If you live in Seaside and your windows are original to the house, there’s a good chance they’re single-pane aluminum frames that have spent fifty-plus years in Monterey Bay’s salt air. That’s the reality of our local housing stock, and it’s the reason most of the work we do here is full replacement rather than repair. When you call TruePane Windows & Doors at (888) 635-0804, you reach a live person who knows Seaside’s streets, its fog patterns, and its particular window problems. We don’t route calls through a regional center, and we don’t ask you to leave a message.
The homes we work on along Noche Buena Street, Hilby Avenue, and the duplex rows near Fremont Boulevard were built for a different era. Fort Ord families needed affordable housing quickly, and the builders used what was fast and cheap: aluminum frames, jalousie louvers, and thin glass that was never meant to last this long. It has lasted, technically, but it’s been failing slowly for decades. That’s what we fix.

Why Seaside Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Our company was founded by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who built TruePane on a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters more in Seaside than almost anywhere else we work, because the margin for error is thinner when the original opening has settled, the frame has corroded, and the fog is waiting to test every seal. Homeowners in the 93955 ZIP call us because they’ve seen what happens when a window is set out of square and the warranty paperwork never gets registered. They want it done once, in writing.
We serve the neighborhoods around General Jim Moore Boulevard and the streets east of Canyon Del Rey without treating Seaside like a satellite stop. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before a quote goes on paper. We register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway, and our Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right without a paperwork fight.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Seaside
Window Installation
New window installation in Seaside means working with rough openings that have settled and shifted over sixty or seventy years. We shim, square, and seal each unit to the true opening, not the builder’s original mistake. Learn more about our Window Installation in Seaside.
Door Installation
Entry doors in Seaside’s tract homes often bind in summer and leak fog-damp air in winter because the original frames were never flashed correctly. We install doors that latch cleanly on the first try and stay square through the seasons. Learn more about our Door Installation in Seaside.
Window Replacement
For most Seaside homes, replacement is the standard job, not the exception. Aluminum frames corroded by salt air and dual-pane seals blown out by humidity are the two most common failures we see here. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Seaside.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors protect against more than wind; they harden the home against forced entry and flying debris. We’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, and we quote them side by side so you see exactly what each line costs.
Energy-Efficient Windows
We won’t oversell you on energy savings in Seaside. Your HVAC barely runs, so the real payoff is comfort, condensation control, and glass that doesn’t fog between the panes. We carry Milgard and Ply Gem lines with low-E coatings suited to coastal humidity.
Sliding & Patio Doors
The sliding doors on Seaside’s 1960s and 1970s ranch-style homes often have worn rollers and aluminum tracks that grind and bind. We replace the entire assembly when the track is beyond repair, which is most of the time.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass railing systems are a growing choice for Seaside homeowners updating decks and stairways. We install tempered, code-compliant glass panels with hardware that holds up to marine air without pitting.
Custom Windows & Doors
When the opening is non-standard, which describes a surprising number of Fort Ord-era homes, we order custom units rather than forcing a stock size into a frame that won’t accept it. The job gets quoted honestly and built to fit.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Seaside
We work throughout the 93955 ZIP, from the older duplex stock near Del Monte Boulevard to the residential streets east of General Jim Moore Boulevard. Typical response time for a Seaside estimate call is within one business day for scheduling, and our technicians arrive prepared with the right flashing, shims, and sealants for coastal conditions.

Why Seaside’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Seaside sits in the thickest part of the Monterey Bay marine fog belt, where salt air and near-constant humidity corrode aluminum frames, destroy dual-pane seals, and rot wood sills at a pace that far exceeds anything inland. The mild temperatures, rarely above 68 degrees, mean energy savings alone rarely motivate homeowners to replace windows. The real driver here is hardware failure: frames pitted and white with corrosion, sashes that no longer close against the weatherstripping, and glass units fogged between the panes.
Add to that the housing stock itself. Seaside’s residential fabric is dominated by post-WWII tract homes and duplexes built in the 1940s through the 1970s for Fort Ord military families. Much of this stock has been held as low-turnover rental property since Fort Ord closed in 1994, so window and door upgrades have been systematically deferred. Jalousie windows, those louvered glass-slat units that can’t be weathersealed against chronic coastal fog, appear with striking frequency in Seaside’s older rental stock. Local contractors see them as the single most common full-replacement call in the 93955 ZIP, a failure mode largely renovated away in Monterey and Pacific Grove but still alive and widespread here.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Seaside
Window and door pricing in Seaside tracks with the work the housing stock actually needs. A straightforward vinyl or aluminum replacement for a standard double-hung typically falls between $600 and $1,100 per window including installation. Full-frame replacement, which is common when the original jalousie or aluminum-frame unit requires reframing the opening, runs $1,200 to $2,400 per opening. Entry door replacement with a factory-finished fiberglass or steel door starts around $1,800 and runs up to $4,000 depending on sidelights and hardware. Sliding patio door replacement runs $2,500 to $5,500 for a two-panel unit. Impact-rated windows from PGT or CGI add 25 to 40 percent over standard glass. Every quote we give is fixed and line-itemed before work starts. Call (888) 635-0804 for an exact number on your specific openings.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Seaside
Standard window replacement in Seaside runs $600 to $1,100 per window including installation, while full-frame replacement on jalousie or corroded aluminum units runs $1,200 to $2,400 per opening. Call (888) 635-0804 for an exact quote; estimates are free and written line by line.
Yes. Jalousie windows are among the most common replacements we handle in the 93955 ZIP. They can’t be weathersealed against coastal fog, so we remove the louvered unit entirely and install a properly flashed fixed or operable window in its place.
No. Our quotes are fixed and line-itemed before the job begins, and we don’t write change orders for conditions a competent installer would have caught during the estimate. The Done Right Promise covers the workmanship after completion.
When the city of Seaside requires a permit for structural changes like reframing an opening or enlarging a rough opening, we pull it. We don’t skip permitting to save time, and we don’t put the homeowner in the position of guessing what the code requires.
Most single-home window replacements in Seaside are completed in one to two days, depending on how many openings are involved and how much reframing the original construction requires. We’ll give you a straight timeline when we walk the job.

What Seaside 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.
