Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Lighthouse Point
Impact window and door replacement in Lighthouse Point is not the same job it is ten miles inland. The salt air that rolls off the Intracoastal and across the canal grid eats aluminum thresholds, pocks glass, and works its way behind flashing in a way that standard Broward County window specs simply don’t account for. TruePane Windows & Doors has been installing and servicing impact-rated windows and doors on Lighthouse Point canal-front homes long enough to know exactly what fails here and what survives. Call (786) 743-5882 and we’ll send a technician who understands this city’s particular mix of HVHZ code requirements and salt-driven corrosion, not a sales rep with a generic brochure.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Homeowners in Lighthouse Point tend to keep their houses for a long time. A lot of the ranch-style concrete-block homes along NE 31st Avenue and the canal-side streets off Lighthouse Drive were built in the 1960s and early 1970s, and the people who live in them now are often the second or third owners. They’ve watched a neighbor’s “bargain” impact install fail at the threshold plate in year four. They ask harder questions. That’s the customer we work for.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re not a franchise, not a regional call center, and not the cheapest bid in the room. We’re a local glazing company whose technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice before quoting. When a Lighthouse Point homeowner calls, a live person answers, day or night. And every job, from a single replacement window on a canal-facing bedroom to a full impact door package, is covered by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point
Our Impact Windows & Doors team handles the full scope of hurricane protection for Lighthouse Point homes, with a focus on the three products that matter most on the canal grid: impact windows, impact sliding glass doors, and impact entry or French doors. Every install is spec’d for both HVHZ wind pressures and the salt environment that comes with living a block from tidal water.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most of the original windows in Lighthouse Point are either aluminum jalousie or single-pane sliders from the mid-century build-out, and under current Broward County code they are not hurricane-eligible products. We replace them with impact-rated windows carrying Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval ratings, and we specify frames and hardware that can stand up to canal-side salt exposure. A typical impact window replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $900 to $1,800 per opening installed, depending on size, frame material, and glass package.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Canal-facing sliders take a beating here, and the failure point is usually the track and the lock hardware, not the glass. We install impact-rated sliding glass doors with marine-grade stainless rollers and tracks on any elevation that faces water, and we re-flash the rough opening with butyl tape before the door goes in. On a Lighthouse Point canal-front home, a new impact sliding glass door typically runs $4,500 to $9,000 installed, and the hardware spec is the difference between a door that lasts twenty years and one that binds in three.

Impact Entry & French Doors
We pulled a three-year-old impact entry door off a home in the Venetian Isles section of Lighthouse Point not long ago. The aluminum threshold plate had corroded through, and the multi-point lock hardware was seized from constant salt spray. That door was impact-rated and code-compliant, and it still failed because the hardware spec was wrong for a canal-front elevation. We replace entry and French doors like that with marine-grade stainless-steel thresholds, hot-dip galvanized fasteners, and fusion-welded frames, the same package we use on every water-facing elevation in this city. Expect $3,800 to $8,500 installed for a proper coastal-spec impact entry door in Lighthouse Point.

Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors on Lighthouse Point homes are often the largest single opening in the envelope, and an unbraced or non-impact garage door is the most common wind-failure point in a hurricane. We install and service impact-rated garage doors with reinforced tracks and bracing that meet Broward HVHZ requirements. A new impact garage door in Lighthouse Point typically runs $3,200 to $7,000 depending on width, material, and whether the existing tracks need reinforcement.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, so when a Lighthouse Point homeowner wants a specific brand, we can usually provide it with the full factory warranty intact. On the impact side, we work regularly with PGT and CGI, two Florida manufacturers whose products are engineered specifically for the HVHZ wind zone. We also install Simonton and Jeld-Wen for homeowners who want a quality impact-rated option at a more moderate price point. Because we stock common replacement hardware and parts for Lighthouse Point’s dominant product mix, we can often turn around a hardware repair on a canal-facing door in a single visit, no second appointment left hanging.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Corroded threshold plates and multi-point locks on canal-facing doors. Aluminum hardware on a door that faces tidal water can corrode through in three to five years. We replace it with marine-grade stainless or hot-dip galvanized components, not another aluminum plate that will fail on the same schedule.
