Call (561) 489-4036 for a free in-home measure and a written quote before you spend another hurricane season behind single-pane aluminum.
We know the difference between working a 1962 CBS rancher off NE 125th Street and a canal-facing two-story near Keystone Point. The lots are tighter, the frames are older, and the building department asks questions that a crew from Broward has never heard. Our Impact Windows team has spent enough days in North Miami to know exactly what those questions are, and we answer them before the inspector asks.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Miami’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard travels with every crew we send into North Miami. Homeowners here tend to keep their houses for decades. They call us because they want the window set square the first time, with both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is not negotiable.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you are buying before you commit. And when the job is done, you get the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork and no arguing.
A live person answers our phone around the clock. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a North Miami homeowner calls at 9 p.m. with a question about a permit or a window that will not latch, they get a person who can help. We stand behind the work, the warranty, and the promise. In writing.
Our Impact Windows Services in North Miami
Full-Frame Tear-Out and Replacement
Most North Miami homes built between 1950 and 1975 are one-story CBS with original aluminum frames. After sixty years of humidity and salt air, those frames are corroded, out-of-square, and too weak to carry an impact-rated glazing unit. An insert replacement over a rotted jamb voids the wind-load rating under HVHZ conditions. We perform full-frame tear-outs, set new pressure-treated bucks where needed, and install NOA-certified units that meet Miami-Dade’s Large Missile Impact standard. This is the most common job we do in North Miami, and it is the one where cutting corners shows up fastest.

NOA-Certified Product Sourcing and Verification
Nothing gets installed in North Miami without a current Miami-Dade NOA. We pull the approval documentation for every unit and every configuration before the order goes in, and we hand you a copy with your quote. A contractor from Hollywood might bring Florida Product Approval windows that are perfectly legal one mile north, but they fail inspection at the county line. We do not let that happen to our customers. Our NOA product list is current, and we verify it on every job.

Wind Mitigation Inspection Coordination
After the windows go in, a wind mitigation inspection documents the openings for your insurance carrier. This inspection typically runs $75 to $150, and it is what unlocks the windstorm premium credits, averaging around 25 percent off the windstorm portion of your policy. We coordinate the inspection with a licensed evaluator, make sure the documentation is complete, and help you file it with your carrier. The credit does not happen automatically. We make sure the paperwork is right so it does.

New Impact Window Installation
For North Miami homeowners building an addition or replacing a door-wall, we install new impact-rated windows and Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in North Miami sized to the opening, matched to the elevation, and selected from manufacturer lines including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, PGT, and CGI. You get side-by-side quotes on paper. You see the design pressure rating for each unit, the glass interlayer specification, and the warranty coverage for each line. Then you decide. We handle the permit, the install, and the final inspection. Most standard jobs are completed in a single visit once your units arrive. Custom fabrication runs four to six weeks.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Miami
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for North Miami homes we work most often with PGT, CGI, and ViewLux. These three have deep NOA catalogs covering the configurations common on CBS ranchers and canal-front properties. PGT’s WinGuard line and CGI’s Sentinel line both carry extensive Miami-Dade approvals, which means fewer surprises when the inspector checks the paperwork. We keep a working stock of common replacement hardware in our Miami office, so a broken latch or a worn balance does not leave a North Miami family waiting on a parts shipment. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before we leave the driveway.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in North Miami Homes
- Corroded original aluminum frames. Six decades of salt air near Keystone Point and Biscayne Bay eats aluminum jambs until they twist. An insert replacement over that frame voids the wind-load rating, which is why full-frame tear-out is standard for most North Miami CBS homes.
- Out-of-square openings from foundation settlement. North Miami’s low-lying lots move. Concrete slabs shift over decades, and window openings that were square in 1958 are not square now. We measure every opening twice and build a custom buck when the frame is too far out to shim.
- Florida Product Approval windows from out-of-area crews. A handsome quote from a Hollywood or Hallandale Beach contractor turns into a failed inspection when the units lack a Miami-Dade NOA. The homeowner has paid for windows that are perfectly legal one mile north and a code violation here.
- Jalousie glass that cannot be retrofitted. Never try to stuff a modern impact glazing unit into a 1960s jalousie frame. The frame was engineered for louvers, not laminated glass, and no sealant will make it pass a Large Missile Impact test. These frames always come out.
Pricing for Impact Windows in North Miami, FL
A standard impact window in North Miami runs $800 to $1,500 per unit installed. Single-hung impact windows run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a picture window facing the Keystone Point canal or a corner window in a mid-century ranch, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages for a three-bedroom CBS home typically land between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on opening count, frame condition, and whether you are doing a full-frame tear-out or a rare insert job. Factors that move the price in North Miami include the number of openings, the floor height, the wind zone designation, and the inspection path. Tight lots and shared walls add staging time, which we account for in the quote upfront. Call (561) 489-4036 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. No surprises on the bill, ever.
What Impact Windows Costs in North Miami
Here is the honest math. Standard impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Single-hung impact windows run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, the kind you see on mid-century North Miami homes with oversized fixed glass or corner windows, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages land between $8,000 and $25,000-plus depending on opening count, frame material, and how much tear-out the existing frames require. In North Miami, most projects involve full-frame tear-out because the original aluminum is corroded and out-of-square. That adds labor hours compared to an insert job in a newer subdivision. But it is the only way to get a unit that actually holds its wind-load rating under HVHZ conditions. We measure, we quote, and we put it all on paper before you sign anything. Estimates are free.
Working on a Tight North Miami Lot
North Miami lots are dense. Side setbacks run six to eight feet on many blocks, and a good number of homes sit close enough to share fence lines with a neighbor’s driveway. Staging a window job here is not like staging one in a gated Weston cul-de-sac. We park the box truck in the driveway, never on the swale. We stage materials on the homeowner’s property, never on the neighbor’s. We cap the saw area and sweep at the end of every day. And we keep the noise inside the hours the city allows. A tight lot changes the quote, because access changes the labor. A second-story window with no ladder clearance costs more to rig safely. A rear elevation separated by a six-foot fence means hand-carrying every pane, not rolling a cart through the gate. We walk the property before we quote so the price reflects the actual access, not an assumption made from a satellite photo.
When we replaced the original jalousie windows on a 1962 CBS home near Keystone Point, the salt air had corroded the aluminum frames so badly they were out-of-square. Our crew performed a full-frame tear-out and installed PGT impact-rated casements with laminated glass interlayer, pulling a Miami-Dade NOA for every unit to satisfy the local inspector. The neighbor never filed a complaint, because we kept the staging on the right side of the property line and the debris in a covered trailer. That is the way you work a tight North Miami lot and keep the whole block on good terms.
Shared walls and party-wall notice add another layer. If your window replacement touches a shared wall or a property line in North Miami, Florida law requires written notice to the adjoining owner before the work begins. We handle that notice as part of the permit package on any job where it applies. The last thing a homeowner wants is a code enforcement complaint filed by a neighbor who was never told. We tell them, in writing, before the first pane comes out.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack, but no one can promise your carrier will write the exact same check. My Safe Florida Home matching grants now cover up to $10,000 on qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades for eligible homeowners. The Florida sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind mitigation inspection, windstorm premium credits average around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of your policy. The inspection runs $75 to $150. These programs and credits have eligibility rules and deadlines, and your insurance carrier sets the final numbers. We do not guarantee any specific refund or credit. We do make sure the paperwork, the NOA documentation, and the wind mitigation report are all in order so you can apply for everything you qualify for.
One more thing worth knowing before you decide. Impact windows and hurricane shutters both satisfy the code requirement, but only one of them is always there when the storm hits. Shutters have to be located, carried, and hung on every opening, usually in the dark, usually in the rain, and usually when you are exhausted. Impact windows are permanent protection. The laminated glass is in the frame all year, rated to the wind zone, and tested to Miami-Dade’s Large Missile Impact standard. You do not hang anything. You do not store anything. The house is protected the moment the last sash is set.

