AfterWindows & Doors Services in Lauderdale Lakes, FL
If you live in Lauderdale Lakes, you probably already know the score: most of the condos and homes here were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and a lot of them still have the original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows. Those windows were never designed for Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and they certainly were not designed for another forty years of South Florida sun and storms. We install, replace, and service windows and doors throughout Lauderdale Lakes, and we answer the phone live, 24 hours a day. Call (954) 280-4413 and you will speak to a person, not a call tree.
Before you commit to any contractor, get our home page bookmarked so you can see exactly who you are dealing with. We are TruePane Windows & Doors, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, and we have been doing this work long enough to know that Lauderdale Lakes is its own animal when it comes to code, HOA rules, and building age.

Why Lauderdale Lakes Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Lauderdale Lakes is a city of garden condominiums and CBS single-family homes, and the people who live here have typically owned their units for fifteen, twenty, sometimes thirty years. They have been through storms. They have watched insurance premiums climb. They have dealt with the contractor who promised impact windows and then disappeared when the permit got complicated. We show up with background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you are buying and what each warranty actually covers.
We serve condo units and homes in the areas around NW 31st Avenue and Oakland Park Boulevard, including the communities near Vincent Torres Memorial Park and the condo clusters east of State Road 7. The work we do there tells us one thing consistently: property managers and HOA boards want a company that will still answer the phone in ten years. The Keystone Standard is our answer to that. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, and every job carries our Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither side.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lauderdale Lakes
Window Installation
New construction or retrofit, we set windows in Lauderdale Lakes condos and homes with attention to the original rough opening. Many older CBS units here need buck framing or masonry patching before a new window can be properly sealed. Learn more about our Window Installation in Lauderdale Lakes.
Door Installation
We install entry doors, French doors, and hurricane-rated exterior doors for Lauderdale Lakes homeowners. A door that binds in July is usually a sign the original frame has shifted with the slab, and we correct the opening before we set the door. Learn more about our Door Installation in Lauderdale Lakes.
Window Replacement
Replacing jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows in Lauderdale Lakes is not a cosmetic job. It is a code compliance job and an insurance discount job, and we handle both angles on every replacement. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Lauderdale Lakes.
Impact Windows & Doors
Every impact window or door we install in Lauderdale Lakes carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or equivalent HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and CWS, and we quote those lines side by side so you can compare glass, frame, and warranty honestly.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated frames cut the cooling load in Lauderdale Lakes units that sit in direct afternoon sun. For condo owners, the difference often shows up in the next electric bill, especially in upper-floor units facing west.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliding glass doors in Lauderdale Lakes condos are frequently the original aluminum units with worn rollers and loose seals. We replace them with impact-rated sliders that actually glide, and we do not leave a gap at the threshold.
Glass Railing Systems
For balconies, stairwells, and pool decks in Lauderdale Lakes, we install frameless and semi-frameless glass railing systems that meet Broward County load requirements. This is a growing request from condo associations upgrading common areas.
Custom Windows & Doors
Odd-shaped openings, arched tops, clerestory windows, custom entry systems: we measure, fabricate, and install to the opening, not the catalog. If you have a Lauderdale Lakes condo with a non-standard window, we have likely already built something like it.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lauderdale Lakes
We work throughout Lauderdale Lakes, from the condo communities along NW 36th Street to the single-family streets off NW 43rd Avenue. Here are a few of the neighborhoods and areas we serve regularly, with typical same-week scheduling for estimates.
- East Gate - dense condo clusters near State Road 7 with original aluminum windows still in place.
- Lauderdale Lakes West - garden condominiums along NW 43rd Avenue where HOA-driven replacements are common.
- Vincent Torres Memorial Park area - homes and condos near NW 31st Avenue and Oakland Park Boulevard.
- North Lauderdale Lakes - CBS homes and low-rise apartments near the 33309 and 33311 ZIP lines.
- Highland Village - older single-family homes where jalousie windows are still found on enclosed porches.
