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

Trusted Window Replacement for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners

Window Replacement - Fort Lauderdale is not a cosmetic decision. It is a structural one, driven by salt air, hurricane codes, and the simple reality that a window installed wrong will announce itself every time the AC cycles on. TruePane Windows & Doors has spent years setting panes true in Broward County homes, with a live person answering every call at (954) 280-4413, 24 hours a day. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center. When a fogged seal or a binding sash has you staring at your electric bill, the fix starts with a company that writes both warranty layers down on paper and stands behind the work for 90 days after the truck leaves.

Call (954) 280-4413

We founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule Dale Kessler still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means no shimmed corners, no voided warranties, no second trip because the first crew cut a corner. Fort Lauderdale homeowners who have been burned once by a low bid and a vanished contractor tend to call us second. We plan to be the last call they make.

What Our Window Replacement Service Includes

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement removes the entire existing window, including the frame, sash, and trim, down to the rough opening. You need this when the frame itself has rotted, settled out of square, or no longer holds a seal against Fort Lauderdale’s summer humidity. TruePane technicians measure every opening twice before ordering, because a full frame job that is off by a quarter inch becomes a masonry problem, not a window problem.

We inspect the rough opening for hidden water damage before the new unit goes in, and we will not set a new frame over compromised wood. The new window gets flashed, leveled, and shimmed true before the trim goes back on. This is the permanent fix for windows that have leaked, bowed, or failed at the frame.

Insert Window Replacement

Insert replacement, sometimes called pocket replacement, fits a new window unit into the existing frame. This is the right call when the original frame is still square and solid, but the glass, sash, or hardware has failed. It costs less than full frame and disturbs less of the wall, which matters in Fort Lauderdale homes where original interior casing is worth keeping, making it a smart choice for Affordable Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

We measure the existing opening to the 16th of an inch and order the insert to fit that exact pocket. The result is a tighter seal, fewer drafts, and no damage to the surrounding trim or drywall. Inserts are not a shortcut; they are the correct repair when the frame itself is sound, and we will tell you plainly if yours is not.

Storm Window Replacement

Storm window replacement addresses the exterior secondary window that takes the brunt of wind-driven rain and salt spray. Fort Lauderdale’s coastal blocks punish storm windows with corrosion, cracked glass, and failed seals that let moisture sit between panes. We replace storm units with materials rated for a marine environment, and we verify the primary window behind them is still doing its job.

In older Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Sailboat Bend, original storm windows often carry historic proportions that off-the-shelf units will not match. TruePane orders custom storm replacements that fit the original openings exactly. The result looks like it belongs to the house, because it does.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

An energy-efficient upgrade replaces old single-pane or failing double-pane glass with low-E coated, gas-filled units that cut solar heat gain. In Fort Lauderdale, where the AC runs ten months a year, this is the replacement that pays for itself fastest on the FPL bill. We quote specific performance numbers, not vague promises about “efficiency.”

Every energy-efficient upgrade from TruePane includes written documentation of the glass coating, gas fill, and U-factor of the unit you are buying. That is part of The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. You will know exactly what is in the sash and what the manufacturer covers.

Historic Window Restoration

Historic window restoration in Fort Lauderdale is a craft discipline, not a parts swap. Homes in neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Colee Hammock often have original sash windows, casements, or jalousies that a modern vinyl insert would ruin. TruePane’s second-generation glazier training means we can restore the original frame, replace damaged muntins, and reglaze the unit so it performs without sacrificing its character.

We will tell you honestly when restoration is the better investment and when replacement is the only sound option. Some old sashes have too much rot or too many failed seals to save, and patching them would be a disservice. Either way, the work is done true, with the same warranty documentation as every other TruePane job.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement

We are an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two impact-window manufacturers most common in Fort Lauderdale’s coastal and inland neighborhoods. We have set hundreds of PGT units in homes from Coral Ridge to Harbordale, and we know their frame profiles, hardware tolerances, and warranty registration process line by line. CGI’s heavier extruded frames have their own installation sequence, and our technicians follow it exactly, because an impact window under a hurricane load is not the place for improvisation.

We also work extensively with Ply Gem and CWS units where homeowners want solid performance at a lower material cost. When you call TruePane for a replacement, we do not push a single brand. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with the actual model numbers and warranty terms listed, so you can see what you are buying. Whether you have any of these makes or something else entirely, the standard is the same: measured twice, set true, documented.

Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now

• Fogged or hazy glass that will not wipe clean. This means the seal between the panes has failed and the insulating gas is gone. The window is no longer doing its thermal job, and the only permanent fix is replacing the sash or the entire unit.
• A sash that binds, sticks, or will not stay open. Warped frames and worn balances are not quirks. They are mechanical failures that will only get worse, and in an emergency-egress window they are a matter of safety as much as convenience.
• Drafts you can feel on a still day. If air moves around a closed window, the weatherstripping, the frame, or the installation itself has failed. Fort Lauderdale’s humidity will find every gap and make you pay for it on the electric bill.
• Visible rot, cracking, or peeling on the frame or sash. In a salt-air climate, frame rot spreads fast once it starts. A window that looks sun-beaten on the outside is often hiding water intrusion inside the wall cavity.
• Rising energy bills with no change in usage. When the AC works harder every summer and the bill climbs with it, failed window insulation is a common culprit. Replacing the worst offenders often drops the bill within the first full month.

Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Measurement and site inspection. A uniformed, background-checked TruePane technician arrives on schedule and measures every opening twice, with a digital laser and a physical tape. We inspect the existing frame, the rough opening, and the surrounding wall for water damage before quoting anything.
2. 2
   Side-by-side written quote. You get manufacturer lines quoted on paper, with model numbers, glass packages, and warranty terms listed separately. No verbal estimates, no numbers scribbled on a business card. You see exactly what you are buying.
3. 3
   Material ordering and warranty registration. We order the units to the measured dimensions and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck arrives for installation. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is non-negotiable.
4. 4
   Removal and installation. The old unit comes out carefully, the opening gets inspected and prepped, and the new window goes in level, plumb, and true. We flash the opening against water intrusion and seal it to Fort Lauderdale’s wind and rain standards.
5. 5
   Cleanup and verification. We haul away the old window and debris, then walk you through the finished job and show you the warranty paperwork. The Done Right Promise starts the day we drive away, and a live person answers the phone if you have any question at all.
