Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Weston
Window replacement in Weston runs between $800 and $2,900 per opening for most homes, with full-frame impact-rated units on the higher end and insert replacements on the lower. The bigger variable in Weston is not the window itself, it’s the approval path: Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) impact mandate plus your HOA’s architectural review board, which can prescribe exact frame colors, grid patterns, and hardware. We handle both layers before the first screw comes out. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate and we’ll walk the whole thing through in writing.
TruePane has worked the villages of Weston long enough to know that out here, a window is never just a window. It has to match the Arvida-era spec, it has to pass HVHZ testing, and it has to look like it was always there. That’s the job. We show up in uniform, measure every opening twice, and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Window Replacement is what we do, and in Weston we do it with both permitting layers handled before the truck leaves the driveway.
Key Takeaways:
- Weston window replacement costs $800-$2,900 per opening depending on frame type, glass package, and HOA spec.
- Every replacement must clear both Broward County HVHZ impact certification and your community’s architectural review board.
- We prepare and file the HOA architectural submittal packet before pulling the county permit, so no stop-work orders.
- Dale Kessler runs TruePane on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Weston’s Dual Approval Problem, Solved
Weston is the only Broward municipality where Arvida-era HOA architectural committees enforce exact frame profile, color, and grid pattern matches on window replacements, creating a dual permitting choke point with the county’s HVHZ impact testing mandate. Here is what that means on the ground: you can buy a perfectly good impact window with a Miami-Dade NOA, and your HOA will still reject it because the frame profile is two millimeters shallower than the original bronze extrusion or because the grids are four-over-four instead of six-over-six. Contractors who skip the HOA step and pull the county permit first routinely get stop-work orders in communities like Weston Hills and The Ridges, then eat the cost of re-orders for compliant finishes.
We file it the other way. The architectural submittal packet goes in first, with manufacturer profile drawings, exact color codes, and grid pattern specs matched to your community’s Arvida-era original. Written HOA approval lands on our desk. Then we pull the Broward County permit with that approval attached. No stop-work orders, no fines, no windows sitting on your driveway waiting for a committee that meets once a month.
In Weston Hills we replaced eleven failing aluminum single-hungs whose insulated glass units showed advanced seal failure, fogging and lost argon, with fusion-welded impact-rated double-hungs in the original bronze finish. Our tech submitted the HOA architectural packet with Arvida profile drawings, got written approval before pulling the Broward permit, and finished the full-frame swap without a single stop-work order. That is how it should go every time.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Weston’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We are not a franchise truck from a regional call center. TruePane was founded by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who started this company in 2008 out of a simple frustration: out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. Years of community service across South Florida sits behind that founding rule. Weston homeowners call us because they have been burned before, by a fogged seal or a door that binds in July, and they want the work done right the first time by a company that will still answer the phone if something goes wrong.
Every TruePane job in Weston carries The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. On top of that, our Done Right Promise says if it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. You call, a person who knows Weston answers.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We measure every opening twice because an eighth of an inch slop in a CBS opening means a window that leaks air and light for thirty years. We hire local, we train apprentices into journeymen, and we sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we plan to be in town in thirty years.
Our Window Replacement Services in Weston
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means removing the entire window down to the rough opening and setting a new unit with new flashing, new jamb extensions, and a new frame profile. It is the right call for Weston homes where the original aluminum frames show oxidation, the glazing seals are delaminated, or the rough opening itself has shifted over 25 to 35 years of South Florida humidity. Full-frame work in Weston runs $1,800 to $2,900 per opening for impact-rated units, and it’s the only route to changing a frame profile or color without fighting an HOA match to a dead product line. We handle the HOA submittal and the county permit on every full-frame job.

Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement, sometimes called pocket replacement, sets a new window inside the existing frame. The frame stays, the new sashes and insulated glass go in. It costs less, typically $800 to $1,600 per opening in Weston, and it preserves the original exterior profile. That matters in communities where the HOA will only approve windows that match the original Arvida-era extrusion. But inserts are not always the right call. If the existing frame has oxidized or twisted, an insert will never seat true, and the HOA may still require an exact profile match that only a full-frame rebuild can deliver. We will tell you which route your home actually needs, and quote both on paper.

Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Weston are not optional add-ons. Under Broward County’s HVHZ rules, every replacement window must be impact-rated or protected by an approved shutter system. A proper storm-rated window fuses the impact glass to the frame with a structural silicone bond, tested to withstand a nine-pound two-by-four hitting at 34 miles per hour. Storm window replacement in Weston runs $1,200 to $2,400 per opening depending on frame material and glass package. We quote CGI, PGT, and ES Windows side by side so you can compare the actual missile ratings and warranty terms in writing, not on a salesperson’s word.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Weston’s original 1990s aluminum windows were not built for thermal performance or UV blocking. Sealed units lose their argon fill, the seals delaminate, and by year twenty the sashes sag and the air conditioner runs constantly. An energy-efficient upgrade replaces dead aluminum with low-emissivity insulated glass, warm-edge spacers, and a thermally broken or fusion-welded frame. Expect to pay $1,000 to $2,200 per opening in Weston for this route, and expect it to pay back in comfort before it pays back on the electric bill.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Weston Homes
- HOA architectural committee rejects frame color or grid pattern after permits are pulled. This happens in Weston Hills and The Ridges when a contractor files the Broward County permit first and the HOA submittal second, or never. Stop-work order, re-order for compliant bronze profiles, and a job that stretches from two weeks to two months. We file HOA approval first, every time.
- Contractors skip the pre-HOA approval step and install HVHZ-compliant windows that do not match. The windows pass the county inspection, then the HOA levies fines and demands removal for non-matching bronze profiles or nondescript grid spacing. The homeowner is stuck between a county that signed off and an HOA that will not. We carry HOA written approval in hand before the Broward permit is ever pulled.
- Aluminum frames on 1990s-era Weston homes show oxidation and glazing seal delamination. Twenty-five miles inland, sustained UV intensity and humidity accelerate aluminum frame oxidation and seal failure, so units from the 1990 to 2005 build-out are functionally end-of-life. Fogging, lost argon, sagging sashes, and failed hardware show up in clusters across the same neighborhoods.
- HVHZ impact certification confusion. Homeowners and, honestly, some contractors do not know the difference between Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval. If the unit does not carry the right certification for Broward County, the county inspector will fail it. We specify units with the correct HVHZ paperwork before we order, not after.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Weston, FL
| Service | Typical Range in Weston (Per Opening) |
|---|---|
| Insert Window Replacement | $800-$1,600 |

Several things push a Weston window job toward the top of these ranges. An HOA requiring an exact match to a discontinued Arvida-era bronze profile sometimes means a custom extrusion run. A third-floor opening with limited ladder access costs more than a ground-floor slider. Impact glass rated for HVHZ carries a premium over standard insulated glass, but in Weston there is no choice about that, and that is a good thing. Every TruePane quote is a written line-item estimate. If the price changes once work starts, we have failed to do our job. Call (954) 280-4413 for your free estimate, and we will map the whole job, HOA submittal included, before you spend a dime. We also honor a $50 discount on any repair over $250 and a maintenance check, which is the cheapest way to find out whether your windows are actually dead or just dirty.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Weston
Yes. Weston’s Arvida-era HOA architectural committees hold approval authority over window replacements regardless of whether the unit carries HVHZ impact certification or a Miami-Dade NOA. The Broward County permit and the HOA approval are two separate gates, and in Weston the HOA one comes first. Communities like Weston Hills and The Ridges regularly issue stop-work orders for windows that pass the county impact test but fail the architectural match. We file the HOA submittal before we pull the county permit. Every time. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will tell you exactly what your specific community requires.
Weston Hills and The Ridges typically approve the original Arvida-era specs: bronze or white extruded aluminum frame profiles with specific grid patterns, commonly four-over-four or six-over-six depending on the elevation. The exact pattern varies by village and sometimes by street, which is why a submittal packet has to include manufacturer profile drawings and exact color codes. We match your community’s spec against current CGI, PGT, and ES Windows lines before we order, so there is no re-order and no stop-work. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate that includes the HOA submittal work.
It depends on the community and the committee’s meeting calendar, but you should plan on two to six weeks for HOA review before the county permit process even starts. Some Weston HOA committees meet monthly, some twice a month, and some will not review a submittal that is missing profile drawings or color chips. Shorter is possible; longer than six weeks usually means the packet was incomplete. We prepare the packet with every drawing, spec, and color code the committee asks for, so review does not get kicked back. Schedule your free estimate at (954) 280-4413 and we will lay out your specific timeline.
Insert replacements are allowed in Weston as long as the resulting window matches the HOA’s architectural spec and the existing frame is structurally sound. The problem is that many 1990s-era aluminum frames are oxidized or twisted past the point of holding an insert true, and some HOA committees will only approve a profile that only a full-frame install can provide. We quote both routes on paper, side by side, and let the frame condition and the HOA letter decide. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will inspect your existing frames for free.
Broward County sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the same wind-load design territory as Miami-Dade, and requires replacement windows to be impact-certified by either Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. The two standards are nearly identical on wind load and missile impact; the difference is which agency holds the paperwork. If a unit carries a valid Miami-Dade NOA or a Florida Product Approval that covers Broward County’s HVHZ, the county inspector will accept it. We specify the correct certification before ordering so there is no failed inspection. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
