Windows & Doors Services in North Miami, FL
If you live in North Miami, you’ve probably noticed it by now: the aluminum window frames that came with your house are pitting from decades of salt air, the sliding door sticks in summer, and those old jalousie windows don’t close tight enough to keep the afternoon heat out. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, led by Dale Kessler, and we handle window and door replacements, installations, and repairs across North Miami from Arch Creek to Keystone Point. When you call (561) 956-2754, a live person answers, and we’ll schedule a time to measure your openings and walk you through exactly what needs to happen.
Most of the homes we work on in North Miami were built between the late 1940s and the mid-1970s. That means concrete block walls, non-standard rough openings, and original window systems that predate every modern hurricane code on the books. We know what those openings look like because we’ve opened enough of them. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and that standard applies whether we’re pulling out a single jalousie window on NE 135th Street or replacing every opening on a two-story CBS house near the Arch Creek East neighborhood.

Why North Miami Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
We’ve been doing this work for over 42 years. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 out of a simple frustration: too many window and door installs were being slapped in out of square, leaving homeowners with fogged seals, binding doors, and warranties that turned out to be worthless when the manufacturer pointed at the installer. The Keystone Standard was our answer. Every job gets both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If something isn’t done right within the first 90 days, we make it right with no paperwork fights and no arguing.
Homeowners around Arch Creek, Keystone Point, and Sans Souci call us for a few reasons that don’t change much from block to block. They want a company that answers the phone with a real person, sends background-checked uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice, and quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper so they can see exactly what they’re buying. They also want someone who understands Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, because getting that wrong means a failed inspection and an insurance credit that never shows up. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we register both warranty layers before we leave the driveway.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in North Miami
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for North Miami homes, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval per configuration is the only permanent protection that doesn’t require you to drag panels out of the garage when a storm watch goes up. We match design pressures to each opening so you’re never paying for a rating above what your home actually needs.

Window Installation
Whether you’re replacing a single failed jalousie or rebuilding every opening on a mid-century CBS home, window installation in North Miami means working with concrete block rough openings that were never built for standard-size inserts. We measure every opening twice, order to size, and set each frame true before we fasten anything down.
Learn more about our Window Installation in North Miami.

Window Replacement
Window replacement in this part of Miami-Dade usually means full-frame tear-outs, not sash swaps. The original aluminum single-panes and jalousie louvered units in North Miami’s post-war housing stock can’t accept inserts, so we remove the old frame down to the rough opening and rebuild from there.

Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, and utility doors all take a beating in North Miami’s humidity. We install impact-rated doors that seal tight, swing true, and meet HVHZ requirements at every opening.

Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Salt-laden air near Biscayne Bay corrodes sliding-door tracks and rollers faster than people expect. We replace and install North Miami Sliding Glass & Patio Doors with hardware built for coastal conditions and glass that meets Miami-Dade NOA standards.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in North Miami with Low-E glass, insulated frames, and tight seals help cut cooling costs, and in this heat, the difference shows up on the electric bill from June through October. Reasonable energy claims run 20-30% on cooling, and we’ll show you the details before you commit.

Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest opening in most homes and the one people forget about until the inspector flags it. We install Impact Garage Doors in North Miami that hold their own in a storm and pass wind-mitigation review.

Custom & Geometric Windows
Some North Miami homes have odd openings, arched windows, circle tops, or custom shapes left over from a 1960s contractor’s imagination. We build and install custom and geometric windows to fit those openings exactly.

Roof Repair
Roofs and windows work together in a wind mitigation inspection. If your roof has a leak or missing shingles, it’s worth fixing before you invest in impact windows, because the insurance credit looks at the whole envelope.

Roof Replacement & Installation
We replace and install roofs across North Miami, from full tear-offs to new construction. If a storm passed through or time caught up with your shingle, tile, or metal roof, we’ll walk you through the options.

Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Different roof types need different handling, especially in Miami-Dade’s wind zone. We install all three – asphalt shingle, tile, and metal – and we pull permits and pass inspections on every job.

Neighborhoods We Serve in North Miami
Our crews work across North Miami’s residential neighborhoods every week. We’re familiar with the concrete-block construction patterns in each one and the way the salt air moves inland from the bay.

