If you own a home in Lauderdale Lakes, there’s a good chance your windows are original to the house. Most of the city went up in a single burst between 1965 and 1980, and the jalousie and aluminum single-pane units installed then are still in far too many walls today. TruePane Windows & Doors replaces and services them for Lauderdale Lakes homeowners, with crews that know the CBS construction, the stucco patching job involved, and the Broward County Notice of Acceptance paperwork required. Call (850) 303-7739 and you’ll reach a live person who can schedule a free estimate.
Our home page covers the company’s full background and the Keystone Standard. For Lauderdale Lakes specifically, this page lays out what to expect on cost, code, and craft when your windows or doors need work.

Why Lauderdale Lakes Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Lauderdale Lakes is a small city. Word travels. When a crew finishes a job in the Hawaiian Gardens neighborhood or over by the Lauderdale Lakes Middle School area, neighbors ask who did the work. That’s how most of our Lauderdale Lakes customers find us, and we’d rather have it that way than buy another billboard. The work holds up, the warranty is in writing, and the phone gets answered.
We serve the East Gate neighborhood, the condominium buildings clustered north of Oakland Park Boulevard, and the ranch homes around Northwest 31st Avenue. Each of these areas has its own rhythm: condo associations need door replacements that satisfy board specifications and insurance carriers; single-family homeowners on the CBS ranch lots are usually replacing jalousies after an insurer non-renewal letter. We’ve handled both enough times to know the questions before they get asked.
Every technician who walks into a Lauderdale Lakes home is background-checked and uniformed. Every opening gets measured twice before a single frame is ordered. Dale Kessler founded TruePane on a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the standard. We don’t leave until it’s met.
Our Window Installation in Lauderdale Lakes page covers the full process for new and retrofit work.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lauderdale Lakes
Window Installation
New window installation in Lauderdale Lakes usually means retrofitting into existing CBS openings, which requires pressure-treated bucking and proper stucco repair around the new frame. We quote the full scope up front so the stucco work doesn’t surprise you later. Learn more about our Window Installation in Lauderdale Lakes.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, and exterior utility doors are all common replacements in Lauderdale Lakes, especially where original hollow-core doors have warped from decades of humidity. We install insulated steel and fiberglass doors that seal correctly against South Florida heat and rain. Learn more about our Door Installation in Lauderdale Lakes.
Window Replacement
Replacement work in Lauderdale Lakes often starts with a jalousie or single-pane aluminum unit that has failed entirely: fogged seals, pitted frames, or glass that rattles in the track. We pull the old unit, prep the opening, and set a code-compliant replacement that will outlast the original. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Lauderdale Lakes.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors are the only way to satisfy a Lauderdale Lakes insurer’s non-renewal notice. We install Miami-Dade and Broward NOA-approved products from manufacturers like CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, with full documentation for your insurance file.
Energy-Efficient Windows
The concrete block walls in Lauderdale Lakes hold heat well into the evening, which means the windows matter more than they would in a frame-built house. Low-E glass and insulated frames reduce the thermal load noticeably, and the savings show up on FPL bills from June through October.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Original aluminum sliders from the 1970s get heavy with corrosion and start binding in their tracks, especially after a season of salt-air and humidity. We replace them with smooth-operating, impact-rated sliders that meet current code. CWS and ECO Window Systems both make solid lines we install regularly.
Glass Railing Systems
For condo balconies and elevated patios in Lauderdale Lakes, glass railing systems provide an unobstructed view while meeting structural and wind-load requirements. We measure, fabricate, and install rails that hold up to Broward County’s wind code.
Custom Windows & Doors
Some Lauderdale Lakes homes have unusual openings, radius tops, or unusual sizes that need a custom-built unit. We handle those orders through our manufacturer partners and make sure the finished product fits the opening exactly, not approximately.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lauderdale Lakes
We work throughout Lauderdale Lakes, typically scheduling estimates within two to three business days of the call. The areas we visit most include:
- East Gate - single-family ranch homes off Northwest 31st Avenue, many with original jalousie windows.
- Hawaiian Gardens - CBS construction with aluminum frames from the late 1960s.
- Lauderdale Lakes Estates - a mix of ranch homes and low-rise condos north of Oakland Park Boulevard.
- The condominium corridor along Northwest 36th Street - board-governed buildings that need documented impact compliance for insurance renewals.
