AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Ojus
Window replacement in Ojus means working inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that changes the job before a single pane is pulled. A typical full-frame replacement on a 1960s CBS ranch here runs $1,850-$3,400 per opening, with insert work landing between $950 and $1,700 when the existing frame is sound. The catch in Ojus is that the frame often is not sound, because most of these houses were built with aluminum jalousie windows that current code will not allow anyone to leave in place. Call (954) 280-4413 to get an exact number for your house. We have been doing this work long enough to know what a DPERM inspector will flag before the inspector ever shows up, and we price the job so there are no surprises after the walls are open.
Key Takeaways:
- Full-frame replacement in Ojus typically runs $1,850-$3,400 per window; insert jobs run $950-$1,700 when the frame is reusable.
- Every replacement window in Ojus must carry a Miami-Dade NOA. A Florida Product Approval alone is not legal here.
- Most original Ojus homes have jalousie windows that cannot be retrofitted. They get fully framed out.
- Salt air from Biscayne Bay rusts aluminum frames and hardware faster than anything else in this market.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Ojus’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the standard on every job is the same one he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Homeowners in Ojus call us because the company has served South Florida communities since 2008 through Dale’s craft tradition, and because we do not treat a window replacement as a transaction. We treat it as a structural decision on a house that has to stand up to a hurricane zone. That means we measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. It is called The Keystone Standard, and it is in every contract we write.
Ojus homeowners regularly tell us the same thing: they sat through a sales pitch from an out-of-county crew that quoted impact windows with a Florida Product Approval sticker and no NOA number. That job would fail a Miami-Dade DPERM inspection. We know because we have been called in to fix those exact installs off West Dixie Highway and around Highland Oaks Park. Our response time to Ojus is the same day or next morning for estimates, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree. A person.
Every technician who steps onto an Ojus property is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work in a customer’s home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we plan to be in town thirty years from now. You will not get a franchise playbook from us. You will get a square deal.
Our Window Replacement Services in Ojus
Full Frame Replacement
This is the work Ojus homes actually need. The original aluminum jalousie and single-pane sliders on 1950s and 1960s CBS ranches were never built to meet current Miami-Dade impact code, and they cannot be retrofitted. A full-frame replacement pulls the entire old window, reframes the opening, installs a new impact-rated unit, and flashes it correctly against wind-driven rain. In Ojus we recommend full-frame work on roughly seven out of ten homes we quote, and the pricing reflects that reality: $1,850-$3,400 per opening depending on size, glazing, and what the framing reveals once the stucco comes off. Our Window Replacement team will show you the manufacturer lines side by side on paper before you commit to anything.
Insert Window Replacement
An insert job keeps the existing frame and slides a new window into the opening. It costs less, typically $950-$1,700 per unit in Ojus, and it is the right call when the original frame is a solid aluminum extrusion with no corrosion and a proper sill pan. The problem is that most Ojus homes off NE Miami Gardens Drive and around Skylake were built with jalousies, and jalousie frames are not suitable for inserts. When we quote an insert in Ojus, it is because we have verified the frame is structurally sound and the flashing is intact. When it is not, we tell you plainly and we price the full-frame job instead.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows are a different product than impact windows, and Ojus homeowners should know the distinction. Impact windows carry a Miami-Dade NOA and are tested for windborne debris. Storm windows are typically a lighter secondary glazing layer, and they do not meet HVHZ code on their own. If a contractor quotes you a low number for “storm windows” in Ojus and tells you that satisfies the building department, walk away. We install storm windows only where they are appropriate, which in this market is rare, and we will tell you exactly what the inspector will accept before any work begins.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing those old single-pane jalousies with modern low-E insulated glass is the single biggest energy upgrade most Ojus homes will ever get. The original windows leak air all day in summer, and the AC system fights it for eight months a year. A full-frame energy-efficient replacement with low-E glazing and a proper thermal break typically runs $2,100-$3,400 per opening in Ojus. The payback shows up on the FPL bill and in rooms that finally hold a consistent temperature. We quote energy packages as part of every full-frame job, with the R-values and U-factors stated in writing.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Out-of-county crews installing non-NOA windows. Broward County contractors regularly quote impact windows that carry only a Florida Product Approval. In Ojus, that fails a DPERM inspection. We pull the NOA sticker before the window goes in, not after the inspector leaves.
