Window and door work in Coral Gables follows a different set of rules than almost anywhere else in Florida. This city’s 1920s and 1930s Mediterranean Revival homes have arched openings, original steel casements, and thick stucco walls, and the local preservation board reviews changes on contributing structures before work can begin. We know those rules because we work inside them every week. If you need a straight answer about what your home can and cannot accept, call (386) 200-9224 and you’ll speak with someone who can tell you.

Why Coral Gables Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Most of the calls we take from Coral Gables start the same way: a homeowner has an original window that no longer closes, a door that binds in summer, or an insurance letter requiring hurricane-rated glazing, and they’ve already been told conflicting things by two contractors. We sort that out with a written, side-by-side quote that shows exactly what each manufacturer line costs and what each warranty covers. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that still governs every estimate: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We work regularly in neighborhoods like the French City Village, where arched front door surrounds and decorative iron grilles are part of the original Merrick-era design, and in Cocoplum, where contemporary waterfront homes demand Impact Windows & Doors in Coral Gables that still meets the county’s strictest wind-load calculations. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and every job carries the Done Right Promise.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Coral Gables
Window Installation
We install new windows in Coral Gables homes ranging from original Mediterranean Revival structures to newer infill construction. Every opening gets measured twice, and products are quoted on paper with manufacturer lines shown side by side so you see exactly what you’re paying for.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Coral Gables.
Door Installation
Coral Gables entry doors often sit in arched openings with decorative iron surrounds, which means off-the-shelf units frequently will not fit. We measure the opening the way it actually is, not the way a catalog assumes it is, and order doors that set properly the first time.

Window Replacement
Replacing original steel casements or decades-old aluminum sashes in Coral Gables requires knowing which products meet Miami-Dade NOA requirements and which profiles the Architectural Review Board will accept. We handle both conversations, so you don’t get a stop-work order two weeks into the job.

Impact Windows & Doors
Coral Gables sits in Miami-Dade County, which means impact products require NOA certification, not just Florida Product Approval. On historic contributing structures, the impact unit must also match the original grid pattern, sightline, and operation type, a combination that catches out-of-area window companies off guard regularly.
We quote impact lines from manufacturers including Marvin, Milgard, and PGT, and we show you the NOA numbers on paper before you commit.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Salt air and afternoon sun work hard on Coral Gables windows, especially on waterfront streets. We walk you through Energy-Efficient Windows in Coral Gables, frame materials, and finish coatings that hold up to coastal exposure and reduce the heat load on your cooling system.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Many Coral Gables patios and loggias open through Sliding & Patio Doors in Coral Gables that have shifted slightly over decades. We set tracks level, hang panels so they glide without dragging, and make sure the threshold drains away from the house, which matters in a city that gets more than 60 inches of rain a year.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass Railing Systems in Coral Gables on balconies, terraces, and pool decks must carry impact-rated glass and stand up to salt corrosion on every metal component. We install systems that meet code and keep their clarity without constant scrubbing.
Custom Windows & Doors
If your Coral Gables home has arched, oval, or otherwise non-rectangular openings, stock units will not comply, and forcing them in creates leaks and binding. We order custom and semi-custom units built to the exact radius and profile of the original opening.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Coral Gables
Our crews work throughout the city, from the historic core near Biltmore Way to the waterfront streets farther south. Typical response time for estimates in Coral Gables is one to two business days, and our scheduler confirms the window rather than making you wait around.

Why Coral Gables’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Coral Gables has a combination of building stock and climate rules that no other city in South Florida matches exactly. The dominant architecture here comes from George Merrick’s planned development of the 1920s through the 1940s: thick stucco over masonry, arched window and door openings, decorative iron surrounds, and original steel casement or wood windows that have often been patched or partially replaced over decades. Those arched, non-rectangular openings mean standard impact units will not comply on most historic jobs.
At the same time, sitting in Miami-Dade County just inland from Biscayne Bay means every window and door product must carry NOA certification, a higher bar than the rest of Florida. The persistent coastal salt air accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames, hardware, and especially any remaining original steel casements. Material selection and finish coatings are not upsell talking points here. They are the difference between hardware that still operates in five years and hardware that seizes in three.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Coral Gables
If your home is a contributing structure in one of Coral Gables’s historic districts, yes, you typically need ARB review before replacing windows or doors. The board requires that replacements match the original profiles, operation types, grid patterns, and materials. Installing without approval can trigger a stop-work order and required removal, which is why this is the first thing we check on every Coral Gables estimate. Call (386) 200-9224 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home requires.
NOA, short for Notice of Acceptance, is Miami-Dade County’s own product approval for wind-borne debris resistance, and it is the strictest glazing standard in the United States. A window that carries Florida Product Approval may not carry a Miami-Dade NOA, and in Coral Gables, the NOA is the minimum for any impact product we install. Every quote we write includes the product’s NOA number.
Usually not without running afoul of the ARB. The original arched and non-rectangular openings on Merrick-era homes require custom or semi-custom impact units, and the sightline and grid pattern must match the original. We measure the actual radius and profile of each opening and quote products built to that shape. Expect custom arched impact units to run between $2,200 and $4,500 per opening.
Most standard replacements are completed in a single visit, typically one day for a small number of openings. Custom arched or oversized units take longer because the product is built to order, and historic district reviews can add time before the job starts. We’ll give you a written timeline at the estimate, and we hold to it.
No, not if we wrote the quote. Our pricing is fixed before work begins, and we do not add surprise line items to the bill. The only thing that changes an estimate is discovering a condition inside the wall that no one could see before the opening was exposed, and if that happens, we stop, show you what we found, and get your approval in writing before proceeding. Estimates are free. Call (386) 200-9224 to schedule one.

What Coral Gables Customers Say
"Two entry doors. Showed up when they said, second day was a half day like they said, and the painter they recommended confirmed the frames were dead plumb. The financing was explained in actual dollars, not a brochure."
- Janet R."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."French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S.
