AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Sunrise
Custom window and door work in Sunrise runs anywhere from $900 for a single architectural grille retrofit on a standard opening to $18,000+ for a full condominium upgrade with impact-rated casements and a new sliding door. Most Sunrise homeowners we quote fall between $2,400 and $7,800 depending on size, product line, and whether the job sits inside a Sunrise Lakes HOA with a dual approval path. We’ve done this work across Sunrise for years, and we know the two-gate process better than most because we’ve sat in the permit office and the association reviews. Call (772) 577-2915 when you’re ready for a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Sunrise is not a simple single-family-home city. It’s one of the densest concentrations of 1970s condo stock in Broward County, and the custom window work here reflects that. We schedule around Broward County Building Division timelines and HOA architectural boards, not around a generic install calendar. If you’ve been told your jalousie windows are non-compliant, that’s true, and we’ll explain exactly what replacement means for your unit.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We didn’t parachute into Sunrise. We’ve worked the Sunrise Lakes phases, the townhome clusters off Nob Hill Road, and the older single-family tracts near Flamingo Road long enough to know which buildings have original aluminum frames and which had partial retrofits in the 1990s. That history matters when you’re quoting custom work, because a building that had a retrofit twenty years ago often has mismatched openings that require field measuring, not a catalog order.
Our Custom Windows & Doors crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work inside occupied condos where the neighbor’s wall is six inches away. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not a slogan. It’s the way we set frames, shim jambs, and register warranties in Sunrise.
The Done Right Promise applies here the same as anywhere else we work. If something isn’t right, we fix it. No paperwork tug-of-war, no arguing about whether you misread the contract. And The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your Sunrise parking lot.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Sunrise
Sunrise has a specific mix of housing stock that shapes what we actually do day to day. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Custom Shape Windows
Sunrise Lakes condos and the older townhome communities along Oakland Park Boulevard frequently have eyebrow windows, half-rounds, angled trapezoids, and octagon openings that were custom-ordered in 1974 and never touched again. Replacing one of these in Sunrise means templating the actual opening, not trusting the original blueprint, because concrete block settles and nothing from that era is square anymore. We cut and order to the measured opening, with Miami-Dade NOA documentation on the glazing package that Broward County actually checks.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated Divided Lites (SDLs) are the frame-and-grille pattern that condos in Sunrise Lakes Phase II and Phase III use to keep a uniform look across every unit. If your association requires a specific grille profile, we match it at the manufacturer level, not with an aftermarket stick-on. This is one of the areas where the dual approval process actually works in your favor, because once the board has your style on file, subsequent units in the same building move faster.
Impact-Rated Glazing
Every permitted Impact Windows & Doors in Sunrise job must meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. That’s not a preference, it’s the law, and it carries a stricter product approval standard than nearly anywhere else in the country. PGT, CGI, and ES Windows all make impact-rated custom products with Miami-Dade NOA documentation. We quote these side by side on paper so you see what you’re buying and why the price differs.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Sunrise has a real commercial corridor along University Drive and Sunrise Boulevard, with storefronts, medical offices, and small retail bays that still have original single-pane aluminum framing. Storefront glazing in Sunrise is often a code compliance issue at point of sale or lease renewal. We handle storefront replacement, curtain wall sections, and oversized glass panels for these properties, and we schedule around business hours so you’re not losing a day of revenue.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Sunrise that most commonly means PGT and CGI for impact-rated condo work and ES Windows for larger custom and architectural builds. We order direct from the manufacturer, register both warranty layers in writing, and keep the paperwork organized specifically for Broward County permit review. That matters when the building inspector asks for your NOA documentation and the association wants to see the frame spec sheet.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Fogged dual-pane units from the 1970s and 1980s. Seal failure and missing argon are the most common issues in Sunrise Lakes and the condos along Pine Island Road. Condo documents there typically make the unit owner responsible for windows, not the association, so we quote one-unit replacements constantly.
