AfterWindows & Doors Services in North Lauderdale, FL
Welcome. If you own a home in North Lauderdale, the odds are good it was built in the 1970s or early 1980s, and the odds are even better that its original windows and doors are no longer code compliant. That is not a sales pitch. That is what Broward County code says about buildings constructed before Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards existed. TruePane Windows & Doors handles window and door replacement all over North Lauderdale, and we know exactly what the local inspectors look for, because we deal with it every week. When you call (850) 303-7739, a real person answers, and we’ll schedule a free estimate at your home on your schedule, not ours.

Why North Lauderdale Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard to this day: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule matters more in North Lauderdale than in most places, because the housing stock here is unusually uniform. The neighborhoods off Rock Island Road and McNab Road, like The Hamptons and the older sections near North Lauderdale’s central corridor along Southwest 81st Avenue, are packed with single-story CBS homes from the late 1970s and early 1980s. They nearly all have the same original aluminum single-pane sliders, the same jalousie windows in the Florida rooms, and the same hollow-core entry doors. That means the same failures show up block after block: fogged seals, binding doors, warped tracks, and panes that were never rated for the wind loads this county requires.
Homeowners call us because we tell them the truth before we sell them anything. We measure twice before we quote, we present manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Our installers are background-checked and uniformed, and they treat your home the way they would treat their own mother’s house. We are not the cheapest bid in North Lauderdale, and we will never pretend to be. We are the last call you need to make.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in North Lauderdale
Window Installation
Our Window Installation in North Lauderdale starts with a full measurement audit of every opening, because in 1970s tract homes, no two openings are precisely the same. We install new, HVHZ-compliant windows square, level, and sealed so they perform the day they go in and twenty years later.
Door Installation
We replace front entries, side doors, French doors, and more with properly hung, sealed, and weatherproofed units. On North Lauderdale ranch homes, the entry door is usually the first line of defense against wind-driven rain, and an out-of-true install is a guarantee of trouble. Learn more about our Door Installation in North Lauderdale.
Window Replacement
If your windows fog between the panes, bind when you slide them, or let daylight in around the frames, replacement is usually cheaper than repeated repairs. We do full-frame and insert replacements, always with hurricane-rated glass and always with paperwork the building department will accept. See our Window Replacement in North Lauderdale page for specifics.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors are not an upgrade in North Lauderdale. They are the only way to close a permit and satisfy your insurance carrier. We install CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems products that carry Miami-Dade NOA numbers, and we handle the product approval paperwork so the inspection passes the first time.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and gas-filled insulating glass make a real difference on a North Lauderdale afternoon in August, when the sun sits on a west-facing patio sliders for hours. Your cooling bill drops, and the house stays noticeably more comfortable without cranking the thermostat.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Those original aluminum sliders on the rear patio were never rated for the wind loads Broward County now requires. We replace them with heavy-frame, impact-rated sliding doors that track smoothly and seal tight, with no daylight showing around the weatherstripping.
Glass Railing Systems
If you are renovating a pool deck or second-story balcony, we install frameless and semi-frameless glass railing systems with tempered safety glass and code-compliant anchoring. Clean sightlines, no rust, and no wobble when you lean on them.
Custom Windows & Doors
Odd openings, arched tops, non-standard sizes, or a design you have been drawing on paper for years. We build and install custom windows and doors to fit the actual opening, not the nearest stock size, and we stand behind the result in writing.
Neighborhoods We Serve in North Lauderdale
We work throughout North Lauderdale, from the homes along McNab Road on the north edge to the neighborhoods south of West Commercial Boulevard, and from Southwest 81st Avenue east to the city line. Our response time for estimates in the area is typically one to two business days.

Why North Lauderdale’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
North Lauderdale sits roughly eight to ten miles inland from the Atlantic, and a lot of people assume that means the coastal building rules do not apply here. They are wrong. Broward County falls entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every window and door product installed in this city must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number. There is no inland exemption, and the building department does not bend on it. Broward County permit inspectors routinely reject window and door replacement plans submitted without a valid NOA, and that trips up contractors from Palm Beach and other non-HVHZ counties who take North Lauderdale jobs without understanding the paperwork.
The housing stock makes this especially concentrated. North Lauderdale was built out rapidly in the 1970s and early 1980s as affordable Broward suburbia, and the overwhelming majority of homes are single-story CBS construction with original aluminum single-pane sliding windows, jalousie windows in the enclosed Florida rooms, and standard steel or hollow-core entry doors. None of that original material meets current code. Even a visually intact original sliding glass door at the rear patio must be fully replaced with an HVHZ-rated unit before an open permit will close. There is no repair-and-reglaze path once the building department is involved. And insurance carriers have caught up: policyholders across this working-class city are being asked to document impact-rated openings or face surcharges and non-renewals. What was once an optional upgrade is now the cost of keeping a policy in force.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in North Lauderdale
Yes. Broward County, including all of North Lauderdale, sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the building department requires a Miami-Dade NOA product approval number on every window and door installation permit. There is no exception for inland homes. If your house still has original 1970s or 1980s aluminum windows, they almost certainly do not comply. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free assessment of what you currently have and what it will take to bring it into compliance.
For a typical North Lauderdale ranch home, full window replacement usually falls between $12,000 and $28,000 depending on the product line, the number of openings, and whether you choose impact-rated glass throughout. We provide written, line-by-line quotes so you can see exactly where every dollar goes before you sign anything. Estimates are free at (850) 303-7739.
No. We write the price down before work begins, and that is the price you pay. The only situation that would change a written quote is if we open a wall and find structural damage no one could have seen from the outside, and in that case we stop, show you the problem, and get your written approval before doing anything else. That is how a square deal works.
We do. TruePane pulls all required Broward County permits for window and door replacement work, we reference the correct Miami-Dade NOA product approvals on the submitted plans, and we schedule and pass the required inspections. You should not have to chase a building department. We handle it.
Most single-home window replacement projects in North Lauderdale take one to three days once the product arrives, and we complete most jobs in a single visit. Product lead times vary by manufacturer, typically two to six weeks for impact-rated lines. We will give you a written schedule before you commit, and we will be there when we say we will be.

What North Lauderdale Customers Say
"Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G."Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A.
