Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Ojus
Custom windows and doors in Ojus come with a set of rules most contractors never mention until the permit gets rejected. Every replacement unit here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), because Ojus sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That single requirement changes what products you can buy, what the install costs, and why walking past it is not an option. TruePane Windows & Doors handles that paperwork before the first cut, and we have been doing it long enough that the inspectors know our work. Call (386) 406-9359 and we will walk you through what your house actually needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Ojus’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Ojus is a specific kind of place. The homes are mostly 1950s and 1960s concrete block ranches, the streets run off NE 205th Terrace and West Dixie Highway, and the air carries salt from Biscayne Bay. That salt gets into everything. We have pulled original aluminum frames out of Ojus homes that looked like they had been sandblasted for decades. You do not learn that from a franchise training video. You learn it by doing the work here, block by block, year after year.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still sits on his whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule covers everything we install in Ojus, from a single custom arch window to a full house of impact-rated sliders. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and local. They know which Ojus homes still have the original jalousie glass, which ones have been retrofitted poorly, and which ones are going to need the masonry opening rebuilt before a modern unit will ever sit square.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Ojus
Our Custom Windows & Doors work in Ojus covers the full range, but a few services come up more often here than anywhere else we work.
Custom Shape Windows
Ojus homes from the mid-century era often have arched windows, radius corners, or fixed trapezoid glass over the front door. Those shapes are not stocked at a big-box store. We measure every opening twice, order the unit from a manufacturer line that actually makes true custom shapes, and set it so the reveal is even all the way around. On a CBS home, that often means grinding the old frame out of the block and rebuilding the jamb before the new unit goes in.

Oversized Glass Panels
Many Ojus homeowners want more glass than their original 1960s floor plan was built for. Oversized panels are doable in concrete block, but they require a structural header that can carry the load and an NOA-listed product that can take the wind pressure. We size the opening, spec the glass thickness, and handle the permit. You get the view, plus a window that will still be square in twenty years. Salt air near the bay makes the frame material matter more here than it does inland. We lean toward marine-grade aluminum or vinyl with fusion-welded corners on these jobs.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites, or SDLs, give a new window the look of individual panes without sacrificing the impact rating or the low-E coating. On Ojus ranch homes, we often match the original muntin pattern so the replacement does not look like a replacement. The grilles sit inside the insulated glass unit or on the interior surface, depending on the manufacturer line and the rating you need. Either way, they stay true to the original architecture.

Commercial Storefront Glazing & Curtain Wall Systems
Ojus has a mix of residential and small commercial buildings along West Dixie Highway and the surrounding blocks. Storefront glazing and curtain wall work here falls under the same HVHZ code as a house, so the product certifications matter just as much. We have installed and repaired commercial systems for local businesses, always with the same standard: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We install and service more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we are authorized installers for, among others. That matters in Ojus because not every line has NOA-listed products for every opening type. When we quote a job, we put the manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying. We also stock common hardware and sealant for local Ojus jobs, which shortens turnaround when a window needs a part rather than a full replacement.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Corroded original aluminum frames from salt air. Ojus sits a few miles west of the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay. The constant salt-laden air pits aluminum frames and degrades silicone seals. We see original sliders from the 1960s with jambs so oxidized they no longer seal, which is why we recommend corrosion-resistant frame materials on every coastal-side project.
- Jalousie windows that cannot meet code. A significant share of original Ojus CBS homes still have functional jalousie windows. They ventilate beautifully and protect against nothing. Any permitted renovation triggers a mandatory replacement, and Miami-Dade inspectors enforce it. There is no retrofit that makes a jalousie hurricane-compliant.
- Openings out of square in CBS walls. Solid concrete block is unforgiving. When an original window was set poorly in 1962, or the block has shifted, the rough opening is rarely square. A new unit dropped into that opening will bind, leak, and void its warranty. We reframe and flash the jamb before we set anything.
- Failed flashing and seal work from previous shortcuts. We regularly find silicone smeared over old, cracked flashing tape, or no tape at all. Salt air attacks those seals fast. Water gets in, the drywall stains, and mold follows. Proper flashing is not optional within a few miles of the bay.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Ojus, FL
A single custom-shape window in Ojus typically runs $900 to $2,400 installed, depending on size, glass package, and whether the CBS opening needs reframing. Oversized glass panels run $1,800 to $5,500 per unit. Architectural grilles or SDLs add $150 to $400 per window. A full-house replacement on a 1960s ranch with twelve to sixteen openings generally lands between $18,000 and $38,000, and that number shifts based on how many original jalousies are involved and how much masonry work each opening requires. We give written line-item quotes so you see exactly where the money goes. Call (386) 406-9359 for a free estimate.
One thing that makes Ojus different from neighboring Broward County: the NOA requirement. A window that is legal in Hallandale Beach may be illegal to install under permit in Ojus. That affects cost because NOA-listed impact units are more expensive than standard products. We will not quote you a non-compliant window to win a bid. We will quote you what passes inspection, period.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Ojus
Every replacement window or door in Ojus must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance because the city sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the NOA certifies the product has passed Category 5 wind-load and large-missile impact testing. If you skip it and install a non-NOA product under permit, the inspector will fail the job, the permit will not close, and you may have to pull the units out and start over. Some people try to do the work without a permit. That can come back when you sell the house. Call (386) 406-9359 and we will handle the paperwork correctly from day one.
No. Jalousie windows cannot be made hurricane-compliant, and Miami-Dade code does not allow them as replacements in the HVHZ. If a renovation, sale inspection, or insurance review triggers replacement, the jalousies must come out entirely and be replaced with NOA-listed impact units. We have done many full-house replacements in Ojus for exactly this reason. The good news is you gain real storm protection and better energy performance in the process.
Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames and degrades silicone seals years faster than inland. In Ojus, we recommend corrosion-resistant frame materials like marine-grade aluminum or fusion-welded vinyl, and we specify sealants rated for coastal exposure. A window that lasts twenty-five years in Orlando may fail in twelve here if the frame material is wrong. We choose products accordingly.
You often will. Original 1950s and 1960s CBS openings are rarely square, rarely flashed correctly, and frequently show cracked or missing sealant once the old frame comes out. We plan for that. On a 1960s ranch off NE 205th Terrace, our crew cut out original single-pane aluminum sliders whose frames were badly pitted from salt air. We installed NOA-listed impact-rated casement windows with low-E glass and argon fill, and rebuilt the concrete jamb openings with flashing tape before setting each fusion-welded frame. Then we scheduled the Miami-Dade inspection that confirmed the old jalousies were gone for good. That is the standard on every Ojus job.
Yes, as long as the opening is engineered correctly and the product is NOA-listed. Concrete block walls can carry a wider header if it is sized properly. We have installed oversized panels and custom radius windows in Ojus CBS homes many times. The key is doing the structural math before cutting into the block, not after. Call (386) 406-9359 and we will tell you what your specific wall will support.
