We’re TruePane Windows & Doors. We install, replace, and service windows and doors throughout Opa-locka, and a live person answers the phone at (386) 977-5410 any hour you call.

Why Opa-locka Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler started this company in 2008 as a second-generation glazier who was tired of watching neighbors pay twice for the same window. The rule he keeps on the whiteboard is simple: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard gets applied the same way whether we’re quoting a sliding glass door in the Magnolia North area or replacing a full run of windows near the Opa-locka Municipal Complex. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, they measure every rough opening twice, and they register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. The Done Right Promise stands behind the workmanship with no fine print and no arguing.

Impact Windows & Doors
Every opening gets a system with a Miami-Dade NOA product approval. That’s not an option in this county; it’s the starting line.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and insulated frames cut cooling costs and make those August afternoons a little quieter indoors.
Sliding & Patio Doors
We replace pitted tracks and bowed frames, and we pay attention to the weep system so water gets out instead of under.
Glass Railing Systems
For balconies, mezzanines, and pool decks, we fabricate and set railings that meet code and look like they belong.
Custom Windows & Doors
When the opening is arched, angled, or just odd, we build to the opening instead of forcing the opening to fit a stock unit.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Opa-locka
Our crews set windows and doors all across this city. We work regularly in Magnolia North, the historic district near Sharazad Boulevard, the residential blocks off NW 27th Avenue, and the neighborhoods around the Opa-locka Executive Airport. Typical arrival is often same-day or next-day for a repair call, and a full replacement estimate is scheduled on your timeline. Call us and we’ll be there when we say.
Why Opa-locka’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Opa-locka is not Hialeah, and the difference shows up in the rough opening. This city was built around Glenn Curtiss’s 1920s Moorish Revival dream, and the surviving historic district is full of horseshoe arches, curved surrounds, and openings that were never a standard rectangle. A stock window from a big-box shelf doesn’t fit those openings, and a stock installer doesn’t know how to make it work without butchering the surrounding masonry. You need custom or semi-custom impact-rated units that carry a Miami-Dade NOA and get fabricated to the actual arc and radius of the opening. That’s the part of the job most contractors in this market never mention. We mention it because we’ve had to fix their attempted fixes.
The housing stock that surrounds the historic core tells a different story. Most Opa-locka homes are 1950s to 1970s concrete block, and many still carry their original single-pane jalousie or thin aluminum-framed windows. Those units were never designed for a hurricane bar. They leak air, they leak water, and they offer almost nothing between your family and flying debris. When we pull them, we frequently find corroded frames and damaged rough openings that require full buck-out and reframing before the new impact unit can go in. A quote that doesn’t include that possibility is not an honest quote. Ours does.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Opa-locka
Yes. Opa-locka sits inside Miami-Dade County’s mandatory impact-protection zone, so every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) product approval. This is stricter than the Florida Building Code used in most other counties, and a unit without an NOA will not pass inspection. Call (386) 977-5410 to find out whether your existing openings are compliant.
Because the housing stock here is mostly 1950s to 1970s CBS construction, and the original single-pane aluminum and jalousie frames have spent decades corroding in this humidity. When we remove them, the rough opening underneath is often rotted, bowed, or out of square. A proper installation bucks out the old frame and rebuilds the opening before the new impact unit is set. Skipping that step is how windows end up leaking within a year. Call (386) 977-5410 and we’ll tell you what your specific openings need.
Yes, and this is an underappreciated benefit in this city. The same PVB interlayer that makes laminated impact glass pass Miami-Dade NOA testing also delivers meaningful STC-rated sound reduction against aircraft noise. Homes in the flight corridors off NW 135th Street and along the airport’s approach paths will hear a real difference. Call (386) 977-5410 for a sound-reduction estimate that’s grounded in actual glass thickness and STC ratings, not guesswork.
Most standard replacement jobs are completed in one day per opening, and a full CBS ranch home can often be finished inside a week. Jobs that require custom fabrication for arched or curved historic openings take longer because the glass is built to the actual radius, not pulled from stock. We’ll give you a written timeline before work starts and we stand behind it. Call (386) 977-5410 for a schedule based on your exact project.
Every job that requires a permit gets one pulled and every inspection gets scheduled, attended, and passed. That’s part of the Keystone Standard. We don’t ask homeowners to pull their own permits or chase inspectors. Call (386) 977-5410 to discuss what your project will require.

What Opa-locka 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."Eleven windows replaced in two days. The crew chief, Marcus, showed me the level on every single frame before they caulked it. My wife noticed the street noise was gone before I did."
- Ronald P."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."
