Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Medley
Most window and door companies don’t know what to do with Medley. They show up expecting cul-de-sacs and ranch homes, then stand blinking at tilt-wall warehouses and steel-frame distribution centers. We’ve worked the industrial corridor along the Palmetto Expressway long enough to know the difference between a personnel door that needs an NOA-compliant retrofit and a storefront system that can be selectively reglazed. If you’re managing or owning a commercial property in Medley and need custom windows, storefront glazing, or impact-rated door systems, call (954) 280-4413. We’ll send a glazier who knows which Miami-Dade product approvals your building actually needs, not a salesman working through a residential checklist.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Medley’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Medley is a single-zoning municipality: warehouses, distribution centers, and light manufacturing along the Palmetto corridor. That changes every decision about windows and doors, from frame alloys to glazing specs to the paperwork required before a single lite of glass gets ordered. Our crews have pulled Miami-Dade NOA documentation on storefronts off NW 74th Street, rigged oversized glass panels into 1980s-era office fronts near the Gratigny, and replaced salt-eaten hardware on dock-level overhead doors. We know the compliance triggers that catch out-of-county glaziers, and we handle them before they become stop-work orders.
Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that still runs the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re background-checked, uniformed, and we measure every opening twice. When a building owner in Medley calls, they get a live person on the phone, every time, any hour. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person who can tell you whether you’ll need a full NOA-compliant replacement or a targeted reglaze. And every job carries The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves the lot.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Medley
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Medley’s building stock is dominated by commercial storefront aluminum systems, most installed between the mid-1980s and early 2000s. Many of those frames hold annealed glass that was grandfathered under older codes but fails the moment a permit alteration triggers Miami-Dade’s re-inspection requirements. We replace storefront systems with impact-rated IG units and thermally broken aluminum frames that meet current HVHZ standards. We also handle selective reglaze work for buildings where the extrusion is sound but the glass package is not, saving owners the cost of full frame replacement when the code allows it.
Oversized Glass Panels
Large-format glass in Medley means two things: heavy and exposed. A 12-foot lite going into a warehouse office front off NW 74th Street has to survive 140+ mph design pressures and large-missile impact testing under Florida Building Code Chapter 16. Our crews rig oversized panels with the right equipment and get them set plumb the first time. We specify laminated impact glass with stainless steel setting blocks where salt air is a factor, because zinc-plated block hardware fails early in this environment.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites and architectural grilles aren’t just a residential detail. Medley’s industrial office fronts and showroom entries increasingly use SDL profiles to dress up what would otherwise be a flat commercial storefront. The catch in this market is that any exterior SDL system on a non-impact frame still has to carry the same NOA rating as the glass behind it. We install manufacturer-approved grille systems that work with the impact package, not against it, and we spec stainless fasteners so the grille bars don’t corrode inside the IG unit within a few humid summers.
Custom Shape Windows
Custom-shape glazing shows up in Medley’s newer commercial builds and the occasional warehouse office retrofit: radius transoms, trapezoid lites over entry doors, angled glass in architectural feature walls. Each of these has to be fabricated to the exact opening dimensions and still meet HVHZ impact standards. We template every custom shape on site, order the glass from manufacturers who cut to our dimensions, and get the NOA documentation in order before installation day. No field-modifying a stock unit to fit a radius opening and hoping it holds.
Trusted Brands We Service in Medley
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and CWS. For Medley’s commercial and industrial properties, PGT’s impact-rated storefront and door systems are a common spec, and CGI’s heavy-sill storefront frames hold up better than most in salt-air exposure. We also work with Ply Gem on select commercial vinyl and aluminum projects where the building’s exposure and budget align. The distinction that matters here: we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see the difference in glass package, frame grade, and warranty duration before you commit. Parts for most common commercial hardware sets are stocked locally, which keeps repair turnaround short when a dock door or storefront lite goes down.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Medley
- Salt-air corrosion on zinc-plated hardware: Unairconditioned warehouse overhead doors and exterior personnel doors in Medley sit close enough to Biscayne Bay that salt-laden humidity attacks zinc-plated hinges, rollers, and sill anchors within five years. The symptom is a door that binds in the jamb or a storefront closer that no longer seats the lite. We replace with stainless steel hardware and marine-grade finishes.
