If your windows fog between the panes or your front door binds against the jamb every humid afternoon, you already know Richmond West demands more from a window and door than most of Florida does.

Most window and door work in Richmond West comes down to one question: will the unit stay square and sealed through the next storm season, or will you be calling someone back in eighteen months? We build our reputation on the first answer. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that still names it: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every Impact Windows & Doors in Richmond West we install, every patio door we shim, and every warranty we register in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.

Why Richmond West Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Richmond West is a community where people stay. The one- and two-story CBS homes along SW 152nd Avenue and the quieter cul-de-sacs off SW 117th Street were built by folks who intended to put down roots, and many of those original owners still live there. That’s our customer. Homeowners who remember Andrew, who had a tarp on the roof in August 1992, and who want a window company that will still answer the phone in twenty years if a seal fails.
We’ve built our local reputation in neighborhoods like Bonita Lakes and the streets around Arvida’s Richmond West development by doing the small things other crews skip. Technicians measure every opening twice, before ordering and before installation. Quotes list manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with warranty durations stated, so you see exactly what you’re buying. Technicians are background-checked and uniformed. When we say we’ll be there at eight, we’re there at eight. That’s how a company earns repeat work from the same families for two generations.
And we stand behind the work in writing. Every job carries our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no fine print that covers neither of us. You’ll also get The Keystone Standard, which means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered before we leave, with the durations written on your paperwork. Not a verbal assurance. A written record.

Impact Windows & Doors
Richmond West sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every impact unit we supply carries a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We’re an authorized installer for lines including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we quote them side by side so you can compare ratings and prices honestly.
We register both warranty layers before leaving your driveway. No exceptions.
Energy-Efficient Windows
With Everglades humidity pressing on this side of the county, glass selection matters. We install Energy-Efficient Windows in Richmond West with low-E coated units and insulated frames that cut heat gain without turning your living room into a dark box. You’ll feel the difference in your electric bill before summer ends.

Sliding & Patio Doors
Pre-Andrew homes in Richmond West often have single-track aluminum sliders that have corroded into the rough opening from decades of trapped moisture. We remove them carefully, repair the masonry, and install new Sliding & Patio Doors in Richmond West with rollers, tracks, and panels that glide without binding.
Most patio door replacements finish in a single visit.
Glass Railing Systems
For homeowners with a patio or second-story terrace overlooking the lake or the greenbelt, Glass Railing Systems in Richmond West preserve the view while meeting current safety code. We fabricate and install custom railings with stainless hardware that won’t corrode in Richmond West humidity.
Every railing job includes the same Done Right Promise that covers the rest of our work.
Custom Windows & Doors
When an opening is non-standard, a standard unit won’t do. We order custom sizes and shapes, including arched transoms and oversized sliders, and install them with the same anchoring standards as any code-reviewed impact unit.
Bring us the measurements and the look you want. We’ll tell you straight whether it can be built and what it costs.

Why Richmond West’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Richmond West sits at the far western edge of the Miami-Dade suburban grid, with no natural windbreak between your front door and the Everglades. During the near-daily afternoon convective storms from late spring through early fall, wind pressure loads on windows and doors run higher here than in neighborhoods closer to US-1. A unit that barely passes code in Kendall may not hold up out here.
Then there’s the housing stock itself. Richmond West is a community split in two by Andrew. Homes built before 1992, particularly the original CBS structures with single-pane aluminum sliders and hollow-core fiberglass doors, often need masonry remediation before any new impact window can anchor properly. Homes rebuilt after Andrew tend to have newer frames, but not always better installation. We regularly find post-Andrew repairs where the original contractor caulked over rotted jambs instead of replacing them. That’s the kind of thing we find because we look.
The other factor is moisture. Everglades-driven humidity accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames faster than salt air does in coastal towns. A window that looks fine from the living room can be bonded to the rough opening with thirty years of trapped condensation. Removing it without cracking the surrounding block takes practice and patience. Our installers have both, and they’ve earned their stripes on Richmond West homes specifically.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Richmond West
Here’s what we tell homeowners when they call. Prices in Richmond West run slightly higher than in points north because of the HVHZ code requirements, which is not a markup; it’s the cost of a unit that will actually pass inspection. For a standard impact window replacement, most Richmond West jobs fall between $900 and $1,600 per opening, installed. Impact entry doors typically run $2,500 to $5,500 depending on material and glass package. A full patio slider replacement starts around $3,200 and can reach $7,000 for oversized custom units. These are honest ranges, not bait numbers.
Every quote is line-item, in writing, before any work begins. We don’t change the price mid-job. Call (448) 428-7290 for a free estimate and we’ll put numbers on paper for you, side by side across the manufacturer lines you’re considering.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Richmond West
Most impact window replacements in Richmond West run between $900 and $1,600 per opening installed, depending on size, manufacturer, and whether masonry remediation is needed. Homes with pre-Andrew aluminum sliders bonded into the rough opening sometimes require additional opening repair before new units can be set, which adds labor but prevents failures during inspection. Call (448) 428-7290 for an exact line-item quote on your specific windows; estimates are free and we never change the price after the contract is signed.
Yes, you do. Richmond West is inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Miami-Dade County requires every replacement window and door to carry a current Notice of Acceptance. That approval is what allows an inspector to sign off on the work. We only supply NOA-approved units from manufacturers like PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we finish the job. Without that approval, you’re paying for a window that won’t pass inspection and won’t protect your house in a storm.
No. We quote a fixed price after we measure, and that’s the price on the bill. The only exception is if we open a wall and find structural damage no one could have seen from the outside, and in that case we stop work and get your approval before doing anything. No surprise line items. No change orders you didn’t sign. That’s been TruePane’s practice since Dale Kessler started the company, and it’s the same in Richmond West as everywhere else we work.
Most standard window replacements are completed in a single day per opening, and most door replacements finish in a single visit. Larger jobs, like a full patio slider swap or whole-home window replacement, may take two to three days depending on how many openings are involved and how much masonry remediation the old frames require. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in writing when we quote the job, and we stick to it.
Yes, we pull permits where Miami-Dade County requires them, and we’re familiar with the inspection process in this specific jurisdiction. If a job needs a permit, it’s part of the contract, not an add-on we mention later. We don’t cut corners on the paperwork any more than we cut corners on the anchoring. Call (448) 428-7290 and we’ll tell you whether your specific job needs a permit and how long the inspection typically takes out here.

What Richmond West Customers Say
"Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A."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."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L.
