AfterWindows & Doors Services in South Miami, FL
If you live in South Miami and your jalousie windows rattle every time a storm rolls through, or your aluminum slider sticks in the July humidity, you’re not alone. Most of the homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and their original windows and doors simply weren’t designed for Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. TruePane Windows & Doors serves South Miami with installation, replacement, and repair of windows and doors built to meet today’s code. Call (954) 507-3613 and you’ll get a live person, not a phone tree.

Why South Miami Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Our crews work throughout South Miami, from the tree-lined streets around Dante Fascell Park to the mid-century blocks near South Miami High School. Homeowners here tend to keep their houses for decades. That’s exactly the kind of customer we work for. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 around a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Since then, the company has built its name on honest measurements, written warranty registration, and a Done Right Promise that means what it says.
Every technician who comes to your South Miami home is background-checked and uniformed. We measure every opening twice because we’d rather catch a discrepancy at the estimate stage than at the install. And we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see what you’re paying for. We’re an authorized installer for over a dozen lines, including PGT and CGI, both of which make NOA-approved impact products for the South Florida market.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in South Miami
We’re a full-service window and door company for South Miami homeowners. From full-frame impact replacements to a single fogged pane, we’ll give you an honest read on what needs doing and what can wait.
Window Installation
New construction or major renovation, we install windows that meet Miami-Dade NOA requirements and stay true for decades. Our crews have installed everything from double-hung units in updated ranches to oversized picture windows overlooking South Miami’s oak canopy.
Learn more about our Window Installation in South Miami.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, French doors, and side garage doors all need proper flashing and anchoring to keep water out of a CBS home’s block walls. We install doors from manufacturers including Marvin and Jeld-Wen, with hardware properly set and thresholds sealed tight.
Learn more about our Door Installation in South Miami.
Window Replacement
If your original jalousies or aluminum sliders can’t hold a seal against summer humidity, replacement is the fix. We remove old frames back to the block, install NOA-approved units, and haul away the debris.

Impact Windows & Doors
South Miami sits inside the HVHZ, so impact-rated glazing is a permit requirement, not an option. We carry lines from PGT and ES Windows and register both manufacturer warranty layers before we leave your driveway.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-e glass and thermally broken frames make a real difference in a town where the air conditioning runs nearly year-round. A proper retrofit cuts heat gain and keeps rooms off Sunset Drive noticeably cooler.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Older aluminum sliders bind, leak, and fight you every time you open them. We replace with smooth-gliding impact-rated doors that lock up square and drain water away from the threshold.
Glass Railing Systems
For pool decks and raised patios, glass railings hold up to South Miami’s weather while preserving the view. We install either frameless or post-mounted systems, anchored per Miami-Dade structural code.
Custom Windows & Doors
Odd openings, architectural glass, and out-of-production sizes are routine for us. We’ll measure, order, and build to spec, so you get a proper fit without waiting a fiscal quarter.

Why South Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
South Miami’s housing stock is dominated by CBS ranch homes built from the 1950s through the late 1970s. Many of them still have original jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum sliders. Those products predate every hurricane standard on the books today. Under current Miami-Dade code, you can’t retrofit a jalousie to achieve HVHZ compliance. If opening protection is required or you want impact protection on that wall, the entire opening must be reframed and a NOA-approved window or door installed. Whole-opening replacements require permits, which means your project applies at the planning stage, not just at the counter. We explain this on the first visit so the budget you receive reflects the job that actually must be done.
It’s not only storms. Year-round subtropical humidity oxidizes aluminum frames and degrades weatherstripping. Homes on quiet streets miles from the coast still get air and water intrusion through frames that look fine from the sidewalk. On older South Miami ranches, we often find condensation between panes of sash windows that aren’t even 20 years old. The climate here keeps us busy with seal failures and binding doors, not just impact upgrades.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in South Miami
Below are typical installed price ranges for South Miami projects as of 2025. Every house is different, so treat these as guidance, not a quote:

FAQs About Windows & Doors in South Miami
Window replacement in South Miami typically costs between $850 and $2,400 per window installed, depending on whether you need a standard unit or an HVHZ-compliant impact window. The wider range reflects what we see on original-framed 1950s-1970s CBS homes. Full-frame removal costs more than pulling an insert because the opening must be reframed to current code. Call (954) 507-3613 and we’ll give you a written number based on your actual openings.
No. The quoted price is the price, unless the opening reveals structural damage behind the old frame, which we cannot see before demolition. If we find a rotted header or termite damage, we stop, photograph it, and bring you the revised number before doing anything else. We don’t bury change orders in the final bill.
Yes. Every replacement in South Miami requires a Miami-Dade permit, and we handle all paperwork and inspections. Our technician will walk you through what gets filed and when. Inspections are typically scheduled within a few days of completion.
If the issue is a broken slat or a crank mechanism, we can often repair it. But if you want impact protection or an energy upgrade, a jalousie cannot be retrofitted to meet HVHZ code. South Miami inspectors require full-frame removal and replacement with a NOA-approved unit. We’ll tell you which path applies to your house before any work begins.
Most full-frame replacements on CBS ranch homes take two to three days from start to inspection. That includes removal of the old frame, installation of the new unit, sealing, and a final walkthrough. Single fixture replacements often finish same day. We coordinate the inspection schedule so you’re not waiting a week for sign-off.

What South Miami Customers Say
"Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G."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.
