Why Westchester Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re the company homeowners in Westchester call after the first contractor left them with a fogged seal or a door that only opens when the humidity drops. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a simple rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard lives in every window set and every door hung in the neighborhoods around Coral Way and Bird Road. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, with durations stated plainly on paper, not buried in a brochure. And our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither.
We’ve worked on the CBS ranch homes east of Tropical Park, the 1950s clusters around Flagami, and the tree-lined blocks near Miller Drive and 87th Avenue. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side so you can see the difference between an Andersen casement and a PGT impact window before spending a dollar. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a call center in another state.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westchester
Window Installation
Full-frame window installation for Westchester’s CBS homes. We account for masonry openings, proper buck installation, and HVHZ anchoring requirements every time, because a window set out of true in a concrete block wall will telegraph problems for decades. Learn more about our Window Installation in Westchester.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and replacement doors hung square and weather-sealed for South Florida humidity. We handle the specific challenge of retrofitting new door systems into mid-century CBS walls that have settled and shifted. Learn more about our Door Installation in Westchester.
Window Replacement
Replacement of original single-pane aluminum and jalousie windows with energy-efficient, impact-rated units that meet Miami-Dade NOA standards. Most Westchester jobs are full-frame conversions, not sash swaps, because the original frames were never built for modern glazing. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Westchester.
Impact Windows & Doors
Large-missile-impact-tested windows and doors that carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approvals. These are not an upgrade in Westchester. They’re the requirement, and we quote ES Windows and CGI lines side by side so you see exactly what you’re buying.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glazing and insulated frames that cut the constant cooling load on Westchester’s 1,200 to 1,800 square foot homes. The original louvered jalousies in these mid-century houses leak conditioned air by design. Replacement changes the electric bill, not just the look.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Aluminum sliding glass doors replaced or serviced, including the common Westchester scenario where an inspector flags the original 1960s patio door on a CBS room addition as non-compliant. We install NOA-approved systems that pass inspection the first time.
Glass Railing Systems
Frameless glass railing for patios, entryways, and pool enclosures across Westchester. Custom cut, tempered, and set with the same precision we bring to every window and door job.
Custom Windows & Doors
Non-standard openings, odd angles, and architectural details common in Westchester’s 1950s and 1960s builds. We measure, order, and install custom units rather than forcing a stock size into a hand-built opening.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westchester

Why Westchester’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westchester is a dense patch of 1950s through 1970s concrete-block-and-stucco homes that predate Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 building code overhaul. That timing matters. Most of the original windows in this neighborhood are louvered jalousies or single-pane aluminum units with no impact rating at all. Because Westchester sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every replacement window or door must hold a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval standard stricter than anywhere else in Florida. The defining job here is a full-frame impact-window conversion in an aging CBS house, not a simple sash swap.
Two more local factors shape the work. First, the CBS wall construction means window openings are masonry-framed. Proper buck installation and anchoring details differ significantly from wood-frame houses elsewhere in Florida, and a crew that treats a concrete block opening like a wood stud bay will leave a gap that leaks water and air. Second, year-round humidity plus salt air off Biscayne Bay accelerates corrosion on original aluminum frames. Frames that looked serviceable in dry climates are often rotted through at the sill in Westchester, which compresses the replacement cycle and makes surface-level repairs a poor investment. We see this on nearly every block east of Tropical Park.
Do You Pull the Permits for Window and Door Work in Westchester?
Yes. Westchester falls under Miami-Dade County permitting, and window and door replacements almost always require a permit here because of HVHZ code. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure the work passes before we consider the job done. Pulling a renovation permit in Westchester frequently triggers inspectors to flag the original 1960s or 1970s sliding glass patio doors on CBS room additions as non-NOA and non-compliant. That means a homeowner who budgeted for windows may find the inspector requires a full patio door replacement too. We quote it on paper up front so there are no surprises on the bill, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 and ask us to walk your house the way an inspector will. Estimates are free.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westchester
Full-frame impact window replacement in Westchester typically runs $1,100 to $2,400 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, and manufacturer line. A full house of eight windows generally lands between $9,000 and $19,000. Prices reflect Miami-Dade NOA compliance, which is mandatory here, not optional. Call (754) 238-2201 for a written quote on your exact openings. Estimates are free.
Westchester sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which mandates that every replacement window and door hold a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. This NOA standard requires large-missile-impact test certification and is stricter than state Florida Product Approval or codes in Broward or Palm Beach. Installing a non-NOA window here means failing inspection and redoing the work. We quote only NOA-approved lines and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing.
Yes, and full-frame replacement is almost always the right approach. Original jalousie windows provide no impact protection and leak conditioned air, plus the masonry-framed openings in CBS walls require proper buck installation and anchoring that a sash swap cannot address. We specialize in converting these 1950s to 1970s openings to modern impact-rated or energy-efficient units that pass Miami-Dade inspection.
No. We quote fixed pricing with written line items before work begins. The only way the bill changes is if you ask for something different after the quote, like upgrading to a different manufacturer line or expanding the scope. The Done Right Promise covers workmanship, and both warranty layers are registered before our truck leaves your driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll put it in writing.
Most single-window or single-door replacements in Westchester are completed in one visit. Full-house impact window conversions on a CBS ranch typically take two to five days depending on the number of openings and whether the inspector requires patio door compliance work at the same time. We’ll give you a honest schedule when we walk the property, and our crews treat your house the way they would treat their own mother’s.

What Westchester Customers Say
"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."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."French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S.
