AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Sunrise
Window installation in Sunrise means something specific here that it does not mean in most of Broward County. The majority of the work we do in this city involves retrofitting aging 1970s condominium buildings, not single-family homes. If you live in Sunrise Lakes or one of the surrounding 55+ communities, the window in your bedroom wall right now is likely original single-pane aluminum, non-impact-rated, and no longer compliant with the High Velocity Hurricane Zone code Broward enforces. We handle those retrofits from first measurement to final HOA sign-off. Call (727) 261-2215 to have a technician look at your openings.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We have spent years working inside Sunrise’s HOA-governed condominium communities, and that changes how we approach every job. A window replacement in a Sunrise Lakes mid-rise is not the same as one in a Weston single-family home. The board has pre-approved frame colors. The architectural committee reviews sightlines. The product has to carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approval or the permit dies before it starts. We know which manufacturer lines clear those boards because we have done the paperwork on them repeatedly.
Homeowners in Sunrise call us because we show up with the HOA conversation already handled. We bring side-by-side quotes from manufacturers like PGT, Simonton, and Ply Gem, each with both warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves the driveway. That is the Keystone Standard, and it applies whether we are replacing one jalousie window or a full building of sliding glass doors. Dale Kessler founded TruePane to fix the two things that plague this trade: out-of-true installs and warranty paperwork that disappears when you need it. Both are covered by our Done Right Promise in writing.
Our Window Installation Services in Sunrise
We install every window type a Sunrise condo or townhome needs, but three styles dominate the work here: sliding windows, casement windows, and fixed picture windows. Original 1970s buildings were designed around those units, and retrofitting within the existing concrete-block openings keeps costs down while still meeting HVHZ requirements. Here is what we do most often across Sunrise.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are the workhorse of Sunrise condo retrofits. The original aluminum sliders in buildings across Sunrise Lakes and adjacent 55+ communities are hollow-framed, single-pane, and frequently seized in their tracks from decades of humidity and oxidation. A new impact-rated slider with fusion-welded sashes and low-E glass will actually slide when you push it, which sounds obvious until you have lived with one that binds in July. In Sunrise, a typical two-panel impact-rated sliding window runs $900 to $1,600 installed, depending on opening size and frame material.
Casement Windows
Casement windows give a Sunrise condo the tightest possible seal against wind-driven rain, which matters here where afternoon thunderstorms roll off the Everglades. They crank outward and compress against the frame gasket, which is why we recommend them for east-facing and west-facing units that catch the brunt of storm weather. In Sunrise, a standard impact-rated casement runs $1,100 to $1,900 per opening. The hinge hardware we source from manufacturer lines like PGT and Simonton holds up against the humidity that kills cheaper imported models.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Many Sunrise condos built in the 1970s and early 1980s have large fixed picture windows in living rooms, frequently with a view of one of the city’s many lakes. Those original units are nearly always non-impact-rated single pane, which means they are also the biggest air leak in the home. We replace them with impact-rated insulated glass units that cut heat transfer in summer and stop the afternoon sun from baking a west-facing living room. A large fixed picture window replacement in Sunrise runs $1,400 to $2,600, including full removal of the oxidized old frame and re-flashing the opening.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them useful in Sunrise condos where you want ventilation during a rain shower without letting water in. They are common in bathrooms and kitchens of the original 1970s units. We install them with impact-rated glass and hardware rated for the same HVHZ wind loads as every other window in the building. In Sunrise, expect $900 to $1,500 per awning window installed depending on size and frame color the HOA requires.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We are an authorized installer for PGT, and Ply Gem, among others, and we have worked with all three lines on board-approved retrofits in Sunrise Lakes phases. That matters because your HOA likely has a short list of acceptable products, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying before you sign. We keep common impact-rated components in local stock, which means fewer multi-week waits on replacement sashes and hardware for Sunrise customers.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Advanced aluminum frame oxidation. Sunrise sits beside standing-water conditions that accelerate corrosion at window jambs and sills. We regularly find original frames so oxidized at the corners that they are sealing against rust, not the window. Full frame removal and replacement is the only fix that lasts longer than a few years.