Why Lauderdale Lakes’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lauderdale Lakes sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That designation is not a label. It is a legal requirement that every replacement window or door in this city must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or equivalent HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. That is a stricter standard than Palm Beach County, twenty miles north, which means many of the big-box window lines sold in Boca or Delray are not even legal to install here. This is not a paperwork detail; it is the difference between a window that passes inspection and one that gets red-tagged.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most Lauderdale Lakes residential buildings are 2 to 3 story CBS garden condominiums built between 1960 and 1978. The original window rough openings were sized for jalousie or thin aluminum sliding units. When we pull one of those frames out, we routinely find corroded aluminum embedded in the masonry, which has to be ground, patched, or buck-framed before an impact-rated unit can be set and sealed properly. A contractor who has not worked in Lauderdale Lakes will discover this on your dime. We already know it is there.
There is another pressure at work. Florida’s property insurance crisis has made impact windows financially urgent for residents here. Several major carriers have non-renewed policies on CBS units in Lauderdale Lakes that still have jalousie or non-impact glazing. Replacing those windows is no longer just about comfort or storm safety; for a lot of condo owners it is the only way to keep a policy in force. We get calls from homeowners who received a non-renewal letter and have sixty days to show proof of upgrade.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes
Pricing in Lauderdale Lakes follows the housing stock. Condos and CBS homes here tend to have standard rough openings, which keeps per-opening costs predictable. Here is what we see on typical jobs:
- Impact window replacement (standard opening): $900 to $1,800 per window, depending on frame material, glass package, and manufacturer line.
- Impact sliding glass door: $3,200 to $6,500, including removal and haul-off of the original unit.
- Entry door with HVHZ frame: $2,800 to $5,200 installed.
- Full condo unit (5 to 8 openings): $7,000 to $15,000, with better per-opening pricing on multi-window jobs.
These are honest ranges, not bait numbers. If a quote comes in far below this in Lauderdale Lakes, check the product approvals and the warranty paperwork before you sign. With TruePane you get a written line-item quote, no surprise line items on the final bill, and no change orders unless you change the scope yourself. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate and we will put the numbers on paper.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes
Yes. Every window and door replacement in Lauderdale Lakes requires a permit because the city sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the Broward County building department requires Miami-Dade NOA or equivalent HVHZ product approval on every opening. We pull the permits, coordinate inspections, and do not start cutting into masonry until the permit is in hand. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will walk you through what your specific building needs.
Most condo associations in Lauderdale Lakes require HOA sign-off before any window or door replacement, and many have bylaws that trigger matching impact-rated upgrades for adjacent or same-building units when one unit pulls a permit. We have worked with dozens of these boards and will help you get the approval letter. If your association requires a building-wide replacement, we can mobilize for an entire 20-unit building in a single project. Call (954) 280-4413 to discuss your HOA’s specific rules.
Impact window replacement in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $900 to $1,800 per window for standard openings, and $3,200 to $6,500 for a sliding glass door. Your exact price depends on the manufacturer, frame material, and how much masonry repair the original opening needs. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are paying for. Estimates are free: call (954) 280-4413.
Yes, in most cases. Impact-rated windows and doors with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval typically qualify for wind mitigation credits on your policy, and many Lauderdale Lakes condo owners see meaningful premium reductions. More importantly, several major Florida carriers have non-renewed policies on CBS units with jalousie or non-impact glazing entirely, so the upgrade may be what keeps your policy in force. We can provide the product approval documentation your agent needs.
Most standard window replacements in Lauderdale Lakes are completed in a single visit. Door replacements, especially those requiring masonry repair, can take one to two days. Permit processing time is the bigger variable. We manage that on our end and keep you informed of the timeline before we ever schedule the truck. Call (954) 280-4413 for a realistic schedule on your specific project.

What Lauderdale Lakes Customers Say
"Two entry doors. Showed up when they said, second day was a half day like they said, and the painter they recommended confirmed the frames were dead plumb. The financing was explained in actual dollars, not a brochure."
- Janet R."Storm door and a new back entry door. Small job, but they treated it like one that mattered. Screws in the hinges are stainless, the sweep actually seals, and the invoice matched the phone quote to the dollar."
- Vernon H."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L.
