Frequently Asked Questions - Windows & Doors in Deerfield Beach, FL
Straight answers to the questions Deerfield Beach homeowners ask us most. If you don't see yours here, call (786) 743-5882 and ask us directly.
Pricing & Cost FAQs
For most Deerfield Beach homes, full-frame window replacement typically runs $600 to $1,200 per opening installed, while insert replacements usually land between $400 and $850 per window. Impact-rated windows, which many coastal Broward County homes carry, push the higher end of those ranges. The honest answer depends on three things: the size and count of openings, the frame material, and whether you need impact glass for hurricane code compliance. The best way to get a true number is a written line-item quote. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule a free estimate, and you'll have exact figures on paper before you decide anything.
A new front entry door in Deerfield Beach generally costs $1,800 to $5,500 installed, depending on material, glass options, and whether the frame needs rebuilding. A basic steel door starts on the lower end, while a fiberglass wood-grain door with decorative glass and impact rating sits higher. We quote doors the same way we quote windows: line by line, with the manufacturer's price and our labor shown separately, so there are no surprises on the bill. The written estimate is free, and the price we give is the price you pay. Call (786) 743-5882 to get yours.
Impact windows cost more because they are built differently: laminated glass with a polymer interlayer, reinforced frames, and heavier hardware engineered to hold against windborne debris during a South Florida hurricane. Standard windows are not tested to Miami-Dade or Broward County impact standards, and in coastal zones like Deerfield Beach, the building code often requires impact-rated products or shutters. The extra cost buys a window that protects more than the glass, it protects the envelope of the house. If you are not sure whether your home requires impact rating, call (786) 743-5882 and we'll walk you through the code requirements for your neighborhood.
Yes. Every estimate we provide in Deerfield Beach is free, and it comes in writing. Dale Kessler built this branch on a simple rule: the homeowner should see the full scope, the manufacturer's pricing, and the labor cost laid out clearly before signing anything. You will not get a vague number over the phone or a handwritten scrap that changes later. You will get a line-item quote, and the price we quote is the price we honor. To schedule yours, call (786) 743-5882. We will come out, measure, and give you the quote on paper.
No, not on a TruePane job. We quote fixed pricing with no change orders unless you ask us to expand the scope. If we open a wall and find hidden rot or an out-of-code opening, we stop, show you exactly what we found, and give you a written change before any additional work happens. That is the Keystone Standard: no surprises on the bill. The price you approve is the price you pay. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule a free estimate and see the numbers for yourself.
Service & Process FAQs
We start with a free in-home consultation: we measure every opening, check for water intrusion and frame condition, and talk through the options that fit your house and your budget. Then you get a written line-item quote with manufacturer names and warranty terms spelled out. Once you approve, we order the windows, schedule the install, and our crew arrives on the day we agreed. Most residential window jobs in Deerfield Beach take one to three days depending on the count. We register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. Call (786) 743-5882 to start.
For a typical single-family home in Deerfield Beach, a full window replacement takes one to three working days of installation, depending on how many openings and whether any frames need repair. Lead time for the windows themselves runs two to six weeks, because most of what we install is built to order. We will tell you the schedule up front, in writing, and we will be there when we say. If you need a faster turnaround, ask us about which product lines are in stock regionally. Call (786) 743-5882 for a timeline specific to your home.
We will replace a single window, and we will do it with the same care we give a whole-house job. That is the point of the K.E.Y.S. code: every time means the 400th job gets the care of the first, and the single-window job gets the same attention as the twenty-window job. Some companies will not bother with a one-off, but a leaky or failed window in Deerfield Beach does not fix itself, and leaving it invites water damage. Call (786) 743-5882 and we will come measure it.
Yes. We replace sliding glass doors, French doors, and patio door systems in Deerfield Beach. Coastal homes lean hard on their sliders, and the salt air here is not kind to cheap rollers and thin frames. We carry impact-rated door systems that meet Broward County code, and we set the door in a true opening, sealed and squared so it glides for years. A slider that binds or leaks is an opening that is out of true, and truing the opening is the whole craft. Call (786) 743-5882 for a free estimate on your patio door.
We handle both replacement and new construction for residential work in the Deerfield Beach area. For new builds and additions, we work from the architectural plans, and we coordinate with the general contractor on scheduling and rough openings. For remodels, we often work around existing framing and bring the opening back to true before setting the new unit. Either way, the standard is the same: measure twice, set square, seal it right, and register both warranty layers. Call (786) 743-5882 to talk through your project.
Yes. Our crew removes the old windows, hauls away the debris, and leaves the job site clean. We do not leave old sashes stacked by the curb for you to figure out. Disposal is included in the written quote, not added as a line item after the fact. That is part of working in your house the way we would work in our mother's. If you are replacing a lot of windows, ask us about the best way to stage the work so you are not living in a construction zone longer than necessary. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule a free estimate.
You do not need to do much. We ask that you clear a path to each opening, move furniture and valuables a few feet away from the work area, and take down window treatments so they are not damaged. Our crew will lay down drop cloths and protect the floors. Exterior work happens from both sides, so we will need access to the outside of each opening, but we will coordinate all of that with you ahead of time. On install day, the crew lead will walk the site with you before work begins. Call (786) 743-5882 with any questions about your specific setup.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We carry several manufacturer lines and will quote them side by side on paper so you can compare honestly. Among the brands we commonly install in Deerfield Beach are CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. Each has strengths: CGI is known for heavy-duty impact-rated products, ES Windows for aluminum and modern architectural profiles, and ECO for value without giving up the impact rating. We will not push you toward the most expensive line; we will show you what fits your house and your budget. Call (786) 743-5882 to talk through your options.
