AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lighthouse Point
Window replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $850-$2,400 per opening for most mid-range impact-rated units, with full-frame work on older canal-front homes typically landing between $1,400 and $3,200 per window once rotted framing and waterproofing corrections are factored in. We’ve worked on enough 1960s ranches off Sample Road and canal-side split-levels near the Intracoastal to know what’s waiting behind the stucco before we ever put a saw to the wall. If you’re seeing fogged glass, corroded frames, or a slider that binds in August, call (561) 940-2917 and we’ll come out, take measurements, and walk you through the numbers on paper before you spend a dime.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he kept seeing the same two failures on jobs across South Florida: installs that were out of true, and warranties that evaporated when the homeowner actually needed them. That founding rule, if the pane is not true, the job is not done, is the reason we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. It’s a practice most companies skip because it takes ten extra minutes and holds them accountable.
Lighthouse Point homeowners deal with salt air on every elevation, not just the east-facing wall. That changes how we spec flashing, frame materials, and approval pathways. Our background-checked, uniformed crews measure every opening twice, pull permits on every job that requires one, and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs. When you call (561) 940-2917, a live person answers. Not a call tree, not a callback form, not a regional center. Every job carries our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no fine print and no arguing.
Our Window Replacement Services in Lighthouse Point
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement in Lighthouse Point means pulling the existing window down to the rough opening, including the old jamb, sill pan, and any flashing that’s deteriorated. On canal-adjacent homes, we routinely find aluminum frames so oxidized that fasteners have failed and salt-laden air has been reaching the stud cavity for years. This is the service that actually fixes that, not just covers it. A typical full-frame impact-rated window in Lighthouse Point runs $1,400-$3,200 per opening, including new marine-grade sill pans and HVHZ-compliant flashing detail.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement sets a new window unit into the existing frame, which works when the original frame is square, sound, and dry. Given the age of most Lighthouse Point housing stock, that’s less common here than people hope. We’ll tell you straight if an insert won’t hold up and a full-frame job is the honest fix. Inserts for standard sizes in Lighthouse Point typically run $850-$1,600 per window installed, but canal-side openings rarely qualify once we inspect the frame condition.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Lighthouse Point are less about adding a second layer and more about replacing failed impact protection. If you have original single-pane units with corroded aluminum storm panels bolted to the exterior, you’re not meeting current HVHZ standards and you know it every time a summer squall rolls through. We replace that whole assembly with fusion-welded, impact-rated units carrying Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approvals that list HVHZ explicitly. Expect $1,100-$2,600 per opening depending on size and sightline requirements.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Lighthouse Point’s canal network channels Atlantic easterlies through every street, so homes here lose conditioned air from all sides, not just the sunny west exposure. Upgrading to Low-E insulated glass in thermally broken frames cuts that loss measurably, and it’s often the upgrade that finally lets an aging AC unit cycle off during the day. Energy-efficient window replacement in Lighthouse Point ranges from $950-$2,200 per opening for double-pane units with Low-E coatings and argon fill, installed under permit with the product approvals Broward County requires.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Products spec’d without HVHZ approvals. Contractors from Palm Beach County often quote windows with Florida Product Approvals that only cover non-HVHZ wind zones. Building officials in Broward County will fail that inspection, and we’ve been called in to fix the mess. If the approval doesn’t say HVHZ, it doesn’t belong in Lighthouse Point.
- Corroded flashing tape behind the stucco. Standard aluminum flashing tape breaks down within 10-15 years in canal-side salt spray. By the time you see water stains on the interior drywall, the flashing has already failed and the rough opening is compromised.
- Fogged glass in original single-pane units. Failed seals on 1960s jalousies and fixed-lites are common in Lighthouse Point, and once walls are opened for a remodel, those units no longer meet energy code. Replacing just the glass in a 60-year-old frame rarely makes sense; the frame is usually corroded beyond salvage.
- Binders on canal-side sliders and casements. Salt corrosion on rollers, hinges, and tracks makes canal-facing windows and doors progressively harder to operate. By July, a slider that moved fine in January is often seized enough that homeowners give up and leave it shut, trading ventilation for frustration.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point
Because Lighthouse Point is in Broward County’s HVHZ, and the building official verifies that every replacement unit carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval specifically listing HVHZ. A like-for-like swap that meets that standard passes. One that doesn’t fails, and the permit exists so that failure happens at inspection, not during the next storm. We pull permits on every job that requires one and register both warranty layers in writing before we leave. Call (561) 940-2917 if you want to know whether your current windows meet code.
If they’re original single-pane aluminum and the remodel opens walls, yes. Energy code triggers once you’re pulling permits on the structure, and original units from the 1960s don’t meet current requirements. Point of fact, most of them have already failed seals or corroded frames anyway. In Lighthouse Point specifically, the salt-air environment means a window that “still works” is often a window with hidden fastener failure behind the trim. The cheapest route is usually full replacement during the remodel, not after it, when you’d have to tear into finished work. Call (561) 940-2917 for a free assessment before you finalize your remodel budget.
Lighthouse Point’s dense internal canal grid puts salt-laden air on every elevation of nearly every home, not just the waterfront-facing side. Pompano Beach has salt exposure concentrated near the oceanfront and Intracoastal corridors; Lighthouse Point channels easterly winds across open water throughout the entire city. Aluminum frames, sill pans, and hardware on canal-side windows in Lighthouse Point routinely show severe oxidation within 10-15 years of installation if they weren’t specified for marine-grade exposure from the start. That’s why we stock marine-grade flashing and hardware specifically for Lighthouse Point jobs, not just whatever’s on the truck for a standard inland install. Call (561) 940-2917 and we’ll tell you what your existing frames are up against.
Sometimes, but in Lighthouse Point the frame is usually the problem, not just the glass. If the frame is square, uncorroded, and structurally sound, and the existing unit carries an HVHZ approval, glass replacement can run $400-$800 per unit. Those conditions rarely hold true on original 1960s aluminum frames with decades of canal-side salt exposure. We’ve opened enough jamb cavities in Lighthouse Point to know that what looks like a simple glass swap often reveals failed flashing and a compromised rough opening. We’ll quote the glass replacement if it’s honest; we’ll also tell you if it’s not, and why the full-frame fix costs less than doing it twice.
We stop, document what we found, and show it to you. On a 1960s ranch off Sample Road, we pulled a corroded original jalousie to find the flashing tape delaminated and salt-laden air reaching the rough opening for what looked like years. We priced the correction, got the homeowner’s written approval, installed a marine-grade sill pan with the new window, and passed HVHZ inspection on the first try. That’s the process on every TruePane job: inspection first, any surprise priced in writing before we touch it, and the final bill matches what you approved. Call (561) 940-2917 to talk through what your house might be hiding.
