AfterMr-Glass Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Lauderdale Lakes, and the one thing that sets our work here apart is simple: we know what a non-renewal notice means in this city. The homes are CBS block, mostly built in the 1960s and 70s, and the original Mr-Glass aluminum and jalousie units still in those openings do not meet Florida’s HVHZ code. TruePane Windows & Doors has been replacing them with NOA-approved impact units for years. If you’re holding an insurer’s letter or just tired of windows that bind and leak, call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate. Dale Kessler, our owner, grew up just down Oakland Park Boulevard in Lauderhill. He knows these houses.
Why Lauderdale Lakes Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’re not a manufacturer call center, and we’re not authorized by Mr-Glass. We’re an independent glazing company, and that independence means we tell you straight when a repair makes sense and when you’d be throwing money at a frame that’s already gone. Our techs have spent years replacing Mr-Glass units in Lauderdale Lakes CBS construction. We know how the 200 Series single hungs oxidize in this humidity and how the 500 Series horizontal rollers wear against South Florida’s salt-laden air. Dale Kessler learned the trade off Oakland Park Boulevard before he could drive, sharpened it at Broward College’s construction trades program in the early 90s, and he’s been setting windows and doors across Broward County for the better part of three decades. His rule stays on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. If the spec sheet doesn’t back it up, we don’t say it.
We’re local. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and we answer the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You’ll get background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it applies to every Mr-Glass job in Lauderdale Lakes. You can also read more about our broader Mr-Glass sales & service work.
Common Mr-Glass Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lauderdale Lakes
- Oxidized aluminum frames on Mr-Glass single hungs and horizontal rollers. The original Mr-Glass aluminum frames on 1960s and 70s Lauderdale Lakes homes oxidize fast in this climate. The result is glass seal failure and air leaks that spike your cooling bill. We replace them with current impact-rated units sized to the existing opening.
- Jalousie-style Mr-Glass louvered windows with stripped cranks and warped clips. These are everywhere in older Lauderdale Lakes homes and condos, and they cannot meet wind-load requirements. Insurers specifically flag them. We remove the louvers and install full-frame impact replacements into properly bucked CBS openings.
- Failed interlocking meeting rails on Mr-Glass 3-panel sliders. During Broward’s summer thunderstorms, water pushes in at the sill where the interlocking rails have worn. We see this constantly in Lauderdale Lakes low-rise condos. The fix is rarely a patch; it’s a new impact slider built for HVHZ wind loads.
- Stress cracks from corner welds on Mr-Glass picture windows. Older CBS buck openings are unforgiving. When the original installer skipped proper shimming, the frame flexes and cracks radiate from the corners. We re-frame and shim correctly before setting the new unit.
- Fogged glass and failed seals on Mr-Glass single hung units. South Florida’s UV and humidity destroy older seals. If the frame is still square and the mechanics are sound, OEM glass replacement may work. If the frame is oxidized, we’ll tell you replacement is cheaper in the long run.
Mr-Glass Service in Lauderdale Lakes: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what makes Lauderdale Lakes different from Sunrise or Tamarac. The city was built almost entirely in a single development burst during the 1960s and 1970s, so the housing stock is remarkably uniform: CBS ranch homes and low-rise condos, most still wearing their original aluminum single-pane or jalousie windows. The Florida home insurance crisis is squeezing inland Broward hard, and Lauderdale Lakes homeowners are getting ultimatums to retrofit to NOA-approved impact windows and doors or lose coverage. That means most Mr-Glass work here begins not with a renovation inquiry but with a non-renewal notice citing jalousie or non-impact units. And because those original aluminum frames are often too corroded to hold a new impact unit, the job is almost always a full frame replacement into CBS, not an insert. Homeowners who budget for an insert get caught off guard when the stucco has to come off and pressure-treated bucks go in. We walk you through that scope before you spend a dollar. Our tech pulled up to a Lauderdale Lakes ranch off NW 43rd Ave where the homeowner had just received a non-renewal notice specifically citing the original Mr-Glass jalousie windows. We removed the louvered aluminum frames, installed pressure-treated bucks into the CBS openings, and set new Mr-Glass 800 Series impact casements with stucco patching to match the 1970s exterior. The homeowner got a reinspection report that satisfied the insurer, and a noticeable drop in indoor humidity.
Can You Fix My Mr-Glass Windows, or Do They Need Full Replacement?
It depends on the frame. For newer Mr-Glass impact units, we start with OEM parts when a sash or frame is salvageable. For older aluminum or jalousie models from the 1960s and 70s, repair often costs more than a full replacement. Our default is to replace with a current Mr-Glass impact-rated unit that matches the existing rough opening, rather than patch a 50-year-old frame that’s already failing. You’ll get a straight answer on paper, side by side, before you decide.

The 200 Series Single Hung, the 500 Series Horizontal Roller, the 800 Series Impact Casement, and the 900 Series Impact Sliding Glass Door. Our approach is simple: OEM Mr-Glass parts when the frame or sash is salvageable, especially on newer impact units, and full replacement with current impact-rated Mr-Glass units when it’s not.

Our primary focus on Mr-Glass work here is Hurricane Impact Windows, Insert Window Replacement, and Full Frame Replacement.
Mr-Glass Service Pricing in Lauderdale Lakes
Pricing on Mr-Glass service in Lauderdale Lakes depends on three things: whether you’re repairing or replacing, whether the opening is CBS and needs a new buck, and which Mr-Glass line you’re moving to. A full frame replacement into existing CBS runs higher than an insert because of the pressure-treated buck and stucco patching. A 500 Series horizontal roller replacement costs less than an 800 Series impact casement. What you’ll get from us is a written line-item quote with the scope spelled out before work starts.

FAQs - Mr-Glass Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes
No, not on most of these homes. The original aluminum frames are typically too corroded to hold a new impact unit, so the jalousie frames need to come out and pressure-treated bucks go into the CBS opening. That means stucco patching around the new frame. We match the patch to your existing exterior so it doesn’t look like a repair. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll tell you exactly what your openings will need.
Yes. Current Mr-Glass impact units carry Miami-Dade or Broward County Notice of Acceptance, which is what Lauderdale Lakes insurers require for HVHZ compliance. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and provide the NOA documentation your insurer asks for. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through the paperwork your insurer expects.
Sometimes. If the frame is square and the oxidation hasn’t compromised the track, we can replace the balances with OEM parts and you’re done. If the frame is warped or the seals are gone, you’ll be chasing problems with money. We’ll inspect it, show you the options on paper, and let you decide. Call (850) 303-7739 to set up a service call.
The interlocking meeting rails on older Mr-Glass 3-panel sliders wear down over time. When a Broward summer thunderstorm drives rain sideways, water pushes through the worn interlock and collects at the sill. That’s not something caulk fixes. It needs the rails rebuilt or the slider replaced with an impact-rated unit. We’ll tell you which option fits your condo’s opening and your HOA’s rules. Call (850) 303-7739.
Yes. We’ve worked with Lauderdale Lakes condo associations on impact window retrofits, and we know the drill: matching exterior finishes, meeting HOA specifications, coordinating with property management on scheduling. We handle the paperwork and the permits. If your association has specific requirements, we’ll review them before we quote. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate.