Why North Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
North Miami sits in the northeastern corner of Miami-Dade County, close enough to Biscayne Bay that salt-laden humidity works on aluminum frames year-round. We regularly see sliding-door tracks on the east side of town pitted and corroded within a decade, while the same hardware inland would have lasted twice as long. The housing stock compounds the problem. Most of North Miami’s residential inventory is post-WWII CBS construction built between roughly 1948 and 1975, and many of those homes still carry original jalousie louvered windows and single-pane aluminum sliders that predate every modern energy and impact code. Those openings were framed for non-standard jalousie dimensions, so a replacement almost always means a full-frame tear-out rather than a simple insert or sash swap.
And because North Miami falls within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA). That’s a product-approval standard stricter than anything required in Broward County, and it disqualifies most big-box-store window lines entirely. A contractor who doesn’t know the difference between an NOA and a generic Florida Product Approval isn’t someone you want cutting into your walls. When you work with us, we verify the NOA on every configuration before we order it, and we match design pressures to the actual opening so you’re never paying for more rating than you need.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in North Miami
Pricing depends on the opening size, the product line, and whether we’re doing a full-frame tear-out or a direct replacement. Here’s what North Miami homeowners can generally expect:
- Impact window (single opening): $1,100-$2,800 installed, depending on size and design pressure
- Full-frame jalousie tear-out and replacement: $1,500-$4,500 per opening, depending on framing and finish work
- Impact sliding glass door: $3,500-$8,000 installed
- Entry door replacement: $1,800-$6,000 depending on material and impact rating
- Custom or geometric window: $1,800-$6,500 depending on shape and glass
We price honestly, in writing, before the work begins. No surprise line items on the bill, no change orders halfway through. Call (561) 956-2754 for a free estimate and we’ll give you the actual numbers for your house.
Florida Pays North Miami Homeowners Back
There’s real money available to offset the cost of impact windows and doors in North Miami, and most homeowners don’t know the full stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs about $75 to $150), many carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy.
Two things to understand. First, we don’t control what your insurance carrier ultimately decides, so we won’t quote you a savings number we can’t put in writing. Second, the inspection has to be done by a qualified professional, and the windows have to be installed correctly with proper NOA documentation. That’s where the Keystone Standard matters: we register both warranty layers in writing and provide the paperwork your inspector needs.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters protect the opening during a storm, but only if someone is home to hang them, and they do nothing for energy efficiency, noise, or daily security. Impact windows work every day without anyone touching them, and they qualify for the same wind-mitigation credits. For a North Miami homeowner who’s tired of lugging panels out of the garage at 9 p.m. on a hurricane watch, the upgrade usually makes sense.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in North Miami
Replacing jalousie windows with impact-rated windows in North Miami typically costs $1,500-$4,500 per opening, because the original jalousie framing is non-standard and the job needs a full-frame tear-out rather than an insert. The final price depends on the opening size, the product line, and the design pressure required for your specific wall and orientation. Call (561) 956-2754 for an exact quote, and our written estimate will show you each line item before you agree to anything.
Yes. Every replacement window and door installed in North Miami must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) because the city sits in the county’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s a stricter product-approval standard than Broward County requires, and it disqualifies many big-box-store window lines. We verify the NOA on every configuration before we order, and we’ll provide the documentation your wind-mitigation inspector needs to sign off.
Most North Miami homeowners see a windstorm premium credit of around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy after a wind-mitigation inspection, assuming the windows are properly installed and documented. The inspection itself runs about $75 to $150. We don’t guarantee a specific savings number, because carriers make the final call, but the credits are common enough that impact windows often pay for themselves over time. Call (561) 956-2754 and we’ll walk you through what your house needs to qualify.
Once your custom units arrive, we can typically complete most window replacement jobs in as fast as a single day for smaller homes, though larger projects may run two or three days. Custom fabrication takes 4-6 weeks from order to delivery, so the timeline overall depends on the product line and the number of openings. We’ll give you a written schedule before we start, and we’ll be there when we say.
Yes. We pull permits and pass inspections on window, door, and roof work in North Miami, and we don’t cut corners on paperwork. If a contractor tells you permits aren’t necessary for impact window replacement in Miami-Dade County, walk away. The inspector verifies NOA compliance, design pressures, and installation quality, and we make sure everything is in order before you hand over the final check. Call (561) 956-2754 for a free estimate and we’ll answer any permitting questions you have.

What North Miami Customers Say
"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."Sliding door had been dragging for years. They quoted a repair first, said the track was shot, then priced the replacement both ways on paper. No pressure either direction. Door glides with one finger now."
- Carol M."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."
