Call (863) 208-5172 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Tamarac’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Tamarac’s housing is not like the rest of Broward. It’s a city built almost entirely between 1963 and the early 1980s, block after block of CBS single-family homes and low-rise condos originally fitted with aluminum jalousie windows, louvered entry doors, and thin single-pane sliders. That means the window work here follows a pattern, and we know the pattern cold. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’ve spent the years since pulling the same Broward permit types Tamarac homeowners need, replacing original louvered openings with NOA-approved impact units, and standing behind the work in writing.
Our Window Installation team works in Tamarac every week. We do not send a different crew to the same street twice and hope for the best. The technicians who measure your openings are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before a quote is written. Tamarac homeowners tend to have lived here twenty, thirty years or more. They remember the contractor who left a fogged seal and a slider that binds in July. We intend to be the company they call the second time, not the one they warn the neighbors about.
Our Window Installation Services in Tamarac
Tamarac’s original housing stock presents a specific set of window problems, and the solutions below are the ones we install most on these streets. Every one of these carries a written quote, side-by-side manufacturer comparison on paper, and both warranty layers registered before our truck leaves the driveway.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single-hung and double-hung units are the most common replacement path for Tamarac’s original jalousie openings. The building department here processes this exact permit so regularly it barely raises an eyebrow, but the install itself requires care: the block openings are often slightly out of square after sixty years, and sill flashing must be tucked behind the stucco correctly or canal humidity gets in at the jambs. We set fusion-welded, impact-rated sashes with low-E glass tuned to the exposure, so an east-facing sun room on NW 67th Street stops climbing to 84 degrees by noon.
Casement Windows
Casement windows give Tamarac homeowners a crank-operated sash that seals tighter against wind-driven rain than a slider ever will. For canal-side homes along NW 64th Avenue or the neighborhoods around Tamarac Lakes, that matters. The persistent moisture near the water accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames, and a properly flashed casement unit with a compression seal is one of the strongest defenses against both water and pressure. We install casements in standard CBS openings and as replacements for louvered side windows, always with NOA documentation on file.
Fixed & Picture Windows
A fixed picture window is often the upgrade a Tamarac homeowner wants after pulling out a louvered patio wall or a tired bank of jalousies. But this is one place where shortcuts happen. A seller will swap a louvered wall for a fixed pane without adding a structural header, and the first hurricane-force pressure cycle pops the frame out of the block. We do not skip the header, and we pull the permit that proves it. For fixed glass on east or west exposures, we spec glass with an SHGC low enough to keep the room livable through a Tamarac summer.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them a practical choice for Tamarac homeowners who want ventilation during afternoon rain without letting water in. They work well over kitchen counters and in bathrooms, and they are a common secondary window on the original mid-century floor plans scattered through the 33319 and 33321 zip codes. Impact-rated awning units carry the same NOA requirements as any other window in Broward’s wind-borne debris region, and we handle the paperwork as part of the job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We are an authorized installer for manufacturer lines Tamarac homeowners ask for by name, including PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem. We quote these side by side on paper so you can see the glass package, frame material, SHGC, and design pressure rating for each line before you commit a dollar. Parts for these brands are stocked locally, which keeps turnaround tight when a latch or balance fails on an existing unit. We also service what we did not sell. A fogged IGU, a crank that will not seat, a slider that drags across its track: we fix it and register the repair under the same Done Right Promise, no paperwork fight after the fact.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Non-impact glass swapped without a permit. A handyman replaces single-pane louvered sashes with standard insulating glass, skips the Broward permit, and the homeowner fails final inspection when they go to sell. We see this on original 1960s homes throughout Tamarac’s 55+ neighborhoods, and it costs more to fix than the original window would have cost to do right.
- Canal-side corrosion on reused aluminum clips. New impact units get installed but the old jamb clips stay, already rotted from decades of canal humidity on homes along the city’s interior waterways. Two years later the sash sags and the seal fails. We replace clips and fasteners as part of every install, not as a line item added later.
- Missing structural headers on picture window conversions. A louvered patio wall becomes a big fixed pane without the header the opening demands. We have repaired frames popped out of CBS block after pressure tests on these. The header goes in before the glass, every time.
- Jalousie glass still in place original from the 1970s. Tamarac is one of the few Broward cities where louvered windows are still common enough that pulling the jalousie replacement permit is nearly routine at the building department. The glass leaks, the torque bars corrode, and the frames cannot meet any current impact standard. Replacement is the fix, not repair.

FAQs - Window Installation in Tamarac
Yes. Tamarac falls within Broward County’s wind-borne debris region, so any window or door replacement requires either a fully impact-rated unit with a current Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or a compliant shutter system. The jalousie-to-single-hung replacement permit is so common in Tamarac that the building department processes it almost formulaically, but it still must be pulled. We handle the permit, the inspection, and the paperwork as part of every install. Call (863) 208-5172 and we can tell you exactly what your specific opening requires.
No. The original aluminum jalousie and single-pane slider frames on Tamarac’s 1960s-70s homes were not designed to hold impact-rated laminated glass, and most are corroded beyond salvage anyway after fifty-plus years of South Florida humidity. Broward County will not issue a permit for impact glass in a frame that has no structural rating or NOA documentation. The frame gets replaced with the glass. We can walk you through what that means for your specific openings over the phone.
Every impact-rated window installed in Tamarac must carry a current Florida Building Code Notice of Acceptance (NOA) number specific to the manufacturer and the window model. The numbers change as manufacturers update their product lines, so we pull the current NOA documentation for the exact units we quote you and keep it on file for the permit package and your records. Both warranty layers also get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. Call (863) 208-5172 for a quote with the specific NOA numbers for your job.
Because the original aluminum slider windows installed between 1963 and the early 1980s were single-pane, non-thermal units with butyl seals that fail after decades of sun exposure and canal humidity. Once the seal fails, the IGU fogs and the frame corrodes. Repair is generally not worth the labor on these units; replacement with an impact-rated thermal unit fixes the fog, the leak, and the code compliance problem in one pass. We quote the replacement honestly against what a repair would buy you, which on fifty-year-old frames is not much.
No. Tamarac’s low-rise 55+ condo buildings have association rules that govern any exterior envelope change, including window replacement, and most require board or architectural committee approval before you pull a permit. You also still need the Broward permit and NOA-rated impact glass if the opening faces the exterior. We have worked with boards across Tamarac’s condo communities and can help you submit the spec sheet and drawings they typically request. Call (863) 208-5172 and we will tell you what your association is likely to ask for before you spend a dollar.