- Non-impact polycarbonate in older personnel-door sidelites: Many 1980s-era tilt-wall buildings were permitted with polycarbonate or standard annealed glass in sidelites, grandfathered at the time. Under Miami-Dade’s current alteration-trigger rules, those lites have to be replaced with NOA-compliant impact glazing any time the opening gets touched. Owners who don’t know this get caught at permit review or final inspection.
- Seal failure on uncoated aluminum storefront frames: Humid air infiltrates uncoated aluminum extrusions and reaches the IG unit’s edge seal, fogging the glass and dropping the assembly’s U-factor below the energy baseline for retrofit projects. In Medley’s climate, anodized-only storefront frames rarely survive the full warranty period without some seal compromise. We specify factory-painted or thermally broken aluminum where the budget allows.
- Jamb bind on warehouse overhead doors: Salt corrosion on the steel track brackets and roller stems of sectional overhead doors causes the door to rack and bind, which puts load on the panel seams and tears weatherstripping. We see it repeatedly in Medley’s unairconditioned dock and warehouse environments. Coated hardware and stainless roller assemblies are the fix, not repeated lubrication.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Medley, FL
A commercial storefront reglaze with impact-rated IG units in Medley typically runs $85 to $145 per square foot, depending on glass package and frame salvageability. Full storefront replacement with thermally broken aluminum and laminated impact glass runs $120 to $210 per square foot. Oversized glass panels, custom shape windows, and architectural SDL systems push higher, $180 to $320 per square foot, because fabrication, rigging, and NOA-specific documentation add labor and material cost. Hardware replacement for salt-corroded storefront closers and hinges runs $40 to $120 per opening. These are Medley market ranges for NOA-compliant work, and the NOA paperwork is part of the price, not an add-on. Call (954) 280-4413 for a written line-item quote. Estimates are free, and we stand behind the numbers in writing.
Key takeaways:
- Every exterior glazing system in Medley falls under Miami-Dade HVHZ rules, meaning NOA documentation is mandatory, not optional.
- Salt air near the Bay corrodes zinc-plated hardware in unairconditioned warehouse environments years earlier than inland.
- Permit alterations on older Medley buildings routinely trigger full NOA-compliant replacement of grandfathered storefront glazing.
- The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave the driveway.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Medley
Yes. Any exterior glazing in Medley, including custom windows in warehouse office conversions, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That applies to the full assembly: frame, glass, and anchoring system. A custom shape window that lacks NOA documentation will not pass a Miami-Dade building inspection, and it will not hold up to the 140+ mph design pressures the county enforces. Call (954) 280-4413 before you order, and we’ll make sure the spec is NOA-compliant on paper before fabrication starts.
They were grandfathered under the code in effect at the time of original permitting. Miami-Dade’s re-inspection triggers mean that any alteration permit pulled on the building, whether for a mezzanine, electrical upgrade, or interior remodel, can require the entire affected opening to be brought up to current HVHZ standards. That’s the compliance trap we mentioned earlier. We’ve retrofitted storefront sidelites off NW 74th Street for exactly this reason, after a failed inspection left a tenant’s permitting stalled. The old annealed glass had to come out, and the opening was upgraded to impact-rated IG units with stainless hardware.
Yes, selective reglaze is often possible and more affordable when the aluminum extrusion is still structurally sound and the frame profile accepts a current impact-rated IG unit. The catch is that the replaced glass still has to meet current NOA requirements for the assembly. If the existing frame is uncoated aluminum with seal degradation or the glazing pocket can’t accommodate the thicker impact lite, you’re looking at full frame replacement. We’ll tell you which path applies after we measure and inspect the opening.
Stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized hardware. Zinc-plated hinges, closers, and sill anchors corrode quickly in Medley’s humidity and salt-air exposure, especially on unairconditioned warehouse and dock buildings. We spec stainless steel hinges, stainless closer arms, and coated fasteners on every exterior door we install or repair in this market. If you’ve already got corrosion binding the door closed, the fix is replacement hardware, not lubrication. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll get the right parts on order same day.
Yes, in the right direction. A laminated impact IG unit with a low-E coating performs better on U-factor and solar heat gain than the single-pane annealed or polycarbonate glass it typically replaces in older Medley buildings. That matters for unairconditioned warehouse offices fighting the summer humidity. The energy performance gain depends on the glass package we specify, and we quote side by side so you can compare. We’ll register both warranty layers, including the glass warranty, in writing before we install.
