Why Sunset Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 with a rule he still keeps on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That is the whole posture. We are a second-generation glazier’s company, not a franchise playbook, and we hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in Sunset in thirty years.
Homeowners in the neighborhoods around Sunset Drive and west toward the Turnpike have called us for everything from a sticking pantry door to a full hurricane-impact retrofit. We work in Sunset’s mid-century concrete block homes constantly, and we know what those rough openings look like behind the stucco. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed. Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Sunset
Window Installation in Sunset
We install new windows in Sunset homes of every age, including mid-century CBS construction where original openings are rarely square anymore. Every install follows Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements, and we pull permits on the jobs that require them. Learn more about our Window Installation in Sunset.
Door Installation in Sunset
A new entry or patio door in Sunset has to stand up to brackish air, heavy rain, and hurricane season. We install code-compliant doors that seal tight and swing true from the first day, with head-flashing done correctly so the first storm does not find a path inside. Learn more about our Door Installation in Sunset.
Window Replacement in Sunset
Most older Sunset homes still have original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows that do not meet current code. We replace them with NOA-approved impact units and handle the masonry infill work those older CBS openings often need. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Sunset.
Impact Windows & Doors
In Sunset, impact glazing is not an upgrade. It is the only code-compliant path for most replacements. We stock and install NOA-approved product from CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and we register both warranty layers before we leave.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Sunset’s heat and humidity run your air conditioning hard for most of the year. A proper low-E insulated unit, installed square and sealed right, cuts that load and quiets the house at the same time. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see the actual numbers.
Sliding & Patio Doors
A Sunset sliding door that binds in the humidity or sticks after a storm is usually a sign of an out-of-true track or a failing roller. We repair or replace them, and on new installs, we set the threshold and flashing so water stays outside where it belongs.
Glass Railing Systems
For Sunset homeowners with a second-story deck or a pool enclosure, glass railing systems open up the view without giving up the safety of code-compliant tempered or laminated glass. We measure every opening twice and mount rails to hold fast in wind.
Custom Windows & Doors
Older Sunset homes frequently have non-standard opening sizes that off-the-shelf units will not fit. We order custom-fabricated windows and doors to the measurements we take on site, and we stand behind the fit.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Sunset
We work throughout Sunset and the surrounding blocks daily, and our crews know the streets well enough to plan around traffic and parking without making you wait. Typical scheduling runs a few days out for estimates, and we show up when we say we will.

Why Sunset’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Sunset sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that changes what a window or door job actually involves. Every replacement, no exceptions, must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval standard stricter than anywhere else in Florida outside Broward County. Storm shutters will not substitute for impact glazing here the way they can elsewhere in the state. That is why nearly every retrofit project in Sunset becomes a full impact-glass replacement rather than a simple pane swap.
Then there is the housing stock itself. Most Sunset homes are mid-century concrete block stucco built between the 1950s and early 1970s, and a large share still have their original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows. Those louvered jalousies are a specific problem: they are explicitly non-compliant under current HVHZ code and cannot legally be replaced in-kind. Every jalousie swap requires a fully NOA-approved impact unit, a Miami-Dade building permit, and third-party inspection. An unpermitted like-for-like jalousie replacement is a code violation and a real insurance liability. We handle that process from measurement to inspection, so you do not have to learn it the hard way.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Sunset
What you will spend in Sunset depends on the size of the opening, the product line, and whether the rough opening needs masonry work before a new frame goes in. Jalousie-to-impact swaps on mid-century CBS homes tend to run higher per opening than a straightforward unit replacement because the old framing and surrounding stucco usually need attention. As a general guide for planning: a standard impact window replacement starts around $1,200 per opening installed, impact sliding doors range from $3,500 to $8,000 depending on width and glass package, and a full-home retrofit on a typical Sunset CBS ranch runs $18,000 to $45,000. We quote everything on paper, item by item, before any work begins, and the price we give you is the price on the bill. No change orders, no surprise line items.

What Sunset Customers Say
"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."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.
