South Beach homeowners deal with a combination no other Florida market faces quite the same way: hurricane code, historic preservation rules, and salt air working on every frame and threshold from two directions at once. TruePane Windows & Doors handles all of it, from Impact Windows & Doors in South Beach for a 1930s Art Deco condo to a new sliding glass door on a Collins Avenue high-rise. Our crews know the local approval process, the manufacturers that meet Miami-Dade NOA requirements, and the buildings that need specialty fabrication. Call (954) 280-4413 and a live person answers, day or night.

Why South Beach Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re a second-generation glazier’s company, not a franchise playbook. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s why homeowners in Flamingo Park and the West Avenue corridor keep our number in their phones. They know the technician who shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and measures every opening twice before a quote is written. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, state the durations, and hand you the paperwork before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s backed by our Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right, we make it right without a paperwork battle. South Beach customers also appreciate that a live person answers every call, 24/7. No voicemail trees, no callback forms, no regional call center.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in South Beach
Window Installation
New window installation in South Beach nearly always means navigating HPB review if you’re in the historic district, or matching existing sightlines in a mid-century condo. We handle the approvals and the install, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Learn more about our Window Installation in South Beach.
Door Installation
A front door on a South Beach Art Deco building isn’t a stock item, and a patio door on a bayfront unit has to stand up to salt and wind from both sides. We install entry doors, impact doors, and everything between, with hardware that doesn’t seize up in the coastal air. Learn more about our Door Installation in South Beach.
Window Replacement
Replacing windows in South Beach usually means swapping original steel casements for NOA-approved impact units, or fixing fogged seals in a high-rise where the building association has its own rules. We walk you through the options, including slim-profile fabricators when the HPB is involved. Learn more about our Window Replacement in South Beach.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated glazing isn’t an upsell in South Beach. It’s the legal requirement under the HVHZ code. We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and other NOA-approved lines, and we’ll show you the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance on any unit we propose.
Energy-Efficient Windows
South Beach electric bills climb in August when original single-pane louvered windows leak conditioned air, which is why many homeowners upgrade to Energy-Efficient Windows in South Beach. Low-E and insulated glass units help, but they also have to meet impact standards. We’ll match the right glass package to your building and your shade exposure.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Salt air chews up rollers, tracks, and thresholds on sliding doors faster here than almost anywhere in Florida. We replace or rebuild them, including Sliding & Patio Doors - South Beach impact-rated sliders that actually glide after the first month. No binding, no dragging, no second appointment left hanging.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass railings on South Beach rooftops and balconies need tempered or laminated glass with hardware that won’t pit in the salt environment. We install and replace Glass Railing Systems - South Beach with the same attention to level and true that governs every window job.
Custom Windows & Doors
Some South Beach openings don’t match anything in a catalog – curved frames in a Streamline Moderne lobby, oversized openings in a penthouse, or a specific sightline the HPB requires. We fabricate custom units through specialty manufacturers we’ve worked with for years.
Neighborhoods We Serve in South Beach
Our crews work throughout South Beach, and we typically arrive at your property within a day or two of your call for the initial measurement. The most frequent neighborhoods we serve:
- Flamingo Park
- West Avenue corridor
- South of Fifth (SoFi)
- The Collins Avenue condo stretch north of 15th Street
- The Art Deco Historic District
Why South Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
South Beach is a narrow barrier island. The Atlantic sits to the east and Biscayne Bay to the west, which means every building face gets salt-laden air from two directions at the same time. We routinely see frames corroding in less than ten years, hinges that grind, and thresholds that rot out far sooner than they would in inland Miami neighborhoods. The building stock compounds this. The low-rise streets are dominated by 1920s to 1940s Art Deco and Mediterranean Revival structures, many still carrying their original narrow-framed steel casement or louvered windows. Straight swap-out work is rare. Almost every project in the historic areas requires Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board review, and that means the replacement unit has to meet HVHZ impact ratings while replicating the original sightline closely enough to pass. It’s a dual-compliance situation most volume Florida window companies have never touched.
That’s where we’ve learned to be patient and precise. The original steel casements in contributing Art Deco structures often have frame face widths around one inch to an inch and a half. Most modern NOA-approved aluminum impact frames run two and a half to three inches, and the HPB will reject those as historically incompatible. So a compliant job frequently means slim-profile or custom-steel impact units from a small group of specialty fabricators. We know those fabricators, we know how to document the submission, and we know what the board’s reviewers look for. The same holds true for the mid-century high-rises along Collins Avenue north of 15th Street, where building associations enforce their own specifications and the salt exposure on upper floors is relentless.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in South Beach
South Beach pricing is not the same as inland Florida pricing. Historic-district approvals, custom fabrication, and working around occupied condo units all affect the final number. Below are honest starting ranges for typical projects. Every quote is line-itemed before work begins, and we don’t change the price after the fact.
- Standard impact window replacement: $900 to $1,400 per opening, depending on size and manufacturer line.
- Custom slim-profile or steel impact window for historic approval: $1,800 to $2,800 per opening.
- Entry door installation (impact-rated): $1,500 to $3,200.
- Sliding patio door replacement (impact-rated): $2,800 to $5,500.
- Glass railing system installation: $250 to $450 per linear foot.
We also stand behind the work with our Done Right Promise, and we stand behind the products by registering both warranty layers in writing. A square deal means the price on the quote is the price on the bill. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in South Beach
Window replacement in South Beach typically runs $900 to $1,400 per opening for standard impact windows, and $1,800 to $2,800 for custom slim-profile or steel units that meet HPB requirements. The exact number depends on your building’s status, the opening size, and the manufacturer line. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes, if your building is a contributing structure in the Art Deco Historic District, the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board must approve any window or door replacement before work begins. We prepare the submittal package, document the NOA rating and sightline dimensions, and handle revisions if the board requests them. This is not something to attempt without experience.
HVHZ stands for High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the Miami-Dade building code designation that applies to all of South Beach and requires every permitted replacement window and door to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). We only install products with current NOA documentation, and we’ll show you that documentation before you sign anything.
No. We quote line-item prices and we hold them. If we find concealed damage during the install, we stop, show you what we found, and agree on any change before proceeding. No surprise line items on the bill, no arguing after the fact. That’s part of the Done Right Promise.
Most single-opening replacements are completed in one visit, once the product arrives. Custom-fabricated units for historic buildings can take six to ten weeks from order to install, depending on the fabricator’s schedule. We’ll give you a written timeline before the work starts, and we’ll return calls about schedule changes the same day. Call (954) 280-4413 to discuss your building’s specifics.

What South Beach Customers Say
"Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A."Two entry doors. Showed up when they said, second day was a half day like they said, and the painter they recommended confirmed the frames were dead plumb. The financing was explained in actual dollars, not a brochure."
- Janet R."Storm door and a new back entry door. Small job, but they treated it like one that mattered. Screws in the hinges are stainless, the sweep actually seals, and the invoice matched the phone quote to the dollar."
- Vernon H.
