Why Key West Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Most of the calls we take from Key West start the same way: a homeowner has a jalousie window that leaks light and water, a French door that binds in August, or a standard aluminum frame that started pitting within a few seasons of salt exposure. They’ve usually already talked to someone who promised a quick fix and left behind a fogged seal or a unit that HARC won’t approve. We work differently. Every opening gets measured twice, every quote lists manufacturer lines with their warranty terms in writing, and the Keystone Standard means both warranty layers get registered before our truck leaves your driveway.
We serve homeowners in Old Town, Midtown, New Town, and the Casa Marina district. The Done Right Promise applies to every job we do in Key West. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Key West
Window Installation in Key West
We set new windows true the first time, whether you’re replacing one failed jalousie on a Conch house or doing every opening on a New Town block home. Rough openings in Key West rarely match modern manufactured unit sizes, so we plan for the shimming, flashing, and trim work the island’s older framing demands. Learn more about our Window Installation in Key West.
Door Installation in Key West
Entry doors, French doors, and patio doors all face the same salt and humidity here. We set doors plumb and square against openings that have settled over decades, then specify marine-grade or stainless hardware so you’re not replacing a latch assembly every two years. Learn more about our Door Installation in Key West.
Window Replacement in Key West
Replacing original single-pane wood sash on an Old Town property means balancing impact code with HARC’s aesthetic requirements. We walk you through the difference so you’re not surprised at review time. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Key West.
Impact Windows & Doors
Key West sits under Monroe County’s Miami-Dade NOA requirement, the strictest hurricane-product approval process in the country. We install NOA-approved impact units from manufacturers including PGT, CGI, and Andersen, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the job closes.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Cooling a house two miles from the equator-facing Gulf Stream is a real monthly expense. Energy-Efficient Windows - Key West with Low-E coated glass and tight seals lower that load, and on an island with Keys Energy’s rates, the savings show up fast on the bill.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Salt mist is brutal on Sliding & Patio Doors in Key West tracks and rollers. We specify corrosion-resistant components and set the track line straight so the door doesn’t fight you in year three.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass Railing Systems in Key West open up the view from elevated-pier decks. We anchor systems to meet Monroe County wind load requirements and use tempered glass rated for impact exposure.
Custom Windows & Doors
Old Town’s transom lights, arched tops, and non-standard rough openings rarely match anything off a shelf. We order custom and semi-custom impact profiles from manufacturers including ES Windows, then trim them to look like they belong on a Conch house.

Our crews work throughout the island. The neighborhoods below are where we spend most of our weeks. We schedule most Key West estimates within a day or two of your call, and a live person at (954) 280-4413 is the one setting the appointment.

Why Key West’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Key West sits at the intersection of two requirements that exist nowhere else in exactly this combination. Monroe County enforces mandatory Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) impact glazing standards, the strictest hurricane-product approval process in the United States. At the same time, the Historic Architectural Review Commission oversees Old Town’s National Historic Landmark District, which requires replacement windows and doors on Conch-style homes to maintain period-appropriate aesthetics. A contractor who only knows impact code will fail HARC review. One who only knows historic preservation will produce non-compliant openings that can’t pass inspection.
The housing stock compounds this. Old Town is dense with 19th- and early 20th-century wood-frame Conch houses featuring jalousie windows, transom lights, and French doors with rough openings that rarely align with modern manufactured unit sizes. These elevated-pier structures often still carry original single-pane wood sash with no hurricane protection at all. Add in salt exposure that corrodes aluminum extrusions without heavy anodizing within a few years, and you have an island where half the work is knowing which product lines survive here and which ones die quietly in year three.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Key West
Here is what our Key West customers typically see on quotes from our home service pages. Jalousie replacement runs $450 to $950 per opening depending on size and whether it’s a louvered or casement configuration. Standard impact windows on a New Town home generally fall between $1,100 and $2,600 per unit including NOA paperwork. A full Old Town replacement with HARC-compliant custom units on a Conch house typically lands between $28,000 and $75,000. Entry door replacement with impact-rated units averages $2,800 to $6,500. These are honest ranges, not bait numbers. Fixed pricing and written line-item quotes mean you see every cost before you sign.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Key West
Window replacement in Key West typically runs $450 to $2,600 per opening depending on whether the project is a single jalousie swap or a full-home impact conversion across a Conch house. Old Town HARC-compliant custom work runs higher because the units are built to fit and to match historic aesthetics. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote; our estimates are free and we line-item every cost.
If your home sits within the HARC-designated historic district, yes, replacement windows and doors generally require review. The commission wants the new unit to match the louvered or multi-lite appearance of the original. We’ve taken many Old Town projects through this process and can tell you upfront whether the unit you’re considering has already cleared HARC aesthetic review. Call us at (954) 280-4413 before you order anything.
The Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is the product approval standard for hurricane-rated windows and doors, and Monroe County applies it countywide, including Key West island. Any impact-rated unit you install here must carry a valid NOA number. We’ll show you the NOA documentation for any product we quote.
Jalousie windows offer zero hurricane protection and leak both water and air. But HARC reviewers routinely reject replacements that don’t mimic the louvered look. We work with manufacturers like ES Windows and Andersen to source NOA-approved units with louvered profiles that have already cleared HARC aesthetic review. Call (954) 280-4413 to walk through your options.
Our quotes are fixed and our bill matches the quote. Before work begins we measure every opening twice, spec the trim and flashing, and put the full cost in writing. The only time a number changes is if you ask us to change the scope. Call us at (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through the quote line by line.

What Key West Customers Say
"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."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G."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.
