Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Lighthouse Point
Custom window and door work in Lighthouse Point is rarely a simple swap. The city’s canal grid pushes salt-laden Atlantic air across every elevation, which means the window on your NE 26th Ave kitchen gets the same corrosive moisture load as the one facing the Intracoastal. That’s the first thing we account for when we quote and spec a job here. TruePane Windows & Doors replaces and installs custom windows and doors throughout Lighthouse Point, and every opening we set is measured twice, quoted on paper, and registered for warranty before our truck leaves your driveway.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Lighthouse Point homeowners tend to stay. Many have lived in the same house since the 1970s and watched the original single-pane sliders fog, corrode, and bind. They call us after a previous contractor spec’d a window that failed Broward’s HVHZ plan review, or after a cheaper install left a canal-side jamb seized shut. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That governs every custom opening we set in Lighthouse Point, from a rounded-top casement on a 50-foot-wide lot to a full commercial storefront on Sample Road.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side so you see exactly what you’re buying. And our Done Right Promise means if it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. The Keystone Standard backs it: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before we leave. That matters on a canal lot where the wrong aluminum finish pits out in a decade.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point
We install, replace, and service custom windows and doors across Lighthouse Point. Below are the services we handle most often here, with the local conditions that shape how we spec each one. For the full scope of our work, see our Custom Windows & Doors service page.
Custom Shape Windows
Lighthouse Point’s mid-century homes often have fixed-lite picture windows with subtle arches or angled tops that standard replacement lines don’t cover. We build true custom shapes: radius heads, trapezoids, hexagons, and oversized picture units. On a canal lot, we spec marine-grade frame finishes and HVHZ-rated glass because the same salt air that eats a standard aluminum frame will eat a custom one faster if you let it.

Oversized Glass Panels
Many Lighthouse Point homes use wide fixed panels to capture canal views. Replacing those panels means more than ordering a bigger piece of glass. The HVHZ product approval must list the exact maximum size tested, and the framing system has to carry the wind load for your specific exposure. We quote oversized panels with the NOA number on the quote so the permit clears plan review the first time.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites (SDLs) and architectural grilles let you keep the original mid-century look of your Lighthouse Point home while getting modern impact glass and low-E coatings. We install SDLs with the grille profile matched to your existing mullions where possible. On canal-facing elevations, we recommend grilles applied to the interior surface with impact glass outside, so the salt air has fewer crevices to work into.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Lighthouse Point’s commercial spaces along Federal Highway and Sample Road need storefront glazing that handles daily sun, salt air, and Broward’s wind load requirements. We install and replace commercial storefront systems, including curtain wall assemblies for larger facades. Every commercial job is quoted with the same written line-item pricing and warranty registration we give our residential customers.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including. That authorization matters on custom work because warranty registration requires a factory-trained installer to sign off. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper for Lighthouse Point customers so you can compare glass packages, frame finishes, and impact ratings before you commit. And when a Lighthouse Point home has an existing Andersen or Marvin product that needs service rather than replacement, we can often source parts locally and get the repair done in one visit.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Canal-side corrosion on standard aluminum hardware. Fasteners, hinges, and sill pans on canal-facing openings routinely show severe oxidation within 10 to 15 years when someone used non-marine-grade aluminum. The sash seizes, then it won’t open at all.
- Failed HVHZ permit reviews from Palm Beach County products. Contractors from just north of the Broward line often spec products approved for Florida’s standard wind zone, not HVHZ. The Lighthouse Point building department rejects the permit, and the homeowner is left holding a deposit.
- Fogged seals on original single-pane sliders. Homes built between the mid-1950s and late 1970s still carry their original aluminum-framed sliders and jalousies. The seal fails, condensation builds between panes, and the unit’s energy performance is gone.
- Party-wall staging conflicts on narrow lots. On a 50-foot-wide Lighthouse Point lot, staging a dumpster or panel rack on the neighbor’s side triggers a code complaint and stops work. We plan access and staging before the first truck arrives so the job doesn’t stall.
