Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Miami
Custom window and door work in Miami is not a catalog order. It is a code compliance question first, a materials question second, and a craft question third. Miami-Dade sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), and every replacement unit must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) on top of Florida Product Approval. We have been doing this work long enough to know which units pass inspection and which ones get red-tagged. For a free estimate on custom windows or doors anywhere in Miami, call (386) 406-9359.
We are Custom Windows & Doors specialists, and we serve Miami with crews who know the difference between a Coral Gables arched opening and a 1962 Allapattah jalousie rough opening. This page is for homeowners in Miami who want straight answers about certifications, materials, and honest pricing before anyone steps foot on the property.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
TruePane has been doing Impact Windows & Doors in Miami long enough that our name carries weight with Miami-Dade inspectors. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule matters more in Miami than almost anywhere else, because an out-of-true window in an HVHZ opening is not a cosmetic issue. It is a water intrusion point and a wind-load failure waiting for the next tropical system.
Homeowners in neighborhoods like Coconut Grove, Shenandoah, and Miami Shores call us for Miami Window Replacement because we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway, and stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise. No arguing. No fine print that covers neither. We are not the cheapest bid in Miami, and we do not pretend to be. We are the last call a homeowner needs to make when the old jalousies finally come out and the new impact units go in.
Every technician who works in your home is background-checked and uniformed. Every opening gets measured twice. And when you call TruePane, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. That matters when you are standing in front of a window with a crack running corner to corner and you need to talk to someone who knows Miami openings.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Miami
Miami’s housing stock drives the work we do. The dominant inventory is concrete block structure homes built from the 1950s through 1992, most of which were never retrofitted after Hurricane Andrew rewrote the local codes in 1994. Those openings require a specific kind of attention. Here is where we spend most of our time in Miami.
Impact-Rated Custom Windows and Doors for Pre-1994 CBS Homes
This is the core of our Miami Door Installation and window work. A 1962 CBS house in Allapattah with original jalousie windows is simultaneously non-compliant with current code and increasingly uninsurable. Replacement means masonry cutting and buck framing before any impact unit can be set. We do that work with NOA-certified products, stainless hardware, and marine-grade flashing tape, because the salt air off Biscayne Bay will eat standard aluminum within five years. We quote the coastal-spec version of the job up front, because the inland-spec version costs more by year ten.

Custom Shape Windows for Arched and Radius Openings
Miami has a real inventory of arched and radius openings, especially in the pre-war and mid-century neighborhoods. A stock window will not fit those openings properly, and forcing one leaves sealant gaps that wind-driven rain will find. We measure, template, and order custom shape windows built to the actual opening, not the nearest standard size. That is the difference between a window that sheds water for decades and one that stains the drywall in the first tropical system.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs for Historic Miami Neighborhoods
In neighborhoods like Shenandoah and parts of Coral Gables, the grille pattern matters. A divided lite window with the wrong muntin width changes the look of the whole elevation. We specify simulated divided lites (SDLs) that match the original sightlines while keeping the glass as a single impact-rated unit. That gives you the historic look with modern wind-load performance, and it satisfies Miami-Dade code without a fight.

Commercial Storefront Glazing and Curtain Wall Systems
Miami’s commercial stock along corridors like Flagler Street and Coral Way includes a lot of aging storefront aluminum. Salt air accelerates pitting on standard finishes, and failed sealant at the sill lets water into the framing system. We handle commercial storefront glazing and curtain wall repairs with the same coastal-spec discipline we apply to residential work: stainless fasteners, marine-grade finishes, sealed joints, and NOA-certified glass where the opening requires it. No shortcuts, because a failed storefront in Miami is a liability, not a maintenance item.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and Miami Cgi service. For Miami homeowners, we frequently quote ECO Window Systems alongside Andersen and Pella so you can see side-by-side specs and pricing on paper. Not every brand carries the full set of Miami-Dade NOA certifications across all product lines, so we will not quote a unit for your opening unless we can verify the NOA number in writing. That protects you from paying for a unit that fails inspection before it ever gets installed.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Salt-driven pitting and oxidation of standard aluminum frames. Within two miles of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic, standard aluminum frames and hardware start pitting within five years. The sash begins to bind, the seal fails, and the window that looked fine at installation becomes a draft and a leak. We specify stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes for anything within the salt zone.
