We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we work on Miami Shores homes every week. Our crews know the village’s preservation rules, its salty air, and its older housing stock. When you call (386) 406-9359, a live person answers. No phone tree, no callback form. We’ll talk through what you’re seeing and get a technician to your home at a time that works.

Why Miami Shores Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Homeowners in the historic district near Griffing Boulevard and down toward Biscayne Bay call us for a specific reason: we don’t treat a 1930s Mediterranean Revival home like a 2005 spec house. The window openings are different. The stucco is thicker. The village has rules about what can go back in. Our technicians measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s how we’ve earned a strong local reputation among Miami Shores residents.
We serve homes from the golf course side of the village up to the bayfront streets near the country club. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a simple rule that still hangs on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Every job carries a Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. We stand behind it.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami Shores
Window Installation
New windows in Miami Shores need to do two jobs: match the home’s original character and meet Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone codes. We install units sized and finished for the village’s specific housing stock, including narrow-frame profiles that satisfy preservation review. Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami Shores.
Door Installation
Front doors in Miami Shores take a beating from salt air and summer humidity. We install entry doors, storm doors, and hinged patio doors with stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes built for a few blocks off Biscayne Bay. Learn more about our Door Installation in Miami Shores.
Window Replacement
Replacing original steel casements is the most common job we do in Miami Shores, and it’s also the one where installation mistakes show up fastest. We match sightlines, preserve visible frame profiles, and make sure the opening is flashed correctly behind stucco. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami Shores.
Impact Windows & Doors
Every opening in Miami Shores must carry Miami-Dade NOA product approval. We install impact-rated windows and doors from Pella, Marvin, and Milgard, with both warranty layers registered in writing. The product approval sticker goes on the frame, the paperwork goes in your hand.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Homes built between 1925 and 1955 were never designed for modern cooling loads. Energy-efficient windows with low-E glass and insulated frames cut the heat gain that makes AC units run nonstop from May through October in Miami Shores.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Salt air corrodes sliding door tracks and rollers faster in Miami Shores than a mile inland. We replace and upgrade sliding and patio doors with stainless rollers, aluminum or vinyl frames rated for coastal exposure, and impact glass where code requires it.
Glass Railing Systems
For upper-level decks and pool areas, glass railing systems from TruePane give you a clear sightline while standing up to wind loads and salt exposure. We install and replace glass railing panels with stainless fasteners throughout.
Custom Windows & Doors
Sometimes an opening in a 1930s home will not accept any stock unit. We order custom windows and doors, often with historically compatible frame profiles, and handle the entire process from template through installation.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami Shores
We work all over the village. The homes change block by block, but the challenges stay consistent: preservation review, salt air, and aging openings. Typical response time for a Miami Shores estimate is within one business day, and most calls get a same-day or next-day appointment.

Why Miami Shores’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami Shores sits a few blocks from Biscayne Bay, and that proximity changes what a window or door has to survive. Salt-laden air corrodes standard aluminum frames, sill hardware, and weatherstripping significantly faster than properties even a mile inland. We specify marine-grade anodized or painted finishes and stainless fasteners as a practical necessity, not an upsell. The entire village falls within Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every opening must carry Miami-Dade NOA-approved impact products. That’s the strictest product-approval standard in the country, and there is no workaround.
The housing stock adds another layer. Miami Shores is dominated by Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial, and Streamline Moderne homes built roughly 1925 to 1955, most with original steel casement windows set into thick stucco walls with decorative wrought-iron grilles. Replacing those openings demands custom or semi-custom impact-rated units because standard off-the-shelf aluminum windows frequently fail to match the narrow frame profiles the village’s preservation board requires. Local contractors know that the Miami Shores Historic Preservation Board has sent back permit applications for otherwise code-compliant impact windows because the visible frame width didn’t replicate the slim profile of the original 1930s steel casements. Savvy installers pre-submit elevation drawings with frame dimensions to the village before pulling a building permit. We do that on every contributing structure we bid.

Written by Dale Kessler, Owner at TruePane Windows & Doors. Dale is a second-generation glazier and founded TruePane in 2008 on the principle that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. He leads a team that serves Miami Shores and surrounding communities with the same standard he’d apply to his own mother’s house.

What Miami Shores Customers Say
"Quote was the price, which after three other bids that grew legs was worth something. Double-hungs went in clean, they hauled the old ones, and the registration paperwork for the warranty came in the mail like they said."
- Dorothy K."Sliding door had been dragging for years. They quoted a repair first, said the track was shot, then priced the replacement both ways on paper. No pressure either direction. Door glides with one finger now."
- Carol M."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G.