Working on a Tight Lighthouse Point Lot: Staging, Access, and the Quote
Lighthouse Point’s internal canal grid funnels Atlantic easterlies across every elevation, so a non-waterfront home on NE 26th Ave still gets the same salt spray and moisture load as a canal-front lot on the Intracoastal. That is a corrosiveness you won’t find on interior lots in neighboring Pompano Beach, and it changes how we spec every component on the opening. But the canal grid creates another challenge most window companies never mention: access. Many Lighthouse Point lots are 50 feet wide with a driveway that holds two cars and no room for a construction container on the street.
We plan staging before we quote. On a tight lot off NE 31st Ct, our crew replaced a rusted-out 1960s single-pane slider with a Miami-Dade NOA impact-rated casement in a fusion-welded frame, using low-E glass with argon fill to hit a U-factor under 0.30. We scheduled the crane for a narrow side-yard pick, kept staging to one driveway slab, and wrapped all flashing tape before the afternoon squall. The inspection passed on the first trip because the NOA product listing matched Broward’s HVHZ requirement exactly. That’s the difference between a crew that knows Lighthouse Point and one that treats it like any other zip code.
We also handle party-wall notice and work-hour compliance. When a replacement opening sits close to a shared lot line, we notify the neighbor in writing before we start. It costs nothing and keeps the job moving. If the city asks for a site plan amendment because of access, we handle that paperwork too. The quote reflects the real access conditions on your lot, not an assumption.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL
Custom window and door work in Lighthouse Point carries a wider price range than standard replacements because of the dual compliance burden: corrosion-resistant materials plus Broward HVHZ impact ratings. Here is what we see in this market.
- Custom shape windows: $1,800 to $5,500 per opening, depending on size, radius, and glass package.
- Oversized glass panels: $4,000 to $14,000 per panel for impact-rated, NOA-listed units sized for Lighthouse Point canal exposures.
- Architectural grilles & SDLs: $250 to $900 added per opening, depending on grille profile and muntin width.
- Commercial storefront glazing: $85 to $220 per square foot installed, depending on framing system and wind load requirements.
What moves the number: the size of the opening, whether the existing frame is salvageable, access for a crane on a narrow side yard, and which manufacturer line you choose. We give written line-item quotes with the exact product approval number listed so you know the line item you’re paying for. Call (561) 940-2917 to schedule a free estimate. A live person answers.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Yes, Lighthouse Point requires a building permit for any window or door replacement, including a single opening. The city asks for a copy of the product approval: either a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or a Florida Product Approval specifically listing HVHZ compliance. If the approval only covers Florida’s standard wind zone, the permit dies in plan review. We include the correct product approval number on every quote and on the permit application. Call (561) 940-2917 and we’ll walk you through it.
We stage in phases. For most whole-house replacements on narrow Lighthouse Point lots, we schedule deliveries in sequence rather than dropping all panels at once. We keep staging to the driveway slab and a single side yard, and when a crane is needed for oversized panels, we schedule the pick from the narrowest possible footprint. The quote includes the real access plan for your lot, not a guess. Call (561) 940-2917 for a free estimate.
Yes. If your opening sits within a few feet of a shared lot line, we recommend written notice to the neighbor before work starts. It prevents a code complaint that stops the job mid-install. We handle the notice and any site plan amendment the city requires. It keeps the work moving and the neighbors onside. Call (561) 940-2917 with your lot dimensions and we’ll tell you what applies.
Morning-only condensation between the panes means the seal on the insulated glass unit has failed. Overnight humidity from the canals works into the gap, then the morning temperature swing makes it condense. It’s not a cleaning issue. The unit’s insulating gas is gone and the glass cannot perform. On a canal lot in Lighthouse Point, that seal failure also lets salt air into the frame, accelerating corrosion. Replacement is the fix. Call (561) 940-2917 for an exact quote.
Broward County HVHZ requirements apply to every elevation of a Lighthouse Point home, not just the sides facing water. Mixing impact-rated and non-impact windows on different elevations will fail plan review because the code treats the entire structure as inside the high-velocity hurricane zone. The corrosion load from the canal grid hits all four sides anyway, so you’d be protecting the wrong openings. We quote HVHZ-rated products for every opening and register both warranty layers in writing. Call (561) 940-2917 to schedule a free estimate.