- Sealant breakdown at the sill and jamb from wind-driven rain. Even minor flashing defects on a pre-1994 CBS opening become water intrusion points when a tropical system pushes rain sideways. We see this constantly on retrofits where the original rough opening was not properly flashed after masonry cutting. The fix is marine-grade flashing tape and a properly set sill pan, not more caulk.
- Miami-Dade permit rejection for non-NOA products. This is the mistake that catches out-of-county contractors. A window with a Florida Statewide Product Approval number but no Miami-Dade NOA number will be rejected by the inspector on the spot. The homeowner is left with a hole in the wall, a voided permit, and a contractor who already cashed the check. We verify NOA numbers in writing before we order a single unit.
- Original jalousie windows that cannot be insured or retrofitted. Thousands of pre-1960s homes across Little Havana, Allapattah, and Hialeah still have original jalousie windows. They are not impact-rated, they leak air and water, and many insurers will not write a policy on a home with them. Replacement requires masonry cutting to resize the rough opening, because a jalousie opening is not sized for a modern impact casement or fixed unit.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Miami, FL
Here is what coastal-spec custom window and door work actually costs in Miami. A standard impact-rated custom window replacement on a pre-1994 CBS home typically runs $900 to $1,800 per opening, with masonry cutting and buck framing adding $200 to $500 per opening when the rough opening needs resizing. Custom shape windows for arched openings run $1,500 to $3,000 per unit depending on the radius and glass package. Architectural grilles and SDLs add $150 to $400 per sash over a standard impact unit. Commercial storefront glazing work varies by lineal foot, but a typical Miami storefront re-glaze with NOA-certified glass runs $60 to $140 per square foot.
The gap between coastal-spec and inland-spec hardware is real. Stainless fasteners, marine-grade finishes, and sealed joints add roughly 10% to 15% to the hardware cost of a window package. Skipping that upgrade saves money for about five years before salt air eats the standard hardware and you are replacing the units again. In Miami, the cheap spec costs more within a decade. That is not a sales line. It is arithmetic.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Miami
Because Miami-Dade is the only jurisdiction in the country where a replacement window or door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) in addition to Florida Product Approval. A product with only a state approval number will fail inspection in Miami-Dade, and the permit will be rejected on the spot. Before you sign any contract, ask the contractor to show you the specific NOA number for the exact product going into your opening. We verify NOA numbers in writing before ordering a single unit. Call (386) 406-9359 if you want us to check a quote you have received.
Yes, because Miami-Dade code applies the HVHZ requirements countywide, not just along the coast. Hialeah and Miami Shores fall inside the same High-Velocity Hurricane Zone as Miami Beach and Key Biscayne. Impact-rated windows and doors are code-required for replacement work in these areas, and inspectors enforce the NOA requirement countywide. We serve Hialeah, Miami Shores, and every Miami neighborhood with the same NOA-certified product lines.
Salt-laden air, amplified within a mile or two of Biscayne Bay, causes accelerated oxidation and pitting of standard aluminum frames and hardware. The pitting starts within five years on cheap hardware, causing sash binding, seal failure, and corrosion that voids manufacturer warranties. We specify stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes for any opening within the salt zone, because the coastal-spec version of the job lasts decades instead of years. Call (386) 406-9359 to get a coastal-spec quote for your specific openings.
Usually not without modification. Jalousie windows were set in rough openings that are not sized for modern impact casements or fixed units, and the existing opening often requires masonry cutting and buck framing to accept a new impact-rated frame. On a 1962 CBS home in Allapattah, our crew pulled the original jalousies and found the rough openings needed masonry work before we could set the new impact-rated casements. A contractor who skips that step is setting a unit that will not pass inspection and will not perform in a storm.
Coastal-spec hardware costs roughly 10% to 15% more than standard hardware at installation. The inland-spec version of the job typically lasts five years before salt air pits the frames and hardware, at which point you are paying for replacement. The coastal-spec version lasts decades. We quote both options side by side so you see the math in writing. For a free estimate with coastal-spec pricing, call (386) 406-9359.
