AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lighthouse Point
Window replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $900-$4,800 per unit depending on impact rating, frame material, and whether the existing opening is standard or needs structural work. Most full-frame impact installations on canal-front homes land between $2,200 and $3,800 per window, with the permitting and NOA documentation already factored into the written quote. We’ve served Lighthouse Point long enough to know that a quick jalousie swap rarely stays quick once the corroded buck behind it comes into view. If you’re pricing the job, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll give you real numbers, not a callback form.
TruePane Windows & Doors works on the homes that line the canals, the stretch along Sample Road, and the shaded streets off Lighthouse Drive. We know the housing stock here: 1950s and 1960s concrete block ranches where the original aluminum frames have been fighting salt air since before impact codes existed. Our crews replace, rebuild, and properly flash windows throughout Lighthouse Point, and we measure every opening twice before ordering a single frame. That’s a square deal with the price in writing before any manufacturer line gets ordered.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Our customers in Lighthouse Point don’t shop for the cheapest bid. They shop for the last window company they’ll ever need to call. We’ve built a local reputation on showing up with a written line-item quote, registering both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway, and standing behind the work with our Done Right Promise. No paperwork fights, no arguing about which warranty covers what. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the founding rule Dale Kessler keeps on the board, and it governs every install we do in this city.
We’re not a franchise with a rotating cast of subcontractors. TruePane hires local, trains apprentices into journeymen, and sends background-checked, uniformed technicians to Lighthouse Point jobs. Our crews know what the inspector on an HVHZ permit will look for, because they’ve sat across from those inspectors dozens of times on canal-front properties. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (954) 280-4413 at any hour and you’ll talk to someone who works here, not a call center two states away.
When a Lighthouse Point homeowner asks for a reference, they want to know whether we’ll still be here in ten years. We were founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and we carry over four decades of craft tradition through the company. We sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we plan to be in town in thirty years, not three. That matters when the warranty you’re buying is only as good as the company that shows up to honor it.
Our Window Replacement Services in Lighthouse Point
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means the entire old window comes out, down to the rough opening, and a new window goes in with new framing, flashing, and trim. In Lighthouse Point, this is the common-sense route for homes still carrying original 1950s and 1960s jalousie or single-track sliders. After decades of canal-side salt spray, the aluminum frames are often pitted beyond re-tracking, and the rough opening itself usually needs the buck rebuilt or squared before the inspector will approve. We do the structural prep, set the new impact-rated unit, and flash it with marine-grade material rated for direct salt exposure. A typical full frame replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $2,200-$3,800 per opening, with custom sizing on mid-century rough openings adding to the total.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement fits a new window inside the existing frame when that frame is still sound and square. It costs less, moves faster, and preserves the original trim work many Lighthouse Point homeowners want to keep. But on canal-front homes, the decision turns on what we find when we pull the sash. If the existing aluminum buck is corroded or out of square, an insert simply won’t seal properly, and the inspector will reject it. We’ll tell you honestly before any order is placed whether an insert is right or a full frame is required. Insert replacements in Lighthouse Point typically range from $900-$2,100 per window for compliant impact units.
Storm and Impact-Rated Window Replacement
Lighthouse Point sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window must carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approval. It’s not an upgrade here; it’s the baseline requirement. We specify impact-rated lines from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Homeowners along the canal streets who assumed a straightforward swap are often surprised to learn the permit process requires full NOA documentation on every unit. We handle that paperwork as part of the job, and the written quote covers it. Impact window replacement in Lighthouse Point generally runs $1,800-$4,800 per opening depending on size and product line.
Energy-Efficient Window Upgrade
A well-sealed impact window does double duty on a Lighthouse Point ranch: it blocks wind-borne debris and cuts the constant heat gain that runs the air conditioning nine months a year. Thin-profile original jalousies leak conditioned air through every seam and offer almost no thermal break. When we replace them with insulated impact glazing, homeowners typically see the difference in the first full electric bill. Low-E coatings and argon-filled double panes are standard on the impact lines we install, not optional add-ons. Energy-efficient replacements in Lighthouse Point run $1,400-$3,600 per window depending on frame material and glass package.
Historic Window Restoration
A few Lighthouse Point homes still hold original wood or steel window frames worth preserving rather than replacing. We restore those frames, re-bed the glass, replace worn hardware, and bring the opening up to current code where feasible. Not every window should be ripped out. Some should be rebuilt. We’ll tell you which is which after we look at the frame, not before.

