AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Miami
Window installation in Miami comes down to one question before anything else: does the product carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance? If it doesn’t, the rough inspection fails and you pay for removal and reinstallation. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve built our Miami installation practice around the High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, not around what ships fastest from a distributor. Our crews work throughout Miami, from Coral Gables to Hialeah, and we coordinate every job from our South Florida office. Call us at (813) 320-9346 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule matters more in Miami than almost anywhere else. A window that’s out of true in a concrete block wall doesn’t just look wrong; it binds, it leaks, and it tells the inspector something else is hiding behind the stucco.
Miami homeowners call us because we don’t treat a window swap like a transaction. A window swap in a 1962 CBS house on Calle Ocho is different from a window swap in a 2005 townhome in Brickell. The anchoring is different, the rough opening is different, and the flashing detail an inspector checks is different. We work both types of openings every month.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard. And every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Our Window Installation Services in Miami
Casement Windows
Casement windows crank outward on a hinge and seal against the frame with compression, which makes them one of the best-performing choices for Miami’s wind-driven rain. These are our most-installed window for older CBS homes in neighborhoods like Shenandoah and Westchester. In Miami, casement windows run roughly $750 to $1,400 per opening installed, depending on impact rating and frame material. A fusion-welded vinyl casement with a Miami-Dade NOA handles large-missile impact testing better than most sliding windows at a similar cost.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are common in Miami condos built before 1990, especially along Brickell Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard corridors. The original builder-grade aluminum frames on east-facing units corrode in salt air within eight to ten years. We see fogged insulated glass and failed seals regularly. Replacing a sliding window in a Miami condo typically runs $600 to $1,100 per opening. For a retrofit that brings an old condo up to HVHZ code, expect the higher end of that range.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which lets you leave them cracked during a Miami afternoon shower without water pouring across the sill. They’re a practical choice over kitchen sinks or in bathrooms where privacy and airflow both matter. Awning window installation in Miami generally runs $650 to $1,200 per opening. The smaller widths and specialty hardware push the per-window cost into the middle of the range.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed windows don’t open, so the entire job is about the glass package and the anchoring. In Miami, that means impact-rated laminated glass with a NOA sticker posted on the product for the inspector. Picture windows with wide spans over a Miami water view run $500 to $1,000 per opening for the window itself, with installation adding $250 to $500 depending on access and whether scaffolding is needed. The big cost driver is the glass specification, not the frame.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows are less common in Miami than in the rest of the country, but they show up in older Coral Gables and Buena Vista homes built in a northern style. These openings need careful retrofit work because the wood frames are often rotted at the bottom corners. Expect $700 to $1,300 per opening installed, with the higher end reflecting impact-rated sashes and a Miami-Dade NOA.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Miami we lean on the products that hold up in salt air and pass HVHZ testing. We regularly install Andersen, Pella, and Marvin windows, and we quote them side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. When a homeowner needs a specific NOA-matched product for their building, we also work with PGT and CGI lines that dominate the Miami condo market. We don’t stock every brand in a warehouse; we order to specification and register the warranties in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Florida-statewide-approved windows that lack a Miami-Dade NOA. A contractor installs a product that meets the Florida Building Code but doesn’t carry the county-specific Notice of Acceptance. The rough inspection fails on the spot, and the homeowner pays to have the windows pulled and a compliant product installed.
- Corroded aluminum frames on salt-facing facades. In an east-facing Miami Beach condo or a house on Key Biscayne, builder-grade aluminum pitting begins within a decade. Once the frame corrodes, the seal fails and the insulated glass fogs. Marine-grade frames and thermal breaks are not optional in this climate.
- Improper anchoring in concrete block rough openings. Pre-1970 CBS homes in Hialeah and Little Havana have masonry openings that should not be shimmed like wood-frame construction. When a crew treats concrete block like wood, the window shifts and the stucco cracks at the jamb.
- No flashing or failed flashing behind the stucco. We open walls on Miami remodels and find nothing but felt paper behind old window flanges. Water intrusion has been running down the wall cavity for years. Correct installation requires flashing tape or liquid-applied membrane at the sill and jamb, which an HVHZ inspector will verify.
Pricing for Window Installation in Miami, FL
Miami window installation prices run higher than the rest of Florida because the products must carry a Miami-Dade NOA, and that certification adds real cost. Here’s what we see on typical projects:
- Single replacement window with standard impact rating: $600 to $1,400
- Full retrofit of a 1960s CBS home with 10 to 12 windows: $12,000 to $22,000
- Condominium window replacement (per unit, 4 to 6 windows): $3,500 to $8,000
- Exterior door replacement with HVHZ-rated door and frame: $2,500 to $5,500
What moves the price in Miami is the glass specification, the condition of the rough opening, and whether your building requires a specific NOA-matched product. We write a line-item quote on paper. If the opening has rot or undersized framing, we price it in writing before we touch it. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Window Installation in Miami
Yes. Every window and door replacement in Miami-Dade County must use a product with a county-issued Notice of Acceptance, even if it’s a single window in a condo unit. A Miami-Dade inspector will check the NOA number against the county’s online product approval database during the rough inspection. If the sticker isn’t posted and the number doesn’t verify, the inspection fails and you’re paying for removal and reinstallation. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll confirm your product carries a valid NOA before we order it.
Yes, but it’s a retrofit, not a swap. Jalousie windows in homes across Little Havana and Hialeah sit in rough openings that are too shallow for modern frame depths. We remove the jalousie hardware, assess the existing concrete block opening, and often rebuild the jambs. The jalousie glass slats offer no hurricane resistance and fail modern energy codes, so replacement is almost always a code upgrade, not just a cosmetic change.
Because the quote assumed the rough opening was sound. On Miami homes built before 1970, we frequently find undersized framing, corroded metal anchors, or no flashing at all behind the stucco. A contractor who doesn’t open the wall can’t see it. But the jump should never be a surprise: we inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and any hidden condition gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. If a contractor changes the number without a written change order, that’s a red flag.
In many Miami-Dade homes, yes. Carriers across South Florida are refusing to write policies on homes without impact-rated openings, or they’re pricing them dramatically higher. A complete set of impact windows with Miami-Dade NOAs often triggers a wind mitigation credit on your policy. The savings depend on your carrier and your policy specifics. We recommend calling your agent before installation, then we’ll provide the product documentation and NOA numbers your carrier needs to process the credit.
Look for fogging between the glass panes, a milky film you can’t wipe off, or condensation you can’t reach. That’s a failed insulated glass unit, not a cleaning problem. In Miami’s salt air, seal failure on east- and south-facing windows starts showing up within eight to ten years. Argon loss isn’t visible, but it shows up as a window that feels warm in the sun or a heating bill that creeps up. If you can feel air moving around the frame or the window binds when you open it, the sealant and possibly the frame have failed. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll take a look during a free estimate.
