If you live in North Miami, you already know the two questions every window and door has to answer: will it hold up during the next named storm, and will it pass a wind-mitigation inspection? We work on homes across North Miami every week, from Arch Creek to the NW 7th Avenue corridor, and we’ve seen what salt air, hurricane codes, and sixty-year-old jalousie frames do to a house. TruePane Windows & Doors handles installation, replacement, and repair the way North Miami’s building department expects: with proper Miami-Dade approvals, permits pulled, and work that passes inspection the first time. Call (386) 516-5343 and a live person answers, any hour.
We’re not new to this. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. A lot of North Miami homeowners have been burned once by a crew that showed up late, left a fogged seal, and disappeared when the warranty paperwork mattered. We built the company around the opposite habit.

Why North Miami Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Most of our North Miami customers are people who’ve owned their home for twenty or thirty years and plan to stay another twenty. They remember the contractor who left them with a slider that binds in July. They’re not shopping for the cheapest bid. They want a company that answers the phone, shows up when it says it will, and still exists if something goes wrong next year.
Here’s what that looks like in practice. Every call to (386) 516-5343 is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When we schedule work in neighborhoods like Arch Creek or Keystone Point, a background-checked, uniformed technician arrives on time, measures every opening twice, and quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That registration step matters more than most people realize until a claim gets denied because a form was never filed. We file it. Every time.
We’ve served homeowners throughout North Miami and the surrounding communities, and most of our work here comes from referrals. A neighbor in Sans Souci Estates gets impact windows installed, then tells their cousin in Keystone Point. That’s how a second-generation glazier’s company grows: one square deal at a time.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in North Miami
Window Installation
We install new windows in North Miami homes built as far back as the 1950s and as recently as last year. Every opening gets measured twice, and we quote manufacturer lines like Andersen and Pella side by side on paper so you can compare specs and prices without guesswork.
Learn more about our Window Installation in North Miami.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and interior doors all go in square, level, and weather-sealed for the humidity North Miami deals with every summer. We handle the full install, including threshold sealing and hardware alignment, so the door swings true on day one and five years later.

Window Replacement
The jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows common in North Miami’s 1950s through 1970s CBS homes can’t be retrofitted to meet current code. We replace them with Impact Windows & Doors in North Miami that carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, and we pull the permits the city requires.

Impact Windows & Doors
Everything installed in North Miami falls under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, so impact rating isn’t an upsell here; it’s the baseline. We supply and install impact windows and doors with full NOA documentation, and we coordinate the wind-mitigation inspection that can reduce your Citizens Insurance premium.
Learn more about our impact windows and doors in North Miami.
Energy-Efficient Windows
North Miami’s year-round humidity and intense UV exposure punish seals and frames on ordinary windows. Energy-Efficient Windows in North Miami with low-E glass and proper thermal breaks keep conditioned air inside and cut the load on your AC during the long stretch from May through October.
Learn more about our energy-efficient windows in North Miami.
Sliding & Patio Doors
The salt air between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic oxidizes aluminum slider tracks faster than their rated lifespan suggests. We replace corroded, binding sliders with new Sliding & Patio Doors - North Miami units that roll clean and seal tight against wind-driven rain.
Learn more about our sliding and patio doors in North Miami.
Glass Railing Systems
For balconies, terraces, and staircases, we install Glass Railing Systems - North Miami that meet Miami-Dade structural requirements and hold up to coastal weather. Each panel is set and anchored by a technician who treats the job like it’s going on his own mother’s home.
Learn more about our glass railing systems in North Miami.
Custom Windows & Doors
Older North Miami homes often have openings in sizes no manufacturer stocks anymore. We order custom windows and doors built to the exact dimensions of your openings, including architectural styles that match the original look of the house.

Why North Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
North Miami sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest product-approval standard in the country. Every window and door we install here must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. That’s not a preference; it’s the law. But the HVHZ code is only half the story. The city’s residential base is dominated by modest concrete block homes built between roughly 1950 and 1975, many still fitted with original louvered jalousie windows and aluminum-frame single-pane sliders. Those units cannot be retrofitted to meet current impact requirements under any circumstance. Every opening must be completely reframed, which means pulling permits that trigger full Miami-Dade product approval documentation and a wind-mitigation inspection. Done correctly, that inspection can directly lower a homeowner’s Citizens Insurance premium. Done incorrectly, or skipped entirely, the homeowner is left with windows that won’t protect the house in a storm and won’t satisfy an insurance adjuster afterward.
The salt air adds another layer. North Miami’s position between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic means aluminum frames and tracks pit and oxidize years before their rated lifespan. Humidity above 75% for most of the year degrades vinyl glazing seals and causes the fogging between panes that so many long-time residents have learned to live with. The fix, in nearly every case, is replacement with impact-rated units, not patchwork repair. We tell homeowners the truth about that trade-off when we walk the property, and we put it in writing on the quote.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in North Miami
The wind-mitigation inspection itself typically costs between $150 and $350 in North Miami, and it’s often the single most direct way to reduce your Citizens Insurance premium. When we install impact windows with full NOA documentation and you have the inspection done after the work is complete, many North Miami homeowners see meaningful annual premium reductions. The exact savings depend on your policy, home construction, and the inspection report. We walk you through the paperwork so the insurance credit isn’t left on the table. Call (386) 516-5343 and we’ll explain exactly what to expect for your house.
No. Jalousie windows, the glass-louver units common in North Miami’s post-war CBS homes, cannot be retrofitted to meet HVHZ impact standards under any circumstance. Every opening must be completely reframed and replaced with an impact-rated unit carrying a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. There’s no code-compliant shortcut on this one, and any contractor who claims otherwise is putting your insurance coverage at risk. Call (386) 516-5343 for a straight answer on what your specific windows require.
Most whole-house window and door replacements in North Miami take two to five working days once permits are approved and materials arrive. Permitting through Miami-Dade for HVHZ products usually adds one to three weeks depending on the scope. We handle the permit application, product approval documentation, and inspection scheduling as part of the job. Call (386) 516-5343 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your home, in writing.
Yes. Every window and door installation in North Miami requires permits, and we pull them. We also handle the Miami-Dade product approval documentation and coordinate the final inspection. If a contractor offers to skip permits to save money, walk away. Unpermitted window work becomes a problem when you sell the house or file an insurance claim. We do it right, on the record, every time.
No. The price on your written quote is the price you pay, unless you ask us to change the scope of work. If we open a wall and find rotted framing or termite damage, we stop, show you what we found, and give you a written line item for the additional work before we proceed. No surprise charges, no change orders you didn’t approve. Call (386) 516-5343 for a quote that holds.

What North Miami Customers Say
"Two entry doors. Showed up when they said, second day was a half day like they said, and the painter they recommended confirmed the frames were dead plumb. The financing was explained in actual dollars, not a brochure."
- Janet R."Energy bill was the reason we called. They did not oversell - said the two worst walls of windows would do most of the work and we could stop there. Did those eight with the Low-E glass. August electric bill tells the story."
- Harold W."Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T.
