AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Sunrise
Custom window and door work in Sunrise is not a mail-order job. The city falls entirely inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every permitted replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That single requirement disqualifies most off-the-shelf products sold elsewhere in Florida and pushes virtually every project into fully impact-rated glazing. We know that before we walk your lot off Nob Hill Road or Pine Island Road, because we have done this work across Sunrise long enough to read a concrete-block opening before we put a tape on it. TruePane Windows & Doors handles custom shape windows, storefront glazing, curtain wall systems, and architectural grilles for homeowners and condo associations throughout Sunrise. Call (813) 320-9346 for a square deal and a written quote.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard holds on every custom window we set in Sunrise, whether it is a radius-top unit in a 1970s ranch off Sunset Strip or a full curtain wall on a Sawgrass-area commercial storefront. Our Custom Windows & Doors team works from a simple position: we stand behind the work, the warranty, and the promise, in writing.
Sunrise homeowners call us because we treat a shared wall or a tight parking pad as part of the job, not an afterthought. We have worked condos along Pine Island Road where the association limited staging to one parking space. We pre-cut flashing tape and fusion-welded frames off-site so the crew finished inside a single eight-hour window without a noise complaint. That is what working on a dense Sunrise lot looks like. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and Dale Kessler’s 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Sunrise
Custom Shape Windows
Sunrise’s 1965-1990 housing stock is full of openings that do not fit a stock size: eyebrow transoms over entry doors, octagonal portlights in split-levels off Oakland Park Boulevard, half-rounds in gable ends. We build custom shape windows to match the original lintel line, and in Sunrise that means NOA-rated impact glass with the paunch to hold a permit. A typical radius or trapezoid custom unit runs $900-$2,400 installed, depending on rough opening condition and finish demands.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Storefront work in Sunrise means meeting Broward County’s storm code without interrupting a working business. We have set tempered lites and aluminum entry systems along University Drive and Sunrise Boulevard, staging from a single truck and keeping the threshold open. Most commercial storefront replacements in Sunrise land between $2,800 and $9,500, driven by glass pack thickness, frame condition, and whether we are working after hours.
Curtain Wall Systems
On low-rise office and retail buildings in Sunrise, curtain wall replacement is a structural conversation, not a glass swap. We work with the original anchor layout, replace rotted mullion boots, and tie into existing concrete block with through-bolted dead loads. Given HVHZ wind pressures, Sunrise curtain wall jobs typically run $40-$95 per square foot, with engineering stamps and permits included in the quote.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
For homeowners who want the look of divided lites without losing the impact rating, we build architectural grilles and simulated divided lites into the insulated glass unit itself. That matters in Sunrise because exterior muntins catch wind debris and void the NOA listing. Interior-mounted SDL bars inside a sealed IG unit keep the manufacturer’s wind-load certification intact. Expect $180-$420 per opening for grille upgrades on new custom units.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote them side by side on paper so a Sunrise homeowner sees exactly what they are buying. For custom work in this market we go most often to PGT, CGI, and Simonton: PGT for impact-rated custom shapes with quick Florida lead times, CGI for heavy commercial and storefront packages, and Simonton for tight-budget retrofit lines that still clear Broward County code. Because we order direct and stock local parts, the turnaround on a Sunrise warranty part is measured in days, not a weeks-long factory queue.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Original single-pane aluminum frames with dead seals and oxidized sashes: The 1965-1990 tract boom left Sunrise with thousands of CBS homes still on their first windows. Those aluminum frames pit and oxidize quickly in salt-laden humid air, and the insulated glass units from the 1980s have long since lost their argon. New NOA-rated units cannot reuse the old jambs, so a “repair” becomes a full tear-out and reset.
- Jalousie windows in condo bathrooms and secondary rooms: Along the Pine Island Road and Nob Hill Road corridors, many 1970s condo associations still run original louvered glass. Those cannot be retrofit or repaired into HVHZ compliance. Every call for a jalousie fix in Sunrise ends as a full replacement with NOA-approved casements or fixed lites.
- Pitted sliding glass door tracks that bind the sash: Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on unrated sliding door tracks. The rollers fail long before the glass. In Sunrise we see this on the original patio sliders of the 1980s, and the predictable fix is a full impact-rated door package, not a roller swap.
- Out-of-square concrete block openings: CBS construction moves over decades, and a 1980s rough opening is rarely square by the time a homeowner is ready for custom glass. We measure every opening twice and build the frame to the actual dimensions, not the original plan. That is the difference between a window that seats true and one that leaks air in a July thunderstorm.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Sunrise
Do custom window replacements in Sunrise always require a Miami-Dade NOA?
Yes, every permitted custom window or door replacement in Sunrise requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, because the entire city sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. There is no waiver for aesthetic glass, no exemption for homes built before the code changed, and no contractor variance that skips the NOA. If a quote for Sunrise does not include NOA-rated product, walk away from that quote. We build every Sunrise quote around NOA-listed glass from day one.
Can you repair the jalousie windows in my older Sunrise condo, or do they have to be replaced?
They have to be replaced. Jalousie windows, the louvered glass units common in 1970s and 1980s condos along Pine Island Road and Nob Hill Road, cannot be repaired or retrofit into HVHZ compliance. The clips, the glass louvers, and the frame channels are all non-compliant under current Broward County code. A jalousie removal turns a maintenance call into a full window replacement, so plan the budget for a complete NOA-approved unit, not a repair visit.
How does staging and parking work for a window install on a tight Sunrise lot?
On a tight Sunrise lot, the staging plan is part of the quote. We ask before we schedule: where can the truck park, where does the cut glass rail go, and does the association restrict work hours or staging spaces. On a 1970s condo off Pine Island Road with one parking space for crew, we pre-cut flashing tape and fusion-welded frames off-site, then installed inside a single eight-hour window. Tell us your parking reality up front and we will build the schedule around it.
Do I need to notify my condo association before replacing windows in Sunrise?
Yes, if you live in a condo or townhome association in Sunrise. Florida law and most association governing documents require written notice before any unit modification that touches the exterior envelope. Many Sunrise associations along Pine Island Road and Nob Hill Road also have approved product lists and architectural review committees. We can help you pull together the manufacturer specs and NOA documentation the board will ask for, but the notice itself comes from the homeowner.
What is the difference between U-factor and SHGC for Sunrise custom windows?
U-factor measures how well the window insulates against heat flow; lower is better. SHGC, the solar heat gain coefficient, measures how much solar radiation passes through the glass; lower means less heat gain. In Sunrise, where the HVAC load is driven by sun more than by cold air, SHGC matters more than U-factor. A low-E coated impact glass with an SHGC of 0.25 or below will keep a west-facing Sunrise family room noticeably cooler in August than a clear-glass unit, regardless of the U-factor printed on the sticker.
