Trusted Custom & Geometric Windows for Lauderhill Homeowners
Custom and geometric windows in Lauderhill typically cost $1,400 to $4,800 per opening installed, depending on shape, size, glass package, and whether impact rating is required. Most true custom jobs take 4 to 8 weeks from template to install, because the unit is built to your exact opening rather than pulled off a shelf. TruePane Windows & Doors has measured, ordered, and set shaped windows across Lauderhill since 2008, and Dale Kessler still holds every job to the rule written on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (850) 303-7739 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
Lauderhill homes lean heavily toward mid-century and 1970s construction, which means a lot of original hexagons, half-rounds, trapezoids, and fixed picture shapes that big-box retailers will not touch. We do. And we bring both manufacturer warranty layers to you in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, registered and dated under The Keystone Standard.
What Our Custom & Geometric Windows Service Includes
Custom work is not simply a larger version of standard window replacement. It is a different discipline entirely. Every shaped opening gets measured twice, templated when the existing frame is out of square, and quoted side by side against the manufacturer line that best suits the architecture and the wind zone. Below is what TruePane Windows & Doors actually does under the custom and geometric heading.
Custom Impact Windows
A custom impact window is a shaped or oversized unit engineered to meet Miami-Dade or Broward County wind-load requirements without surrendering the original architectural lines of the home. In Lauderhill, where many houses still carry original fixed trapezoids and corner windows, this matters because retrofitting a square impact window into a shaped opening ruins the elevation and lowers curb value. We template each opening, specify laminated glass with the correct interlayer, and install custom impact windows from PGT and CGI that carry the full design pressure rating for Broward County, not a generic coastal assumption.

Geometric & Shaped Windows
Geometric windows include trapezoids, pentagons, octagons, parallelograms, and true custom polygons that frame stairwells, cathedral gables, and entryways. When an original geometric unit seals fail or the frame begins to rot, most homeowners learn that the replacement cannot be ordered by size alone, it must be re-templated because the rough opening has shifted over decades. We come out, take field measurements at multiple points across the opening, and order the new unit with the exact bevel, glass pack, and frame color to match what is there now. The finished window drops into the existing line without reframing.

Arched & Curved Windows
Arched windows, half-rounds, quarter-rounds, and eyebrow curves are the most common custom shapes in Lauderhill’s older neighborhoods, particularly above entry doors and on front elevations. These units are built from true-radius bent frame stock or segmented construction depending on the manufacturer, and the distinction matters for both looks and long-term seal performance. TruePane orders from manufacturers who produce genuine bent-glass radius work when the opening calls for it, and we have set enough of them to know that a half-round must be shimmed and flashed differently than a square twin. The arch sits still and drains right, or it leaks in the first hard summer storm.

Oversized Openings
Oversized custom windows start around 40 square feet of glass and run up from there, typically as fixed picture units, multi-lite assemblies, or heavy sliders that replace an entire sunroom wall. These jobs involve structural headers, often engineered lumber, sometimes steel, and they are not a one-person replacement project. TruePane has installed oversized openings in Lauderhill homes where the old aluminum frame had sagged so badly the glass was carrying part of the roof load. We design the header, pull the permit, set the new unit, and warranty the workmanship for 90 days under the Done Right Promise. The manufacturer warranty, both layers, gets registered in your name before we leave.

Brands We Service for Custom & Geometric Windows
TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we have put those lines into more Lauderhill openings than we could count without pulling the job files. PGT remains the default for custom impact work because their laminated glass and frame extrusions hold design pressure ratings that Broward County inspectors know and accept without question. When the opening is a true radius or an eyebrow arch, we look hard at ES Windows for their bent-glass capability and cleaner sightlines, especially on mid-century elevations where bulky frames would wreck the original look.
CGI carries the heavier commercial-grade lineage, which shows up in oversized slider walls and corner assemblies where a standard residential unit would flex in the wind. Each manufacturer has different lead times, warranty terms, and glass package options, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what each line costs, how long it takes, and what the warranty covers in writing. If you already have PGT, CGI, ES Windows, or any other make in the house, we can service it, and we can tell you whether a repair beats a replacement before you spend a dollar.

