AfterTrusted Impact Windows for Plantation Homeowners
Impact windows in Plantation, FL are laminated glass units built to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris without shattering. A proper impact window system typically costs $900-$2,400 per opening installed, depending on size, frame material, and manufacturer. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed and serviced impact windows for Plantation homeowners since 2008, and we stand behind every install with The Keystone Standard and our Done Right Promise. Call (772) 577-2915 and a live person answers, day or night.
Plantation sits squarely in Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The building code here does not make suggestions. It sets requirements that exist because Andrew, Wilma, and Irma rewrote what “storm ready” means. Homeowners who have lived through a breach know the difference between a window that holds and one that becomes a missile. We install the former and replace the latter.
Key Takeaways
- Impact windows in Plantation typically run $900-$2,400 per opening installed, with frame material and size driving the spread.
- Most single-opening impact window installs are completed same-day once the custom unit arrives from the manufacturer.
- Every TruePane job includes The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
- We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and more than a dozen other lines, so you get side-by-side quotes on paper, not a sales pitch.
- A live person answers the phone 24/7 at (772) 577-2915. No voicemail tree. No callback form. No regional call center.
What Our Impact Windows Service Includes
Impact windows are not one product. They are a category, and the right choice depends on the elevation of your home, the size of your openings, the condition of your existing frames, and whether you are hardening a single room or the whole house. We quote the job both ways: what the code requires and what we would put in our own mother’s house. Those are not always the same number, and you deserve to see both.
Impact Window Installation
Installation is where impact windows succeed or fail, and we treat it as the craft it is. Every opening gets measured twice before an order is placed, and the frame is checked for square before the new unit is set. We install to the manufacturer’s published requirements and the Florida Building Code, no shortcutting the attachment screws and no skipping the sealant bead. When we are finished, the window is plumb, true, and registered for warranty before we leave.
Impact Window Replacement
If your existing impact windows are fogged, binding, or showing seal failure, replacement may be the only honest fix. We remove the old unit without tearing up the surrounding stucco or interior trim, then set the new window in the same opening. Because we are authorized across more than a dozen manufacturer lines including PGT and CGI, we can match the existing aesthetic or upgrade it, whichever serves you better. The old unit gets hauled away. The new one gets registered in writing.
Impact-Rated Window Repair
Not every problem requires a new window. Rollers bind, balances wear out, and laminated glass can develop edge clouding without losing its structural rating. TruePane repairs what can be repaired and tells you straight when replacement is the only honest option. We stock replacement hardware for the major impact window lines, and our technicians carry common parts on the truck. If it can be fixed, we fix it the same visit.
Impact Door and Sidelight Installation
A front door with square glass panels is only as strong as the glass in those panels. We install impact-rated entry doors, French doors, and sliding glass doors throughout Plantation, including the sidelight assemblies that flank many front entries built in the 1970s and 1980s. Those older sidelights are often single-pane and are the first thing a storm finds. We replace them with impact-rated units that match the door and meet current code.
Hurricane Opening Protection Assessment
For homeowners who do not want to replace every window at once, we assess which openings are most vulnerable and recommend a phased plan. We walk the property with you, identify what meets code and what does not, and write down what we find. The assessment is free, and it comes with a written list of priorities you keep whether or not you hire us.
Custom Impact Windows
Plantation’s older neighborhoods include plenty of arched windows, radius openings, and odd-sized bays that stock units will never fit. TruePane orders custom impact windows sized to the opening from manufacturers that build to shop drawings, not a catalog. The lead time is longer, the install is no different, and the result beats the alternatives: plywood, shutters, or living with a hole waiting to become a liability.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows
We install and service PGT and CGI impact windows, two of the most common lines in Broward County, and we know both product lines the way a mechanic knows a specific engine family. PGT’s WinGuard and CGI’s Sentinel series both carry Miami-Dade NOA approvals, but they set differently, shim differently, and their warranty registration processes differ. We handle both the way the manufacturer specifies, because a window that is set wrong is a warranty that is worth nothing.
We also work with ES Windows, Mr-Glass, ECO Window Systems. If you have an existing impact system from one of these manufacturers, we can service it, repair it, or match it for an addition. If you are starting fresh, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with prices, lead times, and warranty durations written out so you can see exactly what you are buying. Bring us any make, any age, any condition. We will tell you what you have and what it is worth.
Signs You Need Impact Windows Right Now
- Your windows are original to the house. If your Plantation home was built before the 1994 South Florida Building Code took effect, your windows were not rated for today’s wind loads. That means they are the weakest point in your exterior envelope, and any breach becomes a pressure bomb in the house. Replacing them before the next named storm is cheaper than the emergency board-up after it.
- The glass is single-pane and you can feel heat through it. Single-pane windows in Plantation transfer heat like a screen door. If standing next to the glass in August feels like standing next to an oven, you are paying for a window that is doing neither job: not protecting from storms and not insulating from heat. Impact windows do both.
- Your insurer is charging you the full windstorm rate. Florida insurers offer substantial premium reductions for homes with verified impact-rated openings. If your policy has not been adjusted because you have not upgraded, you are leaving real money on the table every renewal cycle. We provide the documentation your agent needs after every install.
- You still rely on shutters or plywood. Shutters work only if you are home to put them up, have time to put them up, and are physically able to put them up. Plywood works only if you bought it, cut it, and stored it before the storm. Impact windows work by simply existing. For homeowners planning to age in place, that distinction matters more with every passing year.