We show you the numbers and let the specs speak. Window Replacement done by our team includes both warranty layers registered before we leave the driveway.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on non-marine-grade aluminum frames. We regularly see frames pitted and flaking within eight to twelve years of installation on canal streets, where salt spray reaches every surface. Original jalousie frames from the 1960s are often corroded at the weep holes and corners to the point that the sash no longer seats.
- Rusted or out-of-square window bucks behind original openings. On a canal-front street off Lighthouse Drive, we pulled a 1960s jalousie from its concrete block opening and found the aluminum buck so corroded and out of square that the inspector would not sign off until we rebuilt it. That turned a quoted single-day insert replacement into a two-day structural prep before we could set the new impact-rated Marvin casement with marine-grade flashing tape. It’s a common story in this city, and it’s why our quotes are built around what we find, not what we guess.
- Generic windows specified without NOA approval. We see this too often: a homeowner gets a low bid from an out-of-town crew using windows that lack Miami-Dade NOA approval, and the permit gets rejected on first submittal. Then the homeowner pays twice. Every window we quote for Lighthouse Point is specified for HVHZ compliance from the first line item.
- Mid-century rough openings that don’t match modern window sizes. The concrete block ranches here were framed for jalousies and narrow sliders. Modern impact windows come in standard widths, and those widths rarely line up with a 1962 rough opening. We handle custom sizing and buck replacement as part of the quote, so the schedule doesn’t slip after the old window is out.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point, FL
Window replacement in Lighthouse Point is priced by the unit, not by the square foot of glass. Insert replacements on standard openings run $900-$2,100 per window. Full frame impact replacements on canal-front openings run $2,200-$3,800 per window. Custom-sized impact units for mid-century rough openings run $1,800-$4,800 each depending on manufacturer line and glass package. Storm window replacement and energy-efficient upgrades fall within those same bands. What moves the number: whether the existing buck can stay, whether the rough opening is square, which impact line you pick, and how many units you replace at once. The quote is fixed in writing before we order any manufacturer line. No surprise line items after the fact. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate with real numbers, not a range pulled off a website.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point
Salt-air corrosion on non-marine-grade aluminum frames and hardware shows up within eight to twelve years on canal-front properties because the dense waterway grid carries salt spray deep into interior streets, far beyond what inland Broward homes experience. Standard aluminum extrusions and multi-point door hardware simply weren’t built for that environment. We specify marine-grade flashing tape and corrosion-resistant frame materials on every canal-side job, and we stock the replacement hardware locally so repairs don’t require a second manufacturer order. Call (954) 280-4413 if your frames are pitting and you want a straight answer on whether they can be saved.
You can reuse the existing buck only if it’s still square, structurally sound, and free of corrosion that would prevent a proper seal. On many mid-century Lighthouse Point homes, the original buck behind a jalousie or single-track slider is corroded or out of square after fifty years of canal-side exposure, and the inspector will not approve an insert on it. We inspect the opening before quoting, and we’ll tell you plainly whether a full frame is required or an insert will pass. The decision drives the permit, not the other way around.
Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approval is the minimum standard for any replacement window permitted in Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers all of Lighthouse Point. Without NOA documentation, your permit won’t pass review, and the windows you paid for won’t be legal. Every impact line we quote for this city carries NOA approval, and we include the documentation in the permit package we submit. It’s not an upsell. It’s the code.
We measure every opening twice, then quote custom-sizing or buck rebuild work as a line item before any manufacturer line is ordered. Most Lighthouse Point ranches built in the 1950s through 1970s have rough openings sized for jalousies and narrow sliders, which don’t match modern impact window dimensions. Custom sizing avoids gaps that leak air and water, and it keeps the inspector from rejecting the install. The written quote covers it, so the schedule and the price stay where we set them. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate and we’ll measure your openings the right way.
Because once the order goes to the manufacturer, the price is locked for us and should be locked for you. We put the quote in writing with line-item pricing for materials, labor, permit, and any structural prep work, and we don’t add change orders after the fact. If the site turns up a corroded buck or an out-of-square opening, we cover it in the original quote because we inspected before we wrote it. Fixed pricing in writing is a square deal. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll put yours on paper before any window gets ordered.
