Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Installation Across Fort Lauderdale

Window installation in Fort Lauderdale runs $750-$2,900 per opening for a standard retrofit, with impact-rated units from $1,200-$4,200 depending on size, frame material, and the NOA documentation behind the product. A full jalousie-to-impact conversion on a 1960s CBS home in Victoria Park or Coral Ridge typically lands between $18,000 and $45,000 because the masonry work and permitting are part of the job, not an afterthought.

We’ve worked Fort Lauderdale long enough to know that every window here answers to two masters: the Broward County inspector and the Atlantic’s salt air. Most national window companies know one or the other. We plan for both on the same sheet of paper. Our team serves the city from a metro office in Miami, and we’ve set more windows in Rio Vista, Lauderdale Manors, and along A1A than we can count. The founding rule on the whiteboard hasn’t changed since Dale Kessler started this company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Window Installation Company

Fort Lauderdale sits entirely inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s not a marketing phrase. It means every window and door replacement here must carry a valid Miami-Dade or Broward Notice of Acceptance and pass a Broward County inspection before the job is closed. A big-box window with a sticker that says “impact rated” doesn’t get you there on its own. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway, and we’ve stood behind that paperwork since 2008 through the Kessler family’s craft tradition.

Homeowners in Fort Lauderdale call us because a live person answers, day or night, and because the crew that shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice. Not once. Twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and we carry more than a dozen authorized lines including Marvin, PGT, CGI, and Andersen. Our Window Installation team has handled everything from single fixed-picture replacements in high-rise condos off Galt Ocean Mile to whole-house jalousie conversions in Rio Vista, always with a written line-item quote and no surprise billing.

We don’t treat your job as a transaction. We treat it as our reputation on your house. That’s why every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. In a market where too many contractors vanish after the final check clears, a square deal and a company that plans to be in town in thirty years is what keeps our phone ringing from Hollywood to Oakland Park.

Our Window Installation Services in Fort Lauderdale

Most Fort Lauderdale homes need one of four things: a jalousie conversion, a sliding window upgrade on a concrete-block wall, impact-rated casements, or a simple single/double hung swap where the old aluminum frame has finally given up. We handle all of them, and the sub-services below cover what we see most often in this market.

Impact-Rated Casement Windows

Casement windows with a proper NOA rating make sense on Fort Lauderdale’s older CBS homes because the full-perimeter compression seal does two jobs at once: it keeps wind-driven rain out of a failing sill, and it locks the sash into the frame during a storm the way a cheap retrofit never will. A typical Marvin or Milgard impact casement runs $1,400-$3,800 per unit installed in Fort Lauderdale, depending on the opening and whether the existing frame can carry the load or needs full replacement. We measure the rough opening, confirm the NOA number before ordering, and pass the Broward inspection with the paperwork in hand.

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows are the workhorse of Fort Lauderdale’s 1950s-1970s ranch and CBS housing stock. The original single-pane aluminum sliders in Coral Ridge and Lauderdale Manors are neither thermally broken nor impact-rated, and after fifty years of salt air they bind, leak, and pit at the corners. Energy-Efficient Windows - Fort Lauderdale upgrades solve both problems. A quality Simonton or Jeld-Wen impact slider with low-E glass starts around $1,100 per unit and goes up from there. We replace the full frame, flash the opening correctly for a Marine-C5 corrosion environment, and make sure the track drains away from the house, not into it.

Jalousie Replacement

If your Fort Lauderdale home still has jalousie windows, you already know they’ll never pass an inspection. They can’t. Jalousies are categorically un-bringable into HVHZ compliance with any shutter or film add-on, and the rough opening in an 8-inch CBS wall almost never matches a modern impact unit’s dimensions. That means every jalousie-to-impact replacement requires a masonry modification permit from Broward County before framing starts. Out-of-market contractors routinely miss this line item. We don’t. We pull the permit, size the opening correctly, and leave you with a documented NOA for your insurance file.

Awning Windows

Awning windows are common in Fort Lauderdale kitchens and baths where the original builder put a small jalousie or hopper above the sink. The top-hinged design sheds rain well, which matters in a city where summer afternoon thunderstorm cycles drive water into every weak weatherstrip. We install impact-rated awning windows from Marvin and Milgard, and we frame them to the existing block with proper flashing. Expect $900-$2,400 per unit depending on glass package and opening size.

Single & Double Hung Windows

For Fort Lauderdale homes where the original sashes still operate but the seals are fogged and the frames are oxidized, a single or double hung replacement is often the most cost-effective path to compliance. We carry Simonton and Jeld-Wen double hungs with low-E and argon fill that meet Broward’s NOA requirements, and we replace them without tearing out the interior trim unnecessarily. That’s standard on our Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale. Most jobs run $800-$2,600 per window and take a single day per opening.

Fixed & Picture Windows

Fixed picture windows face Fort Lauderdale’s bay and canal views, which means they also face the full force of a hurricane’s wind load. A large fixed unit in a Coral Ridge mid-century living room needs stronger glass and a thicker frame than a bedroom awning. We install impact-rated picture windows up to the maximum NOA-tested dimensions, with pricing from $1,600-$5,000 depending on square footage and glazing. The view stays. The glass does its job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ market we lean on most often because their NOA documentation is clean and their frames hold up in salt-laden air better than most. We keep local parts access for these lines, which means a replacement sash or hardware piece doesn’t sit on a truck for two weeks while your window is out of service. When you’re looking at Fort Lauderdale window quotes, ask the contractor which NOA numbers are on the quote. If they can’t tell you, walk away.

Common Window Installation Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• Non-NOA windows that fail Broward County inspection. We’ve been called to fix jobs where a homeowner bought “impact rated” windows that weren’t, then got red-tagged by the inspector. The tear-out and replacement cost double the original job. We verify the NOA before we order.
• Missing masonry modification permits on jalousie conversions. An 8-inch CBS wall doesn’t fit a modern impact frame without cutting block. That’s a permit in Fort Lauderdale. Skipping it leads to change-order disputes and failed finals. We factor it into the quote from day one.
• Vinyl frames not rated for Marine-C5 corrosion. Fort Lauderdale’s 300+ miles of inland canals bathe properties miles from the ocean in corrosive salt air. Cheap vinyl welds yellow and warp at the corners within years. We spec frames for the environment, not the brochure.
• Wind-driven rain through failing sills. Summer thunderstorm cycles push water into every weak sill and weatherstrip. If the flashing wasn’t sealed correctly on the last install, the damage shows up as interior water stains within two seasons. We re-flash every opening as standard practice.
