AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Lauderdale Lakes
Lauderdale Lakes Window Replacement usually runs $650-$1,900 per opening for impact-rated units, and most full-home retrofits land between $9,000 and $26,000 depending on frame material, glass package, and what we find inside the walls. The reason that range is wider than you’ll see quoted on generic websites is simple: Lauderdale Lakes was built almost entirely in a single development burst during the 1960s and 1970s, and the CBS block homes and low-rise condos from that era hide things behind old aluminum frames that a cookie-cutter installer never looks for. We do look. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll schedule a free estimate with a technician who measures every opening twice and explains exactly what your walls are telling us.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’re a second-generation glazier’s company, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008 on a rule that still names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Lauderdale Lakes homeowners tend to be people who have owned the same house for twenty or thirty years. They’ve already been through one round of cheap replacement windows that fogged, bound in July, or leaked around the stucco. They’re not asking for the lowest bid. They’re asking who will still answer the phone in ten years if something goes wrong. That’s us. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail tree and not a regional call center.
We carry a Done Right Promise backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. Every technician who enters your home in Lauderdale Lakes is background-checked and uniformed, and works the way he’d work in his own mother’s house. No surprise line items appear on the bill. The quote we hand you in writing is the price you pay.
Our crews coordinate locally from our South FL office and serve Lauderdale Lakes directly, so we know State Road 817 traffic, we know the condo associations along NW 36th Street, and we know what a 1972 CBS ranch with original jalousies needs before we even pull the first frame.
Our Window Installation Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the most requested Impact Windows & Doors - Lauderdale Lakes style for a reason. The crank-out sash seals tightly against the frame on all four sides, which is exactly what a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone demands. In Lauderdale Lakes, casement windows run $750-$1,850 per opening for impact-rated units with NOA documentation, including new pressure-treated buck installation if the original wood has rotted behind the block. We quote PGT and CGI casement lines side by side on paper so you see the exact cost difference before you sign.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them useful in Lauderdale Lakes ranch homes where small bathroom and kitchen openings don’t leave room for a full casement swing. They also shed rain better than a double-hung when a South Florida afternoon storm hits. Expect $600-$1,400 per opening for impact-rated awning windows in the Lauderdale Lakes market, with labor and stucco patching included. We measure the opening, then measure it again, because a 1968 block wall is rarely square after fifty years of settling.
Fixed and Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows are the most affordable way to bring in light and pass an insurance inspection at the same time. In Lauderdale Lakes condos along NW 31st Avenue and the Oakland Park corridor, picture windows replaced into original aluminum openings typically run $550-$1,200 per unit for impact glass with NOA documentation. These don’t open, so wind-load performance is excellent when the frame is set into a properly sealed buck with fresh flashing tape. We handle the stucco patching around the new frame on the same visit.
Single and Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows in Lauderdale Lakes usually appear in second-floor condo units and some 1980s infill homes. Double-hung replacement units with impact glass run $700-$1,600 per opening depending on size and whether the existing frame can be reused or needs a full tear-out retrofit. The sashes on older aluminum double-hungs in this area are often so oxidized that the balances fail and the window won’t stay open, which is when homeowners call us wanting it fixed. Fixing it usually means replacing it.

Common Window Installation Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Jalousie windows flagged by insurers as non-impact. A significant share of our Lauderdale Lakes jobs starts with a homeowner holding a non-renewal notice that specifically cites louvered jalousie units. Replacing the glass isn’t enough. The entire frame assembly has to come out and be replaced with an impact-rated, NOA-approved unit.
- Undersized or rotted pressure-treated bucks inside CBS walls. When we pull original aluminum frames from a 1967 block home, we routinely find the wood buck behind the frame is undersized for the new impact unit or has begun to rot from decades of humidity. We write the necessary pressure-treated buck retrofit and stucco patch into the contract allowance before we order windows, so the price doesn’t jump mid-job.
- Failed flashing tape and water intrusion. Water that seeps past old dried-out flashing tape rots the new jamb and sash within a few years. In Lauderdale Lakes, where afternoon thunderstorms dump an inch of rain in twenty minutes, waterproofing is not optional. We install fresh flashing tape on every retrofit, no exceptions.
- Original aluminum frames with seal failure and oxidation. South Florida UV radiation and humidity-laden air accelerate oxidation of the aluminum frames common in this city’s older homes. That’s why so many Lauderdale Lakes homeowners notice fog between the panes, frame warping, or windows that bind in July. Once the seal fails, the thermal performance is gone and the unit needs replacement, not repair.

FAQs - Window Installation in Lauderdale Lakes
Because Lauderdale Lakes has an unusually high concentration of jalousie windows from the 1960s and 1970s, and insurers treat louvered glass as effectively zero hurricane protection. Jalousie panels sit loose in their tracks, let wind-driven rain pass straight through, and fail any post-Andrew wind-load standard. Your friend’s Coral Springs home is newer, built under stricter codes, and likely has standard single-hung or double-hung units that insurers view differently. The fix is a full frame replacement with NOA-approved impact units, not a glass swap. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll tell you during the estimate whether your specific jalousies triggered the notice.
Budget $200-$600 per opening for hidden work you won’t see on a generic quote: pressure-treated buck replacement, new flashing tape, stucco patching, and occasionally wiring relocation if an outlet or switch sits too close to the new frame. When we pull original frames from a 1968 CBS block home in Lauderdale Lakes, the wood buck is often undersized or partially rotted. We write these allowances into the contract before we start, in writing, so the price doesn’t jump mid-job. Get an exact number with a free estimate at (850) 303-7739.
If the seal has failed between panes, the insulated glass unit is dead, but whether you can replace just the glass depends on the frame condition and the condo association’s requirements. In many Lauderdale Lakes low-rise condo buildings from the 1970s, the aluminum frame itself is so oxidized that a glass-only replacement doesn’t address the frame’s structural weakness. And if your association or insurer requires impact-rated glazing, a glass-only swap into a non-impact frame fails the NOA requirement. We’ll assess the frame during the free estimate and tell you honestly which route is worth your money. Call (850) 303-7739 to schedule.
Replacing jalousies with NOA-approved impact windows will usually lower your windstorm premium, and in many Lauderdale Lakes cases it’s the only thing that stops a non-renewal from moving forward. The exact discount depends on your carrier, your policy, and whether you replace all openings or only some. What we’ll do is provide you with the NOA documentation, permits, and passed inspection record that your insurer needs in writing. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll walk you through what to submit and when.
Ask them how they handle the pressure-treated buck inside a 1960s block wall. If they blink or say they’ll just caulk it and move on, keep looking. A real Lauderdale Lakes window installer knows what original CBS ranch homes on streets like Laurel Hollow and around NW 36th Street need: buck inspection, replacement when undersized, fresh flashing tape, proper stucco patch, and NOA paperwork that passes Broward County inspection the first time. We’ve been doing exactly that since 2008, under Dale Kessler’s rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate from someone who actually measures twice.