- Fogged glass and failed seals in original jalousie and single-pane windows. Decades of salt-laden air pitting the glass and attacking the seals means many original Lighthouse Point windows are already failing, on top of being hurricane-ineligible under current code.
- Water intrusion at the sill pan from wind-driven rain. Impact windows without properly lapped flashing tape at the sill pan and jamb corners leak during a storm, and in Lighthouse Point that water is salt-laden, which accelerates rot and corrosion behind the frame. We re-flash every opening before setting the window.
- Track and roller failure on canal-facing sliding doors. Salt grit works its way into tracks and chews through standard rollers. We specify stainless rollers and marine-grade tracks on any slider facing the water.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL
Here’s the honest picture of what impact windows and doors cost in Lighthouse Point right now. A single impact window replacement runs roughly $900 to $1,800 per opening installed. An impact sliding glass door runs $4,500 to $9,000. An impact entry or French door runs $3,800 to $8,500, and a full impact garage door runs $3,200 to $7,000. The wide ranges reflect the gap between a standard inland-spec product and the coastal-spec hardware that a canal-front elevation actually requires. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, line-item the hardware, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves. Call (786) 743-5882 for a free estimate, and you’ll see exactly what you’re buying before any work is scheduled.
One more thing worth saying plainly: the cheaper spec costs more within a decade on Lighthouse Point’s canal grid. A standard aluminum threshold will corrode through, a standard roller will seize, and you’ll pay for the same door twice. The coastal spec costs more on the front end and less over the life of the house.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Yes. Lighthouse Point sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone under the Florida Building Code, which means every replacement window and exterior door must carry Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval impact ratings. Standard non-impact products are effectively unpermittable here, so any quote you get that does not specify an approved product listing is not a quote for a legal installation. We only quote code-compliant, product-approved windows and doors, and we pull the permit and handle the inspection as part of the job. Call (786) 743-5882 and we’ll walk you through the specifics for your property.
Because the hardware is aluminum, and salt air attacks aluminum. On a door facing a navigable canal or the Intracoastal, the threshold plate and multi-point lock hardware are exposed to constant salt spray and humidity, and standard aluminum components can corrode through in as little as three to five years. The fix is marine-grade stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized hardware, which is what we specify on every water-facing elevation. If your existing impact door is binding or the lock is getting stiff, call (786) 743-5882 for an assessment, estimates are free.
The glass and impact rating may be identical, but the frame finishing, fasteners, flashing, and hardware are not. A coastal-spec window for Lighthouse Point uses stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners, marine-grade flashing tape at the sill pan and jambs, and hardware rated for salt exposure. An inland-spec window uses standard aluminum components that will eventually corrode on a canal-front home. We spec the coastal version on every project in this city, because the salt air does not skip the houses that are a block off the water. Call (786) 743-5882 for a free estimate and we’ll show you the difference on paper.
Generally no, not if you want a code-compliant outcome. Original jalousie and single-pane windows in Lighthouse Point homes are hurricane-ineligible under current Broward code, and the frames are usually too far gone from decades of salt exposure to be worth re-glazing. The right fix is a full replacement with an impact-rated window, and that is the only way to get a permitted, inspected installation that will actually protect the home. Call (786) 743-5882 and we’ll give you a straight answer on your specific windows.
Once a year, and ideally right before hurricane season. Walk every water-facing window and door, look for cracked or lifting sealant at the frame edges, check the sill pan for standing water after rain, and test the hardware. In Lighthouse Point, salt-laden wind-driven rain finds any gap in the flashing and starts working behind the frame, so a small sealant failure is worth fixing immediately. We offer a maintenance check that covers this kind of inspection and minor sealant touch-up. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule one.
