Why Sunset Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane was founded by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who built the company on a rule that is still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters in Sunset, where a window that is out of square by a quarter inch will bind, leak, and fail a county inspection. Homeowners near Sunset Drive and in the streets around Kendale Lakes have called us after previous contractors installed product that never carried a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We fix that the right way.
We have worked extensively in the neighborhoods off Southwest 72nd Street and around the Tamiami Trail corridor. Homeowners there tend to be long-term residents who remember what Sunset looked like twenty years ago and do not want a franchise crew with a rotating cast of subcontractors. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and employed by TruePane. We measure every opening twice. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. And if something is not right within 90 days, we come back and make it right without paperwork or argument.

Why Sunset’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Sunset sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That is not a technicality. Every replacement window and door installed here must carry an active Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval layer separate from the statewide Florida Building Code and more stringent than anything required just across the county line in Broward. A window that is legal in Pembroke Pines can be illegal in Sunset.
The housing stock adds another layer. Sunset’s residential fabric is primarily CBS ranch homes built between the late 1940s and the early 1980s, many still wearing their original jalousie or early aluminum single-pane windows. Those frame openings are often non-standard by today’s codes, which means rough-opening modifications and stucco repair are routine parts of a proper impact retrofit here. Add year-round humidity above 80%, intense UV, and salt air drifting in from Biscayne Bay, and you have a market where seal degradation and frame oxidation happen faster than in almost any other part of the country. Products not rated for South Florida coastal exposure fail early. The wrong contractor learns that after the inspector red-tags the job. Our clients learn it before the quote is written.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Sunset
Window and door pricing in Sunset depends on the opening, the product, and whether the existing frame needs rough-opening work. A straightforward single-window replacement typically runs $900 to $2,400 including labor and materials. Full impact-rated window packages on a three-bedroom CBS ranch commonly fall between $14,000 and $32,000 depending on opening count and product line. Entry door replacement usually lands between $1,800 and $5,500. Sliding patio doors run $2,800 to $7,000. Custom work is quoted per project after we measure.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Sunset
Yes. Sunset is in the HVHZ within unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so any replacement window or door must carry an active Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. We verify NOA status before we quote, and we have seen too many Sunset jobs fail inspection because another contractor sourced product without that certification. Call (386) 854-7948 and we will confirm product approval on the first call.
Jalousie windows came standard on much of Sunset’s CBS housing stock from the 1950s through the 1970s, and many owners have simply lived with them for decades. The problem is that jalousie windows cannot meet current impact standards and they leak air constantly. Replacement requires rough-opening work in most cases. We quote that work as a line item, not a surprise. Call (386) 854-7948 for a free estimate.
In most cases, yes. Florida insurance carriers offer significant wind-mitigation credits for full impact-glass upgrades, and in Sunset’s HVHZ those credits are some of the highest in the state. We provide the documentation your carrier needs after install. The exact discount depends on your policy, so ask your agent before you sign.
A typical three-bedroom CBS ranch in Sunset takes two to four working days for a full window package, with additional time if stucco repair is extensive. We will give you a written schedule before work starts and we keep to it. Call (386) 854-7948 to schedule your estimate.
No. Our quotes are fixed and line-item. The only way the number changes is if you ask for a change in scope, and we will put that change in writing before any additional work begins. No surprise line items on the bill.

What Sunset Customers Say
"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."Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T."Had fog between the panes in four windows. They explained the seals had failed and argon was long gone, replaced the glass units instead of selling me whole windows. Honest outfit."
- Frank D.
