Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company

We’ve worked enough canal-front ranches in Lighthouse Point to know what’s behind the old aluminum frames before we pull them. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies on every home we touch in this city, from the 1950s split-levels near the lighthouse itself to the later builds along the finger canals.

Lighthouse Point homeowners tend to ask the same questions: Will the permit pass? Will the salt eat the new hardware? Will the company still answer the phone in five years? We answer all three before the first truck rolls. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, they measure every opening twice, and they register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before leaving your driveway. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree.

We serve all of Lighthouse Point, including the canal-front streets off NE 33rd, the wider lots along NE 26th Ave, and the waterfront homes near Dan Witt Park. Dispatch comes from our South Florida metro office, and crews schedule directly with you.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point

Hurricane Impact Windows

Full-frame impact window replacement is the standard scope in Lighthouse Point, not retrofits. Most homes here still carry original single-pane aluminum units from the 1960s and 70s, and those frames are typically too corroded to accept an insert. We quote PGT and Simonton lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what each opening costs. A typical full-frame impact window on a Lighthouse Point ranch runs $1,400 to $2,800 per opening installed, depending on size, operation type, and whether we’re resizing for modern HVHZ dimensions.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Canal-front homes in Lighthouse Point almost always have at least one original aluminum slider facing the water. Salt air settles in the track and eats the rollers, the frame corners, and the interlock. By the time we’re called, the door usually binds in July and the sill is pitted. We replace these with HVHZ-rated impact sliders, typically PGT or CGI, with stainless steel rollers and marine-grade hardware. Plan on $4,500 to $9,000 per slider installed, more if the rough opening needs reframing for modern impact-unit dimensions.

Impact Entry & French Doors

Entry doors on Lighthouse Point canal lots take the same beating as windows, especially if they face east toward the Atlantic breeze. We install impact-rated entry systems from Ply Gem and Jeld-Wen, built for the HVHZ wind pressure zone Broward enforces. A single impact entry door runs $3,200 to $6,500. French door pairs run $6,000 to $11,000 depending on width, swing configuration, and frame condition.

Impact Garage Doors

Garage doors on 1950s and 60s Lighthouse Point homes were rarely braced for high-velocity wind. Broward inspectors flag unbraced garage doors during wind mitigation reviews. We install impact-rated garage doors and bracing systems that pass HVHZ inspection and earn wind mitigation credits on your insurance. Expect $3,800 to $7,500 depending on door size and track condition.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, and Ply Gem. We don’t push one brand. We quote options side by side on paper and let you see the differences in glass package, frame extrusion, and warranty duration. For Lighthouse Point’s salt-air conditions, we typically recommend PGT’s WinGuard line or Simonton’s StormBreaker series, both engineered for HVHZ zones and proven on canal-front homes in Broward. Local parts stock means we’re not waiting on a regional warehouse when a hardware swap is called for.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes

• Corroded sill corners on canal-front windows. Salt-laden air off the canal eats aluminum frame corners faster than anything we see in Coral Springs or Parkland. By the time the old window is pulled, the sill corners have often split completely through.
• Original jalousie windows that fail permit review. Broward’s HVHZ code flags louvered and jalousie units instantly. Their rough openings were never sized for modern impact casement or fixed windows, so replacement usually means reframing, not a direct swap.
• Sliding glass doors that bind and leak. Canal humidity and salt settle into slider tracks, corroding rollers and warping frames. The door sticks in summer, gaps open at the interlock, and wind-driven rain finds its way in.
• Septic and well setbacks limiting equipment staging. Larger canal-side lots in Lighthouse Point often have well heads and drain fields that restrict where a material trailer or lift can sit. A scope that looks simple from the street can need county-level site coordination before work starts.

One Thing Nobody Else Will Tell You About Lighthouse Point

Lighthouse Point was purpose-built around an intricate man-made canal network. Virtually every residential lot sits on or immediately adjacent to a saltwater canal, with Atlantic ocean breezes roughly two miles east. That’s a dual salt-air exposure you won’t find in Margate or Tamarac. Aluminum window and door frames here corrode through at the sill corners far faster than even neighboring inland Broward cities. Combined with Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation, this means non-impact openings are essentially uninsurable and non-permit-able. You can’t just swap glass. You’re replacing entire opening systems, and the salt demands marine-grade hardware and stainless steel fasteners throughout. That changes the material list, the labor, and the honest price.

On a canal-front ranch on NE 33rd Street, our crew removed original jalousie windows from a 1960s Florida room and found the aluminum sashes so corroded that the sill corners had split. We resized the rough openings and installed HVHZ-rated PGT casement and fixed units with impact-rated glazing, flashing tape, and fusion-welded frames, all documented for Broward wind mitigation credit and insurance approval. That’s the kind of job Lighthouse Point throws at you when the old openings were never built for modern code.
