AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across North Lauderdale
Window installation in North Lauderdale is rarely a simple swap-and-go job. Most homes here were built by General Development Corporation between the late 1960s and mid-1970s, and nearly all of them still carry their original aluminum single-pane windows. That means when you call us, we’re not just measuring an opening. We’re checking framing, flashing, and whether the wall cavity has been holding water for decades. TruePane Windows & Doors handles every step, from the first measurement to the final NOA-approved install, and we do it with a written price before work begins. Call (772) 577-2915 for a free estimate, and a live person will answer.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’ve spent years working the planned subdivisions that define North Lauderdale: Oriole Gardens, Winston Park, Kimberly. Our crews know these houses because they’ve opened the walls on hundreds of them. The framing style, the stucco thickness, the way original jalousie units were set into Florida room additions – it’s familiar ground for us, and that familiarity keeps the job on schedule and the quote honest.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a craftsman’s rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule still governs every install we do in North Lauderdale. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. And they register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Broward County, and we won’t pretend to be. What we offer is a square deal: upfront pricing, a Done Right Promise, and a company that plans to be here in thirty years. North Lauderdale homeowners who’ve been burned once tend to appreciate that.
Key takeaways:
- Local crews who know GDC-era CBS construction and its failure points
- Written, line-item pricing before any work starts
- Done Right Promise and both warranty layers registered in writing
- Live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Authorized installer for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and more than a dozen other lines
Our Window Installation Services in North Lauderdale
Every window we install in North Lauderdale meets Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code. That’s not an upgrade option here. It’s the law, and it’s also the only way to satisfy an insurance carrier that’s threatening non-renewal. We carry NOA-approved impact products across the lines that matter for this market, and we’ll help you choose the right one for each opening.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are the workhorse of North Lauderdale’s 1960s and 70s ranch-style homes. The original aluminum sliders installed by GDC were never impact-rated, and most have worn tracks, failed seals, and frames that oxidize fast in the humidity that sits over the city’s canal network. A typical impact-rated sliding window installation in North Lauderdale runs $900 to $2,400 per opening, depending on size and the manufacturer line you choose. PGT and ES Windows both make solid HVHZ-compliant sliders, and we’ll quote them side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are one of the strongest impact options for older North Lauderdale homes, because the sash locks into the frame at multiple points around the perimeter. That matters when a tropical storm bands sit over the city for six hours. We install casements from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and a typical casement replacement in North Lauderdale runs $950 to $2,800 per window. The hardware is mechanically simpler than a double hung, which also means fewer callbacks over the life of the window.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows are where North Lauderdale homeowners get the most glass for the money, but they’re also where original installs fail worst. The large aluminum frames GDC used on front-facing picture windows flex under wind load, and fifty years of Broward sun breaks down the sealant around the perimeter. A new impact-rated fixed window for a North Lauderdale living room typically runs $800 to $2,200, and we set every one with new flashing tape and a structural silicone seal around the jamb. No caulk-and-hope work.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are less common in North Lauderdale’s original construction than sliders, but we do see them in later renovations and in the few custom homes scattered through the city’s northwest neighborhoods. Impact-rated double hungs in North Lauderdale typically run $850 to $2,500 per opening installed. We’ll help you decide whether a double hung even makes sense for the opening – sometimes a casement does more for less money, and we’ll tell you that plainly.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and CWS. That matters in North Lauderdale because HVHZ compliance hinges on the product carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and every line we install meets that bar. We stock common replacement parts and hardware for PGT and CGI windows locally, so a warranty service call in North Lauderdale doesn’t mean waiting two weeks on a freight shipment. When we quote your job, you’ll see the manufacturer lines side by side with frame material, glass package, and warranty durations stated in writing.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Full opening replacement triggered by jalousies. Original jalousie windows in converted Florida rooms are everywhere in North Lauderdale, especially in Oriole Gardens and Kimberly. Jalousies cannot be made impact-rated, so every one of those openings requires a full tear-out and reframe, not an insert install. That’s a bigger job and a longer permit timeline than most homeowners expect. We price it honestly from the first visit.
