Replacing windows and doors in Westchester means working inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that changes the conversation before the first measurement is taken. A live person answers our phone around the clock at (954) 507-3613, and the technician who shows up at your door knows Westchester’s housing stock well enough to predict what’s behind the stucco before the old frame comes out. We walk the property with you, measure twice, and put the quote on paper while you’re standing there.

Why Westchester Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Westchester neighborhoods like Coral Park and Fontainebleau are full of concrete block ranches that have stood through more than a few hurricane seasons. The homeowners who call us have usually lived in those houses for decades. They aren’t looking for the cheapest bid. They want an installer who will still be answering the phone in fifteen years if something goes sideways. Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 on a simple rule that has governed every install since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’ve spent the years since building a reputation in Westchester for showing up when we say, keeping the work area clean, and standing behind every job with The Keystone Standard, a written promise that both manufacturer warranty layers get registered before our truck leaves your driveway, along with a Done Right Promise that means exactly what it says. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most jobs in a single visit, and Westchester homeowners often tell us the estimate was the most straightforward part of the process. We serve the area south of Coral Way and along Bird Road with the same crew standards we’d apply in our own homes.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westchester
Window Installation
New window installation in Westchester begins with understanding the existing rough opening in your CBS wall. We measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and set the frame true before any fastening happens. Learn more about our Window Installation in Westchester.
Door Installation
Entry doors, interior doors, and exterior door systems in Westchester need to hold a seal against humidity and hurricane-driven rain. We install doors that close square and latch correctly, with thresholds that don’t rot out in two years. Learn more about our Door Installation in Westchester.
Window Replacement
When a Westchester ranch still has original jalousie windows or fogged double-pane units, replacement is usually the most cost-effective fix. We remove the old unit, prepare the buck, and install the new window with the proper flashing and stucco repair. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Westchester.
Impact Windows & Doors
Every Impact Windows & Doors in Westchester we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That’s not an upgrade here. It’s the baseline for a product that’s actually legal to install in this building code zone, and it’s also what your insurance company wants to see after a windstorm mitigation inspection.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Westchester’s summer sun does real damage to window seals and frames. Energy-Efficient Windows in Westchester with low-E coatings and insulated frames cuts heat gain and reduces the load on your air conditioner during the months when it runs hardest.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliding & Patio Doors - Westchester get heavy use in Florida rooms and back patios. We install tracks that roll without binding, panels that seal against wind-driven rain, and impact-rated glass where the code requires it.
Glass Railing Systems
For Westchester homeowners with terraces, balconies, or pool decks, Glass Railing Systems - Westchester offer an unobstructed view without compromising safety. We fabricate and install tempered glass panels that meet local structural requirements.
Custom Windows & Doors
Not every Westchester home fits a stock opening. We build custom windows and doors to match unusual dimensions, architectural styles, or a homeowner’s specific performance requirements, always with the same warranty registration and workmanship guarantee.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westchester
Our crews work throughout Westchester regularly, and we know the side streets as well as the main corridors. Most estimates get scheduled within a couple of days of your call to (954) 507-3613.

Why Westchester’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westchester sits entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, one of only two counties in the entire United States with that designation. Every window and door replacement here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product approval standard stricter than anywhere else in Florida or the country. The housing stock compounds the need. Westchester is overwhelmingly post-WWII concrete block and stucco single-family ranches built from the late 1940s through the 1970s, and a large share of those homes still have original jalousie, or louvered-glass, windows in bathrooms, Florida rooms, and carport entries. Those openings are hurricane-code non-compliant and frequently flagged by insurers as uninsurable without replacement.
Sitting in Miami-Dade’s humid subtropical interior just a few miles west of Biscayne Bay, Westchester gets the full force of Atlantic hurricane tracks, intense UV radiation that degrades non-impact seals and vinyl frames within a few years, and year-round humidity that rots wood thresholds and door frames quickly. That combination makes Miami-Dade NOA-rated aluminum-framed impact glass the near-universal specification here, not an upgrade option. Local contractors know to quote jalousie conversion packages as a default when walking older Westchester ranches, because jalousie windows appear not just in bathrooms but in full Florida-room walls and carport doors. A single Citizens Insurance inspection or policy renewal letter often triggers whole-house replacements, making multi-opening impact retrofit jobs the norm rather than single-window calls.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Westchester
Windows and doors pricing depends on the opening size, the product line, and whether the existing frame can be salvaged. In Westchester, a standard single impact window replacement typically runs between $900 and $2,400 installed. A jalousie conversion to an impact-rated fixed or casement window usually runs from $1,200 to $2,800, depending on the size of the opening and the stucco work required. Entry door replacements, including impact-rated doors, generally run from $1,800 to $5,000. Sliding patio door replacements typically fall between $3,000 and $8,000. These are honest ranges, not teaser prices, and every quote we give is line-itemed on paper before any work begins.
| Service | Typical Range (Westchester) |
|---|---|
| Single impact window replacement | $900 - $2,400 |
| Jalousie conversion (to impact-rated unit) | $1,200 - $2,800 |
| Entry door replacement (impact-rated) | $1,800 - $5,000 |

| Glass railing system (per linear foot) | $150 - $400 |

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westchester
Replacing jalousie windows in Westchester typically costs between $1,200 and $2,800 per opening, depending on the size of the window, whether you’re converting to a fixed or casement impact-rated unit, and the amount of stucco patching required around the frame. Jalousie conversion is so common in Westchester because these louvered-glass windows are everywhere in the neighborhood’s 1950s and 1960s concrete block ranches, and insurers routinely flag them as non-compliant with Miami-Dade wind code. Call (954) 507-3613 for an exact quote on your specific openings, estimates are free.
Yes, every new or replacement window and door in Westchester must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), which certifies the product for use in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That applies to every opening in the home, not just the ones facing the street. Our team only installs NOA-approved products from manufacturers like CGI, PGT, and ES Windows, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the job is finished.
In most cases, replacing non-impact jalousie windows with NOA-rated impact glass does reduce windstorm insurance premiums, though the exact savings depends on your policy and your insurer. Many Westchester homeowners start this process after receiving a Citizens Insurance inspection notice, and the replacement gets documented through a windstorm mitigation report. Call (954) 507-3613 and we can walk you through what the inspection paperwork means for your specific house.
Most single-opening replacements in Westchester are completed in one visit, usually within half a day once the old unit is out and the new frame is set. Multi-opening impact retrofit jobs, like converting every jalousie window in a Florida room, can take two to five days depending on the scope and the stucco work involved. We’ll give you a written schedule before any work starts, and we don’t leave a second appointment hanging.
Yes, we pull the necessary permits for window and door replacements in Westchester and schedule the required inspections as part of the job. Miami-Dade’s building department requirements are strict, and the permit record also helps when you update your insurance. This is part of the square deal, no surprise line items on the bill, no arguing about whose responsibility the paperwork is.

What Westchester 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."
