Frequently Asked Questions

Replacing windows in Miami starts with a free measurement and written estimate. We measure every opening twice, walk you through the manufacturer lines side by side, and give you a fixed price. Once you approve, we order the units, schedule installation, and handle the full removal of old windows, new installation, sealing, and trim work. Our crew cleans up the job site daily and does a final walkthrough with you before we leave. Most standard window replacements in cities like North Miami or Kendall take one to two days for a typical home. Call (561) 489-4036 to start the process.

A full house window replacement in Miami typically takes two to four working days for a standard single-family home with 10 to 15 windows. Larger homes in areas like Palmetto Bay or Aventura with 20 or more windows may take a week. Factors include the number of openings, whether stucco repair is needed, and the product line you select. We schedule the work around your life and keep you informed of the timeline. The estimate includes a completion window. Call (561) 489-4036 and we'll give you an accurate timeline for your specific home.

Yes, we replace single windows and single doors. You don't need to do a whole house to work with us. Many Miami homeowners in older neighborhoods like Cutler Bay start with one failed window and add more over time. We match the style and frame profile as closely as possible to your existing units. The process is the same for one window or twenty: measure twice, written quote, fixed price, and a warranty registered before we leave. Call (561) 489-4036 and tell us which window is giving you trouble.

Yes, window and door replacement in Miami-Dade County requires a building permit. The county's High Velocity Hurricane Zone code governs product ratings and installation methods. We handle the permit application and schedule inspections as part of your project. The work we do is required to meet county code, and we don't close out a job until the inspection passes. For homeowners in Hialeah, Homestead, and everywhere in between, that means one less thing to worry about. Call (561) 489-4036 and we'll explain the permit process for your city.

We install manufacturer windows and doors that we source directly, including ViewLux and PGT lines, because that is how we stand behind the work. If you already purchased product from another supplier, we will evaluate the job on a case-by-case basis, but we prefer to supply the product we install so both layers of the warranty are clean and registered in your name. It protects you and it protects the work. Call (561) 489-4036 to talk through your situation.

Before we arrive for window installation in your Miami home, clear the area around each window inside and out. Move furniture at least three feet back from every opening, take down curtains and blinds, and remove picture frames or decor from nearby walls. Trim back shrubs or plants outside that block access. Cover nearby furniture with old sheets to catch dust. Our crew will protect the floors with drop cloths, but a little advance prep keeps your belongings safe. We walk you through everything in a checklist when you schedule. Call (561) 489-4036 to book your installation.

We install ViewLux, PGT, and CGI window and door lines, all of which meet Miami-Dade County's High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. Each manufacturer has strengths: PGT is known for impact glass, CGI for heavy-duty coastal performance, and ViewLux for high-end engineering. We show you the lines side by side on paper so you can compare price, performance rating, and warranty terms before you choose. No brand gets pushed over another. Call (561) 489-4036 and we'll walk you through your options.

Impact windows are built with laminated glass and reinforced frames designed to hold against wind-borne debris during a hurricane. Standard windows use single-pane or double-pane annealed glass that shatters on impact. In Miami-Dade County, code requires impact-rated or hurricane-protected openings on new construction and most replacement work. Impact windows also reduce outside noise and UV damage, which matters in neighborhoods near Miami Beach. They cost more, but they are code-required and they perform. Call (561) 489-4036 for a free estimate on either option.

Yes, we match existing window styles in older Miami homes as closely as current code allows. Homes in Coconut Grove-adjacent areas of Miami often have jalousie or awning windows that cannot be reproduced exactly under today's hurricane requirements. We find the closest available style that meets Miami-Dade code and preserves the look you want. We measure every opening twice and show you photos and specs before ordering. Our goal is a replacement that looks like it was always there. Call (561) 489-4036 and tell us what style you have.

Yes, sliding glass door replacement is one of our most common jobs in Miami, North Miami, and Aventura. We install impact-rated sliding doors from PGT and ViewLux that meet Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. A typical slider replacement runs $2,500 to $6,500 installed, depending on size and glass package. The job includes removing the old track, preparing the opening, installing the new door, and sealing everything properly. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection. Call (561) 489-4036 for a free written estimate.

