Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Sunrise
Window replacement in Sunrise, FL runs $850-$2,400 per opening for insert replacements, and $1,200-$3,800 per opening for full-frame work with impact-rated glass. Most jobs take one to two days once the permit clears. If you live in Sunrise, you’re dealing with Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) on every permit, and that changes what products you can legally install, what your insurance company will accept, and what the inspector will sign off on. We’ve worked through enough Sunrise permits and enough Inverrary condo boards to know exactly where the hang-ups are before they cost you weeks. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll walk the job with you in person.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who set a rule that still governs every job we take in Sunrise: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re not a franchise playbook. We’re a local shop that trains apprentices into journeymen and plans to be answering the phone in this town thirty years from now. Homeowners in Sunrise call us because we 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. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s covered by our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
We’ve worked on 1970s villas in Inverrary, 1980s ranches off Nob Hill Road, and condos along West Oakland Park Boulevard where the association’s architectural committee runs the show. Sunrise residents tend to have lived in the same house for twenty or more years. They remember the contractor who left them with a fogged seal and a patio door that binds every July. They’re not shopping for the cheapest bid. They want the job done right, by a company that will still be in town if something goes wrong. That’s who we work for. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. Call (863) 591-8673.
Our Window Replacement Services in Sunrise
Sunrise’s housing stock runs heavily to late-1960s through early-1990s construction. That means original aluminum single-pane sliders, jalousie windows, and frames that were never built for today’s wind loads or humidity. Here’s what we handle most often for Sunrise homeowners, and how each one plays out in your part of Broward County.
Full Frame Replacement
Full-frame replacement takes the old window out down to the rough opening, repairs or replaces the sill and jambs, and sets a new unit. In Sunrise, this is often the only legal route when the original frame has rotted from west-facing Everglades humidity or when the existing rough opening can’t take an impact-rated unit’s weight. When we opened the walls of a 1979 single-family home on NW 28th Court in Inverrary, the original jalousie frames had rotted sills from years of west-facing humidity, and the retrofit plan crumbled once we found undersized lintels. We switched the client to a full-frame replacement with impact-rated glazing, wrote a change order for new pressure-treated sills and header reinforcement, and had the permit updated before touching another sash. The inspector passed the final on the first visit. That’s how full-frame should go in Sunrise.

Insert Window Replacement
An insert, or pocket replacement, sets a new window into the existing frame. It keeps the interior and exterior trim intact and costs less than full-frame. Inserts work in Sunrise when the original frame is square, dry, and structurally sound. The catch is that Sunrise’s persistent humidity often hides rot behind aluminum frames that look fine from the outside. We inspect the sill and jamb before we quote an insert route, and if the wood’s soft, we tell you before the contract is written, not after the walls are open. Most insert replacement in Sunrise runs $850-$1,900 per window depending on glass package and size.

Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Sunrise serve a different purpose than they do up north. Here, they’re a protective outer layer over existing single-pane windows, often used on older homes where the owner isn’t ready for a full impact-rated replacement but needs something between their glass and the next named storm. We see this on east-facing elevations along Sunrise’s planned communities where original windows still carry windborne-debris exposure. A storm window setup in Sunrise typically runs $400-$800 per opening. Keep in mind that a storm window alone won’t satisfy HVHZ product-approval requirements for insurance credits. The NOA has to come from the primary window assembly. We’ll explain the difference in plain language before you spend a dollar.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Energy-efficient upgrades in Sunrise mean low-E glass, argon fill, and thermally broken frames sized for our climate. Sunrise sits roughly 12 miles inland from the Atlantic, but Broward County’s countywide HVHZ designation means the same peak design wind loads as barrier-island communities. That means an energy-efficient window in Sunrise also has to be an impact-rated window if you want the insurance credit. We quote both sides of that coin on paper so you see the cost of energy savings with and without impact glazing. Expect $900-$2,200 per window for energy-efficient impact units in Sunrise. The payback comes through FPL savings and, for many homeowners, lower wind mitigation credits on their policy.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we carry parts locally for Sunrise jobs so you’re not waiting on a freight truck from out of state. The brands we quote most often in Sunrise are PGT, Simonton, and Ply Gem. PGT’s impact-rated lines carry Broward County-accepted NOAs that hold up to plan review. Simonton gives us a strong mid-range option for insert work on Sunrise’s 1980s homes where full impact isn’t required by the association but energy performance is. Ply Gem rounds out the budget side for homeowners who need a solid window without the premium line price. We put the quotes side by side in writing, with both warranty layers stated on paper before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s our Window Replacement standard on every job.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Missing or mismatched NOA paperwork. A contractor submits a window permit with a Notice of Acceptance that doesn’t match the exact product line, and the Broward County plan reviewer rejects it. We’ve watched jobs stall for three weeks over a one-digit error in the NOA number. We pull the NOA before we file, and we check it against the product label on the box.
