Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Lighthouse Point
Custom window and door work in Lighthouse Point is not a one-size-fits-all job. Nearly every home here sits within a few hundred feet of a canal that feeds the Intracoastal, which means salt air, HVHZ wind codes, and 1960s concrete block openings all land in the same quote. We’ve worked these streets long enough to know what holds up and what does not. TruePane handles Custom Windows & Doors the way Lighthouse Point actually demands: NOA-rated materials, marine-grade hardware, and openings measured twice before anything gets ordered. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and a live person answers, day or night.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Homeowners in Lighthouse Point tend to ask the same question before they sign anything: will you still be here in ten years? We have been serving Broward and the surrounding communities since 2008 through a craft tradition started by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008. Dale keeps one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every custom window and door we set in Lighthouse Point, from a single oversized fixed pane on a waterfront living room to a full curtain wall on a commercial build-out along Sample Road.
Our technicians arrive background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice. Before the truck leaves your driveway, both warranty layers are registered in writing with durations stated. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is backed by our Done Right Promise. No paperwork fights, no arguing. If it is not done right, we make it right. Our Lighthouse Point customers call the same local number, talk to the same people, and get the same square deal every time. We are Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, and we’ll be there when we say.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point
Every block in Lighthouse Point is a short walk from saltwater. That one fact shapes the materials we recommend, the seals we specify, and the frames we refuse to install. Here is what we handle most often in this city.
Custom Shape Windows
Mid-century Lighthouse Point homes often have angled walls, eyebrow arches, and half-round transoms over front entries. When those openings are out of square in a CBS block wall, standard stock windows will not fit and should not be forced. We build custom shape windows to the actual opening, with NOA-rated impact glass that passes Broward County inspection. We have set trapezoids, circles, and clipped-corner units along NE 31st Avenue and nearby streets, each one ordered to the eighth of an inch.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Lighthouse Point’s commercial frontage along Federal Highway and Sample Road sees the same salt exposure as the canal homes, plus heavy foot traffic and sun load from the east. Storefront glazing here needs marine-grade aluminum and properly sealed mullions or the framing stains and pits within a few years. We replace narrow-stile and medium-stile storefront systems to code, often for dental offices, brokerages, and small retail suites with older curtain wall details.

Curtain Wall Systems
A curtain wall on a Lighthouse Point low-rise or medical office cannot be an inland spec. The HVHZ wind zone imposes higher design pressures than most Florida markets, so the aluminum extrusion profile, anchor spacing, and gasket system all change. We install and replace curtain wall systems to the engineering requirements for this exact building code district, with impact glazing when the wall takes direct wind-borne debris exposure.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Many Lighthouse Point owners want true divided light or simulated divided lite (SDL) bars on their impact windows so the new glass matches the 1960s character of the house. We supply architectural grilles in flat, sculpted, and custom profiles, color-matched to the frame. On canal-facing elevations, we recommend grilles applied between glass layers where possible so the salt air does not pit the aluminum over time.

Oversized Glass Panels
Canal views are the whole point of living in Lighthouse Point, and the right oversized panel should disappear rather than distort. We have installed fixed and sliding oversized panes up to 10 feet across on homes facing the Intracoastal and the finger canals off NE 28th Court. These are custom-ordered, NOA-rated units with stainless hardware and heavy-duty rollers built for the weight. The framing must be engineered, not guessed at.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Canal-side aluminum frame corrosion: Within 10 to 15 years, salt air eats through thin aluminum jambs on 1960s sliders, which distorts the jamb and binds the sash until the multi-point hardware breaks. The fix is full frame replacement, not a hardware swap.
- Non-NOA single-pane sliders failing inspection: Original jalousie and single-track units from the 1950s and 1960s will not pass Broward County’s HVHZ wind-borne debris inspection. Replacing the sash is not an option; the entire opening must be re-glazed with approved impact product.
- Improper flashing at the concrete buck: When flashing tape is not sealed to mid-century concrete block correctly, storm surge and rain drive salt-laden moisture behind the stucco. The structural buck rots or spalls, and the new window fails from the inside out.
- Roller and track failure on heavy sliders: Oversized canal-facing patio doors get heavy when they carry impact glass. Stock rollers bind and flatten, and the track wears unevenly. We replace with stainless rollers and marine-grade tracks sized for the actual panel weight.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL
Lighthouse Point pricing runs higher than inland Broward for one simple reason: the material spec has to be coastal-grade. A basic custom fixed window in this city typically runs $900 to $2,200 per opening for NOA-rated impact glass and a marine-grade frame. Full-frame replacement with custom sizing on a mid-century CBS home runs $1,800 to $4,500 per opening, depending on mullion count, grille profile, and whether the opening needs structural buck repair. Oversized canal-facing panels run $3,000 to $9,000 plus, because the glazing and hardware are engineered. The gap between a coastal-spec job and the inland-spec version is real, and the inland version costs more within a decade when salt air and failed inspection force a redo.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Because the HVHZ code in Lighthouse Point adds wind-load and water-infiltration requirements that inland Broward neighborhoods do not face. Your permit will hinge on NOA documentation for the exact product, but the installation itself must also meet the building department’s anchoring and flashing standards for CBS block. We pull the permit, line up the product paperwork, and schedule the inspection with the opening prepped to pass. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate and we will walk you through exactly what your opening requires.
Salt-laden air works on unprotected aluminum extruded for inland use by causing galvanic corrosion at the joints, tracks, and screws. Within about 10 to 15 years, the jamb distorts, the sash binds, and the hardware breaks under the strain. The fix is a marine-grade or factory-finished aluminum frame, stainless fasteners, and sealed end caps. TruePane specifies those materials as standard on Lighthouse Point jobs because the alternative costs more within a decade.
A coastal-spec impact window for Lighthouse Point typically runs 30 to 60 percent more than the same size inland-spec unit: roughly $300 to $700 more per opening on standard windows, and several thousand more on oversized panels. The premium pays for NOA-rated glazing, marine-grade aluminum, stainless hardware, and the anchoring that passes HVHZ inspection. The cheap inland spec may pass nowhere near the canal, and it will not hold up here. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will put both numbers on paper for you.
In most Lighthouse Point homes, the short answer is no, because original jalousie windows cannot meet current HVHZ wind-borne debris codes even with panels over them. The jalousie glass and the aluminum housing were never rated for today’s design pressures. Replacing them means a full custom window with NOA impact glazing or a tested system engineered to carry the load. We will tell you if there is any scenario where a panel works, and if not, what a compliant replacement actually costs. Call (954) 280-4413 for a straight answer and a free measure.
Because both matter on the same water-facing wall. A window can pass the HVHZ impact test and still bake a canal-front room if the SHGC is too high or leak conditioned air if the U-factor is weak. In Lighthouse Point, where summer sun reflects off canal water for hours, we specify glazing with the right solar heat gain coefficient and low U-factor for the elevation it faces. Impact protection and thermal performance are not either/or; they are both in the glazing package. We can show you the numbers on your specific openings. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate.
