AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across North Lauderdale
Window replacement in North Lauderdale runs $450 to $1,400 per opening for most 1970s and 1980s CBS ranch homes, with full-frame impact-rated units starting around $900 installed. If you’re replacing original single-pane aluminum sliders or jalousie windows on a typical North Lauderdale lot, expect a full-home job to land between $8,000 and $18,000 depending on opening count and product line. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll give you a written, itemized quote after measuring every opening twice.
We know North Lauderdale because we work it weekly. The tight 50-foot lots off SW 10th Street, the jalousie windows that have been sweating since the Reagan administration, the open permits that never closed because a Palm Beach contractor didn’t pull a Broward County product approval. Our Window Replacement crews stage materials in the driveway, keep the swale clear, and finish most single-story jobs in one visit.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but the glass trade runs further back than that. He learned it from his father, and the rule that still governs every install is written on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we measure.
North Lauderdale homeowners call us because we answer the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a call center. Not a callback form. You get a human who knows windows and can schedule a measurement. Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s.
We’ve replaced windows from Broadview Estates to the neighborhoods along Rock Island Road, and we understand what a 1981 CBS ranch needs better than a franchise crew ever could. The permit requirements, the product approvals, the storm season deadlines. We handle it so you don’t spend three weeks chasing a building department.
Our work carries the Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, and a Done Right Promise with no paperwork fights. We stand behind it.
Our Window Replacement Services in North Lauderdale
Full Frame Replacement
On most North Lauderdale homes, the original aluminum frames from the 1970s are corroded, out of square, or simply not rated for today’s wind loads. Full frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening and installs a new HVHZ-rated unit with fresh flashing and insulation. For homes along SW 81st Avenue or in the residential streets near Hampton Pines Park, this is usually the only path to a clean permit close.
Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frames are square and structurally sound, an insert replacement fits a new sash and glass package into the old frame. It’s faster and less expensive than full frame, typically saving $200 to $350 per opening. We’ll tell you honestly whether your frame qualifies – on many North Lauderdale originals, it doesn’t, and we won’t sell you an insert that fails inspection.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Original single-pane aluminum windows in North Lauderdale transfer heat like a screen door. A low-E, argon-filled insulated glass unit in a properly sealed frame cuts afternoon heat gain on west-facing walls measurably. For homeowners near Kimberly Boulevard or along the C-14 canal, we see electric bills drop meaningfully in summer months after replacing south and west openings first.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows are a stopgap, not a substitute for impact-rated primary windows. But for a North Lauderdale homeowner on a budget, adding a quality exterior storm unit over aging single-pane glass buys time and cuts drafts. We’ll be straight with you: if the city is already involved with an open permit, storm windows won’t close it. Only full HVHZ-rated replacement will.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for North Lauderdale homes we quote, PGT, and CGI side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. PGT and CGI carry the Miami-Dade NOA approvals Broward County requires. Simonton offers a strong mid-range impact line that keeps a full-home job within reach. We don’t push one brand. We show you the numbers and the product approvals, and you decide.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Permits rejected for missing Miami-Dade NOA numbers. A contractor based in Palm Beach County quotes the job with products that aren’t approved for Broward’s county-wide High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The North Lauderdale permit desk rejects the submittal, and the homeowner is stuck with a deposit and no permit.
- Jalousie window repairs that trigger full replacement. You replace a few cracked glass slats in a 1978 jalousie window, and the city treats the permit as unclosed until the entire opening carries an HVHZ-rated unit. There is no repair-and-reglaze path once the building department is involved.
- Swale staging violations on tight lots. North Lauderdale’s 50-foot-wide lots leave little room. A crew that drops a dumpster or material stack on the city right-of-way without checking the rules earns a stop-work order and a fine. We stage on the driveway or the home’s own property, every time.
- Original sliding doors that bind and leak. By July, the aluminum frames on those 1980s patio sliders have expanded, the rollers are shot, and the door won’t lock square. That’s not a maintenance annoyance. It’s a windstorm inspection failure waiting to happen.
Pricing for Window Replacement in North Lauderdale, FL
Here’s what we charge in this market, honest numbers:
| Service | North Lauderdale Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Insert window replacement (per opening) | $450 - $900 |
| Full frame replacement, non-impact (per opening) | $700 - $1,200 |
| Full frame replacement, impact-rated HVHZ (per opening) | $900 - $1,400+ |
| Sliding glass door replacement, impact-rated | $2,800 - $4,500 |
| Full home (8-12 openings), typical CBS ranch | $8,000 - $18,000 |
Lot access moves the number. A wide, clear driveway on a corner lot off Kimberly Boulevard lets us stage straight from the truck. A zero-lot-line home with a shared wall and a narrow side yard means hand-carrying every unit through the front door, and that’s labor. We price it honestly on the quote, not as a surprise line item later. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate. We measure every opening twice and give you the number in writing.

FAQs - Window Replacement in North Lauderdale
Because Broward County applies the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation county-wide, with no inland exemption. Every replacement window or door in North Lauderdale must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance product approval, regardless of distance from the Atlantic. A Palm Beach contractor used to non-HVHZ rules will submit a permit that gets rejected, and the job stops. If you’re getting quotes, ask each contractor to show you the NOA number for the exact product they’re bidding before you sign anything. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll show you ours on paper.
You can replace individual glass slats, and that’s a legitimate repair on its own. But if the city is involved, or if you later pull a permit for anything else on the home, the open permit won’t close until the entire jalousie opening carries an HVHZ-rated unit. On a 1970s North Lauderdale CBS home, that means full replacement. We’ll give you a straight answer on your specific situation before you spend money on glass slats that won’t solve the permit problem.
North Lauderdale’s standard 50-foot lots and zero-lot-line ranch layouts mean staging happens in the driveway or on the home’s own property, not the swale. If side-yard access is too narrow for a hand truck, our crew carries units through the house. That adds labor, and we price it honestly on the quote. A wider corner lot with clear side access typically costs less per opening than a tight interior lot off SW 76th Avenue. Call (850) 303-7739 for a site-specific number.
No. The original 1980s aluminum frame on a North Lauderdale patio slider was never tested or approved to today’s Miami-Dade HVHZ standards, so replacing only the glass leaves the frame non-compliant. A windstorm inspection will fail it, and your insurance company will note it. Full replacement with an HVHZ-rated sliding door is the only path that satisfies Broward County and your carrier. We install PGT and CGI sliders with the NOA listed on the permit submittal.
For window replacement, generally no. Party-wall agreements are not required for opening-for-opening replacement in attached or duplex construction in North Lauderdale. What matters is that the work stays on your side of the property line and doesn’t damage a shared wall. We work quietly, keep debris contained, and mind the neighbor’s side of the fence. If it’s a shared structural wall, we’ll confirm the scope with you before any demo starts.