- Failed waterproofing on old aluminum sliding glass doors. Humidity from the Everglades seeps behind the stucco, rots the jamb, and forces a full-frame replacement even when the insert route was quoted. In Sunrise, the west-facing openings on older homes take this the worst. We open the wall, show you what’s there, and price the fix in writing before we touch it.
- Condo association architectural review stalls. Inverrary and similar 1970s condo complexes across Sunrise frequently require the product’s NOA to be approved by their architectural committee before the permit application is filed. Skipping that step gets a contract canceled. We’ve learned to get the NOA in front of the board first.
- Undersized lintels and framing on original openings. Sunrise’s 1970s-era homes were framed for lightweight aluminum single-panes, not for the weight of laminated impact glass. When we open the wall and find a header that’s undersized, we stop, write the change order, and get your approval before we reinforce. No surprise line items, no work you didn’t authorize.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Sunrise, FL
Window replacement pricing in Sunrise breaks down like this, based on what we actually quote in this market, not a national average. A standard insert replacement for a builder-grade 1970s or 1980s home runs $850-$1,900 per window. Full-frame replacement for those same homes runs $1,200-$3,800 per window, with the higher end reflecting impact-rated glass, larger openings, and any sill or header repairs discovered when the wall is open. Storm windows run $400-$800 per opening. Energy-efficient impact units run $900-$2,200 per window. What moves the price is glass package, frame material, size, and what we find behind the old frame. We write allowances into the contract for exactly that. Any surprise is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Our standing offers apply to Sunrise: a free written repair estimate, a maintenance check, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote. Estimates are free, and we stand behind our numbers.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Sunrise
Sunrise falls entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which is a countywide Broward designation based on wind-borne debris risk. A Notice of Acceptance is the state’s product-approval document that proves a specific window or door has passed the HVHZ testing standard. Sunrise permits won’t clear without one, and the NOA number has to match the exact product line on the box. Neighboring cities like Coral Springs don’t carry the same HVHZ requirement on every opening. Call (863) 591-8673 if you want us to check your product’s NOA before you file anything.
Get the manufacturer’s NOA and the product specification sheet in front of the association’s architectural committee before any permit is filed. Inverrary and similar 1970s condo complexes across Sunrise often cancel contracts when the NOA was never pre-approved by the board. We’ve handled enough of these to know the sequence: product selected, NOA pulled, association sign-off in writing, then the permit application. Skipping step three stalls the job for weeks. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll work your association’s process with you.
In many Sunrise homes, yes, especially if your current windows are pre-2002 single-pane aluminum or jalousie units. Broward County insurers have been canceling or surcharging policies on older homes without verified impact-rated openings. A proper impact-rated installation with a valid NOA gives you the wind mitigation documentation your carrier is looking for. The premium reduction depends on your policy, your home’s other mitigation features, and your insurer’s filed rates. We don’t promise a number, but we do make sure the paperwork your insurance company needs is in your hands when the job’s done. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate.
An insert replacement sets a new window inside your existing frame and keeps the surrounding trim and stucco intact. It’s faster, costs less, and works when the original frame is square and dry. A full-frame replacement removes the old window down to the rough opening and replaces everything, including the sill and jambs. In Sunrise, full-frame is often the real cost once we open the wall and find rotted wood from Everglades humidity or undersized framing that can’t carry impact glass. We price both routes honestly, and if we find the insert route won’t hold, we tell you in writing before the contract changes. Call (863) 591-8673 to have us look at your openings.
You need a low-E glass package that meets both Florida’s energy code requirements and, if you want insurance credit, an impact-rated assembly with a valid Broward County NOA. Not every ENERGY STAR window sold nationally passes HVHZ wind-load testing. In Sunrise, you want a low-E impact unit with a thermal break, sized for our humidity and our wind exposure. We quote the energy performance and the impact rating side by side so you see exactly what you’re buying. Call (863) 591-8673 for a written quote. Estimates are free.
