AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lauderhill
Window replacement in Lauderhill runs anywhere from $85 to $160 per square foot for code-compliant HVHZ impact-rated units, and most full-frame jobs land between $9,500 and $19,000 depending on how the original 1960s or 1970s framing holds up once the wall is opened. TruePane Windows & Doors is the last call you should need to make on a window job in this city, and our crews work Lauderhill neighborhoods like Broward Estates, Inverrary, and St. George every week. If you’re looking at original jalousie louvered windows or thin aluminum single-hungs that fog, bind, or leak during summer thunderstorms, those units cannot be retrofitted under Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. They get torn out and replaced. Call (813) 320-9346 and a live person answers, any hour of any day, to schedule your free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on one rule that still hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every opening we measure, every jamb we shim, and every warranty we register in Lauderhill and across South Florida. Homeowners here who have lived in the same CBS ranch or low-rise condo since the 1980s tend to know exactly what a fogged seal and a door that binds in July feels like. They also remember the contractor who left them with that problem. We build our reputation in the opposite direction, background-checked and uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
Our Window Replacement team works from a South Florida office in Miami, but the crews who serve Lauderhill are local hires, trained from apprentice to journeyman, and they know what a 1962 jalousie rough opening looks like before the first screw comes out. That local knowledge matters here because Lauderhill’s housing stock is not like the rest of Broward. The homes are concrete block and stucco, built between roughly 1959 and the early 1980s, and the original openings were framed undersized relative to modern HVHZ-rated unit dimensions. A contractor who does not know that will order the wrong unit, hit the wall, and hand you a change order. We write the rough-opening inspection into the quote before we order anything.
Our Window Replacement Services in Lauderhill
Full Frame Replacement
Full-frame replacement in Lauderhill means pulling the entire window down to the bare rough opening, and on a 1960s or 1970s CBS home that usually means finding exactly what the original builder left behind. Undersized openings. Rotted jamb extensions from decades of jalousie leaks. Stucco that has to be cut back and repaired after the new unit is set. A full-frame job in Lauderhill typically runs $1,100 to $2,400 per opening installed, including the HVHZ-rated unit, new flashing, and stucco patching. If the opening is out of square or the framing is soft, the change order is written, photographed, priced, and signed before we touch the wall. No surprise line items after the fact.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement works when the existing frame is still square, dry, and sound enough to carry a new HVHZ-rated sash. In Lauderhill that is less common than homeowners expect, because most original aluminum frames from the 1960s and 1970s have hairline cracks, failed corner seals, and gasket rot from 40-plus years of humidity and UV. We will tell you honestly if an insert is workable or if the frame needs to come out. Inserts in Lauderhill run $650 to $1,300 per opening when the frame passes inspection and no stucco work is required.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm window replacement in Lauderhill is not the same as a seasonal glass swap up north. Here, a storm-rated unit means a fully tested impact window carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, rated for the same design wind speed as oceanfront Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood. Original jalousie louvered windows have a NOA rating of nothing. They were never impact rated and cannot be made compliant. Replacing a jalousie with a NOA-certified impact single-hung or picture window runs $1,400 to $2,800 per opening in Lauderhill, depending on size and the condition of the rough opening. Most of those jobs require full-frame replacement because the vintage openings are too small for modern impact units.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
An energy-efficient window upgrade in Lauderhill is not just about lower electric bills, though low-E argon-filled Simonton or PGT double-pane units do cut cooling cost meaningfully in a house that runs air conditioning nine months of the year. The bigger issue is humidity. South Florida’s wet-season air finds every failed gasket and every warped aluminum frame, and water intrusion in a CBS home shows up as efflorescence on the interior stucco long before you see an active leak. Energy-efficient replacements in Lauderhill, with low-E coating and insulated frames rated for the HVHZ, run $800 to $1,700 per opening for inserts and $1,200 to $2,500 for full-frame work. Both numbers include haul-off, flashing, and disposal.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill
TruePane is an authorized ES Windows service in Lauderhill and installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Lauderhill’s HVHZ market we quote Simonton, PGT, and CGI most often because their impact-rated product lines are proven in Broward County’s design wind speeds and their warranty paperwork is consistent. We stock common replacement parts for these manufacturers in South Florida, which means a sash replacement or hardware fix on a Simonton unit does not sit for two weeks while a distributor ships from out of state. The quote comes on paper, side by side, so you see exactly what you are buying and why. Andersen, Pella, and Marvin are also available for homeowners who want a specific look or a matching line across a whole building.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Original jalousie windows that cannot be brought to code. Lauderhill’s 1960s and 1970s homes were built with jalousie louvered glass, and those units fail every HVHZ permit inspection because they have no NOA rating and no impact resistance. The fix is a full tear-out and replacement with a NOA-certified impact unit, not a glass swap. We handle the permit and the inspection.
