If you live in Clewiston, you already know the two seasons that shape every window and door decision here: hurricane season and cane-burn season. Both put pressure on the openings of your home, and both punish cheap installs or aging frames. TruePane Windows & Doors serves Clewiston with impact-rated, tightly sealed windows and doors built for the Florida Building Code, the lake humidity, and the fine ash that drifts across town from October through April. When you call (888) 635-0804, a live person answers. That’s been our rule since Dale Kessler founded this company, and it holds in Clewiston.
Key takeaways for Clewiston homeowners:
- Impact windows and doors are the flagship install here. They’re permanent protection, no panels to hang, no last-minute scramble when a storm tracks toward Lake Okeechobee.
- Sealed replacement windows do double duty in Clewiston. They block hurricane wind and they keep cane smoke and ash out of your walls and lungs.
- Most of the original window stock in Clewiston’s older homes – single-pane jalousie and aluminum frame – no longer meets Florida Building Code wind ratings and leaks humidity year-round.
- Estimates are free and the price you’re quoted is the price on the bill. A square deal, in writing.

Why Clewiston Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Homeowners in Clewiston tend to ask the same two questions before they schedule: Will you still answer the phone after the job? And will you stand behind the work if something is not right? The answers are yes and yes, and you can get both in writing.
We work throughout Clewiston, from the neat company-era cottages off Sagamore Avenue to the newer subdivisions on the east side of town along US 27. Every technician who walks through the door is background-checked and uniformed. Every opening gets measured twice. Every manufacturer warranty layer gets registered before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s not optional on any job we do, from a single pane to a whole-house window replacement.
Our standing offer matters here: a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. Much of Clewiston’s long-term homeowner base qualifies, and we would rather give the discount than see someone put off a needed impact upgrade because the quote felt high.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Clewiston
Impact Windows & Doors
For Clewiston, this is the priority install. Laminated impact glass, Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, HVHZ compliance where the wind zone requires it, and design pressures matched to each opening. We never spec a unit rated above +/-100 unless the opening genuinely calls for it. Impact windows versus hurricane shutters: shutters only work if someone hangs them. Impact glass works on its own.
Window Installation in Clewiston
Window Installation
We set new windows in existing openings, in new construction, and in the older Clewiston homes where original frames have to be rebuilt square before the new unit goes in. If the opening is not true, the pane will not be true. That rule comes from Dale’s whiteboard and it governs every install.
Learn more about our window installation in Clewiston.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and side gates all take abuse from the lake air and the summer rain. We install doors that close square, seal tight against wind-driven rain, and keep the hardware from corroding within a few years.

Window Replacement
The old jalousie and single-pane aluminum frames common across Clewiston’s housing stock leak air, leak water, and hold years of cane-burn residue in the tracks. Replacing them is the single biggest upgrade you can make to a home’s comfort and energy draw.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glazing and proper sealing cut cooling demand anywhere from 20 to 30 percent in a typical Clewiston home, depending on exposure and existing insulation. When the humidity is relentless and the AC runs hard, that difference shows up on the bill fast.
Learn more about our window installation in Clewiston.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliding glass doors on the lake side of the house face the open fetch of Lake Okeechobee. Wind-driven rain finds any failed gasket or worn threshold. We install sliders and patio doors with pressure ratings and seals that hold against the wind.
Learn more about our door installation in Clewiston.
Glass Railing Systems
For lake-view properties and second-story decks, framed or frameless glass railing keeps sightlines open and meets Florida code. We install railings engineered for coastal wind loads, not a generic kit.

Custom Windows & Doors
Odd openings, historic cottage proportions, or a specific architectural look – custom fabrication runs four to six weeks for units built to your measurements. We measure every opening twice and order exactly what the house needs.

