Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Boulevard Gardens’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re not the cheapest bid in Boulevard Gardens, and we don’t try to be. The homeowners who call us have been burned once already, usually by a big-box install crew that ordered the wrong size for a jalousie opening and walked away leaving a gap caulked shut. That doesn’t happen on our jobs. We measure every opening twice, in person, before we quote. We write the manufacturer warranty terms on paper next to the price, and we register both warranty layers before our truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every window we set in Boulevard Gardens.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and local. They know the difference between a 1958 CBS ranchette and a 1965 block home, and they know what Broward County unincorporated permitting expects for infill window work. TruePane is owned by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the rule on the whiteboard hasn’t changed since day one: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Homeowners in Boulevard Gardens call us because we answer the phone, show up when we say, and stand behind the work with a 90-Day Done Right Promise, no paperwork fights.
Our Window Replacement Services in Boulevard Gardens
Full Frame Replacement
Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum frames in Boulevard Gardens were set into concrete block openings in the 1950s and 60s. They were never designed for modern impact-rated glass. Full frame replacement removes the old frame completely, down to the block, so we can assess the steel lintel above, build proper buck framing where needed, and set a window that actually fits the opening. In Boulevard Gardens, this is often the only correct path when the original frame is corroded, the opening is non-standard, or the homeowner wants a real hurricane-rated installation.
Insert Window Replacement
For homeowners whose existing frames are still square and structurally sound, an insert window keeps the original frame and sets a new, energy-efficient unit inside it. This works on some Boulevard Gardens homes, but not all. Jalousie openings are narrower and taller than most modern insert sizes, so we’ll tell you honestly if an insert won’t fit before you spend money on it. Inserts typically run $900-$1,800 per opening here, and they’re a good option when the frame is true and the lintel above is intact.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
The heat and humidity in Boulevard Gardens punishes old single-pane glass. Any original jalousie window is leaking conditioned air twelve months a year, and your cooling bill shows it. We install energy-efficient replacement windows with low-E coatings and argon or krypton fill, matched to the orientation of each window on your home. In Boulevard Gardens, a west-facing opening on a CBS block wall absorbs heat all afternoon, so the glass spec matters more than people expect. We quote manufacturer lines side by side, on paper, so you see the U-factor and SHGC for each option before you choose.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows are a practical middle path for some Boulevard Gardens homes, especially where a full replacement isn’t in the budget this year. A well-fitted exterior storm window adds a second air barrier and can cut heat transfer through old single-pane glass by roughly half. But in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, storm windows alone won’t bring a home into code compliance. We’ll tell you that upfront. If hurricane protection is the goal, impact-rated replacement windows are the answer. If energy efficiency on a modest budget is the goal, storm windows can help.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boulevard Gardens
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and Simonton. Those three matter in Boulevard Gardens because they carry Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code Notices of Acceptance for HVHZ installation, which Broward County requires for replacement windows. We quote these lines side by side so you see exactly what the glass warranty covers, how long the frame finish is warranted, and what the impact rating actually certifies. We order directly from manufacturers, not through a middleman, and everything is sized to your actual opening, never ordered from a catalog guess.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Boulevard Gardens Homes
- Fogged seals on old insulated glass units. Heat and humidity in Broward County cycle constantly, and any non-impact insulated glass unit eventually loses its seal. When you can see fog between the panes, the U-factor is dead and the window is doing nothing for your cooling bill. This is one of the most common service calls we get in Boulevard Gardens.
- Rusted steel lintels hiding above old frames. Original CBS homes frequently have a steel lintel bar set above each window opening. After sixty years of South Florida humidity, those lintels rust, expand, and spall the stucco around the window. You won’t see it until the old frame comes out. We find it often enough in Boulevard Gardens that we include a lintel inspection in every full-frame quote.
- Non-standard jalousie openings that don’t fit modern windows. The original jalousie windows in Boulevard Gardens were sized when louvered glass was the default. Modern replacement windows don’t come in those dimensions. Homeowner-ordered big-box units usually won’t fit without buck framing, and sometimes not even then. Custom sizing is the norm here, not the exception.
- Non-compliant windows that can’t be reinsured. Broward County sits inside the HVHZ, and original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows don’t meet Florida Building Code for wind-borne debris protection. When an insurance carrier flags your windows, or you’re selling the house, that’s when we get the call. Replacing them is a code-compliance job, a hurricane-protection upgrade, and an energy fix all in one.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Boulevard Gardens, FL
A typical insert window replacement in Boulevard Gardens runs $900-$1,800 per opening for a standard size in a sound frame. Full frame replacement on an original jalousie opening runs $1,800-$4,200, and that range accounts for custom sizing, buck framing, new flashing, and stucco repair where the old frame came out. If we find a rusted lintel above the opening, lintel replacement or repair adds $400-$1,200 depending on span and condition. Impact-rated PGT or CGI glass will sit at the higher end of every range, and it’s worth it. Energy-efficient upgrades with low-E and argon run $1,200-$2,600 per window on most Boulevard Gardens homes. We never quote over the phone without seeing the opening. The estimate is free, it’s in writing, and it has the manufacturer warranty durations stated next to the price. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Boulevard Gardens
Boulevard Gardens is unincorporated Broward County, so window replacement permits come from the county rather than a city building department, and the county enforces HVHZ Notice of Acceptance requirements even for infill window work. Fort Lauderdale administers its own permitting, but Boulevard Gardens falls under the county’s jurisdiction, which means every replacement window has to carry a current Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code NOA. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and register the warranty paperwork before we leave your driveway. Call (813) 320-9346 if you want us to check your specific property against county requirements.
Usually not. Original jalousie openings in Boulevard Gardens were sized for louvered glass, and the dimensions don’t match modern standard replacement window sizes. Some homeowners order a big-box replacement window thinking it will drop in, and it won’t. We measure every opening in person and tell you what will actually fit, whether that’s a custom-ordered unit or a full-frame replacement with new buck framing. The free estimate covers the measuring, so call (813) 320-9346 before you order anything.
If the steel lintel above an original Boulevard Gardens window opening is rusted through, the contractor should stop and flag it before setting a new frame. A failed lintel isn’t holding the block above the opening, and the surrounding stucco will keep spalling until it’s addressed. We replace the lintel, buck-frame the opening, and set the new window to county code, then flash and stucco it back clean. This is a known condition in older CBS homes here, and we include lintel inspection in every full-frame quote so it doesn’t show up as a surprise line item later.
Any window that is original jalousie or single-pane aluminum from the 1950s or 60s is not compliant with Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. Compliant windows carry a Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code Notice of Acceptance, and the NOA number is printed on a label on the frame or glass. If your windows don’t have that, they don’t meet current wind-borne debris code. We’ll check every opening during the estimate and tell you exactly what’s compliant and what isn’t. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free assessment.
Yes. A concrete block home with original single-pane jalousie windows is losing conditioned air through every opening, all year. In Boulevard Gardens’s heat and humidity, swapping those for low-E insulated glass with a proper U-factor and SHGC brings measurable cooling load reduction, especially on east- and west-facing walls. The block itself holds heat, but the windows are the weak point. We quote the performance numbers for each window we propose, so you’re not taking anyone’s word for it. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll put the specs on paper for your house.
