AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across North Lauderdale
Impact windows and doors in North Lauderdale are not a discretionary upgrade anymore. They are a code compliance and insurance necessity tied to one specific housing era. Nearly every home in this city was built between 1970 and 1985, which means the original windows and doors carry no Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and will not pass a Broward County permit inspection. TruePane Windows & Doors replaces those aging openings with rated, permitted, warrantied units. If you have a Citizens Insurance non-renewal letter on the kitchen counter, call (850) 303-7739 and we will walk you through what your house actually needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We know what a 1978 CBS ranch on SW 76th Avenue looks like behind the drywall, because we have opened those walls. We know the original aluminum sliders on the rear patio are corroded at the track and the sill pan was never flashed. We know the hollow-core steel front door is rusting at the bottom rail. That is not a sales pitch. That is what years of doing this work in South Florida teaches you.
Our Impact Windows & Doors team measures every opening twice and quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you are buying before you sign. Every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights. No arguing. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We are also a company that plans to be in North Lauderdale in thirty years. We hire local apprentices, train them into journeymen, and answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a regional call center. You call, a person answers. That matters when an inspector is standing on your driveway and you need an answer now.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in North Lauderdale
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most North Lauderdale homes still have original 1970s aluminum single-pane windows. Those units do not carry a Miami-Dade NOA number, and Broward County will not close a permit on a window replacement without one. We replace them with impact-rated units that meet the county-wide High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard. For a typical 1,400-square-foot CBS ranch, full window replacement in North Lauderdale runs $12,000 to $22,000 depending on count, size, and whether jalousie windows in the Florida room are included. PGT and Simonton lines are the most common choices here, and we quote them side by side with the NOA number printed on the estimate.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The original 1978 aluminum sliders on rear patios across North Lauderdale are failing from decades of salt-laden air even though the coast is 8 to 10 miles east. Frames corrode at the threshold, thermal breaks degrade, and the door binds or leaks. A single impact-rated sliding glass door replacement in North Lauderdale typically runs $4,500 to $8,500 installed, flashed, and permitted. On a mid-block ranch on SW 76th Avenue, our crew pulled an original slider and found rusted steel shims and no sill pan at all. We replaced the unit with an impact-rated door, flashed the opening with polyurethane tape, and closed the permit with the Miami-Dade NOA on the plans. Inspector approved the same afternoon.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Hollow-core steel entry doors from the tract build era are rusting at the bottom rail and jamb. The locking point weakens exactly where wind-borne debris would hit. We replace them with impact-rated fiberglass or steel entry doors carrying a valid NOA. An impact entry door in North Lauderdale runs $3,200 to $6,500 installed. French door replacements run higher, from $6,000 to $10,500, depending on width and whether the header needs reinforcement. We pull the permit, we meet the inspector, and the door is rated before we leave.
Impact Garage Doors
Originally this city was built before wind-rated garage doors were standard. A single-car impact garage door in North Lauderdale runs $3,800 to $6,800. A double garage door runs $5,500 to $9,500. The garage door is often the largest opening in the home and the most common point of wind entry failure, so we treat it with the same code attention as any window. The Broward inspector will check the product approval on the garage door just as closely as on the front door.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
We help homeowners in North Lauderdale document what they have and replace what does not pass. A wind mitigation inspection runs $150 to $300, and we work with local inspectors who are familiar with the 1970s CBS housing stock. If your existing openings are not NOA-approved, you cannot close a permit, you cannot document a retrofit, and your insurance renewal is in jeopardy. We fix that. We pull the permit, reference the product approvals on the plans, and stand at the final inspection until it closes.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For North Lauderdale homes, the most commonly specified brands are PGT, Simonton, and Ply Gem because they offer product lines with the Miami-Dade NOA numbers inspectors and insurance underwriters expect to see. We stock local parts in the South Florida metro area, so replacement hardware or sash components do not take weeks to arrive. We also service existing impact units from any manufacturer, not just the ones we install. If a PGT slider is binding or a CGI window has a failed seal, we repair it and stand behind the work.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Corroded aluminum sliders from salt-laden air. Even inland North Lauderdale gets enough coastal moisture that original 1970s aluminum frames corrode at the track and threshold. The door still looks intact from ten feet away, but it binds, leaks, and will not pass a window or door inspection.
