AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Fort Lauderdale
Impact windows and doors in Fort Lauderdale are not a luxury upgrade. They’re a structural requirement under the Broward County High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and they’re what separates a house that holds its roof from one that doesn’t. TruePane Windows & Doors installs, replaces, and services impact-rated windows, sliding glass doors, entry doors, and garage doors across every Fort Lauderdale neighborhood, from Coral Ridge to Tarpon River. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate from a crew that understands Fort Lauderdale building code before the truck ever leaves the shop.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Impact Company
Over years in South Florida glass and door work teaches you things no franchise training manual ever will. Our Impact Windows & Doors crews know that a canal-front home on Las Olas Isles faces different frame corrosion than a 1960s ranch off Sunrise Boulevard, and we spec the product accordingly. Fort Lauderdale customers call us because a live person answers the phone every time, day or night. Not a voicemail tree. Not a call center in another state. The same office that dispatches our uniformed technicians to Victoria Park coordinates every job from Miami, and the crew working on your house lives in South Florida.
We measure every opening twice before we quote. We put manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re paying for, whether that’s a PGT impact slider or a CGI casement. And every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That is the founding rule Dale Kessler keeps on the whiteboard, and it governs every install from Riverland to Harbor Beach.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Fort Lauderdale
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most homes in Fort Lauderdale still carry original single-pane aluminum sliders or jalousies, especially the 1950s to 1980s CBS construction that dominates Coral Ridge, Tarpon River, and Victoria Park. Those windows fail current HVHZ code outright. We replace them with NOA-rated impact units sized and fused for this specific corrosion environment. A typical whole-home replacement of 10 to 14 openings in Fort Lauderdale runs $14,000 to $28,000 depending on frame material and glass package.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal and the 165+ miles of canals eats standard aluminum frames faster than most homeowners expect. We see slider tracks so pitted they bind, and rollers that snap under the weight of a marine-grade panel. On a canal-front 1970s CBS ranch in Rio Vista, our crew replaced a wall of original jalousies and a corroded sliding glass door with marine-grade NOA-rated impact units. We hauled materials in from a staging area two blocks away because the seawall lot offered no equipment access, and we sleeved every jamb with flashing tape before installing the fusion-welded frames to stop the salt-air intrusion that caused the old aluminum to oxidize.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Front doors on Fort Lauderdale homes take more abuse than nearly anywhere in the state. Wind-driven rain, salt spray, and the constant humidity cycle warp cheaper door slabs within a few seasons. We install impact-rated entry doors and French doors with marine hardware and compression seals that hold up on waterfront properties and inland acreage alike. Expect $4,000 to $9,000 for a quality impact entry system on a standard opening.
Impact Garage Doors
Few Fort Lauderdale homes still have an original garage door, but plenty have replacements installed during the last building boom with track and bracing that would never pass current Broward County wind standards. Impact garage doors for a two-car opening in Fort Lauderdale typically run $3,200 to $6,800, including reinforced track and hurricane bracing. On acreage properties with detached garages or ADUs, county permitting adds time and documentation we handle before the first panel arrives.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We’re an authorized installer for CGI, PGT, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines. That matters in Fort Lauderdale because not every impact window sold in Florida carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We only quote product that clears the HVHZ threshold. And because we install these lines regularly across Fort Lauderdale, our service techs stock local hardware and replacement parts for faster turnaround when a roller fails or a seal delaminates.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- White crust and flaking on aluminum frames. Salt-laden humidity from the Intracoastal and the canal system accelerates oxidation on non-marine-grade frames. In waterfront neighborhoods like Las Olas Isles, we regularly see impact units installed 12 to 15 years ago that already need full frame replacement, not just new sashes.
- Fog between the panes just a few years after install. IGU seal failure is faster here than inland because the constant moisture cycle stresses the edge seal. A fogged impact window on a canal-front home is not a manufacturing defect if it was spec’d without marine-grade edge construction.
