Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across North Lauderdale
If you own a home in North Lauderdale, chances are it was built by General Development Corporation sometime between 1968 and 1975. That means your windows are likely original aluminum single-pane units that are now over 50 years old and no longer meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. TruePane Windows & Doors handles Custom Windows & Doors replacements for North Lauderdale homeowners every week, and we know exactly what your opening requires before we ever write the quote. Call (772) 577-2915 and a live person answers, not a voicemail tree.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every install we run in North Lauderdale, from a single casement replacement off Kimberly Boulevard to a full-home impact package in Oriole Gardens. We have spent years working the planned subdivisions that make up this city, so we understand what a 1972 CBS ranch on a canal lot needs versus a 1969 low-rise unit in Winston Park, and our Impact Windows & Doors - North Lauderdale service covers every situation.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, write both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and register them the same day. North Lauderdale Window Replacement customers have learned to ask for that paperwork because their insurance carriers are asking first. We stand behind every install with a Done Right Promise, and we do not argue about callbacks. We just fix it.
Dale built TruePane to be the kind of company that still picks up the phone in thirty years. That is why a live person answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a callback form. Not a regional call center. A person who knows North Lauderdale and can schedule your free estimate for a time that works.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in North Lauderdale
North Lauderdale presents a specific set of window and door conditions because of its housing stock age and HVHZ requirements. Here is where our work concentrates.
Custom Shape Windows
GDC-built homes throughout North Lauderdale often have fixed accent windows above sliding glass doors or in entry walls: rectangles, half-rounds, and trapezoids that were never impact-rated. When insurers non-renew a policy, those odd shapes become the sticking point. We fabricate custom shape windows with NOA-approved laminated glass and frames sized to the exact rough opening, so you do not have to reframe the wall or close off the window. In Oriole Gardens and Winston Park, we have matched radius-top gables on dozens of the original ranch elevations.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites and true architectural grilles let a new impact window keep the mid-century look of your North Lauderdale home. Many homeowners in Kimberly and along Southgate Boulevard do not want a modern picture window; they want the same sightlines their house had in 1973, just with wind-load ratings that satisfy underwriters. We quote SDL patterns side by side on paper so you see exactly which grid profile you are buying before the order goes in.

Oversized Glass Panels
Florida rooms converted into living space are common across North Lauderdale, and many of those rooms have wide openings that original jalousie windows spanned. Replacing a louvered wall with a single oversized impact-rated panel is a significant structural job. It requires laminated glass, a heavier frame, and often a reinforced header. Our crew plans for that on the first visit. We do not discover it mid-job and hand you a change order.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
North Lauderdale’s commercial strips along State Road 7 and McNab Road have aging aluminum storefronts with fogged glass and failing hardware. We reglaze storefronts with code-compliant impact glass and handle North Lauderdale Door Installation for doors that no longer close square. For property owners dealing with insurance requirements on commercial policies, we provide the same written warranty registration we give residential customers.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for North Lauderdale’s HVHZ requirements we most often quote, PGT, and ES Windows. Each of those manufacturers produces NOA-approved impact products that meet Broward County code, and each has a different price point and lead time. Because we do not push a single brand, you get side-by-side quotes on paper. We also keep common parts and hardware stocked for faster turnaround on repair jobs, which matters when your carrier has given you a non-renewal deadline.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
After years of working North Lauderdale’s GDC-built subdivisions, we see the same issues repeat. Here are the four most common.
- Original jalousie windows in Florida rooms. In Oriole Gardens and Kimberly, we regularly pull out louvered glass that cannot legally be made impact-rated. Every one of those jobs requires a full opening replacement and a new permit, not an insert. Cheap quotes often miss this until the work is underway.
- Corroded aluminum frames on canal-adjacent lots. North Lauderdale’s drainage canals raise ambient humidity around certain streets. Frames that look fine from the inside are often oxidized through at the sill. A retrofit install over a corroded frame will fail within a season or two, and the new window warranty will not cover it. We check the frame condition before we quote.
- Non-rated glass sold as hurricane protection. Some homeowners along Tam O’Shanter Boulevard have been sold “impact” glass that does not carry a Miami-Dade NOA number. Final inspection fails, the insurance discount is denied, and the homeowner is out the money. We only quote products with current NOA approval, and we put the approval numbers in writing.
- Single-pane sliders with blown seals on original GDC homes. Fogged double-pane units are less common than failed single-pane sliders; the real problem is that the old aluminum frame has twisted over five decades. You cannot just drop a new sash into a twisted frame. The opening needs to be squared and sometimes re-squared at the header.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in North Lauderdale, FL
A typical NOA-approved impact casement window for a North Lauderdale CBS home runs $850 to $1,400 per opening including new framing, flashing, and finish trim. Custom shape windows, depending on radius and size, run $1,200 to $2,600 per unit. A full Florida room jalousie replacement with impact-rated casements and mitered frames typically lands between $6,500 and $14,000 for the room, depending on how many openings and whether a header needs reinforcement. Oversized glass panels start around $2,800 and climb with square footage and structural work. Every quote includes the permit, the NOA documentation, and both warranty layers registered in writing.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in North Lauderdale
Yes. Jalousie and louvered windows cannot be made impact-rated, so replacing them requires removing the entire existing frame, reframing the rough opening for a modern impact unit, and pulling a new Broward County HVHZ permit. You cannot do an insert replacement on these openings. A contractor who quotes an insert on jalousies is quoting work that will not pass inspection. Call (772) 577-2915 and we will tell you upfront what your specific opening requires, and the estimate is free.
We install Andersen, PGT, and ES Windows most often for North Lauderdale homes, and all three carry current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approvals for Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. We are also an authorized installer for more than a dozen other lines, including, and CGI. We quote side by side on paper so you see the price difference and the approval documentation for each before you choose.
Yes. After your impact windows and doors are installed, we provide you with the NOA approval documents, the permit sign-off from the Broward County inspection, and both manufacturer warranty registrations in writing. Your insurance carrier or agent can use those documents to verify compliance and apply any available premium credits. If you are working against a non-renewal deadline, call (772) 577-2915 as soon as you have the letter. We will schedule a measure and get your quote together quickly.
If the frame is sound and you are only replacing the insulated glass unit, that is typically classified as a glass-only repair and may not require a permit. However, if you are replacing the entire window, including the frame, or changing the opening size, a permit is required under Broward County code. We will tell you which category your job falls into at the free estimate. Do not let anyone tell you a full window swap is “just a repair”; that is how you end up with an unpermitted install your insurer will not recognize.
If your home was built by GDC in the late 1960s or early 1970s and still has original aluminum single-pane windows, they do not meet current code. North Lauderdale sits in Broward County’s HVHZ, which requires NOA-approved impact products on every replacement. Original single-pane units were never impact-rated and cannot earn an NOA retroactively. We will verify this at your free estimate and show you exactly what compliant replacement looks like for your specific openings. Call (772) 577-2915 to schedule.
If you are in North Lauderdale and your windows are 50 years old, your insurance carrier has likely already noticed. Whether you are in Oriole Gardens, Winston Park, Kimberly, or along Southgate Boulevard, TruePane can get your home compliant with the right NOA-approved impact windows and doors. Call (772) 577-2915 for a free estimate. A live person answers, and we will measure every opening twice.