- Failed thermally-broken sashes in original single-pane windows. These units were never rated for the HVHZ. The thermal break degrades, the sash warps, and the window no longer seals. Homeowners sometimes try to “re-glaze” them. Broward inspectors will not close a permit until a full rated replacement is in place.
- Rusted hollow-core steel entry doors. The bottom rail rusts from decades of ground moisture and humidity. The locking point weakens. Insurance inspectors flag these doors because the wind-borne debris region rating is county-wide, no inland exemption.
- Jalousie windows in enclosed Florida rooms. Homeowners still mistake these for reparable. They are not. If a jalousie window is part of the conditioned envelope, Broward County requires a full HVHZ-rated replacement before an open permit will close.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in North Lauderdale, FL
Unless you really want to overpay for a coastal-spec door you do not have to buy, we quote exactly what your house needs. A typical impact window replacement in North Lauderdale runs $650 to $1,400 per opening. A standard impact sliding glass door runs $4,500 to $8,500. An impact entry door runs $3,200 to $6,500. A wind mitigation inspection with documentation runs $150 to $300. The biggest variable on a North Lauderdale quote is whether the original jalousie or sliding door openings are being brought into the conditioned envelope, because that changes the permit scope and the product approval requirements. We give you a written line-item quote and the permit is included. No change orders unless you request a different product after signing. Call (850) 303-7739 and we will price your house the same day.
One honest note on cost: the reason some Palm Beach contractors quote lower numbers for North Lauderdale work is they are not carrying Broward County’s HVHZ permit burden. They submit plans without Miami-Dade NOA product approvals and the permit gets rejected, or they price a non-rated unit as if it were rated and the inspector flags it at rough inspection. We have seen this happen repeatedly. Anyone working in North Lauderdale must reference a valid NOA on the plans, and we do that as standard practice on every permitted job.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in North Lauderdale
Yes. Broward County, including inland North Lauderdale, falls entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every window and door product must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number. There is no inland exemption. A contractor who tells you otherwise will get your permit rejected at the first review, and you will be left holding an unpermitted install and an insurance non-renewal. Call (850) 303-7739 to confirm exactly what your house needs, and we will put the NOA number on the estimate in writing.
No. Broward County will not close a permit on an original 1970s aluminum slider that was re-glazed, because the frame itself was never rated for HVHZ. The entire unit must be replaced with a Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact sliding glass door. We have replaced dozens of these in North Lauderdale, and the inspector checks the product approval on the frame, not just the glass. Call (850) 303-7739 and we will tell you before we quote whether the opening can be salvaged or must be replaced.
Because Palm Beach operates under different wind-borne debris region rules in much of its inland territory, and contractors who do not regularly work in Broward County often do not carry the Miami-Dade NOA documentation that North Lauderdale permits require. The quote looks cheaper until the permit is rejected or the inspector flags the product approval. We price North Lauderdale work with the NOA reference on the plans from the start, because that is the only way the job closes. Get the written line-item quote and compare it line by line. Call (850) 303-7739 for the exact number.
Yes, when it is documented correctly. Citizens Insurance now requires proof of impact-rated openings or a valid wind mitigation inspection to avoid surcharges or non-renewal. Jalousie windows in enclosed Florida rooms are a common reason North Lauderdale homes fail these reviews, because the original units are not NOA-rated. We replace the jalousies with rated impact windows, pull the permit, and provide the product approval documentation your insurance agent needs. Call (850) 303-7739 and bring your renewal letter to the estimate.
A Florida Product Approval is valid in parts of Florida outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but Broward County requires the stricter Miami-Dade NOA for every window and door product. An NOA is a product approval issued by Miami-Dade County that some manufacturers pursue for their rated lines. In North Lauderdale, if your product does not carry an NOA, your permit will not be approved. We quote only NOA-rated products for any North Lauderdale job. Call (850) 303-7739 and we will show you the product approval on the quote before you sign anything.