Signs You Need Custom & Geometric Windows Right Now
- Condensation or haze trapped between the panes. That is a failed seal, and on a shaped window it never self-corrects. The inert gas has escaped, the insulated glass unit is dead, and the only lasting fix is a new IGU in the same shape, which is a custom order every time.
- Visible sag in the frame or binding at the corners. Geometric windows have more mitered joints than squares, and when water has been getting in at the top corner for years, those joints fail first. A sagging trapezoid is not cosmetic; it means the frame is losing structural integrity and the glass is carrying stress it was not designed to carry.
- Water stains on the drywall beneath a half-round or arch. Arched windows drain differently than rectangles. If there is staining below the sill line, the flashing or the pan flashing has failed, and the leak will only travel further into the wall cavity with every storm. Lauderhill gets more than 60 inches of rain a year, and water does not slow down.
- You can hear the street from inside with the window closed. Shaped windows in older Lauderhill homes were often single-pane float glass. If the noise from State Road 7 or the Turnpike has gotten louder in the living room over the years, you are living with glass that was never meant to insulate anything. A custom acoustic or laminated replacement changes that.
- The window is painted shut or nailed into place. We see this on at least one opening in every other 1970s home we walk. A prior occupant could not make the window work, so they disabled it. On any shaped window, that is a code and egress problem waiting to bite, and it usually means the balance hardware or hinge path is long gone.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Process - Step by Step
We follow the same order of operations on every custom job, whether it is a single half-round over a front door or a full run of trapezoids across a sunroom. No shortcuts, no surprises on the bill.
- 1
Measure and template. We measure every opening at least twice, at multiple points, because openings in Lauderhill homes are rarely square after 40 or 50 years of settling. For shaped windows, we create a full-size template when the frame is more than a quarter-inch out of square, so the manufacturer builds to the actual opening rather than to a napkin sketch.
- 2
Quote on paper, side by side. You get written pricing for the manufacturer lines that fit the job, with glass packages, frame finishes, lead times, and warranty terms listed line by line. No one gets surprised by a change order later, because we define the job before it starts.
- 3
Permit and order. We pull the permit for any job that requires one, including oversized openings that carry structural scope. The window goes on order the day you approve the quote, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in your name before the unit ever arrives at our shop.
- 4
Install and flash. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. Shaped windows get special treatment at the head, the sill pan, and the jamb flashing, because those are the three places arched and geometric windows fail when a crew cuts corners.
- 5
Walk-through and warranty handoff. We walk the finished job with you, point out what was done and why, and hand you the written warranty registration. If anything is off, it gets fixed within the Done Right Promise, no paperwork and no argument. That is the same standard Dale Kessler has held since the day TruePane hung its first shingle in 2008, built on years of family glazing behind it.
For a look at how we carry this same process into other window work, see our guide to Custom & Geometric Windows in Lauderdale Lakes, where we describe the common shaped openings found across that side of the county.
How Much Does Custom & Geometric Windows Cost in Lauderhill?
A typical custom geometric window in Lauderhill runs $1,400 to $2,800 for a small fixed trapezoid or half-round in a non-impact glass package. A mid-size custom impact unit, say a 40-inch by 40-inch octagon with laminated glass and a Miami-Dade rating, lands between $2,600 and $4,500. Oversized openings, arched assemblies, and multi-lite corner layouts can push past $6,000 per opening once you factor in structural headers and additional framing. These are installed prices, not glass-only numbers.
What moves the price: the shape itself, because extreme angles and true radius work cost more to fabricate; the glass package, with laminated impact glass roughly doubling the cost of standard insulated glass; the frame material and finish; and whether the opening needs structural work before the window goes in. On older Lauderhill homes, plan for some amount of wood repair around shaped windows, since those upper corners have been collecting water for decades.