- Jalousie windows that cannot be permitted today. Original aluminum jalousies in Sunrise predate HVHZ code and won’t pass any current inspection. We remove and replace them with impact-rated casements or fixed glass, and we handle the NOA paperwork as part of the job.
- HOA stall-outs from missing architectural approval. We see jobs die because a contractor pulled the Broward County permit but never filed with the condo association’s architectural review board. The board stops work until the frame color and style are approved, and the owner is left with a boarded opening during the worst months to have one.
- Mismatched frame retrofits from the 1990s. Some Sunrise buildings had partial window replacement back then, and now the openings have mixed frame depths. If you measure one window and assume the rest match, you’ll order wrong. We field-measure every opening individually.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Sunrise, FL
Here’s what we’re actually quoting in Sunrise right now. A single custom-shaped window with impact glass and Miami-Dade NOA runs $1,200 to $3,400 installed, depending on opening size and frame material. Architectural grilles or SDL patterns add $40 to $110 per opening, with the higher end reflecting true divided lite profiles on large fixed glass. A full Sunrise Lakes condo replacement, typically involving two to four windows and a sliding door, lands between $5,500 and $14,000. Storefront glazing on University Drive runs $60 to $120 per square foot for aluminum commercial systems.
What changes the price in Sunrise specifically is the two-stage approval. Broward County permit fees are set by valuation, and the HOA architectural review adds time but not money unless the board requires a specific frame color that puts you into a custom order. We submit both applications at the same time and build the lag into the schedule, so you’re not paying a crew to stand idle. Call (772) 577-2915 for a written line-item quote. The estimate is free, and we do not change the price once the work is scoped unless you change the scope.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Yes, for any Sunrise Lakes phase or similar Sunrise condo community, you need two separate approvals before installation. Broward County Building Division issues the permit based on product approval documentation, and your condo association’s architectural review board must separately approve the frame color and style to maintain community uniformity. Skipping the HOA step means the job stops, the opening stays boarded, and you eat the delay. We file both applications simultaneously and build the review time into the schedule. Call (772) 577-2915 and we’ll walk you through the exact sequence for your building.
Every custom window and door installed under permit in Sunrise must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Florida Product Approval, because the city sits fully inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone under the Florida Building Code. A generic hurricane-rated product without the NOA gets rejected on permit review outright. If a contractor quotes you non-impact or claims the NOA doesn’t matter, walk away. We quote PGT, CGI, and ES Windows products with the documentation attached, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your Sunrise driveway.
Fog between dual-pane glass means the seal has failed, the argon or krypton gas has leaked out, and the insulating function is effectively gone. In Sunrise, the original single-pane jalousie and early dual-pane units from the 1970s are hitting the end of that seal life all at once, which is why we replace so many in Sunrise Lakes. The fix is a full replacement with a modern impact-rated insulated glass unit that carries a Miami-Dade NOA. Call (772) 577-2915 for an exact quote on your unit, and we’ll tell you whether you’re dealing with one failed pane or a pattern across the whole wall.
Yes. Half-rounds, trapezoids, angled tops, and other custom shapes in Sunrise can be built with impact-rated laminated glass and Miami-Dade NOA certification. The manufacturer templates the actual opening because concrete block from the 1970s is never perfectly square, and the NOA approval covers the glazing package and the frame. We’ve done dozens of these in Sunrise Lakes and the townhome communities off Nob Hill Road. Call (772) 577-2915 with the rough dimensions and we’ll give you a real number.
The county permit and HOA approval add time and a modest amount of cost, not a mystery surcharge. Broward County permit fees run on a valuation schedule, and the association’s architectural review is usually a fixed filing fee. What changes the price more is the product: an impact-rated custom window with NOA will cost more than a non-impact unit every time, and that’s not negotiable under Sunrise code. We don’t pad the quote for the paperwork. We show you the permit line, the HOA line, and the product line separately, so you know what you’re paying for. Free estimate: (772) 577-2915.