- You hear noise from Jacaranda Golf Club or Broward Boulevard traffic. Improved acoustic insulation is an overlooked benefit of impact-rated laminated glass. If you hear the traffic on Sunrise Boulevard or the perpetual construction on University Drive inside your bedroom, laminated impact glass will reduce that noise meaningfully. Same insurance credit, same storm protection, quieter house.
Our Impact Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (772) 577-2915 and a live person answers, whatever the hour. We ask what you are dealing with, we ask about your home, and we schedule a free in-home consultation at a time that works for you. No forms to fill out first. No call center screen between you and us.
- 2
We measure and assess on site. A background-checked, uniformed technician walks the property with you, measures every opening twice, checks for square, and notes what the existing installation looks like. We evaluate the openings, the elevations, and the home’s exposure so the recommendation is specific to your house, not a generic product pitch.
- 3
You get a written, side-by-side quote. We bring the numbers on paper. Manufacturer, series, glass package, frame finish, price per opening, lead time, and both warranty layers with durations stated in writing. We do not quote over the phone and we do not change the number once work starts unless you change the scope. When we say a square deal, we mean the math is on the page.
- 4
We install to the standard, not the clock. Our crew sets every unit to the manufacturer’s specification and Florida code, with the fasteners, sealants, and shims the job requires. We work clean, we protect your floors, and we leave the work area tidier than we found it. Supervisors check square and true on every opening before the crew packs the truck.
- 5
Warranty registration before departure. Before the truck leaves your driveway, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, and hand you the documents. That is The Keystone Standard, and we do not consider the job complete until the paperwork is in your hand. You are covered by our Done Right Promise from that moment.
How Much Does Impact Windows Cost in Plantation?
A typical impact window in Plantation runs $900 to $2,400 per opening installed. A standard 36-inch by 60-inch single-hung with a vinyl frame lands on the lower end of that range from a mid-line manufacturer. A large fixed picture window or a custom-radius unit with an aluminum frame and a premium glass package lands on the higher end. Entry door and French door replacements run higher because the assembly carries both glass rating and structural door rating. Most Plantation homes we see have 10 to 18 openings, so full-home hardening typically falls between $12,000 and $35,000, with the spread driven by size, frame choice, and manufacturer.
What drives the price: the linear feet of glass, the frame material (vinyl is typically less expensive than aluminum, which is less expensive than impact-rated wood-clad), the design pressure rating required for your home’s specific elevation, and whether the existing frames can be reused or must be rebuilt. What should not drive the price: a salesperson’s commission, a “limited time” discount, or a vague change-order clause in the contract. We do not do those things. We quote the work, we write down the number, and that number holds.
The free estimate includes a written line-item quote you keep whether or not you move forward. It includes the specific manufacturer, series, and glass package we are recommending, plus the warranty terms. You can compare it against any other bid. We want you to, because the comparison is how homeowners find out who is doing honest work. Call (772) 577-2915 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows in Plantation
Impact windows are windows built with laminated glass bonded to a special interlayer so the glass stays intact when struck by flying debris during a hurricane. The frame is reinforced and the whole assembly is tested to meet Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code design pressure requirements. In Plantation, which sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, impact windows are the code-compliant replacement for window shutters or plywood. Most systems also carry significant energy efficiency and noise reduction benefits.
Most single-opening impact window replacements are completed in one day, including removal of the old unit and warranty registration. Full-home installs typically take two to five working days depending on the number of openings and the condition of the surrounding framing. Custom-size units from manufacturers like PGT and CGI generally run four to eight weeks from order to arrival. We schedule the install only after the units are physically in our Plantation shop, so you never get left with open holes and a promise.
Plan on $900 to $2,400 per opening installed, which includes the window, the labor, the removal of the old unit, and registration of both manufacturer warranty layers. Your exact number depends on the size of the opening, the frame material, the design pressure rating required for your elevation, and the manufacturer. A free estimate from TruePane gives you a written, line-item quote with none of that left to guesswork. Call (772) 577-2915 and we will write down the number for your specific house.
Yes. We are an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two most common impact window lines in Broward County. We can walk you through both brand-new, we repair rollers, balances, and seals on existing units, and we can match an existing PGT or CGI unit for an addition or remodel. If you have one of these lines and another company told you it had to come from the factory, call us for a second opinion. Often it does not.
We do not offer same-day emergency board-up service for storm preparation. What we do offer is a live person on the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can reach us the moment you know you need help, whether that is a crack before a storm or damage after one. If a window is breached or cracked, we will get you scheduled as quickly as humanly possible with the manufacturer’s lead time being the only floor. In the meantime, we will tell you exactly how to temporarily protect the opening so your family stays safe.
You get two warranty layers, and we put both in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. The manufacturer’s warranty covers the glass and frame per the terms of the specific product line, typically 10 years to lifetime depending on the series. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship: if the install was not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no fine-print loophole. That is The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every window we set.
Clear the area inside and outside each window by about three feet so the crew can work safely. Move any furniture, plants, or wall hangings that sit close to the opening, and make sure we can access both sides of the window. If you have an alarm system with window contacts, let us know before we start so we can coordinate with your security provider. We bring drop cloths, we protect the floors, and we clean up when we are done. The less you have to move, the faster the day goes.
