Window and door work in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea comes down to two things: salt and wind. Everything else is secondary. TruePane Windows & Doors handles both. We install, replace, and service windows and doors across this beach town, and when you call (813) 320-9346, a live person answers and asks about your openings, your frame corrosion, and whether you’ve seen any fogging between panes. That’s how the conversation starts here.

Why Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re the company people call after a fogged seal or a door that binds in July. That’s the bulk of our work along El Mar Drive and up toward Bel-Air Isle: fixing what another install got wrong, or replacing original single-pane jalousie windows before the next hurricane season. Our crews work in this town regularly, and we understand that the salt air off the Atlantic is not a minor inconvenience. It’s a mechanical fact. It eats frames, seizes hardware, and kills seals years before inland windows fail. Homeowners in the Little Hotel By The Sea district and the condo rows west of A1A call us because we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers in writing, and don’t leave until the opening is square and true. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Window Installation
New windows, set square, with frames rated for coastal exposure. We measure every opening twice before ordering, because non-standard rough openings from the old motel conversions are common here. Learn more about our Window Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and sliding doors hung to handle salt air and hurricane season. We check the threshold, the jamb, and the reveal so the door doesn’t bind when humidity climbs. Learn more about our Door Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Window Replacement
Replacing failed windows in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea means pulling out frames that have been corroding for decades and fitting HVHZ-approved units. Most jobs are completed in one visit. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Impact Windows & Doors
Our Impact Windows & Doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea use hurricane-rated glazing that meets Miami-Dade NOA product approval, which Broward County requires for this coastal exposure. PGT and CGI are the lines we quote most often here, but you’ll see the side-by-side comparison before we order anything.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea use Low-E glass and insulated frames that cut down on air-conditioning load while standing up to salt and sun. The heat gain through a single-pane jalousie window in this climate is substantial, and the upgrade pays for itself over time.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Our Sliding & Patio Doors - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea use track systems and rollers that still slide smoothly after seasons of salt exposure. We use marine-grade hardware where it matters and adjust the reveal so the door doesn’t drag when humidity expands the frame.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass Railing Systems - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea include frameless or standoff glass railings for balconies and terraces within view of the Atlantic. The stainless hardware needs to be marine grade, and the glass needs to be tempered to code. Both are standard on our jobs.
Custom Windows & Doors
When a standard size won’t fit, we order custom. Those converted motel units along A1A with jalousie bays don’t accept off-the-shelf impact frames, and we handle that specification work every month in this town.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
We work throughout the town, from the low-rise condo complexes between Commercial Boulevard and the pier to the cottage streets east of A1A. Our typical response time in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is same week for most estimates, and we coordinate dispatch from our South Florida metro office so local crews arrive without a long lead time.

Why Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a narrow coastal strip, and virtually no building sits more than a few blocks from the Atlantic. That means every window and door in town gets maximum salt spray, not just the oceanfront units. Frames oxidize faster, hardware seizes faster, seals fail faster. On top of that, Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone designation means every replacement window and door must carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance product approval. The wind loads at this coastal exposure are at the Florida maximum, and non-impact glazing on a permitted replacement simply won’t pass. The older housing stock compounds the problem. Many buildings began as 1950s and 1960s tourist courts and motel units later converted to condos. The jalousie window bays and non-standard rough openings from that era don’t fit standard impact frames, so we order custom or specially sized HVHZ-approved units. A contractor who only knows standard residential sizing will struggle here. We don’t.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
You’ll want numbers. Here they are, honestly. Impact window replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea typically runs $900 to $2,200 per opening, depending on size, frame material, and manufacturer line. Standard non-impact replacement windows run $600 to $1,400 per opening. Sliding glass door replacements run $2,400 to $5,500. Entry doors run $1,500 to $4,000 installed. Custom jalousie-to-impact conversions cost more because the rough opening has to be rebuilt. These ranges reflect coastal HVHZ-rated product, not inland pricing. We offer a maintenance check, a free written repair estimate, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll put a written line-item quote on your table, not a ballpark.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Yes. Broward County designates this coastal exposure as part of the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires all permitted replacement windows and doors to carry Miami-Dade NOA product approval.

Most impact replacements run $900 to $2,200 per opening, depending on size and manufacturer.

The estimate is free and the quote is line-item, so you’ll see exactly where the money goes.
Yes, we do it regularly in this town. The rough opening from a mid-century jalousie bay doesn’t accept a standard impact frame, so we order a custom or specially sized HVHZ-approved unit to fit. We measure twice, order once, and the finished opening is square and sealed. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule a free estimate.
Because Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a few blocks wide and every structure gets direct Atlantic salt spray. Original aluminum frames from the 1950s through 1970s have been oxidizing in that salt for decades, and once the frame goes, the seal follows. Marine-grade replacement frames and hardware are the fix, not a patch.
No. We quote upfront and the number on the written line-item quote is the number you pay unless you add scope. No surprise change orders, no “we found something” add-ons unless you approve them in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 for a square deal on your next window or door job in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

What Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Customers Say

- Ronald P."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."Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
