Before & After Gallery - TruePane Windows & Doors

Windows & Doors Before & After in Lauderhill, FL

Photographs are honest. A window that was fogged, rotted, or out of square doesn’t hide from a camera, and neither does an install where the trim miters meet tight and the sash rides true. We’ve assembled this gallery of recent transformations in Lauderhill and surrounding Broward County neighborhoods so you can judge the work the way Dale Kessler judges it: by the corners, the reveals, and whether the pane sits true in its opening.

Recent Transformations

Rotted Frame Replacement in Inverrary

The problem was a window frame in Inverrary that had been soaking up sprinkler overspray for years. The bottom sill had gone soft enough to push a screwdriver through, and the sash no longer sealed against the jamb. We pulled the old unit, cut back the damaged framing, treated the opening, and rebuilt it square before setting a PGT impact-rated vinyl replacement. The result is a window that closes with one finger and drains water away from the rough opening instead of into it.

Fogged Double-Pane Swap in Central Lauderhill

This Central Lauderhill home had a picture window that looked like a shower door after every rain: condensation permanently trapped between the panes. The thermal seal had failed years earlier, and the argon fill was long gone. We replaced the insulated glass unit with a Low-E option that cut the afternoon heat gain noticeably, and the homeowners no longer run a towel across the glass every morning. The frame itself was sound, so we left it alone. No reason to charge for demolition when the problem is only the glass.

Sliding Patio Door That Wouldn’t Slide in West Ken Lark

The homeowner in West Ken Lark had been lifting the door with their shoulder to get it past the bowed track for two summers. The rollers were ground flat, and the frame had settled enough that the door no longer locked without a screwdriver wedged in the track. We pulled the entire unit, found the header had sagged a quarter inch, reframed it level, and installed a new impact-rated slider rated for Miami-Dade wind loads. It now rolls on ball-bearing rollers with two fingers. The lock engages without a fight.

Builder-Grade Windows to Impact in St. George

The house in St. George was built in 1998 with the cheapest aluminum single-hungs the developer could buy. Caulking had shrunk, the balances were failing, and two windows wouldn’t stay open without a stick. We replaced all seven openings with impact-rated units, mixing PGT and ES Windows based on which opening sizes each manufacturer builds best. Both warranty layers were registered in writing before we left the driveway, per The Keystone Standard. The homeowner now has a uniform look, real hurricane protection, and windows that hold position at any height.

Custom Glass Railing on a Raised Patio in Plantation Gardens

The old railing was original to a 1980s addition, and the bottom track was rusting so badly it had started to stain the tile below. Beyond the corrosion, it blocked the view of the yard from the living room. We fabricated a custom glass railing system using tempered panels set in stainless standoffs, which meets code for the drop while opening up the sightline. The homeowners now see their garden from the sofa instead of a row of rusted pickets. The install took a single day, including removing the old track and patching the tile.

Warped Front Door and Sidelite in Sunrise

The entry door on this Sunrise home had warped enough that daylight was visible around the latch side, and the sidelite seal had failed years before. During summer storms, water worked its way under the threshold. We replaced the entire entry system with a factory-finished fiberglass door and a matching sidelite, set in a new rot-resistant jamb with a composite threshold. The house now stays dry, the deadbolt throws cleanly, and the door won’t swell in the humidity. The homeowner chose a color match to the original trim, so the street view barely changed.
