Custom Windows & Doors in Miami Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Custom Windows & Doors for Miami Beach Homeowners

Custom Windows & Doors - Miami Beach typically cost between $1,800 and $8,500 per opening depending on size, glass package, and frame material, and a full custom project usually takes four to eight weeks from measurement to final walkthrough. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed and serviced custom openings across Miami Beach since 2008, under the direction of second-generation glazier Dale Kessler. If you have an arch that no stock window fits, a storefront that needs to match a 1940s original, or a sliding glass wall that has to hold up to hurricane season, call (386) 406-9359 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, every day.

Call (386) 406-9359

We are the Best Custom Windows & Doors in Miami Beach, FL - not the cheapest bid. We are the last call you should need to make. Every custom job is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.

What Our Custom Windows & Doors Service Includes

Custom means the opening dictates the solution, not the other way around. Here is what we actually do, in plain terms, for Miami Beach homeowners and building owners.

Custom Shape Windows

Houses in Miami Beach are full of half-rounds, eyebrow arches, angled glass, and octagons that stock manufacturers stopped making years ago. A custom shape window is any opening that cannot be filled with a standard rectangle from a warehouse shelf. TruePane templates every curved or angled opening by hand, orders the glass to the exact radius from the manufacturer, and sets it square and plumb so the reveal is even all the way around. When the sun hits a poorly set arch, the gap shows. Ours do not.

Commercial Storefront Glazing

Storefront glazing is the aluminum-framed glass system you see at street level in Miami Beach shops, lobbies, and restaurants. It takes a beating from salt air, foot traffic, and storms, and when a panel cracks or a frame bows, the whole elevation looks tired. TruePane fabricates and installs replacement storefront glass to match the existing sightlines, including tempered and laminated packages required by Miami-Dade code. We work with building owners to schedule work around business hours so the shop stays open.

Curtain Wall Systems

A curtain wall is the non-structural glass skin on mid-rise condo and commercial buildings, the kind you see on Collins Avenue and along West Avenue. These systems expand and contract with heat, wind, and salt, and after twenty years the gaskets and anchors fail. TruePane services and replaces curtain wall components, keeps the thermal break intact, and matches glass tint and reflectance so you cannot tell the new lite from the old. We pull permits, schedule any required inspections, and register the warranty in writing.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs

Grilles and simulated divided lites, or SDLs, are the bars that give a window the look of individual panes. In Miami Beach, they are common on Mediterranean revival and Art Deco homes where the original look must be preserved. TruePane installs true divided lites, SDLs applied to the interior and exterior of insulated glass, and custom bar profiles that match the depth and width of the original 1930s millwork. We measure every opening twice, and the bar alignment is checked against a straightedge before we call the job done.

Oversized Glass Panels

Oversized glass means any pane that requires two or more people, suction rigging, or a crane to set, typically eight feet wide or taller. Miami Beach clients ask for these in great rooms, stairwells, and indoor-outdoor openings where the view is the point. TruePane orders the glass from manufacturers who can hit the required wind-load rating for Miami-Dade County, and we coordinate the lift and set with a crew that has done it hundreds of times. Dale Kessler’s rule applies here more than anywhere: a panel set a quarter inch out of true will bind, leak, or crack. We set it true the first time.

Brands We Service for Custom Windows & Doors

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. We have fabricated and installed hundreds of PGT custom impact windows in Miami Beach, particularly in the single-family neighborhoods of Normandy Isle and Sunset Islands where wind-borne debris ratings are non-negotiable. We know PGT’s order system, their lead times, and how to spec their frames for a custom radius without voiding the warranty.

We also work regularly with Jeld-Wen and Simonton custom lines, most often on mid-century homes where the original aluminum frames are being replaced with modern thermally broken units that read visually the same from the street. Whether you have PGT, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, Ply Gem, or any other make, we can quote it side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying and what each warranty covers. No vague promises. Just the line items.

Signs You Need Custom Windows & Doors Right Now

• Fogging or condensation between the glass panes. When the seal on insulated glass fails, moisture gets trapped between the lites and the view goes milky. In Miami Beach’s humidity, a failed seal only gets worse, and the glass has to be replaced, not wiped. The longer it sits, the more the frame and sash absorb that trapped moisture.
• Doors that bind or stick in the summer. Miami Beach frames and slabs move with heat and humidity, and a door that only opens with a shoulder in July is telling you the opening is no longer true. Forcing it wears down hinges, strikes, and rollers. A custom door set true stays square through the seasons.
• Daylight visible around window or door edges. If you can see a sliver of light between the sash and the frame, you are also moving conditioned air out and salt air in. That gap is a custom sizing problem, not a weatherstrip problem. It means the original unit was not measured to the opening, or the house has settled since it was installed.
• Water stains or soft drywall below windows. Staining on the interior sill or wall usually means water is getting behind the frame, not through the glass. In a coastal climate, that trapped water feeds rot and mold inside the rough opening. By the time you see the stain, the leak has been active for months.
• Cracked or chipped glass edges on large panes. A chip on the edge of an oversized panel can spread across the whole lite when the building shifts or the wind loads spike during a storm. Miami Beach’s exposure means edge damage should not wait. A replacement lite ordered and set now is cheaper than an emergency call after the glass lets go.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step

We do not leave you guessing about what happens next. Here is how a custom project moves from first call to final walkthrough with TruePane.

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (386) 406-9359 and a live person answers, any hour, any day. We take the details of your opening, your building type, and what you are trying to solve, and we schedule a measurement visit at a time that works for you.
2. 2
   Measure, template, and document. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives on time and measures every opening twice, then templates any curved or angled work by hand. We photograph the existing conditions, note the exposure, and check the rough opening for signs of water intrusion or structural settling that would affect the new unit.
3. 3
   Side-by-side quote on paper. Back at the shop, we quote the manufacturer lines that fit your opening, not whatever we have the most margin on. You see the glass package, frame material, hardware, labor, permit fees, and warranty durations in writing. The price on the quote is the price on the bill. No change orders, no surprise line items.
4. 4
   Order, fabricate, and install. We order the glass and frames, track the lead time, and schedule the install when everything has arrived and been inspected in our shop. The crew sets the unit true, shims and anchors to manufacturer spec, seals against Miami Beach’s wind and salt, and cleans up before they leave.
5. 5
   Warranty registration and follow-up. Before the truck leaves your driveway, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing with the durations stated. Then we walk the job with you, check the reveal, the operation, and the seal, and hand you the paperwork. The Done Right Promise covers everything after that, no arguing, no fine print.
