AfterTrusted Window Replacement for Homestead Homeowners
Window replacement in Homestead, FL typically costs between $600 and $1,800 per window installed, with most full-home projects landing between $9,000 and $24,000 depending on window count, frame material, and glass package. We complete most single-floor replacements in one to two days, and impact-rated work for hurricane code runs a bit longer.

Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 after watching too many Homestead families get sold windows that leaked, fogged, or failed the first time a summer storm rolled through. We do the work differently. Every install is measured twice, quoted on paper with manufacturer lines side by side, and backed by our Done Right Promise in writing. Call (448) 428-7290 and a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a call center in another state. A person who knows windows and knows Homestead.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Replacement in Homestead
Window replacement is the removal of your existing window units and installation of new, code-compliant windows in the same openings. It covers everything from swapping a single failed unit to a full-home replacement with impact-rated or energy-efficient glass. In Homestead, replacement work must meet Miami-Dade County wind-load requirements, which is something we handle every week.
Most single-story Homestead homes are done in one to two working days with a standard vinyl or aluminum replacement. Impact-rated installations, second-story work, and full-frame replacements that involve stucco repair typically run three to five days. We set the schedule clearly before we start and we do not leave a job half-finished without telling you exactly when we will be back. Call (448) 428-7290 and we will give you an honest timeline for your specific house.
A mid-range vinyl insert window in Homestead runs $600 to $900 per unit installed. Full-frame replacement runs higher, often $1,000 to $1,400 per opening depending on trim, stucco, and interior casing work. Impact-rated windows required for hurricane protection run $1,200 to $1,800 per unit, sometimes more if you choose a specific manufacturer line. The exact number depends on window size, frame material, glass package, and how many units you are doing at once, and our written estimates are free.
Yes. TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. We quote these lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying and what each one costs. If you have another make, we can typically service or replace it as well. Call (448) 428-7290 and tell us what is in the house now.
If a window is broken due to storm damage, a break-in, or an accident, we treat it as urgent and get a technician out to board, secure, and measure the opening. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and will schedule the earliest possible replacement. After a hurricane or severe storm, demand in Homestead is high, so call as soon as you can.
Every TruePane job carries our Done Right Promise: if the window is not installed correctly, we come back and fix it, no paperwork fights and no arguing. Beyond that, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway and give you the durations and coverage terms in plain English. The Keystone Standard means you never have to guess what is covered. Call us at (448) 428-7290 for details on the specific window line you are considering.
Clear a working path around each window, move furniture back about three feet, and take down curtains or blinds. We cover floors, protect landscaping near the work area, and clean up everything including old caulk, glass, and hardware before we leave each day. For exterior work, please unlock any side gates and let us know if there are pets or security systems we need to work around. Call (448) 428-7290 if you have questions about a specific room.
Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now
- Fogged glass or condensation between panes: When the seal on a double-pane unit fails, moisture works its way inside and the glass fogs up. The window has lost its insulating gas and is doing very little for your electric bill. Homestead humidity will only make it worse.
- Drafts you can feel from across the room: Stand near the window on a windy day and hold your hand along the frame. If air is moving, your air conditioning is leaking out. Older Homestead homes with original single-pane aluminum frames are the worst offenders.
- Frames that are soft, swollen, or rotted: Wood frames in South Florida do not last forever. Termites, moisture, and decades of heat take their toll. If you can press a screwdriver into the sill, the frame has failed structurally and a simple caulk job is not going to fix it.
- Windows that stick, jam, or will not lock: In Homestead, a window that will not lock is a security problem and a code issue. If it takes two hands and a hip to open or close the window, the sash or the frame has shifted. Replacement is usually the straight-line fix.
- Single-pane glass installed before Hurricane Andrew: Homes in Homestead built before 1992 often have original single-pane windows that would not survive a serious storm. If your windows predate Andrew, upgrading to impact-rated glass is worth considering even if they still look fine. The code changed for good reason, and we can help you check what you have.