Why Clewiston’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Clewiston sits directly on the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee, and the lake shapes everything about building science here. Year-round humidity amplified by lake evaporation accelerates oxidation and pitting on aluminum window frames. Door hardware corrodes faster than it would in a drier inland market. The lake’s open fetch also drives wind-blown rain harder against your openings during tropical events, which means failed glazing tape or a worn threshold starts leaking water into the wall cavity the first season it goes bad.
Then there is the burn season. From roughly October through April, controlled pre-harvest burns in the surrounding sugarcane fields send fine grey-black ash across the entire town. If your windows and doors have failing seals, that particulate finds its way inside. Local contractors opening up old jalousie frames routinely pull out tracks caked with years of cane-burn residue. It is a signature we see in homes across Clewiston, and it tells us the house has never had a properly sealed replacement window installed. For Clewiston specifically, impact-rated, tightly sealed windows and doors are not just storm protection. They are the only practical barrier against smoke and particulate infiltration that leaves visible residue on sills, screens, and floors.
Much of the older residential stock here – worker cottages and company-era homes built in the 1940s through the 1970s for U.S. Sugar Corporation employees – still carries original single-pane jalousie or aluminum-frame windows. Those provide almost no resistance to humidity, insects, or cane smoke. Newer subdivisions on the outskirts meet the Florida Building Code’s wind-rated opening requirement, but they’re often built to minimum spec, which leaves real room for upgrade on impact glazing and better seals.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Clewiston
Window and door pricing moves with the opening size, the glazing spec, and the frame condition. For a typical Clewiston home, expect a standard impact-rated single-hung replacement to land in the $1,100 to $2,400 range per unit installed, depending on size and design pressure requirements. Sliding impact glass doors commonly fall between $3,500 and $7,500 installed. Non-impact energy-efficient windows run lower, typically $800 to $1,800 per unit.
We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and the number we write down is the number you pay. No change orders, no surprise line items. Discounts stack where they apply: a free written repair estimate, a maintenance check, and a permanent 5% senior or veteran discount.
Florida Pays Clewiston Homeowners Back
The state and federal incentives for upgrading to impact windows and doors are worth knowing before you price a project. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated windows and doors. Florida also applies a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units.
Beyond the direct incentives, many Clewiston homeowners see their windstorm premium drop after a wind-mitigation inspection, with credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of the policy. Those inspections typically run $75 to $150. The exact grant amount, tax treatment, and premium credit depend on the program’s current rules and on your insurance carrier – we can point you to the right resources, but final numbers always come from the state or the carrier.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Clewiston
Clewiston sits in a wind-borne debris region under the Florida Building Code, so new openings must be wind-rated. But just as practically for this town, impact windows with tight seals are the only real defense against cane-burn smoke and ash that clouds the air from October through April and settles as fine grey-black residue inside any home with failing seals.
For an exact quote on impact windows matched to your openings, call (888) 635-0804. Estimates are free.
Most impact-rated single-hung replacements in Clewiston run $1,100 to $2,400 per unit installed, with sliding impact doors typically $3,500 to $7,500 installed. The spread comes from opening size, design pressure requirements, and how square the existing frame is once we open it up.
Call (888) 635-0804 for a line-by-line quote. We put manufacturer options side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.
No. Our pricing is fixed once we write it. The only scenario that changes the quote is if we open a wall and find structural damage that no one could have seen from the outside – and even then, we stop, show you the problem, and get your sign-off in writing before any extra work proceeds.

Yes. We replace jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows regularly throughout Clewiston’s older neighborhoods. The typical job involves rebuilding the opening square, installing a properly sealed replacement unit, and registering the warranty before we leave. Once sealed, those windows stop the cane ash, the bugs, and the humidity the old frames let through for decades.
Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate on replacing jalousie windows anywhere in the 33440 ZIP code. We’ll be there when we say.
For stock-sized impact units, installation can move as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication runs four to six weeks before installation. Either way, we schedule the job for the day our crew shows up, and we finish the work on that schedule unless the weather turns unsafe.

What Clewiston 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."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."Two entry doors. Showed up when they said, second day was a half day like they said, and the painter they recommended confirmed the frames were dead plumb. The financing was explained in actual dollars, not a brochure."
- Janet R.
