Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is The Hammocks’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
The homes in The Hammocks were built in a tight window of time, mostly between 1985 and 1995, and they share a set of recurring problems. We know what those problems look like before we arrive: pitted aluminum frames, fogged insulated glass, weatherstripping that came apart years ago. That means the estimate is more accurate, the job goes faster, and you are not paying us to learn on your dime. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a simple rule he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our crews hold to that on every opening we set in The Hammocks.
We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a call center. Not a voicemail tree. When you call about a fogged sliding door near Hammocks Boulevard, the person who answers knows what a four-point insurance report is and why a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance matters. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise, and both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in The Hammocks
Hurricane Impact Windows
Original single-pane casement and jalousie windows in The Hammocks are mostly non-NOA and unrepairable under current Miami-Dade HVHZ rules. We replace them with fusion-welded impact windows that carry current NOA ratings. Most single-story villas in The Hammocks run 8 to 14 window openings, and we quote each line item separately so you see exactly what you are paying for.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
This is the single most common replacement we do in The Hammocks. Homes built around 1990 often have original aluminum sliding doors that were permitted under pre-Andrew codes and have never been upgraded. When the frame pits from lake-driven humidity or the seal fails, Miami-Dade will not allow a glass-only repair. The entire frame comes out. We install new impact-rated sliding glass doors with marine-grade finishes and flashing at the jambs, and we pull the permit ourselves.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Front entries and rear French doors in The Hammocks take hurricane-season wind-driven rain directly. We set impact-rated entry systems and French doors with proper sill flashing and weatherstripping spec’d for South Florida humidity, not a dry-climate default. Every unit we install is quoted with its NOA number on paper before work starts.
Impact Garage Doors
A non-impact garage door is the largest single opening on most The Hammocks homes, and it is the first thing a wind mitigation inspector checks. We replace and reinforce garage doors to meet HVHZ pressure requirements and document the upgrades for your insurance file. If your four-point report flags the garage door, this is the first call to make.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in The Hammocks we most often quote CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. These are manufacturers whose HVHZ-rated products hold up to the specific problem this community has: constant standing humidity around the retention lakes, not just coastal salt. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can compare glass packages, frame materials, and warranty durations before you commit a dollar.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Aluminum frame pitting and corrosion. The retention lakes and wetland buffers ringing The Hammocks keep humidity high year-round. Original 1985-1995 aluminum frames oxidize and pit within a decade, far faster than the same frames inland.
- Fogged insulated glass with no repair path. When the seal fails on an original sliding door from the 1990-1993 era, the unit has no current NOA. Miami-Dade prohibits re-glazing or repair. The job becomes a full-frame replacement, like it or not.
- Failed weatherstripping on original sliding doors. Wind-driven rain during hurricane season finds the gaps at frame corners. We see water intrusion complaints in The Hammocks that trace back to weatherstripping that degraded years early because of the humidity.
- Four-point insurance inspection failures. Insurance carriers in Miami-Dade are actively dropping or non-renewing policies on homes with non-impact-rated openings from the original construction era. A failed four-point report is often the moment homeowners in The Hammocks call us.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in The Hammocks, FL
A typical impact window in The Hammocks runs $85-$165 per square foot installed, depending on frame material, glass package, and NOA rating. An impact sliding glass door replacement runs $2,800-$6,900, with the higher end reserved for wide openings, multi-panel doors, and marine-grade finishes. Entry and French door replacements typically land between $3,200 and $7,500. These are full-frame replacement prices, which is what The Hammocks homes almost always require because original 1985-1995 units cannot be repaired under current code. The cheap spec costs more within a decade here. Aluminum pits, seals fail, and the job comes back around. We quote on paper, line by line, with both warranty durations written down. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and mention your four-point report if you have one.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in The Hammocks
Because Miami-Dade HVHZ rules prohibit repair or re-glazing of any unit without a current Notice of Acceptance, and the original aluminum sliding doors in The Hammocks were installed before the post-Andrew code overhaul and carry no NOA. The entire frame must come out. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will quote the full replacement on paper so you know exactly what the code requires and what it costs.
Yes. The retention lakes and wetland buffers around The Hammocks hold standing moisture and keep localized humidity exceptionally high, which accelerates oxidation and frame pitting on aluminum. Coastal high-rises deal with salt spray, but The Hammocks deals with constant damp, and it eats aluminum frames and weatherstripping faster. We spec marine-grade finishes and stainless hardware for exactly this reason. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate and we will show you the difference in writing.
In most cases, yes. Four-point inspectors in Miami-Dade look for current NOA documentation, and original 1985-1995 windows and sliding doors in The Hammocks do not have it. The flag goes on the report regardless of how the glass looks, and carriers are using it to non-renew policies. If you have a four-point report coming up, call (954) 280-4413 first. We will review it with you and price the required replacements before the inspector ever parks on your street.
A Florida Product Approval meets statewide code, but a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance meets the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, which is the most stringent wind-load requirement in the country. In The Hammocks, every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA. If a contractor quotes you a Florida Product Approval product here, it does not meet local code. We only install NOA-rated units in this community. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will walk you through the product numbers on paper.
They are grandfathered only as long as you never touch them. The moment a jalousie window needs repair, the Miami-Dade HVHZ rules kick in and require a full replacement with an NOA-rated impact window. We see this constantly in the townhouse sections of The Hammocks, where original jalousie windows are still common. We pulled a permit on a villa near Hammocks Boulevard after the owner reported a foggy sliding glass door. The insulated glass unit’s seal had failed, the argon was gone, and the aluminum frame was pitted from lake-driven humidity. Because the door was installed in 1991 and carries no current NOA, Miami-Dade would not allow a glass-only repair, so we removed the entire frame and installed a fusion-welded, impact-rated sliding glass door with a marine-grade finish and flashing tape at the jamb. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will tell you honestly whether your specific windows are worth repairing or must come out.
