AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Lauderdale Lakes
Impact window and door replacement in Lauderdale Lakes runs $900-$3,400 per opening for most 1960s and 1970s concrete block homes, with jalousie-to-impact conversions landing on the higher end because the old frame has to come out entirely. We know this market because we work it every week, from Oriole Estates to the condo corridors off Oakland Park Boulevard. Our Impact Windows & Doors crews stage materials on tight driveways, respect HOA work-hour rules, and keep shared walls quiet. If you’re weighing a replacement on an older CBS home or a condo unit, call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll walk the property with you.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
The homes here are not like the newer subdivisions farther west. Lauderdale Lakes was built out almost entirely in the 1960s and 1970s, one of Broward County’s first planned inland communities. That means concrete block walls, original aluminum frames, jalousie windows, and a lot of associations with strict facade rules. We have worked through enough of those board approvals to know what documentation they want, what product lines they accept, and how to present a package that gets a yes instead of a deferral to next quarter.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Lauderdale Lakes customers get the same Done Right Promise as everyone else. We stand behind it.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center. When a condo board needs a product spec sheet the day before a vote, someone here can put it in your hand.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Lauderdale Lakes homes still carry original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows that cannot be retrofitted to meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Replacement means full tear-out and a new impact-rated unit with a current Florida Product Approval. We install fusion-welded vinyl and aluminum impact frames on CBS homes throughout the city, and we handle the anchoring and flashing tape details that keep water out of concrete block openings.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Single-pane sliders from the 1970s are common in Lauderdale Lakes condos and single-family homes alike. By now the rollers are worn, the tracks are pitted, and the seal has failed. We replace them with impact-rated sliders that meet HVHZ standards and glide properly. For condo units, we coordinate with the association so the door matches the building’s approved product for the facade.
Impact Entry & French Doors
An entry door on a Lauderdale Lakes condo takes direct sun most of the year, and the older steel or wood units swell and bind in the humidity. We install impact-rated entry and French doors that keep their shape through Broward summers. For HOA-governed buildings, we submit the product specs the board needs before the first screw comes out.
Impact Garage Doors
Lauderdale Lakes has a deep stock of attached garages on CBS single-family homes. A 1970s garage door is not a small liability in a storm, and it is often the largest opening on the house. We install and brace impact-rated garage doors with the same attention to anchoring and code compliance as every other opening we touch.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. That matters in Lauderdale Lakes because condo boards want a named, NOA-approved product line, not a generic equivalent. We keep local stock on the fast-moving hardware and glass packages for these brands, so a Lauderdale Lakes job does not stall waiting on a cross-state shipment. When you need CGI or CWS impact glass matched to an existing building-wide install, we can usually pull it from inventory and schedule quickly.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Jalousie windows that cannot be brought to code. Broward County requires HVHZ-rated impact glazing on any permitted replacement. Jalousie glass slats are structurally incompatible with that standard. The only compliant fix is full replacement, which is why this is the single most common job we quote in Lauderdale Lakes.
- Condo board stalemates on facade uniformity. One owner wants new windows, but the association has not approved a building-wide product. We prepare the NOA documentation and side-by-side manufacturer comparisons that boards need to move from discussion to vote. A single motivated owner often becomes a building-wide contract.
- Water intrusion at concrete block openings. In 1960s and 1970s CBS construction, the original window flashing was minimal. South Florida rain finds its way in around the frame. Our installs include proper flashing tape and sealant details specific to concrete block, not just a caulk bead over the old gap.