How to avoid overpaying: do not order a shaped window without a template, and do not pay a deposit on a unit that has not been confirmed against the actual opening. Get the warranty terms in writing, both layers, and confirm the lead time before you commit. Our free estimate includes field measurements, a written line-item quote, and both warranty registrations completed in your name. We have one price for the job and no hidden line items at the end, a square deal, in writing. Call (850) 303-7739 to get yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Custom & Geometric Windows in Lauderhill
A custom or geometric window is any window that is not a standard square or rectangle, and it includes trapezoids, hexagons, octagons, half-rounds, quarter-rounds, arches, eyebrows, and oversized picture units built to a specific opening. In Lauderhill, these windows are common in homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s, when builders used shaped glass to dress up front elevations and stairwells. Because they are not stock sizes, every replacement must be templated and ordered from a manufacturer that builds shaped units, which is exactly what we do. If you have an original shaped window that needs to come out, call (850) 303-7739 and we will tell you what the replacement actually involves before you spend anything.
Most custom and geometric window replacements in Lauderhill take 4 to 8 weeks from template to completed install, and the schedule depends almost entirely on the manufacturer’s fabrication queue. Shaped units are built to order, and impact glass extends lead times more than any other factor. Once the unit arrives at our shop, the actual installation is typically a single day for one or two openings, though oversized structural jobs can run two or three days. We give you the lead time in writing when we quote, and we do not start tearing out an opening until the replacement is physically on hand. Call (850) 303-7739 for a current schedule for your specific window.
Custom window installation in Lauderhill typically ranges from $1,400 to $4,800 per opening installed, with oversized and impact-rated units running higher. Small fixed trapezoids and half-rounds sit at the lower end, while large arched assemblies and structural corner windows with laminated glass sit at the upper end or beyond. Every quote includes the unit, installation, flashing, permit where required, and written warranty registration. Our estimates are free and line-itemed, so you see exactly where the money goes before you approve anything, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Call (850) 303-7739 and we will come measure the opening and put real numbers on paper.
Yes, TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, and both lines show up regularly in our custom and geometric work across Lauderhill. PGT is the workhorse for custom impact shapes, and CGI carries the heavier structural ratings that oversized openings often need. We also install ES Windows on true radius and bent-glass work where thinner sightlines matter. If you have an existing PGT or CGI shaped window that is leaking or fogged, we can tell you whether the unit can be repaired under warranty or whether it is time to replace it. Call (850) 303-7739 and describe what you have; a live person answers and the conversation costs you nothing.
For storm damage, break-ins, or a window that has been knocked out and left the house open, we answer the phone around the clock and we keep crews available for emergency board-up and temporary sealing in Lauderhill and the surrounding cities. A cracked pane in a shaped window is rarely dangerous immediately, but a full breach in an impact zone needs to be secured the same day, and we treat that as the priority it is. Call (850) 303-7739 any hour and you will speak to a person, not a voicemail tree. We will get someone out to make the opening safe and then move to the permanent replacement on a normal schedule.
Every custom and geometric window we install in Lauderhill carries both manufacturer warranty layers, registered in writing and dated before our truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it means you know exactly what the glass warranty covers, what the frame warranty covers, and how long each runs. On top of that, we back our own workmanship for 90 days under the Done Right Promise. If something is not right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing about whose fault it is. Call (850) 303-7739 if you want to know what the warranty terms are on your specific window line, and we will read them to you straight.
Clear a working path from the entry door to the window, move furniture at least six feet back from the opening, and take down any window treatments before the crew arrives. If the window is on a second floor, secure loose items in the rooms below, because pulling a shaped unit out of a wall shakes things loose. Our installers bring drop cloths and floor protection, but the less in the way, the cleaner the job. For a shaped window that has been leaking, expect some wood repair at the rough opening, and we will show you what we found before we close the wall. Call (850) 303-7739 if you have questions about your specific situation, and a live person will walk you through it.
