AfterTrusted Impact Windows for Miami Homeowners
Impact windows in Miami run between $850 and $1,450 per opening installed, with most whole-home projects landing between $14,000 and $38,000 depending on window count, size, and the manufacturer line you choose. That’s the honest range, and we put it in writing before any work begins. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed impact-rated windows and doors across Miami-Dade County since Dale Kessler founded the company in 2008, carrying forward a glazing tradition that spans more than 42 years of community service. When a live person answers at (561) 489-4036, you’re talking to someone who knows the difference between a PGT and a CGI frame without looking at a spec sheet. We serve homeowners who intend to stay in their house another twenty years, and we build every install to that timeline.
Miami building code requires impact protection on every opening, and the difference between a proper install and an out-of-true one is the difference between a window that holds in a Category 4 and one that becomes the breach point. We measure twice, quote side by side, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
What Our Impact Windows Service Includes
Impact Window Installation
Full installation of impact-rated windows is the core of what we do, and it starts with a site walk where we measure every opening, check the existing buck and frame condition, and note any structural issues before we ever hand you a number. In Miami’s coastal zones, the building code requires either Impact Windows - Miami or shutter protection on every opening, and most homeowners we meet are replacing both the window and the old aluminum single-pane glass in one project. TruePane handles the full scope: removal of the old unit, prep of the rough opening, setting the new impact window plumb and square, flashing and sealing per manufacturer spec, and interior trim work that looks like it was always there. We register both the manufacturer’s glass warranty and the frame warranty in writing under The Keystone Standard, with durations stated on paper, before we pack up the truck.
Impact Door Installation
Impact-rated entry doors, French doors, and side-lite assemblies get the same code scrutiny as windows, and they’re the opening most likely to fail if the installer cuts a corner on anchoring. Our crews set impact doors with the hinge and jamb tolerances the manufacturer actually specifies, not whatever is fastest, and we hang the slab so it swings true in January and July alike. Dale Kessler’s rule applies here harder than anywhere: a door that binds in the humid season is a door that was never really true. We install impact doors from PGT, CGI, CWS, and the rest of our authorized lines, and every door job includes the same 90-Day Done Right Promise as our window work.
Impact Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliders are the largest single opening in most Miami homes, and they take the most abuse from wind load, salt air, and daily use. A poorly set slider track will bind, leak, or drift out of square within the first two seasons, and fixing it later costs more than doing it right the first time. TruePane installs impact-rated sliders with rollers and tracks aligned to manufacturer spec, the frame anchored to the header and sill per Miami-Dade code, and the interlock sealed so it actually stays sealed. If you’re replacing an old aluminum slider that’s been fighting you for years, this is the opening where our 90-Day Done Right Promise earns its keep.
Impact Window Replacement
When an existing impact window fails, whether it’s a fogged seal, a cracked lite, or a frame that’s started to pull away from the opening, we replace it as a matched unit rather than patching a component that’s nearing the end of its life. We’ll tell you plainly if a single lite replacement makes sense or if the whole sash should go, and we’ll quote both options side by side on paper so you can see the math. Replacement work is where twenty years of shortcuts show up, and we’ve rebuilt more than a few openings where another contractor left the flashing reversed or the anchors spaced wrong. We stand behind every replacement under the same Keystone Standard as a brand-new install, with both warranty layers registered in writing.
Impact Window Repair & Tune-Up
Not every problem needs a full replacement, and we’d rather keep a good frame in service than sell you one you don’t need. Our repair work covers roller replacement, balance systems, weather-stripping, hinge and operator hardware, and glass replacement on impact-rated units where the frame is still sound. Each fall, our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up covers the inspection and lubrication points that keep your impact windows moving cleanly through hurricane season and beyond. For a full guide, see our Impact Windows Maintenance Checklist for Miami Homeowners. If a repair isn’t worth doing because the frame is too far gone, we’ll tell you that straight and show you the numbers for replacement instead.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows
We’ve installed PGT impact windows in more Miami homes than we can count, and we know that product line the way a mechanic knows a particular engine: the frame profiles, the glazing options, the hinge geometry, and the failure points that show up after fifteen years of salt air. PGT’s WinGuard and EcoView lines are workhorses, but only if they’re set correctly, and we set them correctly. Our crews are factory-trained on PGT’s installation specs, and we stock the OEM hardware for common replacements so a repair doesn’t turn into a two-week wait.
CGI and CWS are the two other impact lines we install most often in Miami-Dade, and each has its own installation requirements that a shortcut-minded contractor can overlook. CGI’s sliding doors and fixed windows demand precise anchoring and flashing to hold their Miami-Dade NOA ratings. CWS frames run heavier than most, which changes the structural prep work. Whatever manufacturer you’re considering, whether it’s PGT, CGI, CWS, or any other impact-rated line, we’ll quote options side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. We also install Coral Gables Impact Windows with the same thorough approach. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturers, and we’d rather show you the differences than tell you which one to buy.
Signs You Need Impact Windows Right Now
- Your windows are original single-pane aluminum from the 1980s or earlier. These units were never rated for hurricane wind load, and forty years of UV and humidity have degraded the seals and the frame anchorage. In a storm, this is the window that becomes the breach point, and when the envelope fails, the pressure differential can lift your roof.
