AfterWindows & Doors Services in Westwood Lakes, FL
If you own a home in Westwood Lakes built in the 1960s or 1970s, you probably know the feeling: a west-facing jalousie window that rattles in every afternoon storm, or an aluminum door frame that’s corroded at the sill and never quite closes square. We work on those homes every week. TruePane Windows & Doors installs, replaces, and services windows and doors across Westwood Lakes, and the person who answers when you call (954) 280-4413 is a live human being, any hour of the day. We know the permit process here, we know the housing stock, and we quote every job on paper before any work starts.

Why Westwood Lakes Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the standard behind the Done Right Promise, which puts the workmanship guarantee in writing with no paperwork fights and no arguing. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, with durations stated plainly. Homeowners in Westwood Lakes, especially those who have lived in the same house for twenty or thirty years, tend to ask sharper questions than most. We respect that. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and we measure every opening twice before a quote is written.
We serve the full stretch of Westwood Lakes, from the blocks off SW 26th Street down to the homes near the lake itself off SW 146th Avenue. In neighborhoods like Westwood Lakes West and the streets surrounding Tropical Park, we see the same pattern: original aluminum awning windows that no longer seal and doors that bind in July humidity. The response is steady and the work is done right the first time. When a homeowner calls for a quote, they get a side-by-side comparison of manufacturer lines on paper, so the decision is informed, not pressured.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westwood Lakes
Window Installation
We install new windows sized to your existing openings or as part of a full frame-out replacement, depending on what your walls can take. Every installation meets Miami-Dade County’s Notice of Acceptance requirements for Westwood Lakes. Learn more about our Window Installation in Westwood Lakes.
Door Installation
Entry doors, side doors, French doors. We set them square, flash them correctly for South Florida humidity, and make sure the lock catches without a shoulder to the slab. Learn more about our Door Installation in Westwood Lakes.
Window Replacement
For older CBS homes with degraded aluminum frames or fogged single pane glass, we do complete replacements, not glass-only patches. That’s the only way to get a NOA-approved impact window into an opening originally sized for jalousies. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Westwood Lakes.
Impact Windows & Doors
Westwood Lakes sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which means the impact products installed here must carry a Miami-Dade NOA, a stricter approval than the Florida Product Approval accepted in Broward. We only install Impact Windows & Doors - Westwood Lakes products that meet that county standard, and we register every layer of the manufacturer warranty in writing.
Energy-Efficient Windows
With humidity above 80% for much of the year, low-E glass and proper weatherstripping keep cooling bills down and frames from sweating. We quote Energy-Efficient Windows - Westwood Lakes options alongside standard ones so you can see the difference on paper.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliders take abuse from daily use and afternoon storms that drive rain horizontally into the track. We set Sliding & Patio Doors in Westwood Lakes tracks level, replace worn rollers, and adjust the panel so the door opens with one hand instead of two and a hip.
Glass Railing Systems
For lakefront and patio properties, Glass Railing Systems in Westwood Lakes keep sightlines clean while meeting Miami-Dade structural requirements. We measure, fabricate, and install the full system, including hardware.
Custom Windows & Doors
When an opening is not standard, or you want a specific architectural look, we build custom units. Dale personally reviews every custom order before it’s placed, and we quote the lead time up front.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westwood Lakes

- Westwood Lakes West
- The lakefront streets off SW 146th Avenue
- Blocks around SW 26th Street
- The homes near Tropical Park
Why Westwood Lakes’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westwood Lakes sits on the eastern fringe of the Everglades, and that position shapes the work we do here. Afternoon convective storms roll in fast and drive wind and rain straight into window and door frames facing west. High humidity, regularly above 80% year-round, accelerates corrosion on aluminum extrusions and eats through vinyl weatherstripping faster than it degrades in central Florida markets. Every installation here needs proper flashing and drainage details, not just a caulk line around the exterior trim. The housing stock compounds it. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s as part of Miami-Dade’s westward expansion are largely single-story concrete block structures, CBS, with narrow rough openings originally sized for jalousie or aluminum awning windows. Upgrading those to modern impact units means a complete frame-out replacement, not a glass swap. We plan for that from the first measurement.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westwood Lakes

No. We write the quote on paper before any work starts, and the price does not change unless you change the scope. That’s the square deal we operate on, and it’s covered in writing.
Yes. Westwood Lakes is unincorporated, so permits are pulled through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department, not a city hall, and inspectors enforce the NOA requirement at rough and final stages. We handle the entire process, with the correct jurisdiction listed on the application from the start.
Most full frame-out impact projects in the community run five to ten working days from first cut to final inspection. The county inspection schedule is the variable, and we coordinate that with you. Call (954) 280-4413 to get an exact timeline for your house.

What Westwood Lakes Customers Say
"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."Eleven windows replaced in two days. The crew chief, Marcus, showed me the level on every single frame before they caulked it. My wife noticed the street noise was gone before I did."
- Ronald P.
