Why Leisure City Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Most of the homes we work on near Southwest 296th Street and the blocks around Leisure City Park were built as CBS construction, sturdy concrete block homes from the 1950s through the 1970s. A good number got rebuilt or retrofitted after Hurricane Andrew tore through in August 1992, and those first-generation impact units are now showing their age. Homeowners in the neighborhoods off Biscayne Drive and around the eastern edge near the turnpike call us because they’ve learned that a window that passed county code in 1995 does not automatically pass today’s stricter NOA revisions. We walk every home with the same question Dale Kessler keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We’re a second-generation glazier’s outfit, not a franchise. TruePane hires local, trains apprentices into journeymen, and acts like a company that plans to be in town in thirty years. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The technicians who show up at your door in Leisure City are background-checked, uniformed, and measured every opening twice before a single quote is written. And every job is backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Leisure City
Window Installation
New construction or retrofit, we set windows square and level in the rough opening, flash them for South Florida’s wet season, and pull the permit through Miami-Dade Building Department. Every unit gets its NOA label affixed and visible at inspection. Learn more about our Window Installation in Leisure City.
Door Installation
Entry doors, side lites, and French units all get the same treatment: squared jambs, sealed thresholds, and hardware that won’t bind when the humidity spikes in July. We install impact-rated door systems that meet current HVHZ wind-load requirements. Learn more about our Door Installation in Leisure City.
Window Replacement
If your post-Andrew aluminum frames are oxidizing or the seals have fogged, replacement is usually the better money than another repair. We’ll quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re paying for. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Leisure City.
Impact Windows & Doors
In Leisure City, impact-rated glazing is a legal requirement, not an upgrade. We install PGT, CGI, and CWS units that carry current Miami-Dade NOA approvals and stand up to the wind-load demands inspectors actually enforce.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows - Leisure City with Low-E coatings and insulated frames cut the AC load in a climate where the sun beats on glass ten months a year. We’ll show you the SHGC and U-factor numbers for each line so the comparison is apples to apples.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliders take the worst of it in Leisure City: humidity, salt air, and afternoon sun. We set tracks true, replace worn rollers, and install Sliding & Patio Doors in Leisure City that don’t stick when the frame swells.
Glass Railing Systems
For patios, porches, and pool decks, we install Glass Railing Systems in Leisure City with tempered and impact-rated glass that meets Miami-Dade code and holds up to the wet season’s abuse without clouding or corroding at the hardware.
Custom Windows & Doors
Odd sizes, arched tops, or a door opening that hasn’t been square since Hurricane Andrew: we measure, order, and build it right. Most custom jobs are completed in a single visit once the unit lands.

Why Leisure City’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Leisure City sits squarely in the historically active Atlantic hurricane corridor. The wet season dumps 50-plus inches of rain almost entirely between June and October, and the humidity never really leaves. What that does to a window or door is predictable: vinyl warps, aluminum oxidizes, silicone seals break down, and any frame that wasn’t rated for South Florida conditions starts to move in ways the original install never anticipated. A door that opens fine in January can bind hard by late July. A window seal that was tight five years ago will fog by the sixth wet season if the glazing wasn’t meant for this climate.
Layer on top of that the housing stock itself. Leisure City’s homes are mostly modest CBS construction, concrete block and stucco, originally built between the 1950s and 1970s for agricultural and service workers. Hurricane Andrew destroyed or heavily damaged a large share of them, and the rebuilds and retrofits that followed in the early-to-mid 1990s often used first-generation impact glazing. Those windows are now 30-plus years old. Frames have warped. Seals have failed. And many of the NOA listings those original units carried have been revised or withdrawn. That’s why so much of our work in Leisure City is replacement of post-Andrew installations that no longer meet the county’s current standard.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Leisure City
Yes. Leisure City falls inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most stringent wind-load designation in the United States. Every replacement window and door must carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and the physical NOA label has to be affixed to each unit at inspection. If it is not there, the job fails. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through exactly which units meet the current requirement.
Most single-family window replacements in Leisure City run $550 to $1,800 per opening depending on size, impact rating, and frame material. A full-house retrofit in the CBS homes common here typically lands between $6,000 and $18,000. The free estimate gives you an exact number before you commit to anything. Call (954) 280-4413.
No. We write line-item quotes before any work begins, and that number is the number. The only reason a price would shift is if you ask us to change the scope of work. No change orders hiding in the fine print. That’s a square deal, and it’s how we’ve done business since Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008.
We do. Leisure City is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so permits are pulled through the Miami-Dade Building Department rather than any municipal office. We handle the paperwork, schedule the inspection, and make sure every NOA label is visibly affixed before the inspector arrives. It’s part of The Keystone Standard on every job.
Most single-unit replacements are finished in one visit, usually four to six hours. A full-house window replacement can run two to three days depending on the number of openings and what the framing reveals once we open it up. We’ll give you a firm timeline in the written quote, and we’ll be there when we say. Call (954) 280-4413 for your free estimate.

What Leisure City Customers Say
"Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L."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."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.
