Trusted Impact Windows for Coral Gables Homeowners
Impact windows in Coral Gables run between $900 and $1,800 per opening installed, depending on the size, the brand you choose, and whether the existing frame can be reused. A full home replacement with impact-rated windows and doors, common in Coral Gables homes built between the 1920s and 1970s, typically falls between $18,000 and $45,000. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed and serviced impact windows across Coral Gables since our founding roots took hold in 2008, under the direction of second-generation glazier Dale Kessler. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (954) 507-3613, so if you have a cracked pane or a window that failed inspection, you get someone who speaks the trade, not a call center.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Coral Gables. We are the last call you should need to make on an impact window or door. Every job carries The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. Every job carries a Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
What Our Impact Windows Service Includes
Impact windows are not a single product. They are a system of laminated glass, heavy-duty frames, and anchoring that has to work together. Here is how we handle each piece of that system in Coral Gables.
Impact-Rated Window Installation
An impact-rated window is built with two layers of annealed glass bonded to a plastic interlayer. Under storm pressure, the glass may crack, but it stays in the frame, so wind and water stay outside. We install Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code approved systems from manufacturers like PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, with the anchoring schedule called for by your home’s construction type. In Coral Gables’s older concrete block and wood frame homes, that anchoring detail matters more than the glass itself. We measure every opening twice, quote the manufacturer line you asked for, and register both warranty layers before the crew leaves.

Impact Window Replacement
If your existing impact windows are fogged, binding, or showing seal failure at the edges, the glass has to come out and new insulated laminated units go in. We replace the sash or the full frame depending on what the opening can support and what the code office will pass. Coral Gables code enforcement is particular about historic district approvals, and we have worked through enough of them to know which paperwork goes in first. We pull permits when the job requires it, schedule the inspection, and stand behind the work with the Done Right Promise.

Impact Door Installation and Replacement
An impact-rated front or rear door carries the same wind load as a window, plus the deadbolt, hinges, and threshold all have to meet the same rating. We install impact French doors, single-entry doors, sliding glass doors, and garden doors with the right anchoring into the rough opening. If your existing door binds in July, the frame has moved and you likely have a water intrusion path already. We square the opening, set the door true, and check the reveal with a level before we caulk and clad.

Impact Glass Railing Systems
Glass railings in Coral Gables serve two jobs: fall protection and wind resistance on elevated decks and balconies. We install code-compliant systems with laminated glass that meets Miami-Dade pressure requirements. The anchor posts and the glass thickness depend on the deck height and exposure, which we confirm with the manufacturer’s engineering table before ordering. If you have an existing railing that rattles or shows cracks at the mounts, it should be inspected before the next named storm.

Energy-Efficient Impact Windows
Impact windows can be energy-efficient without giving up the storm rating. Low-E coatings and argon fill can be specified into the laminated units we install from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, cutting heat gain through Coral Gables’s west-facing glass without dropping the design pressure number. We show you the performance data side by side on paper, so you see what the Low-E coating is actually doing before you spend the money. If your electric bill spikes between June and October, the windows are part of the conversation.

