AfterWindows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point, FL
If you live in Lighthouse Point, you already know the two forces working against every window and door on your house: salt air from the canals and the strictest hurricane code in the country. Most homes here were built between the mid-1950s and mid-1970s, and we still find original single-pane sliders and aluminum jalousie windows sagging in their tracks on canal-front properties off Lighthouse Drive and Venetian Isles. TruePane Windows & Doors has crews working in Lighthouse Point throughout the week, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day at (786) 743-5882. When you call, you will not get a voicemail tree or a callback form. You will get a person who can schedule a free estimate and talk through what your house actually needs.
We are not the cheapest bid in Lighthouse Point. We are the company people call after a cheaper install failed a few years in, or after a hurricane season spent taping X’s across glass that never should have been there in the first place. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every project we take on: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our heritage in this trade runs many years deep, and we plan to be answering the phone in this community thirty years from now.

Why Lighthouse Point Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Lighthouse Point is a specific kind of market. The canal grid means most homeowners are dealing with water-facing elevations, and the housing stock is older ranch-style concrete-block construction that was designed for a different building code entirely. We understand what that means in practical terms, because we have replaced hundreds of windows and doors in neighborhoods like the Venetian Isles and Country Club Isles. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That is our Keystone Standard, and we do it on every single job.
Homeowners in Lighthouse Point call us because they want the work done right the first time, by a company that will still be in town and still pick up the phone if something goes wrong. Our Done Right Promise backs every install: if it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. That promise matters more than a discount, and the people who hire us tend to be the kind who read the fine print on a warranty before signing anything. We respect that.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lighthouse Point
Window Installation
New window installation in Lighthouse Point starts with the right product for the elevation. A canal-facing window gets a different conversation than a street-facing bedroom window, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying and why. Learn more about our Window Installation in Lighthouse Point.
Door Installation
Exterior doors on Lighthouse Point canal homes take a beating most doors never see. We install doors with marine-grade or stainless-steel hardware where the water-facing elevations need it, because standard threshold plates and multi-point lock hardware can corrode through in as little as three to five years here. Learn more about our Door Installation in Lighthouse Point.
Window Replacement
Most window replacement in Lighthouse Point involves pulling out original aluminum single-panes or jalousies that cannot meet current Broward County code. We replace them with HVHZ-rated impact products that carry Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval ratings, and we handle the permit paperwork. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point.
Impact Windows & Doors
Every replacement window or exterior door in Lighthouse Point must carry impact ratings under the Florida Building Code’s HVHZ designation. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and CWS, all of which produce tested and approved impact products for this market. If a product does not meet code here, we will not sell it to you.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-efficient windows in Lighthouse Point do double duty: they cut cooling costs through the long South Florida summer and often carry the same laminated glass benefits that improve storm performance. We quote real U-factor and SHGC numbers, not vague marketing language, so you can compare what matters.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Canal-front living in Lighthouse Point often means a slider or patio door is the main visual connection to the water. Replacing an old aluminum slider with a properly set impact-rated unit changes how the whole room feels, and it is one of the most common projects we do here.
Glass Railing Systems
Homes along the Lighthouse Point canal grid frequently have docks, terraces, or pool decks where a glass railing preserves the water view while meeting code. We install frame and frameless systems, and we treat the hardware spec for salt exposure the same way we do for door hardware.
Custom Windows & Doors
Lighthouse Point has a fair number of homes with uncommon opening sizes, built during an era when builders were not working from standardized product catalogues. When an off-the-shelf unit will not fit true, we order custom windows and doors sized to the actual opening, not shimmed and caulked into submission.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lighthouse Point
We work throughout Lighthouse Point, from the canal-front lots along the Intracoastal to the interior blocks off Sample Road and Federal Highway. Most appointments in the area can be scheduled within a few days, depending on our crew availability that week.

Why Lighthouse Point’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lighthouse Point is built almost entirely on a grid of navigable canals feeding into the Intracoastal Waterway. That geometry is lovely to live with, and it is unrelenting on building materials. The overwhelming majority of single-family homes here have at least one canal-facing elevation exposed to constant salt air and moisture. We regularly see aluminum window frames pitted and flaking on the water side while the street side looks serviceable, and sill pans rusted through behind stucco where the homeowner cannot see it until the window is pulled. This is not a cosmetic issue; it is a structural one.
On top of the salt, Lighthouse Point sits roughly one mile from the Atlantic, and Broward County carries an HVHZ designation under the Florida Building Code. That means every replacement window or exterior door must carry Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval impact ratings, the strictest in the nation. A standard product line sold in inland Broward or elsewhere in South Florida often cannot be permitted here. We see homeowners who bought a non-impact door from a big-box retailer and discovered at permit time they could not legally install it. Do not put yourself in that position. Call us first, and we will quote you products that are actually permitted for Lighthouse Point.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
You need impact-rated products, period. Lighthouse Point falls under Broward County’s HVHZ designation under the Florida Building Code, which means every replacement window or exterior door must carry Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval ratings. Standard non-impact glass cannot be permitted here, and a contractor who tells you otherwise is setting you up for a failed inspection or an unpermitted install. We quote only code-compliant products for Lighthouse Point, because selling anything else would violate the founding rule of this company. Call (786) 743-5882 to see what a permitted product actually costs for your openings.
Window replacement in Lighthouse Point typically runs $900 to $1,800 per opening for a standard impact-rated unit with permit and install, though canal-facing openings with larger sizes or laminate upgrades can push higher. Full-home replacements on the area’s typical mid-century ranch homes usually land between $18,000 and $40,000. Your exact number depends on the product line, opening size, and how much salt damage we find in the existing frames. Estimates are free, and the quote you get is the price you pay. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule one.
The canal air in Lighthouse Point carries enough salt to eat through standard aluminum threshold plates and multi-point lock hardware in as little as three to five years. That is not a defect in the door; it is the wrong hardware spec for the environment. We specify marine-grade or stainless-steel components on any water-facing elevation we work on here, and we verify the spec in writing before install. If your current door hardware is pitting or binding, call (786) 743-5882 and we will tell you what replacement hardware your door actually needs.
No. TruePane quotes line-item pricing on paper before any work is authorized, and we do not add change orders unless you ask us to expand the scope. If we open a wall and find hidden damage, we stop and show you what we found, then give you a written number for the additional work before we touch it. No surprises on the bill is part of a square deal, and a square deal is the only kind we do. Get your fixed quote by calling (786) 743-5882.
We pull every permit required for window and door work in Lighthouse Point and handle the inspections with the city’s building department. Permit paperwork is not optional here, given Broward County’s HVHZ requirements, and we have worked in this jurisdiction long enough to know what inspectors look for. We make sure the permit is closed out properly before we consider the job done. If you have questions about what your project needs, call (786) 743-5882 and ask for a free estimate.

What Lighthouse Point Customers Say
"Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G."Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A.