- Corroded aluminum frames from canal-proximate humidity. North Lauderdale’s drainage canals thread through nearly every neighborhood, and the standing moisture accelerates oxidation on 50-year-old aluminum frames. By the time we open the wall, the frame is often too far gone to save, and the rough opening needs new flashing and sealant work before a new unit goes in.
- Failed waterproofing hidden behind original stucco. GDC-era construction used flashing tape that degrades badly over five decades. We regularly find moisture that has wicked into the CBS block around window jambs, and that damage is invisible until the old frame comes out. We repair it properly before the new window is set, and we show you photographs of what we found.
- Undersized framing on original jalousie openings. Jalousie windows were set into narrow, lightweight frames that were never designed to carry an impact-rated unit. Broward County code often requires structural upgrades to the rough opening before a new impact window can be installed. We write those allowances into the contract from day one, so the permit inspection doesn’t turn into a surprise bill.
Pricing for Window Installation in North Lauderdale, FL
Window installation pricing in North Lauderdale depends on three things above all: the size of the opening, whether the existing frame can be saved, and which manufacturer line you choose. A single impact-rated sliding window for a typical GDC-era home in North Lauderdale runs $900 to $2,400. A casement window runs $950 to $2,800. A full Florida room jalousie tear-out and replacement with impact-rated sliders or fixed units typically runs $6,000 to $14,000, depending on the number of openings and the framing work the code inspection requires.
We do not bid low and add change orders later. Every TruePane quote for Window Installation in North Lauderdale includes a written allowance for structural and waterproofing work we expect to find when the walls come open. If the inspector requires something beyond that allowance, you’ll see it on paper with a price, and you approve it in writing before we proceed. Call (772) 577-2915 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the house with you and tell you exactly what your windows need and what it will cost.

FAQs - Window Installation in North Lauderdale
Because the original jalousie and aluminum-frame windows General Development Corporation installed in the late 1960s and early 1970s cannot be made impact-rated, and Broward County’s HVHZ code requires impact-rated products on every replacement. A jalousie unit cannot accept an impact insert, so the entire frame must be removed, the rough opening repaired, and a new NOA-approved unit installed. That’s full opening replacement, and it’s the single biggest reason North Lauderdale window quotes run higher than homeowners expect. Call (772) 577-2915 and we’ll measure your openings and tell you which ones need full replacement and which can take inserts – no guesswork.
Yes, in most cases. Florida carriers are non-renewing and dramatically surcharging Broward homes with non-impact rated windows, and many will not write a new policy on a house with original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows. Once the openings carry NOA-approved impact products, the carrier typically confirms the upgrade, ends the non-renewal threat, and the wind mitigation credit shows up on the premium at the next renewal. We’ve done this for homeowners in Oriole Gardens and Winston Park whose carriers confirmed the upgrade the same week we finished. Call (772) 577-2915 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll help you document the install for your insurer.
We find three things most often: failed flashing tape that has let moisture into the concrete block, corroded aluminum frames that have degraded past the point of repair, and rough openings that are undersized for the impact-rated window the code requires. Sometimes the framing around an original jalousie needs structural reinforcement before a new unit can be set. We photograph everything, show you the condition of the wall cavity, and price the repairs in writing before we proceed. You’ll never get a surprise bill from us. Call (772) 577-2915 for an exact quote.
Yes, casement windows are one of the strongest impact options for GDC-era North Lauderdale homes because the sash locks into the frame at multiple points around the perimeter. We install casements from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and all of them carry the Miami-Dade NOA approval Broward County requires. In Oriole Gardens, we recently replaced a jalousie opening with an NOA-approved casement from ES Windows, and the homeowner’s carrier confirmed the upgrade satisfied HVHZ requirements. Call (772) 577-2915 and ask us to quote your casement options side by side on paper.
We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and write the anticipated code upgrades into your contract before work starts, with a stated dollar allowance for structural work the inspector may require. That’s how we handle every North Lauderdale job. If the rough opening needs reinforcement, if the flashing has to be replaced down to the block, if the inspector calls for a jamb upgrade, the line item is already in your contract with a price. You approve any variation in writing before we touch it. Call (772) 577-2915 to schedule your free estimate and see how we price the whole opening, not just the window.
