AfterPicture & Fixed Windows in Coral Gables, FL
A picture window installation in Coral Gables typically costs between $650 and $1,400 per opening, depending on the glass package, frame material, and the specific wind-load requirements for your home. Most residential fixed window projects are completed in a single day. If you are looking for an honest assessment of whether a stationary window fits your architectural style or if you need to address a failed seal on an existing pane, we are ready to help. Call us at (954) 507-3613 to schedule a free estimate.
At TruePane Windows & Doors, we treat every window project as a permanent addition to your home. Fixed windows, often called picture windows, are stationary units that do not open. Because they lack the mechanical components found in casement or sliding windows, they offer a clearer view, better energy efficiency, and a tighter seal against the humid Coral Gables climate. We have been installing these windows since 2008, and our approach remains grounded in the founding rule set by Dale Kessler: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
When you choose us for your Window Installation in Coral Gables, you are not just buying glass. You are buying the peace of mind that comes with The Keystone Standard. This means we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. We do not believe in paperwork fights or arguing over fine print. We show up, we install the window to code, and we ensure the job is right the first time.
Why Choose Fixed Windows for Your Home
Homeowners in Coral Gables often choose picture windows to maximize natural light and capture the views of their property. Because these windows do not operate, they are inherently more airtight than venting windows. In our local climate, where air conditioning demand is high for most of the year, this airtight seal is a significant advantage for lowering utility costs.
A fixed window is often the best choice when you want to frame a specific view, such as a garden or a pool area, without the obstruction of meeting rails or hardware. We frequently install these units in living rooms, dining areas, and entryway foyers. Because they have no moving parts like rollers, tracks, or hinges, they are less prone to mechanical failure. However, they must be installed with precise shimming and proper exterior flashing to prevent water intrusion, which is a common problem in South Florida.
We work with trusted manufacturers like CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. These brands provide the impact-resistant glass required by local building codes. Whether you are living in a historic home near the Biltmore or a newer construction in Gables Estates, we select the frame profile and glass tint that complements your home. We do not push one brand over another; we bring samples to your home so you can see the difference in frame thickness and glass clarity side by side.
When You Need Picture & Fixed Windows
You might be considering a new fixed window or a replacement for several reasons. Recognizing these symptoms early can save you from more expensive structural repairs down the road.
- Fogging between the panes: If you see a milky or hazy appearance inside the glass unit, the desiccant has become saturated. This means the seal has failed, and the window is no longer insulating your home. This is a common issue we see in older homes across Coral Gables due to the intense sun exposure and humidity cycles.
- Drafts or water leaks: If you feel air moving around the perimeter of the frame or see signs of moisture on your interior drywall after a heavy rain, the original flashing or caulking has degraded. We often find that older installations lack the proper water management systems required by current codes.
- Upgrading to impact glass: Many homeowners in our area are replacing older, non-impact windows to meet modern hurricane codes. If your current windows are not rated for impact, a fixed window is often the most cost-effective way to secure a large opening.
- Reframing a view: Sometimes, homeowners want to replace a multi-lite window with a single, large pane of glass to remove visual clutter. We can assess the structural header of your wall to ensure the opening can support the weight of a large, single-pane unit.
- Reducing maintenance: If you have windows that you never open, replacing them with fixed units removes the need for hardware maintenance and reduces the points where air and water can penetrate your home.
Our Picture & Fixed Windows Process
We do not treat installation as a transaction. We treat it as a craft. When you call us at (954) 507-3613, we start a process that ensures you are informed and confident in what we are installing.
- The Initial Assessment: We arrive at your home on time. We measure the rough opening twice to ensure accuracy. We look at the existing framing, the condition of the exterior stucco or siding, and the specific wind-load requirements for your address in Coral Gables.
- Side-by-Side Quoting: We do not guess what you want. We present manufacturer lines from companies like PGT, CGI, or ES Windows on paper. You see the cost of the glass, the frame, and the installation labor clearly. There are no hidden fees.
- The Installation Day: Our technicians are uniformed and background-checked. We cover your floors and furniture. We remove the old unit carefully, inspect the rough opening for rot or structural issues, and install the new unit using the correct shims and sealants. We verify that the unit is square, level, and plumb.
- The Keystone Standard Check: Before we leave, we verify that the window operates as intended, even if it is a fixed unit, by checking the seal integrity and the exterior flashing. We register your warranty layers right there on the spot.
- The Done Right Promise: We stand behind our work. If you find an issue with the installation, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing. We built this company to be here for the long haul, and we want you to be a neighbor for the next years.
Picture & Fixed Windows Pricing in Coral Gables
Pricing for fixed windows varies based on the size of the opening, the glass specifications (such as impact-resistant laminated glass vs. standard tempered glass), and the frame material (aluminum or vinyl). In the Coral Gables market, you should expect to pay for the quality of the product and the precision of the installation.
| Service Type | Estimated Price Range |
| Standard Non-Impact Fixed Window | $650 – $950 per unit |
| Impact-Resistant Fixed Window | $900 – $1,400 per unit |
| Large Format or Custom Shaped Window | $1,200 – $2,200+ per unit |
Please note that these ranges are estimates. Factors such as the height of the installation (second-story work), the need for scaffolding, or the complexity of the existing framing can affect the total cost. We always provide a firm, upfront price during our site visit. We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, and we have a a free written repair estimate promotion for those who need a quick fix rather than a full replacement. Call us at (954) 507-3613 to get an exact quote for your home.
FAQs - Picture & Fixed Windows
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a fixed window?
If the glass seal has failed, causing fogging, the unit must be replaced because the insulated glass unit (IGU) is a sealed, factory-manufactured component that cannot be repaired. If the issue is simply a cracked seal around the exterior frame, we can often repair the flashing or re-caulk the perimeter, which is significantly cheaper than replacing the entire window. Call (954) 507-3613 so we can take a look and give you an honest recommendation.
Can you match my existing window style?
Yes, we work with over a dozen manufacturers, allowing us to find a frame profile and color that matches the existing windows in your home. Whether you have a specific architectural style common in Coral Gables or a newer home with modern framing, we can source a product that blends in. We bring physical samples to your home during the estimate so you can see the match before you commit.
How long does the installation take?
Most single or double fixed window installations are completed in a single day. If you are replacing a larger set of windows or if the project involves structural modifications to the wall, it may take longer, but we will provide you with a clear timeline before we start work. We arrive when we say we will, and we do not leave your home until the work is done right.
Do fixed windows need to meet hurricane codes in Coral Gables?
Yes, any new window installation or replacement in Coral Gables must comply with current Florida building codes regarding wind-borne debris and impact resistance. We are experts in these requirements and ensure that every window we install meets or exceeds the necessary impact ratings for our area. We handle the technical compliance so you do not have to worry about it.
