AfterTrusted Window Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Window installation in Fort Lauderdale is not a job to hand to just anyone. Salt air, hurricane season, and afternoon sun that can warp a cheap frame in two summers mean the work has to be done right the first time. TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing exactly that for over 42 years in this community. We are a second-generation glazier’s shop, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, and we install windows the way we would in our own homes. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so when you call (754) 310-3589, you talk to someone who can schedule your free estimate right then. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no waiting.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single hung windows have a fixed top sash and a bottom sash that lifts. Double hung windows let both sashes move, which means better airflow and easier cleaning, especially in two-story Fort Lauderdale homes where outside washing is a hassle. We measure every opening twice, set the frame square and level, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows slide side to side and show up often in mid-century ranches across Plantation and Sunrise. They are simple windows, but a sloppy track installation means sticking, binding, and a frame that leaks during summer downpours. Our technicians set the track dead level and test the glide before they clean up.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows open up a wide view and work well in living rooms and sunrooms. The center panel usually slides, and the two outer panels stay fixed, though configurations vary by manufacturer. We quote these side by side on paper so you see exactly what each manufacturer line costs, from PGT to CGI to ES Windows.
Casement Windows
Casement Windows crank outward on side hinges and seal tight against the frame when closed, which matters when a summer squall hits Fort Lauderdale. They are a strong choice for hard-to-reach spots above kitchen sinks or behind furniture. We check the crank operation, the weatherstripping, and the square of the frame at every point before we call the job done.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning & Hopper Windows hinge at the top and push outward, so you can leave them open for air without letting rain in, while hopper styles hinge at the bottom and open inward, commonly found in bathrooms and basements. Both styles are small but unforgiving; a frame that is out of true by even an eighth of an inch will show up as a gap or a fogged seal within a year.
Picture & Fixed Windows
Fixed windows do not open, but they do an enormous amount of work: they frame a view, hold back the weather, and carry the visual weight of a wall. In Fort Lauderdale, a fixed window facing east or south takes direct sun, so the glass package matters as much as the install. We walk you through the options and set the window so the sightlines are as clean on the inside as the seal is on the outside.
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay & Bow Windows project outward from the wall and add floor space, light, and a place for plants or a reading chair. They are also the most complex residential window install we do, with multiple units tied together and a roof or seat board below. We bring the framing up to spec, flash the projection properly, and make sure the whole assembly sheds water the way it should.
Garden Windows
A garden window is a small greenhouse built into your kitchen wall, with glass on three sides and often a shelf for herbs or orchids. These windows are charming and practical, but they are leak-prone if the sill is not pitched correctly. We slope the sill, seal every joint, and test the drainage before we leave.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we stock parts and hardware for the brands Fort Lauderdale homeowners actually have in their houses. When you get a quote from us, we put the manufacturers side by side on paper so you can compare what you are paying for, line by line. No vague allowances, no “we’ll see what we can get.”
PGT is the dominant name in South Florida impact windows, and we have installed their WinGuard and SpectraGuard lines in homes from Coral Springs to Pompano Beach. We know their framing systems, their anchoring requirements, and how to register their warranty layers so the paperwork actually holds up. CGI and ES Windows are both high-end architectural lines we recommend for custom openings and unusual sightlines. If you have a different brand, or you are not sure what you have, we can still help; our technicians measure every opening twice and quote whatever line fits the job and the budget, never the other way around.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Condensation or fog between the panes. A failed seal means the insulating gas has leaked out and moisture has gotten in. The window will never perform the way it should, and the fix is a new sealed unit, not a wipe-down.
- Windows that stick, bind, or refuse to lock. A frame that has shifted out of square is a security issue and an energy issue. Forcing the sash closed just makes the problem worse.
- Drafts you can feel with the window shut. Run your hand along the edges on a windy day. If air moves, your air conditioning is leaving the house, and your electric bill is paying for it.
- Rot, soft wood, or peeling paint around the frame. In Fort Lauderdale humidity, a small water entry point becomes a structural problem faster than you would think. If the frame is soft, the window has to come out to fix what is behind it.
- Windows that rattle in the wind or during storms. Loose sashes and worn hardware are the first things to go in a hurricane. If the window will not stay put, it is time to replace it before the next named storm.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure every opening twice. One of our uniformed, background-checked technicians measures each opening with a laser and a tape. The two measurements have to match before anything gets ordered. No exceptions.
- 2
Quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. We show you exactly what each window line costs, what the warranty covers, and how long each warranty layer lasts. You decide with real numbers in front of you, not a sales pitch.
- 3
Order and schedule. We give you a written lead time and a firm installation date. We will be there when we say, in uniform, with the right tools and the right crew for the job.
- 4
Install to spec. We pull the old window, repair or replace any damaged framing, flash the opening, set the new window square and level, insulate, and trim. We check the operation, the seal, and the sightline. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 5
Register both warranty layers before we leave. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. You get a copy. We keep a copy. No paperwork fights later.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A basic single hung window install in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $350 to $700 per window, depending on size, frame material, and whether the opening needs any carpentry repair. A mid-range double hung or horizontal roller in a standard opening usually lands between $500 and $900. Casement and awning windows run $600 to $1,200 each because the hardware is more involved. Bay and bow windows are a different animal entirely; a three-panel bay with a seat board and roof can run $4,000 to $9,000 installed. Impact-rated windows from PGT or CGI add anywhere from $200 to $600 per window over the standard glass package, but they are required for new construction in much of Broward County and they earn their keep when a storm comes.
What affects the price: the size of the glass, the frame material, the glass package, whether the opening needs new framing, and how many windows you are doing at once. A reputable installer will not quote you a single number over the phone without seeing the openings. We give free estimates with line-item pricing, so you know exactly what you are paying for. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule yours. We will not try to sell you a window you do not need.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Window installation is the process of removing an old or failing window and setting a new one into the existing opening, including flashing, insulation, trim, and sealing. A full installation includes measuring the opening, checking the framing for rot or water damage, and ensuring the new window is square, level, and plumb. TruePane does this work to manufacturer spec every time.
Most standard window installs in Fort Lauderdale take 45 minutes to two hours per window, once the old window is out and the opening is prepped. A full house of 10 to 15 windows can usually be done in one to two days. Bay and bow windows or openings that need framing repair take longer, and we give you a written schedule before we start.
Standard windows run $350 to $900 each installed, depending on type and glass package. Impact windows from PGT or CGI add $200 to $600 per window. Custom shapes, bays, and bows run higher. Call (754) 310-3589 for a free line-item estimate; you will see exactly what you are paying for before you sign anything.