What Our Window Replacement Service Includes
Full Frame Replacement
Full Frame Replacement means we remove the entire existing window down to the rough opening, including the frame, trim, and casing. You need this when the frame itself is rotted, out of square, or no longer structurally sound, and a simple insert will not do. In Homestead homes that have been through a few hurricane seasons, we regularly find sill damage that only shows up once the old window comes out. TruePane handles everything from stucco repair to new interior casing, so when we leave, the wall looks finished and the opening is sealed tight.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert Window Replacement, sometimes called a pocket replacement, fits a new window unit inside your existing frame. It is the right call when the frame is still solid and square, and it saves money because there is less demolition and finish work. We measure every opening twice and order the insert to the exact dimensions of the existing frame, not a generic size. The result is a clean, tight fit that looks right from the street and seals correctly from day one.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm window replacement means upgrading to impact-rated units that meet Miami-Dade County code for wind-borne debris protection, like CGI or PGT lines. In Homestead, this is not a luxury, it is a matter of protecting your house and family when the next storm comes. We install impact windows with the proper anchor systems and document the installation so your insurance company has the proof it needs. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before we leave your driveway, and the work is covered by our Done Right Promise.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
An Energy-Efficient Upgrade replaces old single-pane or failed double-pane units with low-E coated, argon-filled glass that cuts heat gain and lowers your electric bill. This is the most common upgrade we do for Homestead homeowners who are tired of running the air conditioner around the clock from May to October. We quote different glass packages side by side on paper so you can see the actual price difference and make a decision you understand. The savings on your FPL bill start the month the windows go in.
Historic Window Restoration
Some older Homestead homes have windows worth keeping, and in those cases, Historic Window Restoration is the better route than replacement. We can rebuild sashes, replace broken glass, restore original hardware, and re-putty and repaint frames to original condition. It is slower work than swapping a vinyl insert, but for a historic home, it is the right kind of work. Dale Kessler apprenticed on these older houses and still enjoys bringing a 60-year-old window back to life.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement
We are an authorized installer for CGI and PGT, two of the impact-rated manufacturers most requested in Homestead and the surrounding South Miami-Dade area. CGI specializes in heavy-duty hurricane windows that hold up to Miami-Dade’s strict wind-load testing, and we have installed them on homes from Redland to Homestead Base. PGT carries a broad lineup from entry-level impact to custom architectural lines, and we stock their most common hardware so service calls do not turn into waiting games.
We also work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for homeowners who want a custom look or an energy-efficient package without paying a premium for a name they have seen on television. ES Windows makes a solid, attractive aluminum frame that performs well in coastal climates, and ECO Window Systems is a strong value line for full-home replacements on a budget. Whether you have one of these brands already or you are comparing them for the first time, we can quote them side by side on paper in your home so you see exactly what you are buying.
Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call and speak with a person: When you call (448) 428-7290, a live person answers, not a voicemail system. We take down your address, ask what your windows are doing, and schedule a time to come out and look. No forms, no callbacks, no waiting on hold.
- 2
We measure and quote on site: Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and measures every opening twice. We bring manufacturer samples and quote the lines you are interested in side by side on paper. The quote you get is the price you pay unless the opening turns out to be structurally different than measured, and we will tell you that before any work starts.
- 3
We order the windows and schedule your install: Once you approve the quote, we order the exact units from the manufacturer and set an install date. We tell you up front how long the job will take and what time we will arrive. If anything changes on the manufacturer side, you hear it from us first.
- 4
We install and weather-seal the openings: The old windows come out carefully, the openings get cleaned and inspected, and the new units go in level, plumb, and square. We use backer rod and sealant that holds up in South Florida heat and humidity, and we pay attention to the details you will see every day: flush trim, consistent reveals, clean lines. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 5
We register your warranties and clean up: Before the truck leaves your driveway, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the documentation with durations stated clearly. We run a magnet over the ground to pick up stray screws and nails, haul away the old windows and debris, and walk you through the work before we leave. Then our Done Right Promise starts, and it covers exactly what it says.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Homestead?
A typical insert window replacement in Homestead runs $600 to $900 per window for a mid-range vinyl unit from a reputable manufacturer. Full-frame replacement runs $1,000 to $1,400 per opening because it involves more demolition, stucco repair, and finish work. Impact-rated windows, which many Homestead homeowners choose for hurricane protection and insurance discounts, run $1,200 to $1,800 per unit, more for larger custom openings. A full-home job on a three-bedroom ranch typically lands between $12,000 and $20,000 all in.
Several things move the price: the number of windows, the frame material you choose, whether you go with clear glass or low-E coated glass, and whether you need impact-rated units. Larger openings, second-story work, and rotted framing discovered during removal all add time and material. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written line-item quote that separates material from labor and tells you exactly what you are getting. Our free estimates include all of this, plus both warranty layers registered in writing with the durations stated.
