When you choose TruePane Windows & Doors, we handle the entire installation process, from precise measuring to registering your warranty, and we also install Impact Garage Doors to ensure your home stands up to the South Florida climate. Call (386) 200-9224 today to schedule your free estimate and speak with a professional about securing your property.
Living in Palmetto Bay means you understand the reality of hurricane season. It is not just about the wind speeds; it is about the debris that travels at high velocity during a storm. We see homes in neighborhoods like Coral Reef and along the canal-front properties where windows are the primary vulnerability. If your current windows are older, single-pane glass or rely on heavy, cumbersome Hurricane Shutters & Protection that require you to be home to deploy them, you are carrying unnecessary risk.
At TruePane Windows & Doors, we operate differently than the high-pressure sales outfits you might have encountered before. Founded by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier, we believe that if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our team focuses on the structural integrity of your home. Whether you are looking to replace failing aluminum frames that have pitted from salt air or you are upgrading to meet current building codes, we provide side-by-side quotes on manufacturer lines like PGT and CGI so you see exactly what you are paying for. We are a locally rooted company, and we invite you to learn more about our broader Impact Windows & Doors in Palmetto Bay services if you are planning a full home renovation.
When You Need Hurricane Impact Windows
Recognizing when your windows have reached the end of their useful life is critical for your home’s safety. In Palmetto Bay, the combination of high humidity, intense UV exposure, and the ever-present threat of storm damage accelerates the wear on standard glass. We often get called to homes where the following signs are already present:
- Seal failure and fogging: If you see condensation trapped between your glass panes, the insulating gas has escaped and the seal is broken. This is a common issue we address in older homes near the coast where salt air corrodes the spacer bars.
- Difficulty operating the sash: If your windows stick, bind, or require significant force to open and close, the frame has likely shifted or the internal hardware is failing. A window that does not lock properly is a major security risk and a weak point during a wind event.
- High energy bills despite modern insulation: Older, non-impact windows often lack the Low-E coatings required for our Florida climate. If your air conditioner runs constantly, your windows are likely letting heat gain in and cooled air out.
- Visible frame corrosion: Aluminum frames that show white, chalky pitting are suffering from electrolysis and salt oxidation. Once the frame integrity is compromised, the window cannot effectively hold the glass during the pressure changes of a hurricane.
- Outdated shutter requirements: If you are still relying on plywood or manual metal shutters, you are essentially gambling on whether you will be home to deploy them. Impact windows provide 24/7 protection without the need for manual intervention.
When you notice these issues, it is time to have a professional look at the openings. We never push for a full replacement if a repair is the honest solution, but we will always tell you if the cost of the repair exceeds the long-term value of the unit. Call (386) 200-9224 if you want an honest assessment from a company that plans to be in this community for another forty years.
Our Hurricane Impact Windows Process

- The Initial Consultation and Measurement: We send a background-checked, uniformed technician to your home. We measure every opening twice. We do not use “rough estimates” or generic pricing. We look at the condition of your existing bucks and sills to ensure the new windows will be installed to code.
- Side-by-Side Quote Presentation: We do not hide behind a single “best” option. We present you with paper quotes for multiple manufacturer lines, such as ES Windows or PGT, so you can compare the features, warranty coverage, and price points directly. You make the decision based on clear information.
- The Keystone Standard Registration: Before our truck leaves your driveway, we register both the manufacturer warranty layers and our own workmanship guarantee. You receive this documentation in writing. We do not believe in making you chase paperwork later.
- Precision Installation: Our crews are local, trained, and accountable. We remove your old windows, inspect the substrate for any rot or hidden damage, and install your new impact units level and square. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- The Done Right Promise: We stand behind our work. If you find an issue within 90 days, we fix it. No arguing, no fine print, and no excuses. We want you to be satisfied enough to call us again for your next project.

FAQs - Hurricane Impact Windows
How much does it cost to replace windows in a typical Palmetto Bay home?
Most homeowners in Palmetto Bay spend between $800 and $1,500 per window opening for high-quality, code-compliant hurricane impact windows, though this price changes based on the size and style of the window. We provide upfront, written quotes so you know exactly what you are paying before any work begins. Call (386) 200-9224 to schedule a free estimate and get a firm price for your project.
Is it cheaper to repair my existing windows or replace them with impact windows?
If your windows are simply out of alignment or have minor hardware issues, a repair is often the most cost-effective solution, and we are happy to perform that work for you. However, if the seals are broken, the frames are corroding, or the glass is not impact-rated, a repair is often a temporary fix for a larger problem, and replacement is the better long-term investment. We will always give you an honest recommendation based on the condition of your specific windows; call us at (386) 200-9224 for a professional assessment.
How long does the installation process take?
Most standard residential window replacement jobs are completed in a single visit, though the exact timeline depends on the number of openings and the complexity of the installation.
