Why Melbourne Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but the craft behind it runs far deeper. He is a second-generation glazier, and the rule that names the company still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Homeowners in Melbourne choose us because they have been burned once and are paying close attention this time. They call after a fogged seal, a door that binds in July humidity, or a Miami-Dade wind zone requirement they only learned about when a permit came back flagged. We serve neighborhoods from Lake Washington to Eau Gallie and across to the older ranch streets near Wickham Park. The work is measured twice, quoted on paper side by side across manufacturer lines, and finished with both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Melbourne
Window Installation
We install replacement and new-construction windows sized to the existing rough opening, including masonry openings common in Melbourne’s concrete-block ranch homes. Every unit is set level, insulated, and sealed against the salt air that attacks from both the ocean and the lagoon. Learn more about our Window Installation in Melbourne.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and side-lites get the same treatment: correct rough-opening anchoring, properly shimmed and weather-stripped frames, and hardware that does not fight you in humid weather. A door that binds in July was set out of square; we set doors that swing true. Learn more about our Door Installation in Melbourne.
Window Replacement
When old aluminum jalousies or single-pane casements have corroded past repair, we remove them cleanly, often handling the bonded oxidation that fuses original 1960s frames into concrete block. The replacement is hammer-drilled, anchored, and sealed properly. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Melbourne.
Impact Windows & Doors
This is the flagship line for Melbourne. Laminated impact glass carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, with design pressures matched to each specific opening, never a rating above +/-100. The glass is engineered so a windborne 2×4 at 130 mph does not enter the house.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and insulated frames cut heat transfer through sun-facing glass. Homeowners regularly report 20-30% cooling savings after replacing single-pane units, and outside noise drops by up to 40% with laminated packages.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Rollers, tracks, handles, and full replacements. Melbourne’s brackish lagoon air corrodes sliding-door hardware faster than most people expect, especially on west-facing rear doors. We replace tracks and adjust rollers so the door moves without leaning your shoulder into it.
Glass Railing Systems
Tempered and laminated glass rails for decks, balconies, and pool areas. Framing choices range from low-profile aluminum to stainless, all rated for coastal exposure and built to stay clear in direct sun.
Custom Windows & Doors
When the opening is not standard, the unit gets built to order. Custom fabrication typically runs 4-6 weeks, and installation moves as fast as a single day once the units arrive. We treat custom as the default in older Melbourne homes, not an exception.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Melbourne
Our Melbourne crews cover the city without subbing out work to third-party crews. Most jobs start with a site visit within a few days of your call, and emergency board-up is handled locally.

Why Melbourne’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Melbourne occupies a narrow coastal corridor between the Indian River Lagoon to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. That means virtually every home, not just beachfront property, gets salt-air corrosion from two directions simultaneously. Pair that with the city’s dense stock of 1960s concrete-block ranch homes built during the Kennedy Space Center workforce boom, and you get a very specific pattern: corroded aluminum frames, failed seals, and units that do not meet current Brevard County impact-rated wind-load requirements. Replacing windows in solid concrete block rough openings, the standard throughout the 32901 ZIP, requires masonry skills and specialized anchoring that wood-frame markets rarely demand. Original 1960s aluminum jalousie frames have often oxidized and bonded so deeply into the block that extraction requires hammer-drilling and patching the masonry opening. That scope-of-work surprise is something Melbourne techs build into nearly every pre-1980 quote. An installer working a wood-frame market like Orlando would almost never encounter it.
Which brings up a question worth asking before you sign any contract.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Should Melbourne Homeowners Choose?
Shutters stop windborne debris, but only after someone drags panels out of the garage, lines them up, and bolts them down, usually in the dark as the storm closes in. Impact windows and doors are always in place. They protect the house the moment the glass goes in, and they do not depend on a homeowner being home, being strong enough to hang panels, or being willing to climb a ladder in wind. The Florida Building Code treats impact-rated openings as passive protection. Shutters are active protection. Active protection fails when no one activates it. Passive protection does not fail because it cannot forget.

Florida Pays Melbourne Homeowners Back
The incentives stack in ways that matter. My Safe Florida Home matching grants cover qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades up to $10,000. The state exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax entirely. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), many Melbourne homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We do not guarantee a dollar figure because programs and carriers set the final numbers. But we do register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, state the durations, and hand you the paperwork before the truck leaves.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Melbourne
Do I need impact windows or doors in Melbourne?
Yes, for any replacement permit in most Melbourne wind zones, Brevard County follows the Florida Building Code, which requires impact-rated or otherwise protected openings once you are replacing windows or doors. The wind-speed design requirement in many Melbourne zones runs 130 mph or higher. Call (888) 635-0804 and we will confirm the specific design pressure your opening needs.
What does impact window replacement cost in Melbourne?
Most impact window replacements in Melbourne run between $1,200 and $2,800 per unit installed, with sliding doors from $2,400 to $5,500. The variable is the masonry work, because concrete block rough openings often need hammer-drilling and re-anchoring once the old frame comes out. We quote the full scope on paper before starting. Get a fixed line-item quote by calling (888) 635-0804.
Will my old aluminum jalousie frames damage the concrete when you remove them?
They often do, and we plan for it. Original 1960s aluminum frames frequently oxidize and bond into the block. Extraction can chip the rough opening, which means hammer-drilling and patching masonry before the new anchor screws go in. We include that scope in the written quote when we see it, not as a surprise add-on after demolition.
Do you pull permits for window and door replacement in Melbourne?
Yes. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand behind the work through final approval. That is not an optional add-on; it is how a replacement gets done in Brevard County. Permits also create the paper trail your wind-mitigation inspection needs for premium credits.
How long does installation take once I order?
Standard-size units move as fast as a single day once they arrive. Custom fabrication runs 4-6 weeks because the units are built to the opening, not pulled off a shelf. We will give you the date range in writing. For a specific timeline on your job, call (888) 635-0804.
Contact TruePane Windows & Doors in Melbourne
You have lived in this house long enough to know what a bad install looks like. You remember the contractor who left you with a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. We are not that contractor. Dale Kessler put a rule on the whiteboard when he founded TruePane in 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule still runs the company. We stand behind every install with The Keystone Standard, both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing and durations stated, plus a Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.

What Melbourne 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.
