AfterWindows & Doors Services in Sunset, FL
If you live in Sunset and your windows fog between the panes, bind when you try to open them, or let the afternoon heat pour through like the glass isn’t even there, you’re dealing with the same thing most of your neighbors are: a house built before Miami-Dade’s post-Andrew code existed, with original aluminum frames that were never meant to handle 2026’s storms or humidity. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been setting things right in Sunset for years. A live person answers our phone at (954) 507-3613 any hour, any day, and we’ll send a technician who knows this neighborhood’s housing stock the way a mechanic knows a certain era of engine.

Why Sunset Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Most of the calls we take from Sunset start the same way: a homeowner has put off a window or door problem for years, then a storm season warning comes through, or an insurance letter arrives, and suddenly the fogged slider on the back porch is a deadline. They’ve often had a contractor out before and heard a pitch more than a plan. We work differently. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means every opening gets measured twice, every quote shows manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and both warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves the driveway.
We serve homeowners throughout Sunset, from the CBS ranch clusters north of Sunset Drive to the tree-lined streets around Floyd Park and the blocks east of the Turnpike. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained as apprentices into journeymen. The Done Right Promise covers the workmanship on every job, and The Keystone Standard means the manufacturer warranties are registered, with durations stated, so there’s no paperwork fight if something fails later.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Sunset
Window Installation
New window installation in Sunset starts with measuring every rough opening twice, because a 1960s CBS wall is rarely exactly square. We install units that carry valid Miami-Dade NOA numbers and stand behind the work in writing.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Sunset.
Door Installation
Exterior doors in Sunset take a beating from salt air and summer humidity, and a hollow-core original from 1972 does almost nothing for security or insulation. We install impact-rated and energy-efficient entry doors set plumb, with hardware that won’t corrode in two seasons.
Learn more about our Door Installation in Sunset.
Window Replacement
Most Sunset homes need full window replacement rather than glass-only swaps, because the original aluminum frames are oxidized past the point of saving. We replace them with units that meet the HVHZ standard and improve the way the house holds cool air.

Impact Windows & Doors
Impact windows and doors are not optional in Sunset if you want to satisfy your insurer and sleep through a named storm. We install Miami-Dade approved units from manufacturers like CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, registered in writing before we leave.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Miami-Dade heat doesn’t let up, and single-pane aluminum transfers it straight into your living room. Energy-efficient windows with low-E glass and proper thermal breaks cut the load on your AC and keep the west-facing rooms bearable by 3 p.m.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Original single-track sliders on 1960s Sunset homes are often the first opening to fail an insurance audit after a storm. We replace them with modern impact-rated sliders that roll smoothly and seal tight against wind-driven rain.
Glass Railing Systems
We install frameless and semi-frameless glass railings for patios, balconies, and pool decks throughout Sunset. The glass is tempered, the hardware is corrosion-resistant, and the engineering is done to Miami-Dade standards.
Custom Windows & Doors
Some Sunset homes have unusual openings, arched transoms, or mid-century proportions that off-the-shelf units won’t fit. We build custom windows and doors to match the opening and the era of the house, without compromise on code.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Sunset
Our crews work throughout Sunset and know the local blocks well enough to spot the house styles and code issues before we step out of the truck. Most appointments get scheduled within a few days, and the quote comes on paper, line by line.

Why Sunset’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Sunset sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the only jurisdiction in the country where every window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That’s a product-approval standard that is categorically stricter than Florida’s statewide building code, and it exists because this area has been hit hard before. Most of Sunset’s homes are one- and two-story concrete block and stucco ranches built between the late 1950s and the mid-1980s, before Hurricane Andrew reshaped the code in 1994. The original openings on those houses, louvered aluminum jalousie windows, single-pane sliders, hollow-core entry doors, don’t come close to the current HVHZ impact-resistance minimums.
The dense concentration of pre-1992 CBS ranch homes with original aluminum jalousie and single-track sliding glass assemblies drives a sustained retrofit market here, pushed by post-Andrew code mandates and by the homeowners’ insurance penalties for non-impact-rated openings. Add year-round heat, 80%-plus humidity, and salt-laden air, and you get aluminum frame oxidation and failed glazing compounds faster than almost anywhere else in Florida. A unit that passes statewide code or clears inspections in Broward County is still legally non-installable in Sunset without a valid Miami-Dade NOA number stamped on the product. Contractors who source AAMA-certified but non-NOA glass will fail the rough inspection and leave homeowners unable to satisfy insurance claims after a named storm. We don’t make that mistake.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Sunset
In Sunset, expect to pay roughly $1,200 to $2,800 per opening for impact-rated replacement windows, with full-home retrofits on typical 3/2 CBS ranch homes running between $18,000 and $55,000 depending on the number of openings and the manufacturer line you choose. The exact number comes down to what’s behind the drywall, which we confirm with a free on-site measurement. Call (954) 507-3613 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
No. We quote in writing and the number on the quote is the number on the bill. If we uncover something unexpected, we stop and discuss it with you before proceeding, but there are never surprise line items at the end. That’s the square deal we’ve built the company on.
Yes. Miami-Dade’s permitting process is strict, and we handle the paperwork, pull the necessary permits, and schedule the inspections as part of the job. You won’t be asked to chase down a permit or deal with the county yourself.
Most single-opening window or sliding door replacements are completed in one day. Full-home retrofits usually run three to seven days depending on the scope and what the inspector’s schedule looks like. We’ll give you a clear timeline in the quote and stick to it.
The NOA is Miami-Dade’s product-approval standard for windows and doors, and no window or door replacement in Sunset can legally be installed without it. If your contractor can’t show you the NOA number for the product before installation, stop the job and call someone who can. Call (954) 507-3613 and we’ll walk you through it.

What Sunset 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."
