Window Replacement in Coral Gables - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Window Replacement for Coral Gables Homeowners

Window replacement in Coral Gables costs between $950 and $2,800 per opening for most residential projects, with impact-rated and full-frame work running higher. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been setting windows true in this city since Dale Kessler founded the company in 2008, building on a glazing heritage that now spans years of community service. When a window fails in Coral Gables, it fails against salt air, hurricane codes, and the particular humidity that fogs a seal faster here than almost anywhere in South Florida. Call (954) 507-3613 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We are not the cheapest bid in Coral Gables, and we don’t try to be. We’re the company homeowners call after the cheap bid fails. Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. We hold an authorized installer status with more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the rule Dale keeps on the whiteboard, and it governs every install we do from our home base outward.

Homeowners in Coral Gables who’ve lived in their houses for twenty or more years understand what we mean when we say a window is out of true. They’ve felt the draft in January, heard the rattle when a truck passes on Bird Road, paid the AC bill that climbs every July because the glass can’t hold the cool air. We fix that permanently, with a written warranty and a company that plans to be in town in thirty years.

What Our Window Replacement Service Includes

TruePane handles every type of window replacement Coral Gables homes require, from simple insert swaps to full structural openings. Here’s what we do, broken down by the job your house actually needs.

Full Frame Replacement

Full Frame Replacement means the entire window comes out: the old sash, the frame, the trim, and the fasteners down to the rough opening. You need this when the wood or aluminum frame itself has rotted, warped, or pulled away from the house. In Coral Gables, we see this constantly on the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes around Granada and Riviera, where original frames have spent sixty years taking on driven rain and salt air. TruePane technicians measure every opening twice, inspect the sill and header for hidden damage, and set the new frame with shims and flashing that keep water out of the wall cavity for the life of the house. This is the only way to correct an opening that has gone out of square, and it’s the right call when the frame can’t be trusted to hold a new unit.

Insert Window Replacement

An Insert Window Replacement, or pocket replacement, keeps your existing frame and trim in place and fits a new window unit inside it. It’s the right choice when the frame is still solid and square but the glass, seals, or moving parts have failed. Inserts cost less than full frame work because we’re not rebuilding the opening. We do hundreds of insert replacements in Coral Gables every year, and we only recommend them when the frame actually deserves to stay. If a technician tells you the frame is fine, he’s measured it with a level and inspected it for rot, not guessed.

Storm Window Replacement

Storm window replacement covers the exterior secondary glazing many older Coral Gables homes use for added protection and insulation. These units take the brunt of every storm season, and their frames get bent, their glass cracks, and their weatherstripping disintegrates from UV exposure. We source and install replacement storm units that match the existing system, including custom sizing for the older aluminum-track types common in the city’s historic districts. Done right, a new storm unit adds a real layer of wind and water protection without touching the primary window at all.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

When your goal is lower electric bills and a house that holds temperature, an Energy-Efficient Upgrade replaces old single-pane or failed double-pane glass with modern low-E, argon-filled, and insulated frame units. Coral Gables gets intense sun, and the right glass package matters more here than the frame material. We quote multiple glass performance options side by side on paper, from basic low-E to high-performance solar control coatings that cut heat gain without making the interior dark. Most homeowners who upgrade in the Gables see the change on their first post-install Florida Power & Light bill.

Historic Window Restoration

Coral Gables has strict preservation requirements in many neighborhoods, and Historic Window Restoration in a designated historic property is not a standard job. We work with the city’s Certificate of Appropriateness process, match original muntin profiles and glass types, and replace only what must be replaced while preserving what can be rebuilt. Our approach honors the original architecture and keeps you compliant with local codes. This is slow, careful work, and it’s work we’ve done for homeowners who would rather preserve a 1920s window than buy a vinyl replica that looks wrong from the sidewalk.

Every one of these services comes with the same standard: background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure twice, quote clearly, and register both warranty layers before leaving. Whether it’s a full frame on a 1928 Mediterranean Revival or an insert on a 1980s rancher, the job is not done until the pane is true.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, and we recommend their impact-rated lines for many Coral Gables homes where hurricane protection is the top concern. Our technicians are trained on the PGT WinGuard and PGT Innovations product families, and we register the PGT warranty layers in writing on every install. For homeowners comparing PGT against other impact lines, we put the quotes side by side on paper, including glass package, frame material, and installed price.

Simonton is another brand we stock and service heavily for window replacement in Coral Gables. The Simonton Madeira and DaylightMax lines are workhorses in South Florida, and we know their installation tolerances and warranty claim process. We also carry Jeld-Wen for homeowners who want a broader architectural match, and we service Ply Gem units for mid-century homes where the original framing deserves a compatible replacement. If you have Andersen, Pella, Marvin, or Milgard, we handle those too; our service trucks carry parts and shims for every major line we install. Whether you have PGT, Simonton, Jeld-Wen, or any other make, we can quote and install the right replacement for your opening.

Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now

• Condensation between the panes. When moisture shows up inside a double-pane unit, the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The window is no longer doing its job, and in Coral Gables humidity, that fog spreads fast. It will not fix itself.
• A window that won’t stay open or closed. Balance systems wear out, and a window that slams shut or won’t stay up is telling you the hardware is done. This is also a safety issue, especially for anyone with grandchildren in the house. We can replace the window and the balance system on a single visit.
• Visible rot, swelling, or soft wood around the frame. In Coral Gables’ salt air and rainy season, a leaking window rots the frame from the inside out. If you can press a screwdriver into the sill, the opening needs full frame replacement before the damage spreads to the wall structure.
• Draft you can feel on a windy day. A window that lets air pass even when locked has failed weatherstripping or a warped sash. You’re paying to cool the outside air. Replacement pays for itself faster than you think.
• Glass that rattles when traffic passes. On Coral Way and Bird Road corridors, windows take constant vibration. A rattling pane means the glazing is loose or the sash is out of square, and it’s a sign the structural fit is failing.

Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. Call (954) 507-3613. You get a live person, not a voicemail tree, any hour of any day. We’ll talk through what you’re seeing and set a time that works. There’s no obligation and no pressure.
2. 2
   On-site measurement and inspection. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes to your Coral Gables home and measures every opening twice. We inspect the frame, sill, header, and flashing. We check for square using a level and tape, and we tell you honestly whether you need an insert or a full frame job.
3. 3
   Side-by-side written quote. We put manufacturer lines and glass packages side by side on paper, with pricing you can compare line by line. No surprise line items, no vague “miscellaneous” charges. You see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs.
4. 4
   Removal and installation. On install day, we protect your floors and furnishings. We remove the old unit, address any hidden damage we find, and set the new window with shims, flashing, and sealant per manufacturer specifications. If we find something that changes the scope, we show you before we proceed.
5. 5
   Warranty registration and cleanup. Before our truck leaves your driveway, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the documentation with durations stated. We walk the job with you, clean the site, and make sure the window operates true. Then the Done Right Promise begins, in writing, no fine print.
