must meet wind-borne debris requirements, which means impact-rated glazing or a shutter system. It can also mean the rough opening framing must be brought to current structural standards if the existing frame is undersized or deteriorated. That’s why our quotes include a framing allowance, so you see the possible scope before we start. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home triggers.
Yes, in most cases. Sliding glass doors in Davie are treated the same as windows under the wind-borne debris provisions of the code. When you replace an original aluminum sliding door in a pre-1990 CBS home, the new door must meet impact-rated or shutter-protected standards. Many Davie homeowners find this out only after the quote comes back higher than expected. We include the impact-rated door in the quote from the beginning, so you’re not comparing numbers that don’t include what the inspector will require. Call (863) 208-5172 for an exact price on your door opening.
We plan for them before we start. Every Davie job gets a pre-construction inspection where we look at the opening, the siding or stucco condition, and the existing flashing. Then we write allowances into the contract for the common surprises: undersized framing, rotted wood bucks, failed flashing tape, and corroded jambs. If we find something outside the allowance, you get a written change order with a specific price, and you approve it before we do the extra work. Nothing moves without your signature. That process is part of The Keystone Standard, and it’s how we handle every home in Davie, from Shenandoah to the acreage off Orange Drive.

We’ll measure, quote on paper, and handle the permit if it’s required. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