- Full-frame jobs that skip re-flashing and sill pans. On the older CBS homes near the Intracoastal, wind-driven rain and salt air get behind the stucco and rot the wood bucks and studs. A proper full-frame replacement includes new flashing, sill pan, and sealant, every time.
- Insert windows installed over old jalousie frames. This creates a thermal break and a seal failure within a couple of hurricane seasons. The argon leaks, the glass fogs, and the homeowner pays twice for a job that should have been done once.
- Salt-air corrosion on hardware and frames. Less than three miles from Biscayne Bay, aluminum frames and door hardware on Ojus homes rust faster than inland properties. We spec marine-grade finishes and non-corrosive hardware on every coastal-adjacent job, and it is not an upsell. It is the difference between a window that lasts twenty years and one that binds in three.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Ojus, FL
Here are the numbers we quote most often in Ojus. Full-frame replacement: $1,850-$3,400 per opening. Insert replacement on a sound aluminum frame: $950-$1,700 per opening. Energy-efficient low-E upgrades as part of a full-frame job: $2,100-$3,400 per opening. What moves the price is the opening size, the glazing package, the frame material, and what we find once the old window comes out. On a 1962 CBS ranch off NE 205th Terrace, our crew pulled the original aluminum jalousie windows and found rotted wood bucks and failed flashing tape behind the stucco. We reframed the openings for a full-frame ViewLux double-hung with impact-rated glazing and marine-grade hardware, then scheduled the DPERM inspection with the NOA sticker in place to avoid the out-of-county false start we see all too often. Every job includes The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Ojus
Because the original windows on the bulk of Ojus homes built from the 1950s through the early 1970s are aluminum jalousie or single-pane sliders that cannot accept an insert and do not meet current Miami-Dade impact and energy code. The old frame, the wood buck behind it, and the flashing all have to come out and be rebuilt to pass a DPERM inspection. We price the reframing into the quote up front, and any additional framing work discovered once the wall is open gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (954) 280-4413 if you want us to walk your house and show you exactly what the inspector will require.
An NOA is a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and it is the product-approval tier required for every window and door installed in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Ojus sits squarely inside that zone, so a Florida Product Approval alone is not legal here. DPERM inspectors check for the NOA number on the product sticker, and they flag installs that do not have it. We pull the NOA sticker before the window goes in and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate on an NOA-compliant job.
For most 1960s Ojus ranches, a double-hung with impact-rated glazing is the pragmatic choice. It matches the look of the original openings, operates simply, and carries a wide range of NOA-approved manufacturer options. Casement windows seal tighter against wind and can be a better fit near the Intracoastal, but they cost more and require different hardware. We quote both side by side on paper so you can see the price difference in writing. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will bring the samples to your house.
In almost every case in Ojus, no. The original aluminum jalousie frames were not built to accept impact-rated glass, they do not have a thermal break, and they are often corroded from decades of salt air off Biscayne Bay. Replacing only the glass leaves you with a frame that still fails code and still leaks air. The honest answer is that a glass-only replacement almost always costs you more in the long run. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will show you exactly what your frames can and cannot support.
Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal and Biscayne Bay accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames, hardware, and fasteners, which is why Ojus homes should spec marine-grade finishes and non-corrosive hardware on any replacement window. This is not an upsell. It is the difference between hardware that turns stiff and crusty in three summers and hardware that works for twenty years. We recommend it on every coastal-adjacent Ojus job we quote. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact recommendation based on how close your house sits to the water.