- A fogged seal or condensation between panes that won’t clear. Once the seal on a double-pane unit fails, the insulating gas escapes and the window loses its impact rating. Moisture between the lites is the visible symptom, but the structural compromise is the real problem. This doesn’t fix itself, and no amount of caulk will reverse it.
- Doors that bind, stick, or refuse to latch cleanly. A door that binds in July is telling you the frame has shifted out of square, the hinges are wearing, or the slab was hung wrong from day one. On an impact-rated opening, a misaligned latch means the door won’t hold under wind load, and that’s a code failure waiting for the next inspection or the next storm.
- Visible cracking around window frames or separation between the frame and the wall. When the stucco cracks at the corners of a window, the opening is moving, which means the anchoring is failing or the framing underneath is compromised. Miami’s wet-dry cycles accelerate this, and once water gets behind the frame, you’re looking at rot and mold behind the wall.
- You’re still relying on shutters or plywood for storm protection. Shutters are a legitimate code option, but they only work when someone is home to deploy them, and plywood is a false security. Impact windows protect the envelope around the clock, whether you’re home or not, and they do it without the annual ritual of hauling panels out of the garage. Most Miami homeowners we talk to switch to impact glazing the year they admit the shutters have been sitting in the shed for a decade.
Our Impact Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
Site walk and measurement. One of our background-checked, uniformed technicians visits your home, measures every opening twice, checks the existing frames for square, rot, and anchorage condition, and notes any code considerations specific to your Miami neighborhood’s wind zone. This is a working visit, not a sales call, and you’ll get a written line-item quote that shows each window, each door, and each manufacturer line priced separately.
- 2
Side-by-side product quotes on paper. We believe you should see the numbers for PGT next to CGI next to CWS, with the warranty durations stated, not summarized. Dale Kessler’s rule is that a homeowner who sees the real options makes a better decision than one who gets a single “recommended” number. We’ll register both warranty layers in writing as part of The Keystone Standard, and you’ll know exactly what you’re buying before you sign anything.
- 3
Permit and code compliance. Miami-Dade requires permits for impact window and door replacement, and we pull them. Our team knows the local product approval requirements, the NOA numbers, and the inspection schedule. We don’t ask you to handle permitting, and we don’t start work until the permit is in hand. When the inspection happens, it passes because the work was done to code from the first cut.
- 4
Installation day. Our crews arrive when we say, in uniform, with the truck stocked for the job. We protect your floors and furniture, remove the old units carefully, prep each opening, set the new impact windows and doors plumb and square, flash and seal to manufacturer spec, and clean up after ourselves. Most Miami impact window replacements are completed in a single visit, and we’ll tell you upfront exactly how many days your project will take.
- 5
Registration, walkthrough, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Before we leave, we walk the job with you, open and close every unit, and register both warranty layers in writing. If anything isn’t done right within 90 days, we make it right with no paperwork fights and no arguing. That’s the promise, and we’ve been keeping it since 2008.
How Much Does Impact Windows Cost in Miami?
A typical impact window replacement in Miami runs $850 to $1,450 per opening installed, with most whole-home projects between $14,000 and $38,000 depending on the number of windows, the size of each opening, and the manufacturer line you choose. Impact-rated sliding glass doors typically run $3,500 to $7,500 installed, and impact entry doors run $2,800 to $6,000 depending on size, glass package, and hardware. These are installed prices that include the permit, the old unit removal, the new unit, the flashing and sealing, and the interior trim work.
What moves the price: the size and shape of each opening, whether the existing frame and buck can be reused or must be rebuilt, the glass package (clear impact, tinted, low-E, or laminated options), the manufacturer line, and the number of openings in the project. Miami’s coastal wind zones can require higher design pressures, which affects product selection. The way to avoid overpaying is to get line-item quotes you can compare, and the way to avoid underpaying is to remember that a low bid that skips the permit or the flashing will cost you double when the inspector or the hurricane shows up.
Our free estimate includes the full site measurement, a written line-item quote with all options priced separately, and the warranty durations stated on paper. There’s no charge for the estimate, no pressure to sign, and no surprise line items later. Call (561) 489-4036 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows in Miami
Impact windows are windows built with laminated glass and reinforced frames that are tested and rated to withstand hurricane-force wind and flying debris without breaching. In Miami-Dade County, impact windows must meet specific High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards, which require passing large-missile and cyclic wind-load testing. They protect your home’s envelope year-round, without the need to deploy shutters or plywood before a storm.
Most impact window replacement projects in Miami are completed in one to three days depending on the number of openings and whether any structural work is required. A single window opening can often be done in a few hours, while a whole-home project with ten or more openings typically takes two to three days. We’ll give you a written timeline at the estimate before any work begins.
Impact windows in Miami typically run $850 to $1,450 per opening installed, with whole-home projects ranging from $14,000 to $38,000 depending on window count, sizes, and the manufacturer line. Impact doors and sliders add to the total, typically $2,800 to $7,500 per door. Every TruePane quote is line-item and on paper, so you see exactly where the money goes.

We handle floor protection and cleanup, but a clear workspace lets our crew work faster and keeps your belongings safe. If you have questions about a specific window, call (561) 489-4036 and we’ll walk you through it.
