AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lauderdale Lakes
Window replacement in Lauderdale Lakes means dealing with a very specific housing stock: concrete block homes built between 1960 and 1980, most still carrying original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows that no longer meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Our crews work these CBS openings every week, off Oakland Park Boulevard, along State Road 7, and through the residential streets north of NW 26th Street. We know what’s behind those aluminum frames before we pull the first screw. Call (786) 743-5882 and a live person will answer, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to schedule your free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re not a franchise operation running crews through Broward from out of state. TruePane was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the rule on his whiteboard hasn’t changed in years of this family’s craft: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Lauderdale Lakes homeowners call us because our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice before quoting anything.
When a Lauderdale Lakes customer calls, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. The same person who answers can tell you when our crew will be in your neighborhood and what a full-frame replacement on a CBS rancher typically involves. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s backed by our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Our scheduling is coordinated from our South Florida office, and crews serve Lauderdale Lakes directly. We sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we plan to be answering the phone in this community thirty years from now.
Our Window Replacement Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement in Lauderdale Lakes means pulling the entire old window out of the concrete opening, down to the masonry. Most of the CBS homes here were built before headers were required in window rough openings, so our crews routinely buck-fill the frame, set masonry anchors, and rebuild the opening before a new impact unit ever goes in. This is the standard path on any home with original jalousie windows or aluminum awning units, and it’s the only way to bring the opening into current HVHZ code without cutting corners. A typical full frame replacement in Lauderdale Lakes runs $900-$1,800 per opening depending on size and whether we’re dealing with a bedroom jalousie or a wide living room awning bank.
Insert Window Replacement
An insert replacement fits a new window inside the existing frame. For Lauderdale Lakes homes where the original frame is still square and structurally sound, this is often the most economical route. However, high humidity in this part of South Florida causes aluminum frame oxidation over decades, and we frequently find the sill track has corroded enough that an insert would sit on compromised metal. We check the frame with a level and a moisture meter before recommending inserts. Expect insert window replacement in Lauderdale Lakes to run $550-$1,100 per opening, though homes with original 1960s frames often need at least partial frame repair that pushes toward full frame pricing.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows make sense in some Lauderdale Lakes applications, but we’re honest about the limits. A storm window over an original single-pane aluminum unit does nothing to meet HVHZ impact requirements. If you’re preparing for hurricane season and want actual protection, a certified impact window is the answer. If you’re looking for a secondary layer on a newer window, storm units are a reasonable option. We quote both side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying. Storm window replacement in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $350-$700 per opening.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing original jalousie windows with fusion-welded, low-E, argon-filled impact units changes the temperature inside a Lauderdale Lakes CBS home. Jalousies leak air constantly. That matters in July when your air conditioner is fighting both the heat and the gaps. Energy-efficient upgrades in Lauderdale Lakes run $700-$1,500 per opening depending on glass package and frame material. We carry CGI, CWS, and ES Windows lines and can put manufacturer specs next to each other so you know the difference between a standard low-E and a high-performance glazing package.

Window Replacement is our core craft, and in Lauderdale Lakes that craft starts with knowing which manufacturer’s certification paperwork passes a Broward County permit inspection on the first visit.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows that fail HVHZ impact code. These were standard in 1960s and 1970s CBS construction. Any permit-triggering remodel exposes the entire opening to code enforcement, and a stop-work order is the last thing you want on a project that’s already underway.
- CBS rough openings without proper header support. The original builders set windows directly into masonry pockets with no header. Modern impact windows need a true, reinforced rough opening, or the frame twists under wind load and leaks at the sill.
- Seal failure from high year-round humidity. Lauderdale Lakes sits far enough inland to avoid the worst salt-spray corrosion, but humidity here still destroys aluminum frames and breaks the seal on old double-pane units. Fog between the panes means the insulating gas is gone and the window is no longer doing its job.
- Hidden rot and moisture infiltration behind old frames. When we pull an original aluminum window out of a Lauderdale Lakes CBS wall, we often find buck wood that’s been quietly rotting for a decade. The frame-to-wall joint was never flashed properly, and the moisture has been working its way into the masonry the whole time. That’s a repair we document and price in writing before we proceed.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Lauderdale Lakes
Yes. Any window replacement in Lauderdale Lakes requires a permit when the opening is altered, and replacing a jalousie almost always means altering the opening because the rough opening was never built to hold a modern impact unit. Our team pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and documents every code requirement. Call (786) 743-5882 and we’ll walk you through what your specific building requires.
Sometimes. If the original frame is square and the masonry opening is sized properly, we can often install an impact window with masonry anchors and buck-filling without full reconstruction. But many 1970s CBS openings in Lauderdale Lakes were built without headers, and those need reinforcement before a certified impact unit can be set. We’ll tell you which situation you have after the first measurement visit. Call (786) 743-5882 for a free assessment.
Fog between the panes means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. South Florida humidity accelerates this in older aluminum-frame windows, and once the seal is gone, the window’s energy performance drops significantly. The fix is replacement, not repair. Call (786) 743-5882 and we’ll measure the opening and quote a sealed unit that holds up in this climate.
Jalousie windows leak air continuously, and replacing them with fusion-welded, low-E, argon-filled impact windows typically cuts the air leakage to nearly zero. Homeowners in Lauderdale Lakes routinely report lower cooling bills after the swap, especially in bedrooms where the jalousies were original. We carry CGI, CWS, and ES Windows lines so you can compare energy ratings and prices on paper. Call (786) 743-5882 for a free quote.
We priced the job with a written allowance before we started, and if we find rotted buck wood, bad wiring, or missing headers behind the old frame, we stop, show you what we found, and put the repair price in writing before we proceed. No surprises on the bill, no work done without your approval. On a 1970s CBS rancher off Oakland Park Boulevard, we found original jalousie bedroom windows with no header reinforcement, just rough masonry pockets. We buck-filled the frames, set new impact-rated casement windows with low-E glass and argon fill, and flashed the jambs with self-adhered tape before reinstalling the interior trim. The inspection passed on the first visit because every allowance was documented and every upgrade was priced in advance. Call (786) 743-5882 for a quote on your Lauderdale Lakes home.
