AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Lighthouse Point
Custom windows and doors in Lighthouse Point are rarely a simple swap. Most homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s on canal-front lots, and the original aluminum frames have spent decades absorbing salt-laden air from more than 10 miles of tidal waterways. That means a replacement job usually involves full-frame tear-out, HVHZ impact-rated glass, and hardware that will not seize up within a few years. TruePane Windows & Doors has handled these conditions across Lighthouse Point long enough to know what a mid-century canal home needs before we even walk the opening. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate, and we will measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
If you are reading this, you have probably already figured out that a fogged seal or a door that binds in July is not something a handyman with a tube of caulk should touch. Our Custom Windows & Doors team works the way Dale Kessler set the standard back in 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We have been serving South Florida homeowners since 2008 through a heritage that started with a second-generation glazier and a whiteboard rule about doing work right. Lighthouse Point customers call us because we answer the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a canal-facing casement window seizes up or a sliding door frame separates from the masonry, you want a real person who knows the difference between a re-glaze and a full tear-out.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They treat your home the way they would work in their own mother’s house. That is not marketing language; it is the hiring standard. We sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we plan to be in this community thirty years from now, and a company with that horizon does not cut corners on a Lighthouse Point canal lot.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before we leave. No paperwork fights. No arguing. We stand behind it.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point
Lighthouse Point sits in Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That single fact shapes nearly every Custom Windows & Doors project here. The city’s peninsular geography means even homes on interior streets, not just those with direct canal frontage, are close enough to saltwater that aluminum extrusions corrode and hardware oxidizes on timelines measured in years, not decades. Here is how that changes the work we do.
Custom Shape Windows
Mid-century Lighthouse Point homes are full of arched transoms, radius corners, and angled fixed units that builders installed when custom meant ordering from a local shop rather than a big-box catalog. Those openings were not framed for modern impact glazing. We build custom shape windows to the existing opening, engineered to hold an HVHZ-rated laminated glass unit, so you do not have to reframe the wall or live with a boarded-over arch. A typical custom arch or radius window in Lighthouse Point runs $1,800 to $4,200 installed, depending on glass package and whether the existing frame can be salvaged.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Lighthouse Point’s housing stock leans heavily Mediterranean and ranch-style, and homeowners here care about keeping that character. Simulated divided lites, or SDLs, let you keep the divided-light look on the exterior while keeping a single insulated glass unit that meets impact standards. We measure every opening twice and order SDLs matched to the original mullion profile, not a generic grid that looks like an afterthought. For canal-front homes where the original grilles were true divided lites with individual panes, we explain honestly why SDLs inside a laminated impact unit outperform the original construction in a storm.
Oversized Glass Panels
Canal-front living rooms in Lighthouse Point were built around the view. Many of those original floor-to-ceiling fixed units are single-pane and have no place in a HVHZ home. We install oversized laminated impact panels that preserve sightlines while meeting Florida Product Approval. The glass is heavy, the tolerances are tight, and the hoisting on a narrow canal lot with limited street access takes planning. We scope access before we quote, so the number on the estimate is the number on the bill. Oversized panel replacement in Lighthouse Point typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 per opening depending on size and lift complexity.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Lighthouse Point has a small but stable commercial strip along Federal Highway and Sample Road. Storefront systems there face the same salt-air oxidation as residential work, plus daily thermal cycling from direct sun. We install and service aluminum storefront framing, glass doors, and transoms for small commercial properties, and we keep local stock of common extrusions and hardware so a cracked lite does not leave a storefront boarded for a week.
Curtain Wall Systems
For larger commercial or multi-story residential work around Lighthouse Point, curtain wall systems carry the wind load and the water seal. We scope these jobs against Broward County permitting and HVHZ product approval requirements before we quote, because the engineering package and the product approval paperwork are part of the job, not an afterthought.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Lighthouse Point work we lean heavily on brands that hold Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for HVHZ use: CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems among them. We also service Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and PGT product. Because we know the failure modes here are corrosion-driven, we spec stainless steel hardware and fusion-welded frame designs that stand up to canal exposure. If you are comparing brands, we will quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Frame separation at the masonry line. On mid-century canal-front streets, original aluminum sliding door frames get so severely pitted by decades of salt air that the frame structurally separates from the surrounding masonry. That is a full-frame tear-out, not a re-glaze. We have seen homeowners call for a simple glass upgrade and end up needing a new fusion-welded slider with a stainless steel track.
- Accelerated seal failure. Salt-air oxidation attacks the insulated glass unit edge, so argon leaks out and the U-factor spikes. A double-pane window that would hold its seal for 20 years in Margate can fog in 12 to 15 here. That is why we register the seal warranty in writing and state the full duration before we finish the job.
- Jalousie windows and single-pane fixed units that cannot be retrofitted. Houses built in the 1950s through 1970s in Lighthouse Point frequently still have original jalousie and single-pane units. None of them meet current HVHZ impact requirements, and none can be retrofitted to them. Full custom replacement is the only legal and safe path.
- Seized hardware on canal-facing sashes. Casement and double-hung hardware on the water side of the house oxidizes and seizes within a few years of a standard install. We specify marine-grade stainless steel hardware on every canal-facing opening, because standard hardware is a callback waiting to happen.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL
A full custom window replacement in Lighthouse Point generally runs $1,800 to $4,200 per opening for standard-size openings with custom glass packages. Oversized fixed panels and sliders run higher, typically $3,500 to $9,000 per opening, because of the glass weight, lift equipment, and the engineering documentation required for HVHZ compliance. Full-frame tear-out jobs add labor and masonry repair when the old aluminum frame has separated from the opening. We give you a written line-item quote before any work starts, so you know the frame condition, the glass package, the hardware spec, and the permit status you are paying for.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Because the city is a roughly 2-square-mile peninsula laced with more than 10 miles of tidal saltwater canals, so nearly every home sits within salt-spray distance of the water. Original aluminum frames and hardware corrode to the point of structural failure here decades faster than in Margate or Coral Springs. Full-frame replacement is usually the only way to get a structurally sound opening that meets HVHZ impact standards. If you are not sure whether your frames are salvageable, call (863) 591-8673 and we will inspect them before recommending anything.
Lighthouse Point lies in Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the permitting office enforces HVHZ product approval on every impact window and door. That means your product choice must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, and the permit drawings must match the approved product exactly. We pull the permits, coordinate inspections, and register both warranty layers in writing. It is part of the job, not a change order.
In most cases, no. On canal-front homes, we routinely find original frames so pitted by salt air that they have separated from the masonry, and keeping them would mean installing a new sealed unit into a frame that is already failing. We will tell you honestly after a tear-out inspection. A full-frame replacement with a fusion-welded, impact-rated unit is the right fix, and it is the only way to get a product approval that will pass a Broward County inspection.
Yes. A properly installed fused or seal-protected insulated glass unit inside a corrosion-resistant frame, with marine-grade hardware, holds its seal far longer than the original single-pane or jalousie construction. We register the manufacturer’s seal warranty in writing and state the duration before we finish. That is the Keystone Standard. Call (863) 591-8673 for an exact quote on your openings.
We walk the lot first. On a narrow canal lot, access for oversized glass panels and lift equipment is usually the controlling factor on price, not the window itself. We measure every opening twice, check the frame condition at the jamb, check for masonry separation, and confirm the product approval paperwork before we write the quote. That way the number on the estimate is the number that holds.
