Window Installation in Miami - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Window Installation for Miami Homeowners

Window installation in Miami is not a casual trade. Salt air eats at frames, hurricane season tests every seal, and a window set even slightly out of true will bind in July and leak by September. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed and replaced windows across Miami for over 42 years, and every job leaves with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing and our 90-Day Done Right Promise behind it. If a pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (561) 489-4036 to schedule a free estimate.

What Our Window Installation Service Includes

Every installation starts with the opening, not the window. We measure twice, inspect the rough opening for rot or settlement, and only then order the unit. Here is what we install in Miami homes, and how we approach each type.

Single & Double Hung Windows

The classic vertical-sash window, still the most common style in Miami’s older neighborhoods. Single hung means only the bottom sash moves; double hung means both do. We set these with balanced springs and replace any sash cord or tilt hardware so the window opens evenly ten years from now, not just on install day.

Horizontal Roller Windows

Common in mid-century Miami homes and apartments, these slide side to side on a track. We clean or replace the track, set the rollers level, and adjust the lock to strike dead center. A horizontal roller window that fights you to open is usually a track alignment problem, not a window problem, and we fix the root cause.

3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows

3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows open up a room to the Miami breeze. The middle panel carries the most stress, and we set the frame so all three panels glide without dragging on the center rail. We also check the weep holes; a 3-lite slider in Miami that pools water at the sill will rot the frame from the inside out.

Casement Windows

Casement Windows are crank-operated, hinge at the side, and seal tight when closed. In Miami, casement windows are popular in hurricane-rated installs because their closure pressure keeps water and wind out better than a sliding sash. We set the hinge geometry so the sash lands square against the weatherstripping every time, no crank force needed.

Awning & Hopper Windows

Awning & Hopper Windows hinge at the top and open outward; hopper windows hinge at the bottom and open inward. Both are common in bathrooms, above sinks, and in basement-adjacent utility rooms across Miami. We set the gearbox and linkage so the sash stays open where you leave it, and stays closed against driving rain.

Picture & Fixed Windows

A fixed window that does not open, chosen for the view and the light. These are the easiest windows to set wrong: because they do not move, installers sometimes skip the flashing and the result is a slow leak that shows up as paint bubbling on the interior drywall. We flash every fixed window like it is a moving one, with housewrap, sill tape, and a sloped pan below the frame.

Bay & Bow Windows

Bay & Bow Windows project outward from the wall, with a bow window curving out in an arc of smaller panes. Both carry roof load and need a structural seat built under them, not just a nailer. We check the cantilever support and tie the new unit into the existing wall framing with the load path a Miami home inspector will recognize.

Garden Windows

A small projecting greenhouse-style window, usually over a kitchen sink, with glass on three sides and a shelf for plants. In Miami the garden window faces sun, salt air, and humidity from the sink below it, so we set the shelf with drainage and use stainless hardware. A garden window that traps water under the shelf is where the frame fails first.

Brands We Service for Window Installation

We are an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two Florida-centric impact window brands most common in Miami homes. With PGT we register the WinGuard impact warranty directly with the manufacturer before the truck leaves, and we stock replacement rollers, locks, and balance systems specific to their casement and slider lines. With CGI we work the estate collection and Centurion series, and we have set enough of them to know the exact flashing detail their Miami-Dade NOA approvals require.

We also install and service ViewLux windows, a line that has grown in Miami’s mid-rise condo market. We have replaced ViewLux rollers and interlock seals across Kendall and Doral, and we quote them side by side with PGT and CGI on paper so you see the difference in glass package, frame material, and warranty duration before you spend a dollar. Whether you have any of these brands or a window no installation crew wants to touch, we can help. Call (561) 489-4036 and ask for a free estimate.

Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now

• Condensation or fog between the panes. When the seal on an insulated glass unit fails, the desiccant inside the spacer bar saturates and moisture fogs the glass permanently. No cleaning product fixes it; the unit is dead. In Miami’s humidity, a failed seal also means the window has lost its insulating gas, so your AC bills climb while the glass turns milky.
• The window binds, sticks, or drops when you open it. A sash that drags on the frame or slams shut is a sign the balance system has failed or the frame has shifted from settlement or rot. Forcing it open wears the hardware and can crack the glass at the corner. A window that will not open is also a safety issue; that is your emergency exit in a fire.
• Daylight or a draft at the sash edge. Run your hand along the closed window seam on a windy day. If you feel air moving, the weatherstripping is compressed or the sash is out of square with the frame. Miami’s afternoon thunderstorms will drive water into that same gap, and once water gets behind the wall it finds the drywall and the studs.
• Soft window sills or flaking paint at the frame corners. Tap the sill with a screwdriver handle. If it sounds hollow or gives, the wood is rotting from water that has already gotten in. Paint peels at the bottom corners of the frame for the same reason. By the time you see it, the damage often extends into the rough opening, and the fix is a new window set into new framing.
• The window no longer matches Miami-Dade wind code. If your home was built before 2002, the windows may not be impact-rated or have current NOA approval. When you see cracked caulk lines, rusted balance springs, or thin single-pane glass, the window is not protecting you the way Miami-Dade building code now requires. Installation in Miami mean setting windows that will hold in a Category 4 storm, and that starts with the right product.

Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Measure and inspect the opening. We measure every opening twice: once for the rough opening dimensions, once after checking for square, level, and plumb. We inspect the existing framing for rot at the sill, and for settlement cracks around the header. If the opening is not sound, we tell you before we order the window, not after it arrives.
2. 2
   Quote side by side on paper. We bring options from multiple manufacturer lines and quote each one with the same glass package, frame material, and warranty terms printed side by side. You see exactly what you are buying, what it costs, and what the warranty covers. The price we quote is the price on the bill; there are no change orders hidden in the fine print.
3. 3
   Remove the old window and prepare the opening. We pull the old unit, remove all rotted or damaged wood, and treat the rough opening for termite and moisture resistance where needed. We install a sloped sill pan, housewrap, and flashing tape at the head and jambs. Any replacement framing is done to Miami-Dade code, not to whatever was easiest.
4. 4
   Set the new window true, level, and square. We shim the frame at the hinge, balance, and lock points so the sash sits square in the opening. The window is anchored to the studs, insulated at the perimeter, and sealed outside with backer rod and sealant. Before we leave, we open and close the sash a dozen times, check the lock strike, and verify the weep system drains.
5. 5
   Register both warranty layers and walk you through them. We register the manufacturer warranty and our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. You get the durations stated, the coverage spelled out, and a phone number that a live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and we stand behind it.
