AfterTrusted Impact Windows for Miami Homeowners
Impact windows in Miami are not a luxury add-on. They are the difference between a house that takes a hurricane on the chin and one that loses its roof to pressure changes the moment a window gives way. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed and serviced impact-rated windows and doors across Miami since 2008, and founder Dale Kessler still runs the company on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Every install is covered by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, which means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 and a live person answers, day or night.
What Our Impact Windows Service Includes
Impact windows are a system, not a sheet of glass. The frame, the laminated glass, the anchoring method, and the seal all have to work together, or the window fails as a unit. Below is what we actually do when we install or replace impact windows in a Miami home, and the standard we hold for each part of the job.
Impact Window Installation
Impact window installation starts with measuring every opening twice, and that is not a line we use to sound careful. A quarter-inch error in an opening measurement means a window that fights the frame, a seal that fails early, and a warranty the manufacturer will not honor. We measure, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and we order the window to the exact rough opening, not a close-enough size. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they install the window with the anchoring pattern the manufacturer specifies, because that pattern is what keeps the window in the wall when Miami gets hit with real wind load.
Impact Window Replacement
Miami homeowners replace impact windows for three reasons most often: storm damage, seal failure, or a previous install that was never square to begin with. We pull the old window, inspect the rough opening for rot or water intrusion, and correct any framing issues before the new unit goes in. If we find damage the homeowner did not know about, we show them on the spot and quote a fix before proceeding. We do not bury it in a surprise line item at the end. The replacement window is set true, sealed, and registered in writing before we leave.
Impact Glass Door Installation and Replacement
Sliding glass doors and French doors are the weakest points in most Miami homes when wind pressure builds, because their span is large and the track has to hold a heavy panel straight through decades of salt air. We install and replace impact-rated sliding doors, hinged patio doors, and French doors, with the same two-measurement rule and the same anchoring discipline we use on windows. If your track is scored or your rollers are worn, we tell you, and we quote the repair as its own line item so you can decide. A door that binds in July was usually installed out of true, and that is a problem we fix and stand behind for 90 days with no paperwork fight.
Impact Window and Door Repair
Not every Miami impact window problem requires a full replacement. We repair operators, replace failed seals where the manufacturer allows it, correct sashes that have drifted, and re-set windows that were never anchored correctly. We also repair or replace hardware on impact doors, including multipoint locks, rollers, and handles. When we do a repair, we apply the same Keystone Standard: the repair is documented, the parts are specified, and the workmanship is guaranteed for 90 days. If a repair will not hold to our standard, we tell you that up front and quote a replacement instead of selling you a patch.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows
PGT impact windows are common across Miami, and we have installed and serviced enough of them to know their anchoring patterns and glass packages without flipping through a manual at your kitchen table. PGT’s WinGuard and impact-rated lines are solid units, but only if they are set square and sealed to the manufacturer’s spec. We register the PGT warranty layers in writing before we leave, and we honor them the same day if a problem comes back to us.
CGI and CWS are the other two brands we see most often in coastal Miami homes, and we carry the same respect for both. CGI builds a heavy, code-driven window that works well in high-wind zones, and CWS has a line of impact windows with slim frames that Miami mid-century homeowners tend to prefer. We quote these lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying and what each warranty covers. Whether you have PGT, CGI, CWS, or any other make, we can service it and stand behind the work.
Signs You Need Impact Windows Right Now
- Your current windows are single-pane or builder-grade double-pane. In Miami, a single pane of glass becomes a missile source in a storm, and a cheap double pane is not far behind. Impact glass is laminated and rated to take a hit without shattering into the room.
- You can feel air moving around the window frames on a windy day. That air movement means the seal or the frame is compromised, and in a hurricane, compromised windows let pressure into the house. Pressure differential is what lifts roofs off homes, not the wind by itself.
- You have fog between the panes. A fogged seal means the insulating gas is gone and the window is no longer doing its job for heat, humidity, or impact resistance. Once a seal fails, Miami’s humidity finishes the job quickly.
- Your windows or doors are hard to open, close, or lock. A window that binds has shifted out of true, which means the frame is under stress and the anchoring may be compromised. In a storm, a strained frame is a failure waiting to happen.
- Your home was built before the current Florida Building Code impact requirements. Homes built before the mid-1990s, and many built before stricter codes in the 2000s, were not required to have impact protection. If your windows are that old, they are not protecting you the way code now demands.
Our Impact Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (754) 238-2201 and a live person answers. We ask about your home, your windows, and what you have noticed. We schedule a time that works, and we are there when we say.
- 2
We measure every opening twice and inspect the existing frames. Our technician arrives in uniform, walks the property with you, and measures every opening with a tape and a level. We check the rough openings for square, rot, and water damage, because no window is better than the frame it sits in.
- 3
You get side-by-side quotes on paper. We quote the manufacturer lines we recommend for your openings, with line-item pricing for materials, labor, and any frame correction. You see exactly what you are buying and what each warranty covers. No change orders, no surprise line items.
- 4
We install to manufacturer spec and register the warranties in writing. The crew sets each unit with the manufacturer’s anchoring pattern, seals it, and checks it with a level before moving on. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
- 5
You get our Done Right Promise. If something is not right, we make it right. No paperwork fight, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. We live in this community, and we plan to be here in thirty years, so a callback is a chance to prove the standard, not a cost to dodge.
How Much Does Impact Windows Cost in Miami?
A typical impact window replacement in Miami runs $800 to $1,700 per opening for standard sizes, depending on the glass package, frame material, and whether the rough opening needs correction. Sliding glass doors run higher, usually $3,500 to $7,000, because of the span and the track work involved. If your home takes a custom size, which many older Miami homes do, the price moves up. These are real ranges, not marketing numbers, and we quote every job line by line so you can see the labor and materials separately.
The variables that move the price are glass thickness, frame material (vinyl is less, thermally broken aluminum is more), the size and shape of the opening, and whether the existing frame is square and sound. You avoid overpaying by working with a company that quotes the work, not a package. Our free estimate includes all of this, on paper, with no obligation and no pressure. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule yours, and ask about the permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows in Miami
Impact windows are laminated glass units built to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris without shattering. The glass is bonded to a polymer interlayer that holds it together even when cracked, and the frames are anchored to the structure with a pattern the manufacturer specifies. In Miami, impact windows also reduce outside noise and block the majority of UV heat, which is a noticeable difference on a July afternoon.
Most standard impact window replacements in Miami are completed in a single visit, usually a day for several openings. Custom sizes and full-home projects take longer, and we give you a written schedule before the work starts. We will be there when we say, and we do not leave a job half-finished while we run to another appointment. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will tell you what your specific project needs.
Expect $800 to $1,700 per window for standard openings, and $3,500 to $7,000 for impact-rated sliding doors. The final price depends on the glass rating, frame material, and the condition of your existing rough openings. We quote every job line by line on paper, so you see exactly what you are paying for, and our estimates are free. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote for your home.

If you have a security system with window sensors, let us know before we start so we can coordinate with your provider. We handle the rest, including the cleanup, and we leave your home the way we would leave our own mother’s.