- Undersized rough openings on vintage CBS construction. The original openings on many Lauderhill homes are two to three inches too narrow for a modern HVHZ-rated single-hung or double-hung. A contractor who skips the rough-opening inspection orders the wrong unit, opens the wall, and then has to reframe at surprise cost. We inspect first, quote the reframe in writing, and get signed approval before work starts.
- Water intrusion through failed jalousie seals. Lauderhill’s near-daily summer thunderstorms expose every compromised jalousie seal as an immediate leak point. Water runs down the inside face of the stucco, rots the jamb framing, and shows up as bubbling paint or efflorescence on the drywall. By the time you see it, the framing behind the window is usually already damaged. Addressing it early saves the opening, and often the wall.
- Condo buildings flagged under post-Surfside milestone inspections. Lauderhill has a large stock of 1970s condo associations, and the new Florida milestone inspection law is dragging those buildings into compliance. Inspectors are flagging original sliding glass doors and aluminum windows that were never NOA-certified, which triggers whole-building replacement bids handled at the board level. That is a different permitting and pricing process than a single-family home on NW 47th Avenue, and we handle both.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Lauderhill, FL
Window replacement in Lauderhill costs more per opening than the national average because every permitted unit has to meet the same HVHZ impact standard as oceanfront property, even on a home a dozen miles inland. A typical full-frame impact replacement runs $1,100 to $2,400 per opening. Inserts run $650 to $1,300 when the existing frame passes inspection. A whole-home job on a 1,500-square-foot CBS ranch with ten openings typically lands between $12,000 and $22,000. The most significant variable is what we find behind the wall. Vintage rough openings in Lauderhill are frequently undersized, and rotted framing from old jalousie leaks is common. Those costs are unavoidable under code, but they should be priced and approved in writing before work begins, not sprung on you at the punch list. We write that standard into every Lauderhill quote. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free, measured, line-item estimate.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Lauderhill
No, a whole-building window and door replacement triggered by a Florida milestone inspection is permitted at the building level, not unit by unit. The HOA or condo board pulls the master permit, and the entire association is covered under one application, one inspection schedule, and one contractor. Your cost is assessed through the association, usually as a special assessment. If your board is putting this out to bid, call (813) 320-9346. TruePane has handled whole-building HVHZ replacements and can walk your property manager through the NOA paperwork and the inspection timeline. Estimates are free.
No, not in a way that meets Broward County code. A jalousie frame was never designed or tested to hold a laminated impact lite, and no glass-only retrofit will carry a Miami-Dade NOA. If your jalousie windows are still original and you want impact protection or a passing permit inspection, the entire unit gets torn out and replaced with a NOA-certified impact window. That means full-frame work, including new flashing and stucco patching. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate. We will show you exactly what the opening needs.
Because in Lauderhill’s 1960s and 1970s CBS homes, the original rough openings are frequently undersized relative to modern HVHZ-rated window dimensions, and the only way to know is to open the wall and measure the actual framing. That inspection happens before we order a single unit. If we skipped it, we would risk ordering the wrong size, hitting the wall, and presenting you with a surprise change order. You pay for the inspection either way, but doing it up front means the cost is known before work begins and the change order is priced and signed in writing before we touch the opening. Call (813) 320-9346 to talk through the process.
Not necessarily. A sliding patio door in Lauderhill is a separate opening from a window, and a milestone inspection finding on one does not automatically condemn the other. However, if the inspection report flags the door because the entire building’s original aluminum fenestration was never NOA-certified, the same finding almost always applies to the windows, because they were installed in the same era with the same standards, or lack of them. The correct next step is a building-wide fenestration review to confirm what carries a NOA and what does not. We can walk the property with your inspector or property manager and put that review together. Call (813) 320-9346.
We write a change order. The process is simple and it protects both sides. Our crew opens the wall, photographs everything we find, and writes a specific line-item price for the new framing, jamb extensions, flashing tape, and any additional waterproofing required. That change order is presented to you before we do any of the work, and nothing happens until you sign it. We do not proceed on a verbal okay, and we do not bury the cost in the final bill. Our field vignette from a 1968 ranch off NW 47th Avenue is the exact scenario. The original rough opening was two inches too narrow for any code-compliant impact single-hung, and the framing was rotted from decades of jalousie leaks. We stopped, documented it, priced the repair, and got the homeowner’s written approval before we touched the wall. The Simonton low-E argon double-hung that went in is square and watertight. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule your free estimate, and you’ll know exactly how this works before we ever set a ladder.
