If you live in Clearwater, you already know the signs: a sliding door that fights you every time the humidity spikes, a jalousie window you stopped opening because the crank stripped, or a front door that swells tight every summer storm season. Those are not small annoyances here. They are what salt air, tropical sun, and fifty-year-old aluminum frames do to a house on the Pinellas Peninsula. TruePane Windows & Doors installs, replaces, and services windows and doors for Clearwater homeowners, and a live person answers when you call (813) 320-9346, day or night. No phone tree. No callback form.

Why Clearwater Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
We are not the cheapest bid you will get in Clearwater. We are the last call you should need to make. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule he still keeps on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means every opening gets measured twice, every manufacturer line gets quoted side by side on paper, and both warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is on every job we do.
Clearwater homeowners from Countryside to Morningside have hired us for one reason that keeps repeating: they are tired of the fight. The fogged seal nobody would stand behind. The installer who vanished after the deposit. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and send background-checked, uniformed technicians who work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We also back the work with a 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Clearwater
Window Installation
New-construction and retrofit window installation on Clearwater’s CBS block homes requires masonry anchoring done correctly, not a wood-frame technique borrowed from somewhere inland. We set every unit plumb, square, and true, then register the warranty layers before we leave. Learn more about our Window Installation in Clearwater.
Door Installation
Entry doors, exterior doors, and interior doors installed to close true on the first swing, not the third. Clearwater’s humidity will find a gap a careless installer leaves, so we flash and seal every rough opening the same way we would on our own homes. Learn more about our Door Installation in Clearwater.
Window Replacement
Most Clearwater homes built before the 1980s still carry original jalousie or single-pane aluminum sliders that cannot meet current Florida Building Code energy or wind standards. When we replace them, the old glass and frames are hauled away, and the new units are set, sealed, trimmed, and warrantied. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Clearwater.
Impact Windows & Doors
Clearwater sits inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region, which means impact-rated glazing is not a luxury upgrade on most properties here. It is what code requires. We install Impact Windows & Doors in Clearwater from manufacturers like PGT and CGI, and we pull permits so the paperwork matches the work.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and insulated glazing do more for a Clearwater house than cut the power bill, though they do that too. They reduce the solar heat gain that turns a west-facing Clearwater Beach living room into an oven by 3 p.m. We quote Energy-Efficient Windows in Clearwater side by side so the numbers are yours to compare.
Sliding & Patio Doors
A Clearwater slider that binds in July or lets rain track across the tile in August has usually settled out of square or worn its rollers down. We replace Sliding & Patio Doors in Clearwater with units that ride smooth and seal tight, and our workmanship carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass Railing Systems in Clearwater - frameless and semi-frameless - for balconies, pool decks, and stairways, engineered for the wind loads and salt exposure Clearwater properties face. These are structural installations, not decorative afterthoughts.
Custom Windows & Doors
Odd-sized openings, arched tops, hurricane-rated specialty shapes, or a door you want built to match the one from 1962. We measure, order, and install custom units from manufacturers including Andersen, Pella, and Marvin, and we stand behind the result.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Clearwater
Our crews work across Clearwater, from the condos and mid-century ranches of Clearwater Beach and Island Estates to the family neighborhoods around Countryside, Morningside, and Greenbriar. We typically have a technician in the area within one to two business days for estimates and service calls.

Why Clearwater’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Clearwater sits on the Pinellas Peninsula, bracketed by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Tampa Bay to the east. That geography means nearly every home and commercial property in the city falls inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region, where impact-rated glazing or code-compliant storm protection is a legal requirement, not something a salesperson tacks onto the quote. It also means the Gulf’s salt air is constantly working on your window frames and door hardware. Within two to four years of a salt-laden ocean breeze, untreated aluminum frames and steel hinges near the water begin to oxidize and corrode. That is why we quote PVC, fiberglass, and marine-grade aluminum more often than not for coastal Clearwater jobs.
Add in the city’s large stock of 1950s to 1970s concrete-block ranch homes still carrying original single-pane jalousie windows, and you get a specific problem. Jalousie units cannot be weatherstripped effectively, and they cannot be brought into compliance with the current Florida Building Code. Once a permit is pulled for any exterior opening work on those homes, full replacement becomes the only path. Clearwater’s combination of intense UV, high humidity, and direct tropical storm exposure also means glazing seals and weatherstripping degrade faster here than in inland cities just 25 miles east. A window that would last 20 years in Brandon might need attention in 12 here. We plan for that.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Clearwater
Clearwater window replacement for a standard 3-by-5-foot double-hung unit typically runs $550 to $1,100 per window installed, depending on glass package, frame material, and whether the opening needs masonry repair. Impact-rated units on a CBS ranch home often land between $900 and $1,700 per opening. Entry door replacement starts around $800 and climbs with custom sizing, sidelights, and impact-rated slabs. Sliding glass door replacement commonly falls between $1,800 and $4,500. These are honest Clearwater market ranges, not a teaser. We give written, fixed-price quotes before work begins, and we do not add surprise line items after the fact. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate and an exact number for your home.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Clearwater
Most likely, yes. Clearwater falls inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so any new or replacement window or door permitted for an exterior opening must meet current code for impact resistance or be protected by an approved shutter system. A property on Clearwater Beach or the barrier islands seaward of the Florida DEP Coastal Construction Control Line has an additional state permit requirement before exterior opening work begins. Call (813) 320-9346 and we can tell you what applies to your specific address.
Impact-rated windows in Clearwater typically run $900 to $1,700 per opening installed, with sliding glass doors ranging higher depending on size and frame material. The final number depends on the manufacturer line, the glass package, and the condition of the existing opening. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying, and estimates are free.
No. TruePane uses fixed, written pricing with no change orders added mid-job unless we uncover something structural and you approve the revision in writing first. The quote we hand you is the number you pay. That is part of The Keystone Standard.
Yes. We pull all required local building permits and, where required, the Florida DEP Coastal Construction Control Line permit for barrier island properties. The permit and inspection paperwork is handled by us, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
Most single-opening replacements are completed in one visit, typically a half day to a full day depending on the condition of the rough opening and whether masonry repair is needed. A full-house window replacement on a 1950s CBS ranch might take two to four days. We will tell you the schedule before we start and we will be there when we say.
If your windows fog between the glass, your doors bind in the humidity, or you’re ready to bring a 1960s Clearwater house into compliance with today’s code, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate. A live person answers, and the quote is in writing.

What Clearwater Customers Say
"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."Eleven windows replaced in two days. The crew chief, Marcus, showed me the level on every single frame before they caulked it. My wife noticed the street noise was gone before I did."
- Ronald P."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L.
