Most window and door calls we take in North Miami start the same way: a jalousie window won’t close tight, a sliding door binds in the track, or a single-pane aluminum frame has fogged between the glass and now shows a permanent hazy film. These are not rare exceptions in this city. They are the standard condition of mid-century CBS homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, and they fail exactly the way you would expect them to after sixty years of Biscayne Bay salt air and hurricane seasons. We know those houses. We know those openings. And we answer the phone when you call: (813) 320-9346.

Why North Miami Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 after watching too many homeowners in southern Florida get left with out-of-true installs and voided warranties that nobody would stand behind. The company has served local communities since 2008 through that same simple standard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We are not a franchise and we do not work from a call center script. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and show up in uniform with the right documentation in hand, because we plan to be in North Miami thirty years from now answering the phone the same way we do today.
Homeowners around Arch Creek and Sabal Palm have told us the same thing on repeat: the last contractor they called either never returned to fix a binding door or handed them a bill with surprise line items. We do not work that way. Every job is priced upfront, quoted on paper, and covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. We also register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, with durations stated plainly so you know exactly what is covered and for how long.
You will also get a live person on the phone. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. A human being answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That matters when you are standing in front of a broken window in Arch Creek at 7 p.m. wondering whether the rain from the next storm front is going to come through the gap. Call us and you will have an answer, not a dial tone.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in North Miami
Window Installation
New construction, remodels, and retrofit projects in North Miami’s CBS homes all count on us for window installation that fits the rough opening right the first time. Whether the opening is square or not, we measure twice and set the frame true before any glass goes in. Learn more about our Window Installation in North Miami.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, and patio doors in North Miami face two relentless enemies: salt air and direct afternoon sun. We install doors with frames and hardware rated for marine environments so you are not fighting a swollen door again next July. Learn more about our Door Installation in North Miami.
Window Replacement
Most North Miami window replacements involve removing original jalousie or early aluminum windows and retrofitting a modern, code-compliant unit into a masonry opening that rarely matches standard stock sizes. We quote the job honestly, order the right unit, and handle the full permit path. Learn more about our Window Replacement in North Miami.
Impact Windows & Doors
Every impact window and door in North Miami must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, or it cannot be legally permitted and installed. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, and Marvin, and we bring the physical NOA documentation to the job site. Learn more about Impact Windows & Doors in North Miami.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Older single-pane units in North Miami leak conditioned air straight through the frame, and Florida Power & Light bills show it. We quote you side-by-side energy packages, including Low-E coatings and insulated glass units, so the numbers are on paper before you sign. Learn more about Energy-Efficient Windows in North Miami.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Salt corrosion is the leading killer of sliding door hardware within two miles of Biscayne Bay. We install marine-grade tracks and rollers that survive that environment and slide clean for years, not months. Learn more about Sliding & Patio Doors - North Miami.
Glass Railing Systems
For porches, balconies, and pool decks, we install frameless and semi-frameless glass railing systems built to HVHZ wind loading standards. North Miami’s windy afternoons and coastal humidity demand hardware and glass that will not loosen over time. Learn more about Glass Railing Systems - North Miami.
Custom Windows & Doors
Some North Miami homes have window and door openings that no manufacturer stock unit will ever fit. We measure, order, and install custom windows and doors sized to the actual masonry opening, not the closest catalog number. Learn more about our custom windows and doors in North Miami.
Neighborhoods We Serve in North Miami
Our crews work throughout North Miami’s residential core, and we typically schedule an estimate within a day or two for most homes. We regularly work in these neighborhoods:
- Arch Creek
- Sabal Palm
- North Miami West
- Biscayne Park
- Central North Miami
Why North Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
North Miami’s residential streets are dense with mid-century CBS homes built in the 1950s through the 1970s. Many of them still have original jalousie or early single-pane aluminum windows. None of those units meet Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, which is the most stringent impact code in the nation. That means a window or door replacement here is not a swap-out job. It is a compliance-and-retrofit project, and it is one that out-of-county contractors routinely underestimate.
The second factor is Biscayne Bay. Most of North Miami sits within two to three miles of the water, and the onshore air carries salt constantly. Non-marine-grade aluminum frames oxidize and corrode faster here than they do even a few miles inland. We see it constantly in Arch Creek and Sabal Palm: frames pitted, hardware seized, tracks filled with white corrosion powder. That is why we quote marine-grade finishes and hardware as the standard for North Miami, not as an upsell.
North Miami inspectors also enforce HVHZ product approval at rough inspection. If a contractor shows up without the physical NOA documentation on site, the inspection fails automatically and the homeowner pays re-inspection fees. We bring that paperwork on every permitted job. It is part of the Keystone Standard and it is not optional.

What North Miami Customers Say
"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."Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A."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.
