Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Fort Lauderdale

Window replacement in Fort Lauderdale runs $800 to $1,500 per window for impact-rated units, with whole-home packages between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on opening count, frame material, and floor height. If you live in Victoria Park, Sailboat Bend, Harbor Beach, or anywhere along the city’s 300-plus miles of canals, you’re not just replacing glass. You’re upgrading a house to meet Florida’s strictest building code, because Fort Lauderdale sits entirely inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Our Window Replacement team measures every opening twice, quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and registers both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’ve spent years as a second-generation glazier’s operation, and the work we do in Fort Lauderdale gets judged against the strictest product-approval standard in the country. That’s not marketing language. That’s the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance requirement every window in this city has to carry. Our crews know the difference between a Florida Product Approval number and an NOA number, and we won’t install a unit that doesn’t meet the local requirement.

Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. In Fort Lauderdale, that rule applies to more than glass. It applies to how a frame seats in a 1960s masonry opening, how a weep track drains during an August downpour, and how a tilting sash holds in a Category 3 wind event.

Customers in Fort Lauderdale don’t just want a quote. They want someone who knows that canal-front homes in Las Olas Isles and Seven Isles corrode differently than houses set back on Oakland Park Boulevard. They want a company that will still answer the phone in ten years. We plan to be here in thirty.

Our Window Replacement Services in Fort Lauderdale

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement means the entire window comes out, down to the rough opening. In Fort Lauderdale’s older concrete block homes, that’s often the only way to do the job right, because the original 1950s and 1960s frames were set with techniques that don’t seal against modern wind-driven rain. We remove the old frame, repair any spalled concrete around the buck, flash the opening properly, and set the new unit so water sheds away from the house instead of into it. For jalousie windows in Sailboat Bend or Tarpon River, full frame replacement is usually the only path to HVHZ compliance.

Insert Window Replacement

An insert window, sometimes called a pocket replacement, fits a new window inside the existing frame. It’s a good option when the original frame is still square and structurally sound. In Fort Lauderdale, we mostly see that on newer homes or on openings that don’t face the water. The catch in this city is corrosion. If the existing aluminum frame has started to pit or the weep holes are clogged with salt scale, an insert won’t fix that. We’ll tell you straight whether your frame is worth saving, because putting a $1,200 window into a failing frame is a bad deal no matter how it’s priced.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl is the most common frame material we install in Fort Lauderdale for homes that don’t require the heaviest impact ratings. It won’t corrode in the salt air the way aluminum does, and modern multi-chamber vinyl frames hold a design pressure rating that satisfies code in most inland neighborhoods like Edgewood and Poinsettia Heights. Vinyl impact windows generally run $800 to $1,200 per opening installed. We quote PGT, CGI, and other lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what each number buys.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Fort Lauderdale’s cooling season runs effectively nine months a year, and windows are the biggest single hole in a home’s thermal envelope. Low-E glass, argon fills, and thermally broken frames cut the solar heat gain that makes an air conditioner run nonstop from May through October. In a concrete block home, window upgrades deliver some of the fastest energy payback you can buy. And if you’re replacing anyway, the upgrade cost is incremental, because the framing and labor are already in the quote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Fort Lauderdale specifically, we lean on PGT and CGI often, because their units carry broad Miami-Dade NOAs across multiple configurations, which keeps the engineering package simpler when it’s time for permitting. We also service Therma-Tru and ViewLux products for door scopes of work. If a Fort Lauderdale customer calls with a failed seal on a PGT window we didn’t install, we can still get parts and we can still fix it. We register warranty layers in writing on every job, no matter the brand.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• Directional corrosion on canal and finger-island homes. Rear and side windows facing the water fail first. On Seven Isles and Harbor Beach, we routinely see weep tracks and tilt-latch hardware corroded through on the canal side while street-facing windows are still sound. That pattern rarely shows up in landlocked Broward suburbs, which is why we quote maintenance for water-facing elevations at the time of installation.
• Original jalousie windows that fail current code. Thousands of Fort Lauderdale homes built between the 1950s and 1970s still have louvered glass jalousies. They don’t meet HVHZ impact requirements, they leak during heavy rain, and they’re a liability on any wind mitigation inspection. Replacing them in a masonry opening requires buck-and-anchor installation, not the trim-and-fastener approach common in wood-frame housing.
• Fogged seals from salt-air degradation. The same salt that corrodes aluminum also attacks the silicone sealant between double-pane glass layers. A window that fogs after eight years in Fort Lauderdale isn’t defective. It’s a casualty of the marine environment. The fix is either glass replacement in a sound frame or full replacement if the frame is also compromised.
• Loose frames from improper buck-and-anchor installation. A window that’s screwed through the frame into masonry will eventually pull loose. The correct method anchors the frame to a wooden buck set in the concrete, with proper flashing above and below. Homes where the original installer skipped this step show air leaks, water stains on interior drywall, and failed wind mitigation inspections.

What Window Replacement Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Impact windows in Fort Lauderdale generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units with standard sizes sit at $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings go $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages range $8,000 to $25,000 plus. The spread isn’t arbitrary. A 30-by-60-inch opening on a ground-level home in Edgewood has a different design pressure requirement than a 72-inch sliding door on a third-floor canal-front wall in Seven Isles. Material choice moves the number too: vinyl costs less than aluminum, extruded aluminum costs more but handles higher spans, and impact-rated laminated glass carries a premium over standard insulated glass. We give you the line-item quote in your hand before you sign anything, and the free in-home measure means the number you see is for your actual house, not a guess from a satellite photo.

Florida Pays You Back

Fort Lauderdale homeowners replacing windows in 2026 have a stack of incentives available, and we’ll walk you through each one, including which forms to file and in what order. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 toward qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, which trims 6% off the product cost at purchase. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying efficient units. And after a wind mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% against the windstorm portion of the policy. We don’t guarantee any of these numbers. Programs change, carriers set their own criteria, and your final credit is between you and your insurer. But we do guarantee we’ll document everything you need: NOA numbers, product approvals, installation photos, and the signed wind mitigation paperwork.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters

Shutters protect a house only when someone is there to close them. And a hurricane that turns north in the middle of the night doesn’t wait for you to get home from work. Impact windows protect the house full time. They’re always in place, always sealed, and they pass the large-missile impact test that shutters only meet when they’re deployed properly. In Fort Lauderdale, where evacuation orders come late and storms don’t always track the cone, permanent protection makes more practical sense for people who plan to live in their house for another twenty years. Shutters also do nothing for the salt-air corrosion that’s already eating your existing frames. Impact windows replace the whole system: glass, frame, seal, hardware. That’s the difference between a product cycle and a weekend chore.