We source doors from manufacturers who build to the same standard we demand: frames that stay true, hardware that holds, and glass that is tested to South Florida code. Our lineup includes impact-rated entry systems, fiberglass and steel door slabs, and sliding and French patio doors. If you want specific manufacturer options for your Deerfield Beach home, we will lay them out in your written estimate with pricing for each. Call (786) 743-5882 and ask, we will tell you exactly what is available.
We can usually match the style and approximate the look of your existing windows, though exact matches depend on whether the original manufacturer is still making that line. If an exact match is not available, we will show you the closest options and explain the differences honestly, so you can decide. For Deerfield Beach homes with a mix of old and new windows, we often recommend replacing a full elevation or side of the house at once, so the look is consistent and the performance is even. Call (786) 743-5882 and we will take a look.
Most of the time, when a window fails, the right fix is the whole unit. A fogged double pane is a failed seal, and the gas between the panes is gone. Replacing just the glass in an old frame leaves you with the frame's remaining life, which may be short, especially in Deerfield Beach's salt air and sun. That said, glass-only replacement (often called an insert glass retrofit) can make sense for some impact window systems. We will tell you straight which path fits your situation. Call (786) 743-5882 for an honest assessment.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Every pro working under the TruePane name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We are also insured and bonded as a company, and we are glad to show you proof before work begins. In Florida, window and door installation falls under contractor licensing rules, and we comply with all applicable requirements in Broward County. You should always ask any contractor you are considering for their credentials, and we will never be offended by the question. Call (786) 743-5882 and we will walk you through our documentation.
Yes. When a permit is required for your job, we pull it, and the work is inspected and passed before we call the job done. Deerfield Beach and Broward County have specific code requirements, especially for impact-rated openings, and we make sure your installation meets them. Permits are not a nuisance; they are the proof that the work was done right, to code, and will hold up in a storm. The permit cost is part of your written quote, not an after-the-fact surprise. Call (786) 743-5882 to discuss what your specific project requires.
TruePane operates as a local branch in Deerfield Beach, and every pro working under our name is required to meet the licensing and insurance standards their state requires. What matters most to us is simple: whoever shows up at your door works to the Keystone Standard, respects your home, and stands behind the work. If anything is not right, we come back, no paperwork and no arguing. That is the standard, and it applies to every job we take. Call (786) 743-5882 to meet the team and see how we work.
Emergency & Response FAQs
First, keep your family away from the broken glass and move valuables out of the path of wind and rain. Cover the opening from the inside if it is safe to do so, using plywood or a heavy tarp secured against the frame. Do not attempt to replace or board a second-floor window from a ladder during high winds. When the storm passes, call (786) 743-5882 and we will get you on the schedule. Our hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and we will assess the damage and give you a written quote for the fix.
Yes, and we see this often in Deerfield Beach, where humidity and salt air work on rollers and tracks. A stuck slider is usually a roller failure, a track that has warped out of level, or a frame that has settled. We can assess whether the door needs new rollers and a track adjustment or whether the frame itself has moved, and we will tell you the truth either way. Forcing a heavy glass door can damage the frame and the glass, so do not muscle it. Call (786) 743-5882 and we will take a look.
We schedule estimates during our regular business hours, Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. We work hard to get to your home quickly, and we'll be there when we say we will. When you call (786) 743-5882, a live coordinator will answer and connect you with the local team, and we will set a time that works for you. The estimate is free, and you'll have your written quote in hand before we leave.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
We carry two warranty layers, and we put both in writing. First, the manufacturer's warranty covers the product: glass, frame, finish, and for impact-rated units, the structural performance rating. Second, we register both layers before we leave your driveway, so the paperwork is done, not left for you to figure out. For our workmanship, the Keystone Standard applies: 90 days on our labor, durations stated, no arguing. If something is not right, we come back. Call (786) 743-5882 and ask for the warranty details in writing.
Our 90-day workmanship warranty covers the installation itself: the unit is set square and plumb, sealed properly, operates smoothly, and the opening is not leaking. If an installation issue shows up within 90 days, we fix it at no charge, no paperwork and no arguing. That is the Keystone Standard: both warranty layers in writing, durations stated, 90 days on our workmanship, and we stand behind it. If you have a concern after the job, call (786) 743-5882 and we will make it right.
Yes. The manufacturer's warranty applies to the product itself, and one of the jobs we take seriously is registering that warranty correctly. We register both warranty layers, manufacturer and workmanship, before the crew leaves the driveway. That means the paperwork is filed, the coverage is active, and you have the documentation in hand. A warranty that only works if the installer stays in business is not much of a warranty, which is why Dale Kessler and his team make registration part of the standard installation process. Call (786) 743-5882 with any warranty questions.
If a window fails after installation, the first step is call (786) 743-5882. We will ask a few questions, schedule a visit, and figure out whether the issue is a product defect covered by the manufacturer's warranty or an installation issue covered by our 90-day workmanship warranty. A fogged sealed unit, a frame that binds, a leak around the opening, we will diagnose it honestly. If it is on us, we fix it. That is the whole craft: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call us and we will make it right.
