Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Sunrise
Impact window and door replacement in Sunrise is not a simple swap-out job. Most homes here were built between the 1960s and 1980s on drained Everglades land, which means the original aluminum single-pane windows and non-impact sliding glass doors fail on two fronts at once: they don’t meet Broward County’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements, and the frames have spent decades corroding in ground-level humidity that never really dries out. We handle full frame-and-sash tear-outs, re-squaring of settled rough openings, and Florida Product Approval documentation from start to finish. Call (850) 303-7739 to schedule a free estimate on Impact Windows & Doors for your Sunrise home.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Sunrise homeowners call us because we treat a window opening like the structural joint it is. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after years of watching out-of-true installs void warranty claims and leave families with fogged glass and doors that bound in July. The rule he keeps on the whiteboard hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters more in Sunrise than in most cities, because the soil here shifts. A rough opening that was square when the house was built in 1972 probably isn’t square now, and an insert replacement slapped into that opening will leak and bind within a season or two.
Our crews have worked through Sunrise Golf Village, the villa communities off Oak Park and Nob Hill, and the CBS ranch homes along Sunset Strip. We know the HOA board packet drill. We know which permit reviewers want which wind-load sheets. And we know that Sunrise homeowners have been burned before by contractors who quoted an insert replacement and walked away when the opening turned out to be out-of-square. We don’t walk away. We re-square, re-flash, and document the correction. Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise, both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
The live person who answers the phone when you call (850) 303-7739 knows Sunrise. Not a regional call center. Not a callback form. A person who can answer questions about permit sequencing, HOA frame-color restrictions, and what a compliant quote should include. That’s the way it’s been since 2008 of community service, and it’s the way we intend to keep it.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Sunrise
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Sunrise homes that still carry their original single-pane aluminum windows are overdue for a full tear-out. The glass predates Broward County’s post-Hurricane Andrew impact-glazing rules, and the frames have spent 40 to 60 years absorbing the high-moisture ground environment that comes with building on former Everglades drainage land. We install Florida Product Approval-rated impact windows from manufacturers like Marvin, Milgard, and Simonton, with low-E glass and argon fill spec’d for South Florida humidity. Each opening gets measured twice, and the rough opening gets checked for settlement before the first fastener goes in.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The original aluminum sliding glass doors in Sunrise’s 1960s to 1980s CBS homes were never designed for hurricane wind loads. They were designed to be cheap, and after decades of exposure to persistent ground-level humidity, the tracks corrode, the rollers seize, and the weatherstripping crumbles. We replace them with impact-rated units that carry the wind-load ratings Broward County requires, and we re-square the opening before the new frame goes in. In Sunrise, skipping that step means a door that binds in July and leaks in August.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry and French doors on Sunrise homes face the same dual pressure as windows: wind-load requirements on one side, warped jambs and corroded hinges from ground humidity on the other. A wooden door jamb that’s been breathing Everglades moisture for 40 years isn’t going to hold an impact-rated slab straight. We replace the entire assembly, jamb and all, with products rated for the high-velocity hurricane zone and finished to match the home’s existing style.

Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening in a Sunrise home, and the most frequently overlooked in a wind mitigation survey. An original non-impact garage door can allow a pressure blowout that takes the roof with it. We install and reinforce impact-rated garage doors that meet the county’s wind-load standards and document the work for your wind mitigation file. If you’re preparing for an insurance re-rate, this is one of the first items the inspector looks at.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including. That matters in Sunrise because an authorized installer can register both warranty layers in writing and state the coverage duration before the truck leaves your driveway. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying, and we keep local stock and ordering channels open for Sunrise customers so turnaround doesn’t stall on a backordered sash or grid. If a warranty question comes up three years from now, we want the answer to be in the file, not in an argument.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames from persistent ground-level humidity. The high-moisture soil under Sunrise keeps humidity at the foundation line year-round, and it eats aluminum frames from the sill up. Seals fail, sashes bind, and the window starts leaking air long before it leaks water.
- Out-of-square rough openings from soil settlement. The organic Everglades soil under Sunrise shifts and settles for decades after construction. A full frame-and-sash tear-out with re-squaring is the norm here, not an exception. Cheap quotes that skip the structural correction leave you with a new window in a crooked hole.
- Non-impact openings that fail Broward County’s replacement code. There is no inland exemption in Sunrise. Any permitted replacement must be Florida Product Approval impact-rated or shutter-protected. If a quote doesn’t include the wind-load documentation, it isn’t a compliant quote.
- HOA deed restrictions that stall permits. Dozens of Sunrise’s 1970s villa and townhome communities, including Sunrise Golf Village, layer deed-restriction rules on frame color and grid pattern on top of the county code. Contractors who don’t check the HOA packet before pulling permits get red-tagged and delayed for weeks.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Sunrise, FL
Impact window replacement in Sunrise typically runs $80 to $140 per square foot for a full frame-and-sash tear-out with Florida Product Approval-rated glass, depending on size, grid pattern, and the condition of the existing opening. Impact sliding glass doors usually land between $4,500 and $9,000 installed, again depending on width and whether the rough opening needs structural re-squaring. A typical single-family Sunrise home with 12 to 15 original single-pane openings generally falls in the $18,000 to $32,000 range for complete replacement. Entry impact doors run $3,000 to $6,500, and a wind mitigation compliance package that includes the garage door, inspection documentation, and both warranty registrations runs $800 to $2,200 above the glazing work. These are Sunrise market numbers, not national averages. Call (850) 303-7739 for a written line-item quote on your specific openings. Estimates are free, and the number on the quote is the number on the bill.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Replacement impact windows and doors in Sunrise must carry Florida Product Approval documentation showing the specific wind-load rating for the opening’s size and location, with no inland exemption under Broward County’s high-velocity hurricane zone rules. Your permit reviewer will check the product approval number against the opening dimensions, and a compliant quote includes that paperwork up front. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll walk you through the exact ratings your home needs.
Sunrise sits on drained Everglades wetland, and the high-moisture soil settles and shifts for decades after construction. The original window and door rough openings in 1960s to 1980s CBS homes are almost never square anymore, and an insert replacement installed into an out-of-square opening will bind, leak, and fail within a season or two. Full frame-and-sash tear-outs let us re-square the opening and flash-tape the new buck before the unit goes in. Call (850) 303-7739 for an estimate that includes the structural correction, not one that hides it.
Documented wind mitigation compliance on file with your insurance carrier can reduce your windstorm premium, and in some cases it’s the difference between a renewal and a non-renewal in Broward County. The inspection report has to show proof of impact-rated or shutter-protected openings, including the garage door. We register both warranty layers in writing and provide the documentation the inspector needs. Call (850) 303-7739 and ask about a wind mitigation compliance package for your Sunrise home.
No, HOA frame-color and grid-pattern requirements do not conflict with Broward County’s impact-glazing code. The impact rating is a property of the glass and frame assembly, not the finish color or grid configuration. What does conflict is a contractor who skips the HOA approval step and pulls a permit the HOA then challenges. We pull the HOA packet first, confirm the finish and grid requirements, and submit the permit with everything aligned. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll handle the dual approval from the start.
Yes, hurricane shutters that carry Florida Product Approval can meet the code requirement for opening protection in Sunrise, and for some homeowners that’s the right short-term call. But shutters don’t fix corroded frames, failed seals, or out-of-square openings, and they don’t get you the energy-performance improvement that impact-rated low-E glass provides. If your original single-panes are already binding and fogging, you’re paying for a protection layer on top of a failing window. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll quote both options side by side in writing.
