Replacing or repairing windows and doors in Ojus means working inside one of the strictest hurricane-code jurisdictions in the country. A standard window off the shelf at a big-box store rarely carries the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance this community requires, and that’s where most bids fall apart before the first permit is pulled. TruePane specializes in Ojus homes built between roughly 1955 and 1975, the CBS construction that still holds original jalousie windows and pre-hurricane-code doors. Call (863) 334-2933 and a live person answers, day or night. We’ll walk you through what your house actually needs, not what’s quickest to quote.

Why Ojus Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Most of our Ojus customers have lived in the same house for twenty or thirty years. They’ve been through at least one replacement before, or inherited windows and doors from the original build. They call us because the last contractor left them with a fogged seal and a patio door that binds every August. We hear that story weekly in neighborhoods like Highland Lakes and along NE 19th Avenue, where the housing stock is dense and the salt air is relentless.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after decades as a second-generation glazier, and the rule on his whiteboard hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. You get side-by-side quotes on paper from manufacturers like Marvin, Milgard, and Simonton. No change orders. No fine print that covers neither.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Ojus
Window Installation
We set new windows in Ojus homes with openings sized for the wall as it exists, not as the blueprint hoped it would be. Rough openings in mid-century CBS are rarely square to modern standards, and we account for that before the first fastener goes in. Learn more about our Window Installation in Ojus.
Door Installation
A door in Ojus has to do three jobs at once: close true, seal against salt air, and meet HVHZ code when it’s on an exterior wall. We install steel, fiberglass, and wood doors with the same measure-twice discipline on the hinge side as the latch side. Learn more about our Door Installation in Ojus.
Window Replacement
The majority of our Ojus work is pulling out original single-pane aluminum and jalousie units that insurers won’t underwrite anymore. We handle the full replacement including permit coordination and the NOA documentation Miami-Dade requires. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Ojus.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact Windows & Doors - Ojus installations are not optional if you want wind coverage to stay in force. We’re an authorized installer for lines including PGT, CGI, and we register every warranty layer before leaving the job. Call us for a written quote that shows exactly which product and rating you’re buying.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows - Ojus installations with Low-E glass do real work here, cutting solar heat gain through windows that face the afternoon sun off the Atlantic a few miles east. We’ll show you the difference between glass packages in plain numbers, not adjectives. Call us for a side-by-side comparison.
Sliding & Patio Doors
We replace and service Sliding & Patio Doors in Ojus and Florida rooms, including the wide openings that bind when the frame shifts. A slider that no longer tracks square is a security problem and an energy leak. Most slider repairs and replacements finish in a single visit.
Glass Railing Systems
Homes on NE 208th Terrace and around Highland Lakes Park often have balconies or second-floor walkouts where Glass Railing Systems in Ojus make sense. We install frameless and semi-frameless systems rated for Miami-Dade wind loads. Ask us for product samples before you commit.
Custom Windows & Doors
Not every Ojus opening is a hardware store size. We order custom-sized units for older CBS walls, arched openings, and the unusual dimensions that come with mid-century construction. The lead time is longer, and we’ll tell you that honestly before work starts.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Ojus
Our crews work throughout Ojus on a regular basis. Typical response time for an estimate visit is within a few business days, and repair calls often get scheduled sooner when the situation is urgent.

Why Ojus’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Ojus sits three to four miles inland from the Atlantic, and the salt air here is not a seasonal nuisance. It is a year-round corrosive. Aluminum window frames and door hardware left unsealed will show pitting and binding inside a decade. UV exposure at this latitude breaks down vinyl frames and weatherstripping noticeably faster than it does in central or northern Florida. We choose materials and finishes for Ojus specifically, and we tell you which products will not hold up here, even if they’re cheaper.
The housing stock compounds the climate problem. Most Ojus homes were built between 1955 and 1975 as CBS construction with original louvered jalousie windows, especially on enclosed Florida rooms and carports. Those jalousies were never designed to keep wind-driven rain out or to satisfy any hurricane standard. Property insurers writing wind coverage in Ojus are now non-renewing homeowners who still have jalousie windows on enclosed Florida rooms. That reality drives a significant share of our retrofit work here, and it means pulling even one permit can trigger full HVHZ compliance on the entire opening. Contractors who work mostly across the Broward county line rarely see this level of scrutiny. We work inside it every week.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Ojus
You can technically comply with Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements using either impact-rated windows or properly anchored hurricane shutters. But insurers writing wind coverage in Ojus increasingly require permanent impact-rated glazing, not just panels, on original jalousie and single-pane openings. Panels only protect what they cover, and they do nothing for wind-driven rain infiltration through old louvered windows. For an exact read on what your policy requires, call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll review your situation. Estimates are free.
Yes. Jalousie-to-impact conversion is one of the most common jobs we perform in Ojus, especially on enclosed Florida rooms and carport walls where the louvers were never touched. The opening gets reframed to accept a properly sized impact unit, and the work requires full HVHZ compliance documentation including the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate on your specific Florida room.
A Miami-Dade NOA is a product certification proving a specific window or door model passed the county’s own wind and impact testing, which is stricter than the Florida Building Code baseline. In Ojus, which falls entirely within the HVHZ, every window and door replacement must carry an NOA. Most national window brands sold off the shelf cannot meet this standard. We quote only NOA-rated products for Ojus installations and include the documentation in your paperwork.
Ojus sits three to four miles inland, but prevailing Atlantic winds carry enough salt aerosol to attack bare aluminum within a decade. The corrosion shows up first as pitting around the weep holes and binding at the corners, then progresses to failed seals and hardware that no longer latches. We specify powder-coated or marine-finish hardware and sealed frame packages for Ojus work, and we will tell you which finishes cannot survive this environment. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll inspect what’s on your house now.
No. We quote line-item pricing in writing after measuring every opening twice, and we treat that number as the number. The only legitimate reason a price would change is if you change the scope, like adding a window or moving a door. We have built our Ojus reputation on exactly that square deal. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll put your estimate in writing before any commitment.

What Ojus 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."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.