- Non-impact-rated glass in an HVHZ building. Many Sunrise condo owners do not realize their original windows were installed before Hurricane Andrew changed Florida’s building codes. Any window that is not Miami-Dade NOA-approved will not pass a Broward permit inspection, and it leaves the unit unprotected in a named storm.
- Sliding glass door threshold rot. The hollow-core sliding doors in Sunrise’s older condos sit close to the floor, and post-rain standing water around doorways rots the threshold from underneath. We replace entire door units, flash the opening properly, and set an impact-rated frame that drains correctly.
- Seized or stripped window operators in casement and awning units. In Sunrise’s humidity, original crank hardware welds itself shut over time. We replace the full sash and operator with modern corrosion-resistant gear rather than forcing a 50-year-old crank until it breaks off in your hand.
Pricing for Window Installation in Sunrise, FL
If you live in a Sunrise condo and you want a real number, here is what we tell homeowners on every estimate call. Impact-rated sliding windows in standard condo openings run $900 to $1,600 per unit installed. Casements run $1,100 to $1,900. Fixed picture windows run $1,400 to $2,600. A full-unit retrofit of a two-bedroom Sunrise Lakes condo, replacing every window and the sliding glass door with HVHZ-compliant impact products, typically lands between $8,500 and $15,000 depending on the manufacturer line and the board’s required frame colors.
What moves the price is the product line your HOA pre-approves, the condition of the existing rough opening, and whether we are doing a single unit or coordinating a building-wide retrofit with a bulk purchase. We write fixed line-item quotes, and we honor them. If your board negotiates a bulk retrofit, the per-opening price drops, and we handle the architectural committee submission as part of the job. Call (727) 261-2215 for a free estimate with real numbers on paper.

FAQs - Window Installation in Sunrise
All of Broward County sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every window installed under permit must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance product approval. Standard impact glass that is only Florida Building Code-approved will not pass review here. In Sunrise Lakes specifically, the board’s architectural committee will reject any product that does not carry the NOA approval, even if the glass itself is impact-rated. Call (727) 261-2215 and we will walk you through which manufacturer lines already hold the approvals your phase requires.
No. In every Sunrise Lakes phase and in most HOA-governed townhome clusters in Sunrise, any window replacement that changes the frame color, sightline, or glass type requires architectural committee approval before work starts. Even a like-for-like replacement of one jalousie window needs a submission if the product differs from the original. We prepare those board submissions as part of our estimate, and we will not start work until the approval letter is on file. Call us and we will handle the paperwork.
Original single-pane aluminum windows leak conditioned air year-round, and in Sunrise’s summer humidity the result is an AC system running constantly. Homeowners who replace those units with insulated low-E impact windows typically see a measurable drop in cooling load, most noticeably in west-facing units that catch the afternoon sun. The exact savings depend on glass orientation and the condition of the building envelope, but the heat you feel standing near an original window is the heat you are paying to remove. We quote low-E/argon glass on every retrofit, not as an upgrade.
Look at the bottom track and the jamb corners on the outside. If you see white chalky powder along the aluminum, or the metal feels soft when you press it, the frame is oxidizing through and will not hold a seal. If the door binds when you slide it, especially in summer, the frame has likely shifted from corrosion or building settlement. In Sunrise’s standing-water conditions, we almost always recommend full frame replacement rather than a sash swap once corrosion is visible at the corners. Call (727) 261-2215 and we will check it without charging for the visit.
You need a permit for window and door replacement in every Sunrise building type, including mid-rise condos. The city and Broward County require a permit-pulled inspection on any window replacement, and the product must carry the HVHZ-required Miami-Dade NOA approval. An unpermitted window replacement will surface at resale and will fail an insurance review on a condo policy. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and keep the paperwork in order for you. Call for an exact scope and quote.
