AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lighthouse Point
Window replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $800-$2,800 per opening for full-frame impact-rated units, and $450-$1,200 for insert replacements, depending on size, glazing package, and the condition of the existing rough opening. Most canal-front homes here need custom sizing and marine-grade hardware, which standard quotes from inland Broward companies rarely include. If you’re calling around Lighthouse Point, you already know the salt air eats standard hardware faster than anywhere else in the county. Our crews work Lighthouse Point every week, we stock marine-grade stainless fasteners and flashing tape on every truck, and a live person answers at (813) 320-9346 when you call.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve replaced windows on enough Lighthouse Point canal lots to know what this city’s water does to a house. The salt-laden air off the Intracoastal and the canal grid means we quote stainless and PVC-coated hardware as a standard line item, not an upsell. Homeowners here remember the contractor who installed standard steel hardware and disappeared when the locks seized two years later. We plan to be in town in thirty years, which is why our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every rough opening twice before any unit gets ordered.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise that puts the workmanship guarantee on paper. Lighthouse Point homeowners don’t want to fight over a callback. Neither do we.
Our technicians know the 1950s through 1970s CBS stock that dominates this city, the jalousie openings that were common then, and the non-standard rough openings that come with them. That local knowledge means we quote the right unit the first time. Call (813) 320-9346 and you’ll speak to a person, not a voicemail tree, any hour of the day or night.
Our Window Replacement Services in Lighthouse Point
Every replacement job in Lighthouse Point starts with the same question: what’s the salt air doing to this opening? From there, we recommend the right glazing, frame material, and hardware for the specific elevation and exposure. Here’s what we handle most often in this city.
Full Frame Replacement
Full-frame replacement in Lighthouse Point means removing the old window down to the rough opening, repairing or reframing the jamb, and setting a new unit with full flashing at every sill and side. Most 1950s-1970s homes here have rough openings that don’t match modern stock sizes, so custom-sized impact units are the norm. We frame in new jambs as needed, flash everything, and set the new unit square. A typical full-frame impact replacement on a canal-front Lighthouse Point home runs $1,400-$2,800 per opening, including custom sizing and marine-grade hardware.
Insert Window Replacement
If the existing frame is still sound, an insert replacement sets a new window inside the old frame. This works on some Lighthouse Point CBS homes where the concrete opening is square and the frame hasn’t been corroded by canal air. Inserts run $450-$1,200 per opening here. We’ll tell you honestly if your frame is too far gone for an insert and a full-frame job is the only way to get a square, watertight result.
Storm Window Replacement
Lighthouse Point sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so storm window replacement isn’t optional protection here. It’s the code. We replace old storm units with HVHZ-certified impact glazing that carries the Florida product approval number for the opening size. For canal-front homes, we specify laminated impact glass with argon fill and marine-grade hardware so the unit survives both the wind load and the daily salt bath.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Those original aluminum single-pane windows on a 1960s Lighthouse Point ranch lose conditioned air all year. Replacing them with low-E, argon-filled units cuts the cooling load in summer and the moisture load in the ten humid months. On canal lots, the added benefit is a sealed interior glass surface that doesn’t fog or collect salt haze. Energy-efficient replacement here typically runs $700-$1,800 per opening, depending on glazing package and frame material.
Historic Window Restoration
Some Lighthouse Point homeowners want to keep the original 1950s mullion pattern or the distinctive jalousie look without giving up impact protection. We restore and rebuild these openings with custom-milled frames and new impact glazing set to match the original sightlines. This is detail work that takes longer and costs more, but on certain houses it’s the right call. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs before you commit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Lighthouse Point work we lean on brands that build true marine-grade hardware and HVHZ-certified impact units. Andersen, ES Windows are the three we quote most often on canal-front homes because their stainless hardware and PVC-coated frames hold up to salt-laden humidity. We stock flashing tape, stainless fasteners, and common replacement hardware for Lighthouse Point customers, which means fewer second trips. You’ll get side-by-side quotes on paper so you see exactly what each line costs before you spend a dollar.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Corroded hardware on interior-facing windows. Because a canal-front lot in Lighthouse Point is flanked by water on two or three sides, even rear windows that never see the ocean pick up salt. We regularly find steel locks and pivot bars corroded to failure within a few years of installation. That’s why we quote stainless and marine-grade hardware as standard on every opening, not as an add-on.
- Fogged, seal-failed insulated glass units. The persistent salt-laden humidity off the canals attacks sealant edges on glass units, causing premature fogging. Many Lighthouse Point homes show failed seals on units less than ten years old, especially on the canal-facing elevations. The fix is a full replacement with low-E, argon-filled glass and a proper glazing package, not a reseal.
- Non-standard rough openings from the 1950s-1970s. Lighthouse Point’s CBS ranches and two-story homes were built with jalousie openings and odd dimensions that modern stock impact units won’t fit. Contractors who try to force a stock unit end up with air leaks, water intrusion, and a failed inspection. We measure every opening twice and order custom-sized units or frame in new jambs as the opening requires.
- Vinyl frames breaking down faster than expected. On canal lots, the constant heat, UV, and salt haze stress vinyl extrusions. We specify anodized or PVC-coated aluminum frames with stainless fasteners for Lighthouse Point because that combination lasts longer here than standard vinyl. The frame is what holds the window square, and the salt air doesn’t give it any slack.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point
Because the salt air off the canals is omnidirectional. A canal-front lot in Lighthouse Point has water on two or three sides, so even rear windows that never face the ocean pick up salt-laden humidity. Standard steel hardware corrodes within a few years of installation. We quote marine-grade hardware as a standard line item, not an option, because that’s what this city’s microclimate demands. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll show you the difference on paper before you order.
Not in most Lighthouse Point homes, no. The jalousie openings on 1950s-1970s CBS houses here are non-standard dimensions that modern stock impact units won’t fit. You need either custom-sized impact units or a full-frame replacement with new jambs and flashing. We measure every opening twice, quote both options side by side, and frame in new jambs when the opening requires it. Call (813) 320-9346 for a measurement and a straight answer on your specific openings.
Look for fog between the glass panes that doesn’t wipe off, a white haze on the interior glass surface, or condensation trapped inside the unit. That’s a failed seal, and it happens faster in Lighthouse Point because salt-laden humidity attacks the sealant edges. A failed seal isn’t repairable; the unit needs replacement. We replace fogged units with low-E, argon-filled glass and register both warranty layers before we leave. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free inspection.
For canal-front Lighthouse Point homes, we recommend laminated impact glass with low-E coating and argon fill, set in anodized or PVC-coated aluminum frames with stainless hardware. That package meets Broward County’s HVHZ code, holds the wind load, blocks the salt, and cuts the cooling bill. We quote this as the standard package for canal lots, with the manufacturer warranty registered in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through the exact specification for your elevation and exposure.
Because the canal-side humidity and driving rain in Lighthouse Point will find any unflashed joint. Flashing tape at every jamb and sill seals the water out before the window is set, which is the difference between a window that lasts twenty years and one that rots the jamb in five. It’s a standard step in every full-frame job we do here, not an upsell. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule your free estimate and see the process before you commit.
