AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Lighthouse Point
Window installation in Lighthouse Point costs between $850 and $2,900 per opening for most full-frame impact-rated replacements, with canal-front homes typically landing at the higher end because salt corrosion usually forces a full tear-out rather than a sash swap. We schedule free estimates throughout Lighthouse Point within 48 hours and our crews know the difference between a 1960s ranch off Sample Road and a newer build along the Hillsboro Canal. If you’re pricing out replacement windows or doors, call (727) 261-2215 and we’ll give you line-item numbers on paper before you commit to anything.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Window Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, but the craft tradition behind it stretches back many years. Dale’s rule has never changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the standard our background-checked, uniformed technicians carry into every Lighthouse Point home, whether it’s a canal-front ranch near Lighthouse Drive or a newer build north of NE 36th Street.
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard. No fine print. No arguing later. Every job also carries our Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
Lighthouse Point homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree, no regional call center. When you need Window Installation scheduled or have a question about a permit pull, you talk to someone who knows the trade.
Our Window Installation Services in Lighthouse Point
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows are the most common replacement on canal-front homes here, and for good reason. A 1960s jalousie or louvered opening can be reframed to accept a large fixed impact-rated unit that lets in the same Southeast Florida light without the air leakage and corrosion points. In Lighthouse Point, we see plenty of original Florida-room louvered panels that homeowners want converted to fixed glass. These jobs almost always require resizing the rough opening because jalousie frames were never built to modern HVHZ dimensions. We scope that reframing before we quote, so the number we hand you is the number on the final bill.
Casement Windows
Casement windows work well in Lighthouse Point’s salt-laden air because the compression seal is tighter than a sliding sash, which matters when onshore winds push canal moisture against the frame year-round. We install casement units from PGT, Jeld-Wen, and Simonton, all with HVHZ-rated hardware and marine-grade fasteners. A properly set casement crank mechanism, not the builder-grade hardware from the 1960s, is the difference between a window that operates smoothly for twenty years and one that binds by the first summer.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are common on Lighthouse Point ranch homes because they shed rain while still allowing ventilation, which is useful on the canal side where afternoon storms blow in hard off the Atlantic. We carry awning units that meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, and we set them with the hinge orientation that matches the prevailing wind on your specific lot. On older homes, the original awning frames tend to corrode at the bottom corners where runoff sits. We replace the full frame, not just the sash, and flash the rough opening with marine-grade tape so the new window is not inheriting the same rot the old one had.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows in Lighthouse Point homes are often original to the 1950s and 1960s builds, and many have lost their seal years ago. Homeowners call us because the glass is fogged between the panes, but once we pull the jamb, we usually find the aluminum channel has corroded through at the sill corners too. That’s why we recommend full-frame replacement on these homes rather than an insert. A double hung inserted into a corroded frame is a new window in a dying opening. We’d rather do it once, right, and register the warranty in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, and we quote those lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. PGT’s WinGuard and Simonton’s StormBreaker lines are the most common choices in Lighthouse Point because both carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, which Broward County inspectors and insurers expect to see. We keep common hardware and sealant stock on our trucks for Lighthouse Point jobs, which means we’re not leaving a job half-done because a fastener had to be ordered. When you call for a quote, tell us which line you’re considering and we’ll bring the spec sheets with us.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Canal-side aluminum corrosion through the sill corners. Salt-laden air off the canals eats aluminum faster here than even a few miles inland. We routinely find frames that have corroded completely through at the bottom corners, which makes a sash-only replacement impossible.
- Jalousie and louvered windows failing Broward permit pulls. Original jalousie frames cannot accept HVHZ-rated impact units without resizing the rough opening. Insurers and inspectors flag them immediately, which stalls the whole permit.
- Fogged or failed sealed units in 1950s-1970s single-pane aluminum frames. Many original windows lost their argon fill or seal years ago. By the time homeowners call us, the glass is fogged and the frame is often corroded too.
- Non-marine-grade fasteners rusting out behind the trim. Builders in the canal-era 1960s used standard steel fasteners. We pull trim on older Lighthouse Point homes and find the screws holding the window flange have rusted to nothing.
Pricing for Window Installation in Lighthouse Point, FL
Full-frame impact-rated window installation in Lighthouse Point runs $850 to $2,900 per opening, depending on the manufacturer line, the size of the rough opening, and whether the existing frame needs reframing. A standard fixed picture window in an existing opening usually lands between $900 and $1,400. Casement and awning units run $1,100 to $2,200 because the hardware and compression sealing add labor. Sliding windows fall between $1,000 and $2,400. Reframing a jalousie opening to accept a modern impact unit adds $300 to $700 per opening, and that’s the most common scope change we see on canal-front homes. Call (727) 261-2215 for a free estimate. We give you the numbers on paper before you sign, and there are no surprise line items afterward. A square deal, in writing.

FAQs - Window Installation in Lighthouse Point
Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation applies to all of Lighthouse Point, not just canal-front or ocean-adjacent lots. Every window and door replacement must meet Miami-Dade NOA impact-rated standards, and the county requires a permit to verify that compliance. A non-permitted replacement can void your homeowner’s insurance and fail a future sale inspection. We pull the permits, pass the inspections, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Call (727) 261-2215 if you want to know what your specific home needs before you file.
No. Original jalousie frames were never built to the dimensions or anchoring standards that HVHZ impact units require, so the rough opening itself has to be resized. On a canal-front ranch just off Lighthouse Drive, our crew pulled a 1962 jalousie window that had corroded completely through at the sill corners; the aluminum channel crumbled as we removed the jamb. We reframed the rough opening to accept a fixed impact-rated picture unit with low-E, argon-filled glazing, flashed the new buck with marine-grade flashing tape, and re-trimmed the interior to match the original 1950s corner bead. That scope is typical here. Call (727) 261-2215 for a free estimate on your specific openings.
Canal water evaporation combined with prevailing Atlantic onshore winds creates a persistent salt-laden microclimate around individual homes that corrodes aluminum extrusions, steel hardware, and non-marine-grade fasteners noticeably faster than properties even a few miles inland in Margate or Tamarac. We find sill corners corroded completely through on homes that look fine from the street. The practical difference is that Lighthouse Point homeowners should expect full-frame replacement more often than insert jobs, because the frame itself is usually the failure point, not just the glass. Call (727) 261-2215 and we’ll tell you what we see in your specific neighborhood.
The standard scope on a 1950s-1970s ranch here is full-frame impact-rated replacement with reframing where original jalousie or louvered openings don’t match modern unit dimensions. Most of these homes still have original single-pane aluminum frames that have lost their seal and corroded at the corners. We remove the old frame to the rough opening, inspect the buck for rot or corrosion, reframe as needed, flash with marine-grade tape, set the new HVHZ-rated unit, and re-trim. That’s the only way to satisfy Broward inspectors and give you a window that will still operate correctly in fifteen years. Call (727) 261-2215 to schedule a free estimate and get the scope in writing before you decide.
Look for fogging or moisture between the glass panes, a chalky white residue on the aluminum frame edges, windows that stick or bind in July humidity, or a visible gap where the sash meets the frame on the canal-facing side. Those are all early failure signs on Lighthouse Point homes. The frame corrosion that starts behind the trim is invisible until we pull it, so if you see fogging or feel drafts, the window has already failed. Call (727) 261-2215 and we’ll inspect your openings and give you an honest read on whether you’re looking at a sash replacement or a full-frame job.
