Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Westwood Lakes

Full-home impact window and door replacement in Westwood Lakes typically runs $1,800-$3,400 per opening, installed, depending on the product line and the condition of the existing rough opening. Most jobs on the 1970s and 1980s CBS ranch homes here take two to three days once the permit clears Miami-Dade’s building department. If the existing jalousie or single-pane aluminum frames are still original, expect the full tear-out and reinstall route, not a pocket replacement.

We know Westwood Lakes because we work here. The homes are concrete block and stucco, the humidity is relentless, and Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules apply to every opening in the house. None of that is new to us.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westwood Lakes’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company

The work we do in Westwood Lakes has to pass a Miami-Dade inspector who checks documentation before he checks the glass. That’s the real test. We pull the permit, we verify every product against the county’s NOA database before we order it, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.

Our Impact Windows & Doors team has lived with the local failure modes for years: corroded aluminum frames from Everglades humidity, pressure-glazed units that carry a Florida Product Approved stamp but no Miami-Dade NOA number, and flashing tape that was never lapped correctly in the first place. A cheap quote that skips the NOA verification step will fail inspection and cost the homeowner a second full installation. We don’t play that game.

Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that names the brand and governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before they leave. When you call, a live person answers. No voicemail tree, no call center, no callback form.

This is the standard we’ve kept since 2008, now run through Westwood Lakes by a crew that treats a customer’s home the way they’d treat their own mother’s.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Westwood Lakes

Most of what we do in Westwood Lakes falls into four categories. Each one has to meet the county’s HVHZ wind-load rules, and each one has to be documented so the inspector can verify compliance on site.

Hurricane Impact Windows

Replacing original single-pane aluminum jalousie or slider windows with impact-rated units is the most common job we run in Westwood Lakes. The older CBS ranches on streets off SW 162nd Ave and along SW 56th St still have their original openings, which means full tear-out down to the concrete block, new buck framing where needed, and an install that meets the 186 mph design wind speed the county’s Windspeed Map assigns to this area. A typical double-hung impact window for a Westwood Lakes ranch runs $1,800-$2,800 per opening installed, and that includes pulling the permit and passing inspection.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

The patio sliders in these 1970s and 1980s homes are usually the leakiest opening in the house. Humidity from the Everglades east fringe gets behind corroded tracks, the rollers bind, and the original tempered glass has no impact rating at all. We replace them with fusion-welded impact sliders that carry a current Miami-Dade NOA and meet the same 186 mph design load as the windows. These run $3,500-$5,500 installed, depending on width and whether the opening needs reframing.

Impact Entry & French Doors

Many Westwood Lakes homes still have hollow-core steel entry doors that predate the post-Andrew mandates. They rack in summer, the weatherstripping rots from ambient humidity, and they’d fail a wind mitigation inspection on day one. We install impact-rated entry doors and French doors with fusion-welded frames and NOA approval, typically $2,800-$5,000 per opening. The door gets checked against the same county NOA database as the windows. No exceptions.

Impact Garage Doors

The garage is the largest opening on a Westwood Lakes home and the one most owners forget until the inspector asks about it. A wind-rated impact garage door with a reinforced track system runs $3,000-$5,500 installed here, and it has to meet Miami-Dade’s design pressure requirements just like a window. We include the door in the permit package and document its NOA approval the same way.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood Lakes

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we keep local parts stock for the brands Westwood Lakes homeowners actually have in their homes: PGT. When you need a sash, a roller, a locking mechanism, or a full replacement unit, we can pull from inventory rather than waiting on a regional warehouse. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see what you’re buying, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Westwood Lakes Homes

• Builder-grade pressure-glazed units without Miami-Dade NOA numbers. A window can carry a Florida Product Approved stamp and still get red-tagged by a Miami-Dade inspector if it lacks a current county-specific NOA number. We’ve seen units installed by crews moving up from Broward jobs that passed their own inspections but failed here. The fix is a full tear-out and reinstall with compliant product.
• Original aluminum frames corroding from Everglades humidity. The constant moisture at the eastern edge of the Everglades oxidizes aluminum frames faster than coastal salt air does. Sash binding and seal failure follow, and an impact glazing unit with a failed seal won’t perform during a storm no matter what the sticker says.
• Failed seals on original hollow-core steel entry doors. We replaced the jalousie windows on a 1978 CBS ranch off SW 162nd Ave and found the existing steel entry door wicking moisture into the jamb through a failed seal. The fix was a fusion-welded frame impact door with NOA approval, and the whole job passed Miami-Dade inspection on the first visit.
• Improper flashing tape at the rough opening. Wind-driven rain gets behind the jamb when the flashing isn’t lapped correctly, rots the furring strips on the CBS block, and voids the NOA warranty. This is a workmanship failure, not a product failure, and it’s one of the main reasons we do our own flashing and never subcontract it.