FAQs - Impact Windows in North Miami
North Miami sits in Miami-Dade County, and Miami-Dade requires every replacement window and exterior Door Installation in North Miami to carry a Notice of Acceptance, which is a stricter product-approval threshold than the statewide Florida Building Code. The NOA system means the product was tested to Miami-Dade’s Large Missile Impact standard and listed by configuration. Cross one mile north into Broward County and Florida Product Approval is sufficient. In North Miami, a non-NOA unit is a code violation, plain and simple. We pull NOA documentation for every unit before we order, and we hand you a copy with the quote. Call (561) 489-4036 to have us verify the NOA status of any product you have been quoted.
No. A jalousie frame was engineered for louvers, not laminated impact glass, and no sealant or retrofit kit will make that assembly pass a Large Missile Impact test. The frame comes out, every time. In North Miami, where much of the housing stock still has original jalousie and single-pane aluminum, this means a full-frame tear-out and a proper impact-rated replacement unit, backed by a current NOA. We see homeowners get sold a cheap insert glass job by out-of-area crews, then fail inspection at the county line. Do not waste the money. Get a full replacement from a local installer who knows the North Miami code path. Estimates are free at (561) 489-4036.
Access drives labor. A tight side setback means hand-carrying every pane instead of rolling a cart through a gate. A second-story window with no ladder clearance means adding rigging time. Debris trailers park on the street only if code allows, and staging stays on the homeowner’s property, never the neighbor’s. All of this adds time, and the quote reflects it upfront. We walk every North Miami property before we quote so the price matches the actual access, not a satellite image. Call (561) 489-4036 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote.
Yes, when the work touches a shared wall or property line, Florida law requires written notice to the adjoining owner before the work begins. In North Miami, where many homes sit close to the lot line or share party walls, this is a common requirement. We prepare and serve the written notice as part of the permit package on any job where it applies. It keeps the neighbors informed and it keeps the project out of code enforcement. We handle the notice, the permit, and the inspection. Call (561) 489-4036 and we will tell you whether your job requires neighbor notice.
Yes, directly. Original aluminum frames on canal-front and bay-adjacent properties corrode from decades of salt air, and once the jamb twists, the frame loses its structural rating. Impact-rated vinyl and modern extruded aluminum with a marine-grade finish resist salt corrosion far better than 1960s mill aluminum. The laminated glass interlayer also gives you a second barrier the original single pane never had. For Keystone Point and similar waterfront streets, we recommend impact-rated units with a factory-applied marine finish, full-frame tear-out to eliminate the corroded jamb, and NOA documentation for every opening. Call (561) 489-4036 for a free estimate and a corrosion assessment on your existing frames.