Custom Impact Windows
Coral Gables has no shortage of unusual openings: arched tops, casement patterns, fixed picture windows with a mullion pattern that has to match the original. We order custom sizes through manufacturers, including ES Windows and CGI, then install them with the same anchoring and sealing discipline as a standard opening. Custom glass takes longer to arrive, usually four to six weeks, which we tell you before you sign anything. The cardboard one-season window is not something we sell.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we work most often with CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems in Coral Gables. We have installed enough CGI impact windows to know their anchoring patterns and seal details without reading the cut sheet on site. We quote ES Windows on homes in the historic districts when the original sightlines have to stay. And we use ECO Window Systems when the budget matters and the homeowner still wants an impact rating, not a compromise.
We are not married to one brand. We carry no house line we have to push. If you have a CWS window from a previous install that is fogging or a PGT door that refuses to latch, we service what is there. Whether you have one of those brands, an Andersen impact line, or something the original builder picked forty years ago, we can inspect it, quote it, and fix it.
Dale Kessler’s founding rule still governs how we work: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. A square deal, written down, before we cut anything.
Signs You Need Impact Windows Right Now
- Fog between the panes. That haze means the seal has failed and the insulating gas is gone. The window still keeps some wind out, but it is no longer doing the job you paid for, and in Coral Gables humidity it will only get worse.
- A binding window or door. When a frame moves or the opening settles, the sash or slab stops riding clean. That is a sign the frame is no longer square, and it usually means water is finding a way in somewhere.
- Visible impact damage from a past storm. A chip or crack from a flying branch is not cosmetic. The window’s storm rating is compromised, and the next storm loads on an already-damaged unit.
- Failed post-storm inspection. If a building inspector flagged windows after the last named storm, the replacement has to meet current Miami-Dade code. We handle the permit and the inspection so the repair closes out clean.
- Original single-pane glass from the 1970s. Coral Gables still has homes with original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows. They are not impact-rated and they never will be. The upgrade is a safety decision, not a style choice.
Our Impact Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. When you call (954) 507-3613, a live person answers, 24/7. We ask about the property, the age of the windows, and what you are seeing. If it sounds like something we can quote over the phone with the right measurements, we will tell you. If it needs eyes on site, we schedule the visit.
- 2
Site measurement and inspection. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures every opening twice, checks the existing frames for square, and photographs the mounting conditions. We note the window type, the exposure, and whether the opening is in a Coral Gables historic district.
- 3
Written line-item quote. We put manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with the performance ratings and the warranty durations stated. No verbal ballparks, no change orders hiding in the truck. If the price changes during the job for any reason, the quote said so in advance.
- 4
Permit, install, and inspection. We pull the permit when the city requires it, install to the manufacturer’s anchoring schedule, and call for the inspection. When the inspector passes it, you get the record. If the inspector flags anything, we make it right before the job closes.
- 5
Warranty registration and follow-up. Before the truck leaves, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated. Then the Done Right Promise starts. If something is not done right, you call, we come back, and there is no paperwork argument.
How Much Does Impact Windows Cost in Coral Gables?
A typical impact window replacement in Coral Gables runs $900 to $1,800 per opening installed. A standard 36-by-60-inch single-hung impact window with a mid-range brand like CGI or ES Windows lands near the middle of that range. An impact sliding glass door runs $4,000 to $7,500 installed. A custom arched window or a historically sensitive restoration runs higher because the glass is cut to order and the install has more labor.
- Entry-level impact single-hung, per window: $900 - $1,200
- Mid-range impact casement or picture window, per opening: $1,300 - $1,800
- Impact sliding glass door, standard 72-by-80: $4,000 - $6,000
- Impact French door, pair: $5,500 - $7,500
- Full home impact replacement, 20 openings: $18,000 - $36,000
What moves the price: glass size, frame material, the manufacturer, whether the rough opening needs rebuild work, and whether the city requires a permit. What should not move the price: vague change orders, surprise line items, or a second visit that was not disclosed up front. We quote fixed pricing before any work starts, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Call (954) 507-3613 for a free estimate. You will get numbers on paper, not a fuzzy range with a salesman attached.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows in Coral Gables
Impact windows are laminated glass units built to resist windborne debris and storm pressures. The glass has a plastic interlayer that keeps it in the frame even if the outer pane is struck and cracks. In Coral Gables, impact windows must meet Miami-Dade County product approval standards for wind pressures that vary by your home’s exposure and height. Call (954) 507-3613 for a free estimate and we will verify the rating your specific opening requires.
Most standard impact window replacements are done in a single visit, usually one to two days depending on how many openings you are replacing. Custom glass adds four to six weeks of manufacturing lead time before the install. We tell you the timeline in the written quote, and we do not leave a second appointment hanging unless the manufacturer caused the delay and we told you up front. Call (954) 507-3613 for a specific schedule based on your home.
Standard impact windows run $900 to $1,800 per opening installed, and full homes typically run $18,000 to $45,000 depending on the window count, brand, and framing. Impact doors run higher, in the $4,000 to $7,500 range. The free estimate we provide is a written line-item quote, so you see exactly where the money goes and what warranty you are registering. Call (954) 507-3613 for a free estimate.
Yes. We are an authorized installer for both CGI and ES Windows, and we service what is already in your home. If you have a fogged CGI sash or an ES Windows casement that will not close, we replace the sealed unit or the hardware without trying to sell you a whole new window. Call (954) 507-3613 and tell us the brand on the glass etching; that tells us a lot before we even arrive.
We keep a live person on the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we work to get a technician to Coral Gables homeowners quickly when a window is breached and a storm is approaching. If a tree limb takes out a pane before landfall, we can board it or replace it depending on what the weather allows. Call (954) 507-3613 any hour and a person will answer. If we can safely get a crew to you, we will.
You get two layers of protection. The manufacturer’s warranty covers the glass and frame, and we register it in writing with the duration stated before we leave. Then our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. If something is not done right in the first 90 days, we come back and make it right, no arguing. That is The Keystone Standard on every TruePane job. Call (954) 507-3613 for a quote that spells out both warranty layers in plain language.
Move furniture and valuables away from the window openings the day before we arrive. Clear the exterior area around each opening so the crew can work from both sides. If you have hurricane shutters or accordion shutters, we will work around them or remove and reinstall them if they interfere. We walk the job with you before any work starts, so any preparation questions get answered then. Call (954) 507-3613 for a free estimate and we will walk you through it.