- North Lauderdale Lakes / the State Road 7 corridor - commercial and residential mix, including some older four-story condo buildings.
Why Lauderdale Lakes’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lauderdale Lakes falls fully inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s a code designation with teeth: every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade or Broward County Notice of Acceptance, not just meet generic Florida Building Code. If a contractor tells you an unrated unit is fine for Lauderdale Lakes, walk away. It won’t pass inspection, and your insurer will reject it.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Lauderdale Lakes was built almost entirely in the 1960s and 1970s, and the dominant wall type is CBS: concrete block covered in stucco. Retrofitting windows into CBS openings is not the same job as working in a wood-framed subdivision in Sunrise or Tamarac. The opening needs a properly pressure-treated buck, the new frame has to be anchored and flashed for a block wall, and the stucco around it has to be patched correctly or water will track in behind the finish. We’ve seen too many Lauderdale Lakes homes where a previous “cheap retrofit” left gaps hidden under caulk, and five years later the interior drywall is stained and the window is out of square. The block wall doesn’t forgive sloppy work. Neither do we.
Then there’s the climate itself. South Florida’s UV index sits extreme most of the year, and the humid air accelerates oxidation of aluminum frames. In a 1972 Lauderdale Lakes condo, that means frames that have turned chalky white, seals that have failed, and weep holes that are clogged with corrosion. The original jalousie windows, which are especially common in this city, offer near-zero hurricane resistance and are among the first items an insurer flags in a non-renewal inspection. A significant portion of our Lauderdale Lakes window jobs begin with a homeowner holding exactly that letter. It’s not a renovation. It’s a compliance deadline. We treat it that way, and we’ve become efficient at it.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes
What you’ll pay depends heavily on what you’re replacing and what code requires. Here’s a straight answer based on work we price regularly in Lauderdale Lakes:
- Replacing a single jalousie window with an impact-rated single-hung: $1,100 to $2,400 installed, including bucking and stucco repair.
- Replacing a set of three jalousie units in a living room with impact picture windows: $3,800 to $6,500 installed.
- Impact-rated sliding glass door replacement: $2,800 to $5,200 installed, depending on size and manufacturer line.
- Standard non-impact window replacement (energy-efficient, code-compliant but not HVHZ-rated): $700 to $1,800 per unit.
- Installation labor only, if the homeowner supplies the window: we generally don’t perform this. The warranty and the fit become someone else’s problem, and we won’t stand behind a product we didn’t source and inspect.
Every quote is line-item and written. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless the opening reveals hidden damage we couldn’t see before demolition. If that happens, we stop and walk you through it before another dollar gets spent. That’s the deal. Call (850) 303-7739 to set up a free estimate.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes
Yes. Lauderdale Lakes is in Broward County’s HVHZ, and any window or door replacement requires a permit and an inspection. Impact-rated products must carry a Notice of Acceptance that matches the specific model installed. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and close it out before we consider the job finished. Call (850) 303-7739 to discuss your specific situation.
In Lauderdale Lakes, yes, this is happening frequently. Insurers have tightened underwriting standards across inland Broward County, and jalousie windows are an automatic flag on a four-point inspection. Many homeowners only call us after the non-renewal letter arrives, which compresses the timeline unnecessarily. If you still have jalousies, you’ll likely replace them eventually, and doing it on your schedule costs less than doing it on an insurer’s deadline.
Expect $1,100 to $2,400 per opening for a standard impact-rated single-hung replacement, with larger picture windows and sliders running higher. CBS retrofit work includes bucking and stucco patch, which some contractors price separately. We include it in the line item so there are no surprises. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free written estimate on your exact floor plan.
Not unless we find hidden damage inside the wall cavity that could not be seen before the old window came out. If that happens, we stop work, document it, and explain the options in plain language before another dollar is authorized. Our quotes are fixed and written. If we miss something in the estimate that’s our problem, not yours.
A single opening usually takes half a day including stucco repair. A full house of ten to fifteen windows typically runs four to six working days, with the stucco patch work scheduled to allow proper curing between coats. Condo projects vary by building rules and board review timelines. We’ll give you a written schedule before the job starts and stick to it.
Yes. We offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, a free written repair estimate, and a maintenance check that covers inspection, lubrication, and adjustment of existing windows and doors. TruePane also stands behind every job with the Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we fix it, no argument about whether the work qualified. Call (850) 303-7739 to ask if your project qualifies.
