Trusted Custom Windows & Doors for Lauderhill Homeowners
Custom windows and doors in Lauderhill typically cost between $1,800 and $8,500 per opening, depending on size, glass package, frame material, and whether the opening is load-bearing. Most jobs take three to six weeks from template to final install, which includes manufacturing lead time. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already discovered that standard stock sizes don’t fit your opening, or you want something specific enough that a big-box order form can’t capture it. That’s the work we do every week.
TruePane Windows & Doors has served Lauderhill homeowners since 2008 through a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. When you call (850) 303-7739, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person who knows windows and doors and can talk through your project from the first minute.
What Our Custom Windows & Doors Service Includes
Custom work is not a line item on a generic quote sheet. It’s a process built around your opening, your house, and your taste. Here’s what we handle for Lauderhill homeowners.
Custom Shape Windows
Custom Shape Windows are any window that doesn’t come off a stock rack: arches, eyebrows, circles, hexagons, trapezoids, gable-end triangles. Lauderhill has a lot of late-1970s and 1980s construction with interesting geometry, especially in the Inverrary and St. George neighborhoods, and those openings need windows cut and set to the true opening, not shimmed into a rough approximation. We measure every opening twice with a laser and a tape, no exceptions. Then we order the unit to the eighth of an inch and set it square, because an out-of-true arch window binds on the sash and fails at the seal within a few seasons.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Storefront glazing is the glass system in commercial facades: aluminum framing, tempered glass, and entrance doors that hold up to daily traffic. Lauderhill businesses on University Drive and State Road 7 need storefronts that meet South Florida wind code and keep the air conditioning in during July. TruePane supplies and installs Commercial Storefront Glazing with the same Done Right Promise we put on residential work. If a pane cracks or a door sags after we leave, we come back and fix it without a paperwork argument.

Curtain Wall Systems
A curtain wall is a non-structural glass facade that hangs off the building frame, typical of mid-rise commercial properties and a few modern residential projects in Lauderhill. These systems carry wind load, water load, and thermal expansion, which means the engineering has to be right before the first mullion goes up. We work with manufacturer engineering departments on every Curtain Wall Systems job so the system is specified for Florida’s wind zone, not pulled off a national template. The installation is done by our own background-checked technicians, not subcontracted out to a crew we met last month.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Architectural Grilles & SDLs are the muntin bars that give windows their character. Some are applied to the glass surface. Others sit between the panes inside the insulated glass unit. The difference matters for cleaning, thermal performance, and warranty coverage. We quote both options side by side on paper for every custom window that calls for grilles, so you see exactly what each one costs and why. Then we register the warranty with the grille pattern specified, because a misrepresented SDL is one of the most common reasons manufacturers void claims.

Oversized Glass Panels
Oversized glass panels are panes large enough to require two-person mechanical handling and careful structural planning: think floor-to-ceiling fixed windows, large sliding door panels, and the kind of wide-open lake view you see on the canals in Lauderhill’s northwest neighborhoods. The glass has to be thick enough to meet wind code, the frame has to carry the weight, and someone has to install it without scratching or stressing the edges. We handle panels up to the largest sizes our manufacturer partners will certify, with a rigging plan on paper before anyone touches the opening.

Brands We Service for Custom Windows & Doors
We’re an authorized installer for CGI, an industry leader in impact-rated windows and doors built for South Florida’s wind zone. That means we have direct access to their engineering support, their warranty registration process, and their complete product line. When a Lauderhill home calls for CGI impact windows, we quote the exact glass package and frame color on paper, side by side with any other line you’re considering, so you can see what you’re actually paying for.
We also work regularly with CWS and ES Windows, both respected names in custom residential and mixed-use glazing. CWS builds high-end custom windows with strong aluminum frames, and ES Windows has a deep catalog of European-style tilt-and-turn and lift-and-slide hardware that a lot of Lauderhill homeowners ask about when they’re renovating older homes. Whether you have a specific brand in mind or no idea where to start, we can walk through the options honestly. Bring us any manufacturer’s quote and we’ll go through it line by line with you.
Signs You Need Custom Windows & Doors Right Now
- Your windows fog between the panes. A failed seal means the insulated glass unit has lost its gas fill and insulating value. In Lauderhill’s humidity, fogged glass is also a sign that the window is actively condensing moisture inside your wall assembly, which leads to mold and rot. Once the seal goes, the unit needs replacement, not repair.
- Your doors bind or won’t latch in the summer. South Florida heat and humidity swell wood and twist frames. A door that bound in July and worked in January was never set true, or the framing has shifted. Forcing it stresses the hinges, the jamb, and eventually the glass itself.
- You’re still running single-pane windows or old aluminum frames. Single-pane glass in a Lauderhill summer transfers heat straight through, and old aluminum frames without thermal breaks do the same. Your air conditioner is working harder than it should. The upgrade to code-rated impact or high-efficiency custom windows pays for itself in utility savings over a decade.
- There’s visible daylight or water at the edges of the frame. Daylight at the edge means the window was not properly sealed or shimmed. If water is getting in, you’ve got active rot starting in the rough opening. Waiting costs more every rainy season.
- You want a window where there is no window. This is the best kind of custom job. It means framing a new rough opening, pulling a permit, and installing exactly the window you want. We handle the full scope, from header engineering to finish trim, so you’re not coordinating three separate trades.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step

Call and talk to a person, not a phone tree. When you reach us at (850) 303-7739, a live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’ll ask about your opening, listen to what you’re trying to solve, and book a site visit at a time that works for you.

On-site measurement and honest consultation. A uniformed, background-checked technician comes to your home, measures every opening twice, and talks through the options: frame material, glass package, impact rating, grille pattern, finish. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you can compare what each one actually costs.
- 3
Written, line-item quote with no surprises. We give you upfront pricing in writing. Every line item is explained. There are no hidden fees, no “change order” surprises, and no second appointment left hanging. If your opening needs structural work, we tell you before you sign, not after the drywall comes off.
- 4
Permit and installation, done by our own crew. We pull the permit, coordinate any inspections, and install on the scheduled date. Our technicians work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s house: drop cloths down, work area cleaned at the end of the day, no shortcuts.
- 5
Warranty registration before the truck leaves the driveway. This is the Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before our technician leaves your property. You get paper proof, not a promise. And the Done Right Promise covers the workmanship with no fine print that covers neither.
How Much Does Custom Windows & Doors Cost in Lauderhill?
A custom window in Lauderhill typically runs $1,800 to $6,500 per opening for standard residential sizes. Oversized glass panels and curtain wall systems range from $4,000 to $18,000 depending on engineering requirements and glass thickness. Commercial storefront glazing usually starts around $2,500 per storefront bay. Architectural grilles and SDLs add $150 to $500 per window depending on pattern complexity and whether the bars are applied or internal.
What moves the price: glass package (impact-rated is more than standard, laminated is more than tempered), frame material (vinyl, aluminum, thermally broken aluminum, wood-clad), opening size, structural modifications, finish color, and whether the project requires engineering for load-bearing headers. The surest way to overpay is to take a verbal quote, because the details that matter are exactly the ones a verbal quote hides. Every TruePane estimate is written, line-item, and includes both warranty layers registered in writing before any work begins. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate with real numbers on paper.