We offer a range of hardware options for new doors, from standard knob and deadbolt sets to premium handlesets with smart lock compatibility. Hardware choice depends on the door line you select and your home's style. We show you samples before ordering so you know exactly what you're getting. For exterior doors in Miami, we recommend corrosion-resistant finishes, because the salt air in coastal areas like Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay will eat cheap hardware in a few seasons. Call (561) 489-4036 to discuss your door and hardware options.

Every professional working under the TruePane name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We operate as a licensed contracting business serving Miami-Dade County and the surrounding cities. We carry the proper coverage for work performed in your home. If you would like documentation, we are happy to provide it before you sign anything. That is the way it should work. Call (561) 489-4036 and a live coordinator will connect you with our local team to discuss your project.

Yes, we pull permits for all window and door work in Miami-Dade County that requires them. Window and door replacement under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone code is not a no-permit job. We handle the application, schedule inspections, and make sure the final sign-off happens before we consider the job done. For homeowners in Miami Gardens, Doral, Homestead, and everywhere else in the county, that means the work is documented and legal. Call (561) 489-4036 and we'll explain what your specific project needs.

We use a local team of trained installers who work under the TruePane name and follow our Keystone Standard on every job. The person who measures your windows is part of the same local operation that installs them. We train our own people and hold them to the rule that if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Whether you're in Hialeah or Coral Gables, you get the same crew standards. Call (561) 489-4036 and we'll introduce ourselves properly.

If a window breaks during a storm in Miami, first move people and pets away from the glass. Do not attempt to remove broken shards yourself. Cover the opening from the inside with a thick blanket or plywood if you can do so safely. Then call us at (561) 489-4036. Our phone is answered 24/7, and a live coordinator will get you connected with our local team to assess the situation. We can board up the opening properly and schedule a permanent replacement. Do not wait. A broken window in Miami's weather is an open invitation to water damage.

Yes, we can board up a broken window or door quickly in Miami. The phone is answered 24/7, and our team will get to your home as soon as possible after you call. Board-up is not a permanent fix, but it secures your home against rain, wind, and unwanted entry until a replacement unit is ordered and installed. If you have a break-in or storm damage in neighborhoods like North Miami or Kendall, call (561) 489-4036 right away. We will walk you through what happens next, and the permanent replacement will be scheduled promptly.

We handle emergency window and door repairs throughout Miami, Miami Beach, Hialeah, Doral, and the surrounding areas. If a window is shattered, a door won't close, or a frame is compromised, the phone is answered 24/7 at (561) 489-4036. We assess the situation, secure your home, and schedule the repair or replacement as quickly as possible. Miami's heat, rain, and humidity punish an open opening fast, so do not let it sit. Call and we will get you sorted.

Every window and door we install carries two warranty layers in writing: the manufacturer's warranty on the product and 90 days on our workmanship. We register both layers with the manufacturer before the truck leaves your driveway. This is our Keystone Standard. If the manufacturer warranty covers glass seal failure for a stated number of years, you will have that duration in writing. Our 90-day workmanship warranty means if something about the installation is not right, we come back and fix it. No paperwork, no arguing. Call (561) 489-4036 for details.

Our 90-day workmanship warranty covers the installation itself: proper fitting, sealing, alignment, and trim work. If a window binds, a door sticks, a seal fails due to installation, or trim loosens within 90 days, we come back and make it right at no charge. This is separate from the manufacturer warranty, which covers the product. Both layers are registered in your name. We do not hide behind fine print. Call (561) 489-4036 and ask for a written copy of the warranty before you sign anything. You should always know exactly what is covered.

If something goes wrong after the warranty period ends, call us anyway. We service what we install, and the team at TruePane will take a look. Dale Kessler's rule has always been simple: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. If the issue is a manufacturer defect, we help you file the claim under the product warranty. If it is a workmanship issue outside the 90-day window, we will be honest with you about what it costs to fix. We do not leave Miami homeowners hanging. Call (561) 489-4036 and tell us what you're seeing.

We register your window and door warranty for you. Before our truck leaves your driveway, both the manufacturer warranty and our workmanship warranty are documented and filed in your name. You don't fill out a card or mail anything. Keep the paperwork we give you, and if you ever need to make a claim, call us first and we will walk you through it. That is part of standing behind the work. Call (561) 489-4036 if you have questions about a warranty on windows or doors installed in your Miami home.
