How Simonton Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Seal failure on StormBreaker Plus impact units. We see this regularly in Plantation’s older developments, particularly around Plantation Acres and Jacaranda. The insulated glass unit loses its seal and the window fogs between the panes. The cause is usually the intense South Florida heat cycling coupled with original installation that was never shimmed square, which puts uneven pressure on the seal. We rebuild the sash, set the new IGU with proper setting blocks, and the fog stays gone.
• Warped sashes on the Reflections 5500 line. Simonton’s Reflections 5500 series uses vinyl extrusions that can bow under prolonged sun exposure, especially on west-facing walls that catch the full afternoon heat in Plantation. A bowed sash won’t seat flush against the weatherstripping. We don’t just force it closed. We check the frame with a level first, and in most cases we can re-square the opening and reset the sash so it locks properly.
• Failed balance systems on Simonton double-hung windows. The constant tension springs and spiral balances in older Simonton units lose tension over time, and the sash either won’t stay up or slams shut. We replace the balance assembly with either Simonton’s OEM parts or a quality aftermarket equivalent that matches the original load rating. We tell you which one we’re using and why, on paper, before the work starts.
• Sprung frames on custom shape windows. Custom shapes like circles, half-rounds, and trapezoids put stress on the frame at the miter joints. If the original install wasn’t shimmed at every anchor point, those joints open up and the window loses its structural squareness. This is exactly what Dale Kessler learned to catch early at McFatter Technical College and in two decades of Broward County installs: a frame out of plumb at the top finds a way to make your life difficult at the bottom.
• Roller and track wear on Simonton sliding glass doors. The heavy sliding panels in Simonton’s patio door lines wear out their rollers, and once a roller goes, the door drags on the track and wears a groove in it. We replace the roller assembly, clean and re-align the track, and set the door so it rides smooth and seals tight against the Florida humidity.

Our Simonton Custom Windows & Doors Process

1. 1
   You call, we answer. A live person answers the phone 24/7 at (772) 577-2915. No voicemail tree, no callback form. We listen to what the window or door is doing, and we schedule a time that works for you.
2. 2
   We measure every opening twice. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure each opening twice, check the rough opening for plumb and level, and note any structural issues that need to be addressed before new glass goes in.
3. 3
   We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. If Simonton isn’t the right fit for your opening, we’ll show you comparable lines from Andersen, Pella, or PGT with prices and lead times stated in writing. You see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs.
4. 4
   We order and verify the right parts. For repairs, we determine whether OEM Simonton parts or a quality aftermarket equivalent makes more sense for your specific unit, and we document that decision in your quote. No ambiguity, no surprise line items.
5. 5
   The install or repair happens in one visit. Most Simonton custom jobs in Plantation are completed in a single visit. Our technicians work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s house: clean, careful, and thorough.
6. 6
   We test, register, and guarantee. Before we leave, we test every window and door through its full range of operation. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated. Then the Done Right Promise takes over. If something isn’t right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing.

If it is not square, level, and in writing, it is not done.

What Simonton Custom Windows & Doors Costs in Plantation

Simonton custom windows and doors pricing in Plantation depends on the unit type, size, glass package, and whether we’re repairing an existing unit or replacing it outright. Here’s what we typically see:

• Custom shape window (circle, half-round, trapezoid), new install: $850 to $2,400 per unit, depending on glass package and frame reinforcement needs.
• Insulated glass unit replacement on a Simonton StormBreaker Plus: $340 to $750 per sash, including new setting blocks and resealing.
• Sliding glass door roller and track rebuild: $220 to $480 per panel, depending on whether the track itself needs replacement.
• Full frame replacement of a Simonton double-hung with a custom-sized Reflections 5500 unit: $1,100 to $2,800 per window, including removal of the old frame and new trim work.
• Architectural grille or SDL upgrade on existing Simonton windows: $180 to $620 per window, depending on grille pattern and whether the IGU must be replaced to accommodate the grille profile.

What moves the price? Opening size, glass package (impact-rated glass costs more), whether the existing frame is salvageable, and how much structural re-square work is needed before the new unit can be set properly. We don’t pad estimates to cover what-ifs. We quote it straight, in writing, and if we find something we didn’t expect, we tell you before we touch it.

Why Plantation Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Simonton Work

As an independent Simonton service provider, we’re not beholden to a manufacturer’s playbook. That matters when a Simonton unit has a known weak point and the recommended fix doesn’t hold up in Plantation’s heat and humidity. We call it like we see it, and we fix it like we said we would.

Dale Kessler grew up off Broward Boulevard in Plantation, close enough to the old Plantation Fashion Mall to remember when that stretch of road was half strip plazas and half open lots. He learned glazing and fenestration at McFatter Technical College in Davie, and he’s spent the better part of two decades setting simonton windows and doors across Broward County. TruePane has been serving this community since 2008 through a heritage of craft, and we plan to be here in thirty more.

We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, and PGT. So if Simonton isn’t the right fit for your custom project, we’ll tell you that too, and we’ll show you the alternative side by side on paper. A square deal means you see the options and understand the trade-offs before you commit.

We stand behind the work. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. The Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right, no arguing. That’s the baseline for every Simonton job we do in Plantation.