- Failed seals and fogged sliding door glass. Humidity and sustained UV exposure break down the seals on aging single-pane sliders. When the glass fogs, the unit is done. We replace the whole door or sash assembly with an impact-rated unit so the opening finally meets code while it is open.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes, FL
Impact window replacement in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $900-$1,800 per window for standard sizes on single-family CBS homes. Jalousie-to-impact conversions run $1,400-$3,400 per opening because the entire frame must be torn out and the rough opening rebuilt. Impact sliding glass doors land between $2,800 and $6,500 depending on width, track condition, and whether the project is a single unit or part of a building-wide condo package. Entry doors run $1,800-$4,200. Garage doors run $2,200-$5,000 braced and installed. Factors that shift the quote: access to the opening, second-story work, HOA-mandated product lines, and whether the structure is CBS or wood-frame. We give a written line-item quote before any work begins. Call (863) 591-8673 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Lauderdale Lakes Jobs Are Different
Lauderdale Lakes has an unusually high density of 1970s low-rise condo associations where individual unit owners cannot legally replace exterior windows or sliding glass doors without HOA board approval of a uniform, HVHZ-rated product for the entire building facade. We have watched a single owner’s question at a board meeting turn into a building-wide impact-window contract more than once. That is a good thing for the association: bulk pricing, one installation crew, one warranty package, and a facade that finally matches. But it also means the first step is often not measuring a window. It is preparing the documentation that moves a board from delay to decision.
Staging a job here is different too. Many Lauderdale Lakes lots are tight, with shared driveways, zero-lot-line setbacks, and HOA rules about when crews can work and where materials can sit. We plan for that. Our crews arrive in uniform, keep materials staged inside the driveway or an approved area, and clean up at the end of each day. On shared party walls, we keep cutting and demo within posted work hours and notify adjacent units before noisy work begins. The access constraints are part of the quote, not an add-on after we show up.
A recent job in Oriole Estates shows what that looks like. We replaced jalousie windows with impact-rated double-hungs on a 1960s CBS single-family home. The original single-pane aluminum frames had severe seal failure from decades of humidity and UV. Our crew staged materials in the driveway, used low-E glass with argon fill to meet Broward County’s HVHZ code, and kept the shared property line clean and quiet. Fusion-welded frame installation cut the job to two days. The homeowner got a written warranty registration for both manufacturer layers before we pulled out of the driveway.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes
Yes, in almost every Lauderdale Lakes condo association the exterior windows belong to the building envelope, which means the HOA board must approve the product before you can replace your unit’s windows. The board will want a named manufacturer line, a current Florida Product Approval, and usually a uniform look across the facade. We prepare that package for owners and boards, and we have helped many Lauderdale Lakes associations move from a stalled discussion to an approved building-wide contract. Call (863) 591-8673 and we will help you build the submittal.
Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard because the glass slats themselves cannot carry an impact rating, and the frame design does not support a laminated impact glazing unit. Broward County requires any permitted replacement to carry a current Florida Product Approval for wind-borne debris resistance. That means a full tear-out and replacement with an impact-rated window. On Lauderdale Lakes CBS homes, this is the most common path we quote.
In most 1960s and 1970s Lauderdale Lakes homes, the original single-pane aluminum windows lose a meaningful share of cooled air, but the bigger problem is usually air leakage around failed seals and warped frames. Replacing them with impact-rated low-E units that meet HVHZ code cuts the leakage and the solar gain at once. Every opening we replace gets new flashing and sealing at the concrete block, which is where a lot of that conditioned air was escaping. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate with real numbers in writing.
We schedule demo and cutting work inside posted HOA and city work hours, and we notify adjacent units before noisy work begins on shared walls. On tight lots with zero-lot-line setbacks, we stage materials in the driveway or an approved area, never on a neighbor’s property. The access and staging constraints are part of the written quote, not a surprise at the start of the job. If your association has a specific work-hour rule, give us the page and we will work to it.
If the glass is fogged, the seal has failed and the insulated glass unit is finished. We replace the sash or the entire door with an impact-rated unit rather than trying to reseal old glass. On Lauderdale Lakes condos, we coordinate the replacement with your association so the product matches the building’s approved line. For a quote on your specific slider, call (863) 591-8673. Estimates are free and the number is in writing before any work starts.
