Window Replacement in Palmetto Bay - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Window Replacement for Palmetto Bay Homeowners

Window replacement in Palmetto Bay typically runs $850-$2,400 per window installed, with most full-home projects landing between $12,000 and $38,000 depending on frame material, glass package, and whether you’re upgrading to Miami-Dade impact-rated units. We’ve been setting windows in this village since 2008, and Dale Kessler’s crew has seen every salt-air and storm-driven failure this coast can produce. If you’re staring at fogged glass, a frame that’s gone soft in the corners, or cranks that fight you every July afternoon, call (386) 200-9224 and a real person will answer. We’ll give you a straight answer on whether you need one window or fourteen, and what it costs either way.

What Our Window Replacement Service Includes

Window replacement is not a single job. It’s a family of approaches, and which one fits your house depends on the condition of the existing frame, the age of the home, and what you’re actually trying to fix. We walk through each option on paper, with prices side by side, before a single screw comes out. Here’s what we do under this roof.

Full Frame Replacement

Full Frame Replacement means the entire existing window comes out - frame, sill, trim, flashing, everything down to the rough opening. You need this when the frame itself has rotted, warped, or pulled away from the house, which we see regularly in older Palmetto Bay homes where original builder-grade units have been taking salt air for thirty years. TruePane pulls the old unit, inspects the rough opening for hidden moisture damage that’s been hiding behind the trim, and sets the new window as a complete system. This is the only approach that lets us fully re-flash and re-seal the perimeter, which is what actually stops the leaks that ruined the last window.

Insert Window Replacement

An Insert Window Replacement, sometimes called a pocket replacement, fits a new window unit inside the existing frame. It’s faster and less invasive, and it makes sense when the frame is still structurally sound but the sashes, glass, or hardware are done. In Palmetto Bay, where many homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s with aluminum frames that are still square, inserts are often the right call. We measure every opening twice - once with the sash out, once with it in - before we order anything. A window that’s ordered off a bad measurement becomes a change order, and that’s the kind of surprise we don’t put on a bill.

Storm Window Replacement

Storm windows are the exterior-mounted secondary glazing layer that older homes often carried over their original single-pane units. When the storm window’s own frame is bent, the glass cracked, or the seals gone, it’s not protecting the primary window anymore, and you’re losing both comfort and security. TruePane replaces storm windows with properly fitted units that drain the way the manufacturer intended, because a storm window that traps water against the primary frame causes more damage than no storm window at all. We also talk straight with you about whether a storm window replacement is actually the right fix, or whether replacing the primary window with a modern insulated unit would serve you better.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

An Energy-Efficient Upgrade replaces your existing windows with units built around low-E glass coatings, argon or krypton gas fills, and thermally broken frames that interrupt heat transfer. In Palmetto Bay’s climate, the big enemy is solar heat gain through east- and west-facing glass, and the right low-E coating can cut that substantially. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see the U-factor and SHGC numbers for each option, not just the marketing sticker. You should know exactly what you’re paying for in glass performance, and what it will actually do to your cooling bill during the months your AC runs hardest.

Historic Window Restoration

Historic Window Restoration is different from replacement - it’s about preserving the original wood sashes, muntins, and glass where the window has architectural or historical value. Some older Palmetto Bay homes carry windows worth keeping, and we’ll tell you honestly when restoration is the better path. We re-glaze, re-putty, replace rotted wood with matching material, and rebuild sashes so they operate the way they did when the house was new. This is slow, careful work, and it’s the kind of job Dale’s crew takes personally, because a historic window that’s done wrong is worse than one left alone.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement

We’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two names you’ll hear most often when Miami-Dade impact ratings come up. PGT’s WinGuard line is a staple in Palmetto Bay because it carries the HVHZ certification that the building department wants to see, and we’ve installed enough of it to know exactly how the frames bed, seal, and drain. CGI’s product comes out of the commercial impact world, and we respect the way their frames overbuild at the corners - that matters when a hurricane is flexing your house.

We also work regularly with ES Windows, which makes a higher-end aluminum line that shows up in a lot of mid-century and custom homes around the village. Whether you have PGT, CGI, ES Windows, or any other make, we can service it. If you’ve got a brand we haven’t mentioned, ask us - chances are we’ve either installed it or we know exactly what it takes to replace it correctly. And if you’re comparing brands for a new project, ask us to walk you through manufacturer lines side by side on paper. That’s part of The Keystone Standard, and we don’t charge for it.

Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now

• Condensation between the glass panes. This means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The window is no longer doing its thermal job, and the fog will never clear on its own. Once the seal is gone, the only real fix is replacing the sash or the entire unit.
• Frames that are soft, swollen, or crumbling at the corners. In Palmetto Bay’s humidity and salt air, wood and even some older composites break down over time. Soft corners mean water is already inside the frame, and what you’re seeing is the visible part of damage that’s usually worse behind the trim.
• Cranks, locks, or sashes that bind or jam. A window that won’t open or won’t lock is both a comfort problem and a security problem. If the hardware is worn past the point of a repair, replacement is the honest answer - especially on bedrooms where egress matters in an emergency.
• Drafts or hot spots near closed windows. Walk past the window on a hot afternoon and you can feel the heat radiating through. That’s failing seals, failing frames, or single-pane glass doing what single-pane glass has always done. Replacing the unit changes the indoor temperature measurably.
• Windows that rattle in wind or leak during storms. Palmetto Bay sits close enough to the coast that every hurricane season is a real test. A window that rattles has play in the frame, and a window that leaks has failed flashing or seals. Both are signs the window is no longer protecting the house the way it should.

Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step

Here’s how a window replacement with TruePane actually goes, from the first phone call to the last cleanup. No mystery, no finding out midway that something changed.

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. When you dial (386) 200-9224, a live human picks up - 24 hours a day, every day. We take down what you’re seeing, what the windows are doing, and set a time that works. Nobody routes you through a voicemail tree or a callback form.
2. 2
   We measure every opening twice. A uniformed, background-checked technician arrives at the scheduled time. Every opening gets measured twice, the existing installation gets inspected for hidden damage, and we talk through what we’re seeing as we see it. You’re not waiting on a report - you’re watching the assessment happen.
3. 3
   We write the quote on paper, side by side. You get line-item pricing for the options that fit your home - manufacturer lines compared side by side, glass packages explained in plain language, no vague allowances. The number we quote is the number on the bill. No change orders unless you ask for a change.
4. 4
   We install, and we register both warranty layers before we leave. The old windows come out, the new ones go in level and square, and the openings get flashed and sealed properly. Before the truck leaves your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with their durations stated. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s non-negotiable.
5. 5
   We walk the job with you, then we stand behind it. You see the finished work before we call it done. If anything’s off, we fix it - covered by the Done Right Promise, no paperwork fights and no arguing. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the rule on Dale’s whiteboard, and it applies to every install.
