AfterWindows & Doors Services in Lighthouse Point, FL
If you live in Lighthouse Point, you already know the problem: a canal breeze that sounds lovely at sunset but is quietly eating through your window frames and door hardware every month of the year. Homes here, most of them built between the mid-1950s and late 1970s, often still have their original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousie windows, and the salt air has been working on that metal for decades. TruePane Windows & Doors replaces and services windows and doors throughout Lighthouse Point, with a live person answering the phone at (561) 940-2917 and technicians who know this city’s specific building requirements. The short version: if it faces a canal, it needs more than a standard off-the-shelf fix.
Key Takeaways:
- Lighthouse Point’s canal grid means nearly every home has windows or doors facing open water, and salt-air corrosion is a whole-house issue here, not an east-facing one.
- Broward County’s HVHZ designation requires impact-rated products with specific Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approvals, a permit hurdle that trips up contractors from outside the county.
- TruePane carries impact-rated lines from Andersen, Pella, and PGT, quotes manufacturer options side by side on paper, and registers both warranty layers in writing.
- The Done Right Promise covers workmanship with no fine print, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 at (561) 940-2917.

Why Lighthouse Point Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a rule still written on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard has carried through more than years of community service across South Florida, and it applies to every window and door we touch in Lighthouse Point. Homeowners near the Venetian Isles canals and along NE 31st Court call us for the same reason: they want the work done right the first time, by a company that will still answer the phone if something goes wrong in year three or year ten.
We work throughout Lighthouse Point in neighborhoods like The Villas, the canal-side streets off Federal Highway, and the residential blocks around Dan Witt Park. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before quoting. We do not send a salesperson with a glossy binder. We send someone who will put the manufacturer line options on paper, explain what the HVHZ approval means for your specific opening, and let you decide. A permanent 5% discount applies for seniors and veterans, and the maintenance check is available year-round for anyone who wants existing windows and doors checked before the next storm season.

Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lighthouse Point
Window Installation
New construction and retrofit window installation in Lighthouse Point means squaring every opening before the first fastener goes in, because a frame that is out of true will bind and leak no matter which manufacturer’s sash goes into it. We install Andersen, Marvin, and PGT lines with the HVHZ product approvals Broward County requires on every permit. Window Installation in Lighthouse Point
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and side-lite units in Lighthouse Point contend with salt spray, afternoon heat gain, and hurricane wind loads, so we quote marine-grade hardware and impact-rated slabs as the standard conversation, not an upsell. Most door installations are completed in a single visit. Door Installation in Lighthouse Point
Window Replacement
Replacing the original jalousie windows and single-pane sliders still common in Lighthouse Point means addressing corroded sill pans and fastener failure that has had decades to set in. We remove the old frame, repair or replace the substrate as needed, and set the new unit level and square. Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point
Impact Windows & Doors
Every replacement window or door in Lighthouse Point must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval listing HVHZ, and we quote those products as the default because anything less will fail inspection. We install impact lines from PGT, CGI, and others, with both warranty layers registered before the truck leaves.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Canal-facing glass gets beat by reflected sunlight off the water in a way interior lots never see, and Low-E coatings paired with insulated frames cut both heat gain and your cooling bill. We will show you the numbers for each glass package on paper, not in a website badge.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliders in Lighthouse Point age fast in the salt environment, binding in summer humidity and corroding at the track and rollers. We replace full units, rebuild tracks, and align panels so a door opens with one hand in July and seals tight in a storm.
Glass Railing Systems
Where a home’s elevation opens to the canal, glass railings are often the only thing between a guest and the water, and they need tempered, code-compliant panels set in corrosion-resistant hardware. We design and install railings that pass inspection and hold up to marine exposure.
Custom Windows & Doors
Lighthouse Point has a fair share of mid-century homes with opening sizes no modern stock unit matches. We measure, fabricate, and install fully custom windows and doors that meet HVHZ impact ratings without distorting the original sightlines.

Why Lighthouse Point’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lighthouse Point’s dense canal grid does something to exterior glass and metal that most of South Florida’s inland neighborhoods never experience. The canals channel the prevailing Atlantic easterlies through the entire city, carrying salt-laden air across every elevation of a house. A window on the west side of a Lighthouse Point home gets hammered almost as hard as one on the east side, because the water is on all sides. Aluminum frames, sill pans, and door hardware on canal-side openings routinely show severe oxidation and fastener failure within a decade or two when the original spec was not marine-grade. A homeowner in Pompano Beach may replace a slider for mechanical reasons. In Lighthouse Point, the replacement is usually equally about corrosion, binding, and rusted hardware.
On top of that, Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation under the Florida Building Code means every window and door replacement must carry product approvals meeting the strictest impact standards in the state. Contractors based in Palm Beach County, one county north, sometimes spec products approved only for non-HVHZ wind zones and then watch the permit fail in Lighthouse Point. We quote for the HVHZ code from the first conversation, because that is the only conversation that matters here.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Expect to pay more in Lighthouse Point than in an inland city, and there is an honest reason: impact-rated HVHZ products with marine-grade hardware cost more than standard windows. Here is a practical range for planning purposes:
- Single window replacement (impact-rated, standard size): $900 to $2,200
- Full-frame window replacement with substrate repair: $1,800 to $4,500 per opening
- Sliding patio door replacement (impact-rated): $3,500 to $8,000
- Entry door replacement with side lites: $2,500 to $6,500
- Glass railing system (per linear foot): $350 to $800
- maintenance check on existing windows and doors
Every quote is line-item and fixed before work begins, with no surprise charges added to the bill. Seniors and veterans always receive a 5% discount, and any repair over $250 carries a $50 credit at TruePane. Call (561) 940-2917 for an exact number on your specific openings. The estimate is free.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Window replacement in Lighthouse Point typically runs $900 to $4,500 per opening depending on size, frame condition, and whether full-frame replacement with substrate repair is needed. Impact-rated products required by Broward County’s HVHZ code push the number toward the upper end. Call (561) 940-2917 for a fixed line-item quote, which is free and covers your specific openings.
The canal grid means salt-laden air passes across every side of a home, not just the waterfront-facing elevation, and aluminum frames and hardware oxidize from all directions. Original 1950s and 1960s frames are especially vulnerable because they were never spec’d for marine exposure. TruePane quotes marine-grade hardware as standard on Lighthouse Point jobs.
Yes. Lighthouse Point falls under Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation, which requires every replacement window and door to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval listing HVHZ. Anything less fails inspection. We quote HVHZ-approved products from the first conversation.
Yes, we fabricate fully custom windows and doors for the non-standard openings common in 1950s and 1960s canal homes. Custom sizing does not exempt the unit from HVHZ impact requirements, and we order custom impact glazing to the exact dimensions of your existing frame. Call (561) 940-2917 for a measurement and quote.
No. TruePane quotes fixed, line-item pricing before work begins, and the number on the written quote is the number on the final bill. If we uncover hidden substrate damage during removal, we show it to you, explain it, and agree on any additional scope in writing before proceeding.
If you have a window that will not close square, a door that binds in July, or a slider with rust at the track, call (561) 940-2917. A live person answers, and the estimate is free.

What Lighthouse Point Customers Say
"French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S."Eleven windows replaced in two days. The crew chief, Marcus, showed me the level on every single frame before they caulked it. My wife noticed the street noise was gone before I did."
- Ronald P."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L.