- Corroded sliding balcony doors on A1A condos. Post-Surfside SB 4-D Milestone Inspections are flagging original single-pane sliders on 1960s and 70s towers along Fort Lauderdale Beach. Many frames are so corroded from decades of ocean exposure they must be fully rebuilt rather than glazed in place.
- Non-compliant windows on acreage outbuildings. Broward County requires HVHZ NOA documentation on every opening, including detached shops, garages, and ADUs. Septic and well setbacks can also restrict where new openings are placed, which changes the scope before we even quote.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Fort Lauderdale pricing runs slightly above Florida averages because the HVHZ NOA requirement narrows the product field. You’re buying a window or door that passed Miami-Dade testing, not just a generic impact-rated panel. Here’s what we see across Fort Lauderdale:
| Service | Typical Fort Lauderdale Range |
|---|---|
| Single impact window replacement | $900 - $2,400 per opening |
| Whole-home impact window replacement (10-14 openings) | $14,000 - $28,000 |
| Impact sliding glass door | $3,800 - $9,500 |
| Impact entry or French door | $4,000 - $9,000 |
| Impact garage door (two-car) | $3,200 - $6,800 |
| Wind mitigation inspection and report | $150 - $350 |
Acreage and large-lot properties in Fort Lauderdale’s western reaches often carry county-level permitting that adds anywhere from $400 to $1,500 in fees and documentation depending on setbacks and outbuilding scope. We walk the property, measure every opening, check the permit path, and put the full number in writing before any deposit changes hands. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale sits entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, one of only two counties in the entire United States, alongside Miami-Dade, where every window and door replacement on any structure must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Standard impact-rated products sold legally throughout the rest of Florida fail to meet this threshold. A product that passes Palm Beach County code 30 miles north may not clear Broward County review. We only quote NOA-rated product for Fort Lauderdale work, and we register the documentation with the permit before installation. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll check what your current windows actually carry.
Yes. On acreage and large-lot properties in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County requires HVHZ NOA documentation on every opening, including detached ADUs, shops, and outbuildings. Septic drain field and well setbacks can restrict new door openings or window placements that would otherwise pass city review. This is where county-level permitting changes the scope before we quote. We pull the setback diagrams and check the permit path during the estimate, so you’re not paying a change order later. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free acreage assessment.
Salt-laden humidity from the Intracoastal Waterway and Fort Lauderdale’s 165+ miles of inland canals causes premature oxidation on aluminum frames that are not marine-grade. The white crust is corrosion, and it eventually compromises the frame’s structural integrity and the seal. In neighborhoods like Las Olas Isles, the Landings, and Rio Vista, we see this on impact units only 10 to 15 years old. The fix is full frame replacement with a marine-grade NOA-rated product, not a paint touch-up. Call (954) 280-4413 for an inspection.
In most Fort Lauderdale condo buildings, the balcony slider is considered a common element, not an owner responsibility. The SB 4-D Milestone Inspection that flagged the deficiency operates at the building level, and replacement is typically contracted by the association, not by individual unit owners. If you own at a building that received a deficiency notice, the association or its structural engineer will specify the replacement scope. TruePane handles bulk condo contracts along Fort Lauderdale Beach and the A1A corridor, and we work directly with associations and property managers. Call (954) 280-4413 if your board needs a walkthrough quote.
IGU seal failure on canal-front Fort Lauderdale homes usually means the original edge construction was not marine-grade. The constant salt-humidity cycle stresses the seal, and once moisture gets between the panes, the window’s insulating value and visibility are both gone. A proper replacement for waterfront locations uses marine-grade edge construction and desiccant-filled spacers rated for this exposure. The Done Right Promise covers our workmanship, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave, so if a seal fails, the paper trail is already in place. Call (954) 280-4413 and tell us what you’re seeing.
We do this work the way it should have been done the first time. A square deal, a true pane, and a phone that rings through to a person. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule your free estimate.
