Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Margate’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company

TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company carries years of craft tradition into every opening we measure. Margate homeowners call us because we know what their houses were built with: original single-pane aluminum, jalousie glass, and sliding doors that have not been touched since LBJ was in office. We have replaced windows on 1960s CBS ranches north of Atlantic Boulevard, on expanded two-stories off Rock Island Road, and inside Century Village units where the HOA review stops most contractors cold. Our 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. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is in writing on every job we do in Margate.

This is a town where word travels. A homeowner off NW 65th Avenue tells a neighbor in the Lakeside community about a crew that showed up when they said they would, kept the job site clean, and filed paperwork without being nagged. That neighbor calls us. We are not a franchise playbook running crews out of a regional call center. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the person who answers knows the difference between a Coral Springs HOA packet and a Century Village dual-gate submittal. That local knowledge is not a nice-to-have in Margate. It is the difference between a window job that gets permitted and done, and a window job that sits half-finished for a month.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Margate

Our Custom Windows & Doors team handles the full scope of replacement and upgrade work in Margate, with a particular focus on the window types this housing stock actually demands. Here is what we do most often here.

Custom Shape Windows

Margate’s 1960s and 1970s construction includes a surprising number of radius, half-round, and trapezoid openings, particularly on the expanded ranch homes along Margate Boulevard and the lakefront streets near NW 78th Avenue. Big-box replacement windows will not fit those rough openings without reframing. We order true custom-shape units, built to the eighth of an inch, with glass packages rated for Broward County’s HVHZ. A custom arch window in Margate typically runs $1,400 to $3,200 installed, depending on glass and framing material, and we can usually have the unit fabricated within two to three weeks.

Impact-Rated Double-Hung and Casement Windows

This is the workhorse replacement for Margate’s 1960s aluminum jalousie and single-pane casement stock. An impact-rated double-hung carrying Miami-Dade NOA, installed in a CBS ranch off NW 65th Avenue, commonly runs $1,150 to $2,600 per opening. That price includes the insulated glass, the HVHZ-rated frame, and the installation. We have installed thousands of these units across the city, and the energy difference alone pays for the job inside a few South Florida summers.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs

Some Margate homeowners want the clean, single-lite look. Others want simulated divided lites that match the mid-century character of the original windows. We can do either, and we can do it without making the window look like an afterthought. With grilles-between-the-glass, the exterior stays dead flat and easy to clean, while the interior reads with the traditional grid a 1968 ranch was built with. This is a design conversation more than a technical one, and Dale Kessler has been having it with South Florida homeowners for four decades.

Commercial Storefront Glazing

Margate’s commercial corridors along State Road 7 and Atlantic Boulevard run on storefront glass, aluminum framing, and the occasional full curtain wall. A small shopfront reglaze in Margate typically runs $2,800 to $9,000 including glass, framing, and installation, with lead times tied to fabrication. We measure, order, and set in a single visit where the job allows, and we do not leave a storefront exposed to the weather any longer than necessary.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate

We service and replace windows and doors from PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines we are authorized to install. PGT and CGI units dominate Margate’s inventory for good reason: both manufacturers hold robust Miami-Dade NOA product approvals that pass Broward County HVHZ review without a fight. If your existing windows came from one of these brands and the seals have failed, we can often order replacement sashes or insulated glass units without tearing out the entire frame. That keeps the cost down and the HOA review scope smaller, which matters in Century Village and other communities with active architectural committees. Parts lead times for Margate jobs typically run one to three weeks, and we do not order a single thing until approvals clear.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Margate Homes

• Fogged dual-pane glass in original aluminum frames. South Florida humidity outpaces what most 1980s-era sealed units can hold. Once argon escapes and the glass fogs every morning, the U-factor is gone and the window is costing you cooling dollars daily. This is a seal failure, and it is the single most common call we take in Margate’s single-family neighborhoods. Replacement requires a unit rated for South Florida moisture loads, not one shipped from a temperate-zone factory line.
• Jalousie windows failing Broward County HVHZ product approval. The original aluminum jalousie windows in Margate’s 1960s CBS tracts do not pass today’s code, plain and simple. A homeowner who tries to patch them up risks non-compliant work and a wind-insurance premium that climbs with every renewal. The fix is full replacement with an impact-rated, Miami-Dade NOA window, and we do that job almost every week.
• Century Village HOA review stoppages. This is the one we get called in to fix after another contractor has already botched it. A west Broward single-family crew starts a unit swap without HOA architectural approval, the committee finds out, and the job halts mid-install with open framing exposed for weeks. In Margate, that approval must come before the county will even accept the permit application. We file both back-to-back so the job never gets to that point.
• Oxidized aluminum frames on lakefront and canal-front homes. Margate’s lakefront lots, especially around the Royal Palm and Oriole neighborhoods, put window frames in constant contact with humid air that carries more salt than people expect. Original aluminum frames pit, oxidize, and bind. We see casement crank mechanisms corroded beyond repair on homes that are otherwise in excellent condition. The solution is a fresh custom unit with corrosion-resistant hardware and a proper flashing detail.
