AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Miami
Impact Windows & Doors in Miami are rarely a simple swap. Most homes here are concrete block structures built before Hurricane Andrew, and their original openings were never designed for today’s wind-load requirements. That means a proper installation requires more than a measuring tape: it requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) on every unit, specific anchor schedules for CBS walls, and glass that holds up to 175 mph design wind speeds. TruePane Windows & Doors handles all of it, from the first measurement to the final inspection. We’ve been doing custom glazing work in South Florida since 2008, and we’ll answer your call at (954) 280-4413 with a real person, day or night.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Our crew works across Miami neighborhoods every week for Miami Door Installation and window projects, from the 1950s ranch homes in Westchester to the newer communities of Doral. We’re not a franchise operation running crews through town. TruePane is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who started this company in 2008 because he kept seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties on work other contractors had done. We treat a custom window job the way it should be treated: measure twice, quote the manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers before we leave the driveway.
Customers throughout Miami call us for the same reasons. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Our pricing is upfront and line-itemed. And every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no fine print. That’s not a tagline. That’s how we keep earning repeat calls from homeowners who have lived here twenty years and plan to stay another twenty.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Miami
Our Custom Windows & Doors team handles residential and light commercial work throughout Miami-Dade. Here’s what we do most often:
Custom Shape Windows
Radius tops, trapezoids, half-rounds. Miami’s mid-century and Mediterranean revival homes often have arched or angled openings, and replacing those with a rectangular unit is not an option. Our shop fabricates custom shapes that match the original geometry and still meet NOA pressure ratings. If you have an arched window over a front door in Coral Gables or a trapezoid opening in a 1960s split-level, we can build it.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Storefronts along Bird Road, Calle Ocho, and Biscayne Boulevard take a beating from salt air and daily sun. We install and replace commercial aluminum storefront systems, tempered glass, and impact-rated entry doors, and we also handle Miami Window Replacement. We work with property managers and small business owners who need the job done on schedule and to code. Miami-Dade inspectors red-tag non-compliant storefront work, and we pull the permits and pass the inspections the first time.
Curtain Wall Systems
For larger commercial and multifamily projects, curtain wall systems require engineering, not guesswork. The design wind speed in Miami is the highest of any major U.S. metro, so mullion spacing, glass make-up, and anchor points all have to work together. We handle curtain wall replacement and repair with products specified for the HVHZ. If you’re managing a building in Edgewater or Brickell with failing curtain wall seals, call us before the leak finds the ceiling below.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites, or SDLs, give you the look of individual panes without giving up the structural performance of a single impact-rated lite of glass. That matters in HOAs and newer master-planned communities where the design review board wants a certain look. We can match grille profiles to your existing windows or design a new pattern that the HOA will actually approve. The SDLs sit on the interior or exterior surface, so the impact glass remains intact underneath.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen window and door manufacturers, including, PGT, and Cws in Miami. When Miami customers need something specific, we commonly quote ES Windows, ECO Window Systems side by side so you can see the exact differences in glass, frame, and hardware before spending a dollar. Because we keep a working inventory of common replacement parts and hardware in our South Florida shop, we can often turn around hardware replacements and glass reglazes faster than a company ordering everything out of state.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Pre-1992 jalousie windows in CBS homes. Tens of thousands of homes in Hialeah, Westchester, and Kendall still have original louvered glass windows. They leak wind-driven rain, rattle during every afternoon thunderstorm, and offer virtually zero hurricane protection. Replacing them with NOA-approved impact units is one of the most common jobs we do in Miami.
- Corroded aluminum frames near the coast. Within a mile or two of Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic, salt-laden air eats standard aluminum frames, weep holes, and hardware in five to seven years. Marine-grade anodized or painted finishes aren’t an upsell there; they’re the only finish that lasts.
- Builder-grade sliders in newer communities. Many master-planned developments in Doral and the Kendall area went up with low-grade single-glazed aluminum sliders. The weep holes clog with salt and the tracks bind within a few years. These are a regular replacement item for us.
- Red-tagged rough inspections. We see it too often: a homeowner replaces windows without pulling the proper Miami-Dade permits or without an NOA-approved anchor schedule. The inspector catches it at rough inspection, and the work has to be torn out and redone. We pull permits before we start, and we build to the anchor schedule the product actually specifies.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Miami, FL
Here are the ranges Miami homeowners should expect. A custom radius or trapezoid window, fabricated to match your existing opening and NOA-rated, typically runs $900 to $2,400 per unit installed. Architectural grilles and SDLs usually add $40 to $80 per square foot of glass. A full jalousie-to-impact replacement on a 1950s CBS home often lands between $12,000 and $28,000 depending on the number of openings and the product line. Commercial storefront replacement on a typical Bird Road storefront runs $180 to $320 per linear foot, installed. Oversized glass panels for waterfront homes with 175 mph-rated interlayers start around $120 per square foot and climb with size and crane access.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Miami
The builder’s warranty usually covers the original windows only, not replacement work, but you do need to coordinate with the builder’s warranty office before touching the openings. We can document the condition of the existing windows, photograph the openings, and provide a written scope of work that confirms we won’t alter the building envelope beyond the window replacement itself. That paperwork protects you if the builder claims a later wall or roof issue is related to your window project. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through the process.
Yes. The original jalousie openings in Hialeah’s CBS homes are often narrow and shallow, but we fabricate custom subsill buck anchors to fit a modern impact-rated casement or fixed picture unit into that rough opening. It’s a routine job for us, and it brings the house into compliance with Miami-Dade wind-load requirements. We handle the permit, the anchor engineering, and the final inspection.
Most HOAs won’t stop you from improving performance; they stop you from changing the visible look. Architectural grilles and SDLs are often the answer. We can keep your existing window style and add simulated divided lites or upgrade to a higher-performing glass package that looks the same from the street. We’ve worked with Doral HOAs before, and we know how to present the application so it gets approved on the first pass. Call us at (954) 280-4413 and we’ll help you prepare the submittal.
Sometimes, yes. The wind-load requirement is the same across the HVHZ, but east of US-1 you’re dealing with salt spray, higher humidity, and more direct storm exposure. We recommend marine-grade anodized or painted aluminum frames in the coastal corridor because standard finishes corrode quickly. Inland, a high-quality vinyl or standard aluminum frame is often appropriate. The glass package and anchoring are the same; the finish and hardware are what change.
The first move is replacing sliding glass doors and windows that face south or west. In Miami, those openings take the most direct sun and storm pressure, and original 1990s builder aluminum sliders are typically single-glazed and under-enthused in the anchoring. Swapping those to NOA-approved impact units gives you the biggest insurance wind-mitigation credit and the biggest comfort difference for the money. We can quote the whole building or start with one unit. Estimates are free.
