Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Window Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners

Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale is not a job you want done twice. Between the salt air, the summer humidity, and the hurricane codes that shape every opening in the county, a window that is set even slightly out of true will fog, bind, or leak long before its time. TruePane Windows & Doors has been installing, replacing, and servicing windows for Fort Lauderdale homeowners since 2008, and we are led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded this company in 2008 on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (954) 280-4413 to talk to a live person about your window project.

What Our Window Installation Service Includes

Every window we install in Fort Lauderdale starts with a simple premise: the opening gets measured twice, the manufacturer lines get quoted side by side on paper, and both warranty layers get registered before we leave the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it applies whether you are replacing one fogged casement or every opening in the house.

Casement Windows

Casement windows hinge at the side and crank outward, which makes them one of the tightest-sealing window styles available when they are installed correctly. In Fort Lauderdale, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life from June through November, that seal matters. TruePane installs casement windows with careful attention to the reveal, the weatherstripping, and the hardware alignment so the sash closes square against the frame every time.

Awning Windows

Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, which lets you keep a window open during a light rain without water coming in. They work well over kitchen sinks, in bathrooms, and anywhere you want ventilation without giving up privacy. We set awning windows so the operator hardware does not bind, and we check that the drip edge keeps water moving away from the opening, not into it.

Fixed & Picture Windows

Fixed and picture windows do not open. They exist to frame a view, bring in light, and in Fort Lauderdale that means the glass package matters more than the operator. We install fixed windows with careful attention to the rough opening, the shims, and the exterior sealant, because a fixed window that leaks is not fixable with a crank adjustment. It has to be pulled and reset, which is exactly the kind of rework our process is designed to prevent.

Single & Double Hung

Single hung windows have a fixed top sash and a movable bottom sash. Double hung windows let both sashes move, which gives you better airflow and easier cleaning on a second story. The most common complaint with hung windows in Fort Lauderdale is a sash that binds in July, when the humidity swells the wood or the vinyl. We install hung windows with the side jambs plumb and the balances set evenly, so the sash travels smooth twelve months a year.

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows move horizontally on a track, and they are common in mid-century Fort Lauderdale houses and condo conversions. The track has to be level and the rollers have to be rated for the weight of the sash, or the window will drag and the track will fill with sand and salt. We set sliding windows with a level track and a clean, lubricated roller assembly, then test the sash five or six times before we call the job done.

Bay & Bow Windows

Bay and bow windows project outward from the wall and add floor space, light, and a ledge. They are heavier than any other window style, which means the structural support under the projection has to be solid before the window goes in. TruePane checks the cantilever, the header, and the seat board before we ever order the glass, because a bay window that sags is not a glass problem. It is a framing problem, and we fix it correctly the first time.

Brands We Service for Window Installation

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem. PGT and CGI are two of the most common impact-rated window brands in Fort Lauderdale and across Broward County, and we have installed hundreds of their units in everything from 1950s ranch houses to new concrete-block construction. With PGT, we pay close attention to the interlocking meeting rails and the anchor requirements, because a PGT impact window is only as good as the fasteners holding it to the block. With CGI, we match the glass package to the wind zone and the exposure, and we register the warranty before the truck leaves the driveway.

Ply Gem windows show up often in hopper and slider applications, and we have spent years working with their extrusions and balances. Whether you have PGT, CGI, Ply Gem, or any other make, we can help. The process is the same: measure every opening twice, quote the lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the job is finished.

Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now

• Condensation or fog between the panes. When the seal on an insulated glass unit fails, the dry air inside the pane leaks out and humid air leaks in. That fog means the thermal barrier is gone, and the only real repair is a new window sash or a full replacement.
• You can see daylight around the sash or frame. A window that does not close tight against the weatherstripping is letting conditioned air out and salt air in. In Fort Lauderdale, that gap is also an entry point for driven rain during a storm.
• The window is hard to open, or it drops when you let go. Balances fail, tracks wear, and sashes corrode in the coastal air. A window that will not stay open is a safety hazard and a sign that the hardware has reached the end of its service life.
• Wood rot or soft spots around the frame. If the wood around the window feels soft when you press on it, water has been getting behind the siding for a long time. The rot has to be cut out and the opening rebuilt before a new window can be installed correctly.
• The panes rattle when the wind blows. A window that rattles in a Fort Lauderdale thunderstorm is not seated properly in its frame. That movement will only get worse, and it puts extra stress on the glass and the sealant.

Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step

We do not send a salesperson with a binder and a pitch. We send a uniformed, background-checked technician who knows how to read an opening, check for water intrusion, and tell you honestly whether the window needs to be replaced or can be repaired. Here is how the process works.

1. 1
   Call (954) 280-4413 and talk to a live person. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will ask about your windows, your house, and what you are seeing, and we will schedule a time that works for you.
2. 2
   On-site measurement and assessment. Our technician measures every opening twice, checks the condition of the framing, the flashing, and the existing sealant, and looks for signs of water that has been getting in behind the wall. We will tell you what we find, even if the news is not what you hoped for.
3. 3
   Side-by-side quotes on paper. You will see the manufacturer lines we recommend, the glass packages, the impact ratings, and the installed price for each option. No change orders, no surprise line items after the fact. A square deal, in writing.
4. 4
   Installation with permits and inspections. We pull the permits, install the windows to Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code standards, and pass the inspections that go with them. Every technician is uniformed, background-checked, and trained to work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s.
5. 5
   Warranty registration and the Done Right Promise. Before we leave, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the paperwork with the durations stated. If anything is not done right within 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
