If you own a home in Bonita Springs that still has original single-pane aluminum windows or older sliding glass doors, you’re not alone. Thousands of homes in this city were built between 1980 and 2005, long before Florida’s impact-resistance standards took full effect. Hurricane Ian changed the math for every one of them.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Bonita Springs’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, but the trade runs deeper than that, more than 42 years of community service through Dale’s family line. We’re not a franchise that parachutes in crews from three counties away. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and treat every Bonita Springs job like it’s on our own street, because for a lot of our crew, it is.
Our Impact Windows teams have worked every corner of Bonita Springs, from the 34134 beachside condos to the 34135 corridor along Old 41 and the newer subdivisions off Bonita Grande Drive. We’ve seen what Gulf salt air does to aluminum frames within a decade, and we’ve seen what Ian’s storm surge did to rough openings that had never been touched since the house was framed. That local knowledge means we quote the job correctly the first time, not after we’ve torn out the old window and found structural problems.
Every Bonita Springs job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a call center. You’ll talk to someone who can actually answer a question about design pressure ratings and large-missile testing.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and they don’t leave until the pane is true. That’s the founding rule Dale keeps on the whiteboard, and it governs every install we touch.
Our Impact Windows Services in Bonita Springs
Hurricane Code Compliance Assessment for Post-Ian Rebuilds
Under current Lee County code, even homes miles inland in Bonita Springs must have impact-rated or shutter-protected openings. That’s not a beachfront rule anymore. The Imperial River floodplain proved during Ian that storm surge can reach far past what anyone considered “coastal” in 1990. We walk your home, identify which openings fail current FBC impact requirements, and give you a written list of what must change and what can stay. No scare tactics. Just code, on paper.
Warped Rough Opening Reframing Before Impact Window Set
This is the step window-only contractors skip. Floodwater pressure from Ian racked window jambs and door frames throughout the Imperial River basin, and if you set a new impact unit into a racked opening, the sash binds within a year and the frame cracks. Our crews check every opening for square before any unit goes in. When the rough opening is off, we reframe it. That’s structural work, and it’s why our quotes sometimes run higher than a big-box retrofit number. It’s also why our windows close clean in August.
Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval Documentation for Insurance Credits
After Ian, your insurance company wants proof, not promises. We pull the Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers for every configuration we install and hand you the documentation with your final invoice. When your wind-mitigation inspection comes around, you’ll have what the inspector needs to sign off. That paperwork is worth real money on your windstorm premium, and we don’t leave it to you to chase down a manufacturer’s website.
Full Impact Window and Sliding Glass Door Replacement
We install impact windows throughout Bonita Springs, including single-hung, casement, horizontal roller, and fixed-picture units. We also replace sliding glass doors, which is where a lot of post-Ian rebuilds stall because the original 1980s door was never rated for anything beyond a stiff breeze. PGT, CGI, and CWS are the lines we quote most often in this market, and we’ll show you all three side by side so you can see what each carries and what it costs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Bonita Springs
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and more than a dozen other manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, and ES Windows. For Bonita Springs homes, we quote PGT WinGuard and CGI Sentinel most frequently because both carry Miami-Dade NOA large-missile ratings that satisfy the local AHJ without argument. We don’t push one brand. We show you what each costs, what each rating covers, and let you decide with the numbers in front of you.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Bonita Springs Homes
- Flood-warped rough openings along the Imperial River basin. Ian’s surge racked original 1990s framing out of square, often by 1/4 to 3/8 inch. A new impact window set into that opening will bind at the sash and crack the frame within the first year unless the opening is reframed first.
- Products with Florida Product Approval but no Miami-Dade NOA. Some contractors quote a cheaper unit that technically meets state code but fails the local AHJ’s requirement for HVHZ-rated glazing. The rough inspection fails, the window gets re-ordered, and you eat the delay. We check the rating before we quote, not after.
- Pitted and seized aluminum frames from Gulf salt air. Homes never upgraded from original 1980s jalousie windows or aluminum sliding doors are the worst hit. Coastal salt pits the frames within ten years, and by the time you notice, the tracks are too far gone to service. Replacement is the fix.
- Original sliding glass doors treated as an afterthought. Homeowners replace windows but keep the 1980s sliding door, which is usually the largest unprotected opening in the house. In a storm, it’s also the most likely to fail. We routinely quote full opening-and-door packages for this reason.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Bonita Springs, FL
Straight numbers: a standard impact single-hung in Bonita Springs runs $900 to $1,800 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, and whether the opening needs reframing. Fixed-picture impact windows come in lower, typically $800 to $1,200. Large or custom openings, including big sliding glass door replacements, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and climb past $25,000 for larger houses with custom openings. The single biggest cost driver in this market is whether your rough openings survived Ian square. If your home flooded, budget for reframing on at least some openings.
Call (239) 323-5522 and we’ll measure every opening, check for rack, and hand you a written, line-item quote. The estimate is free. The quote won’t change once work starts unless you change the scope.
What Impact Windows Costs in Bonita Springs
The numbers above are real ranges for this market, not national averages padded for a website. What moves the price in Bonita Springs specifically: opening count, wind zone (the areas along the Imperial River and west of US-41 fall into higher wind-speed zones than the eastern subdivisions), floor height, and frame material, aluminum frames run less than vinyl or thermally broken options, but they need more maintenance in salt air. Large-missile rated glass costs more per square foot than small-missile, and your local AHJ may require it depending on elevation and exposure. A compliant quote includes the product line item, the large-missile rating line item when required, the Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and the permit with inspection. A cheap quote leaves out at least two of those.
We don’t compete with low-ball bid numbers because we won’t leave the line items out. What we offer is a square deal: the full written quote, both warranty layers registered, and no surprise charges on the bill. Schedule a free in-home measure and we’ll show you exactly what the work costs and exactly what you’re paying for.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s real money on the table for Bonita Springs homeowners, and you should know about all of it before you write a check. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows qualify in most cases. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6 to 7 percent off the top. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs $75 to $150), most carriers apply a windstorm-premium credit, commonly around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of your policy. We’ll point you to every program and document the work so you can claim what you’re owed. Final numbers always come from the program or your carrier, not from us, but the paperwork we provide is what those programs ask for.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Bonita Springs
Shutters cost less upfront, and we understand why some homeowners lean that way. But shutters only work if someone is home to hang them, and Ian didn’t exactly send a courtesy call before the surge hit. Impact windows protect your house permanently. No panels in the garage, no 4 a.m. ladder work while the wind picks up, no unprotected sliding door because you ran out of time. For Bonita Springs homeowners planning to stay in their homes for another twenty years, the math favors impact glazing. And unlike shutters, impact windows qualify for the My Safe Florida Home grant and the sales-tax exemption, which narrows the gap considerably. We don’t install shutters, we install permanent protection that’s there when the storm isn’t on the news.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Bonita Springs
It depends on your home’s location and elevation, but many Bonita Springs properties, especially west of I-75 and along the Imperial River basin, fall under local AHJ requirements that call for Miami-Dade NOA-rated glazing rather than basic Florida Product Approval. A careful reading of Lee County code after Ian means some subdivisions that were never considered coastal before 2022 now require HVHZ-rated products. If you’re unsure, we’ll check your specific address against the current wind-zone map before we quote anything. Call (239) 323-5522 and we’ll pull the requirement for your house.
No, not without checking the openings first. Floodwater pressure racks jambs and shifts rough openings, and setting a new impact unit into a warped frame guarantees a bound sash and a cracked frame within a year. Our crews measure every opening for square before ordering units. If yours are off, we reframe the opening as part of the installation. It’s an additional line item, and we’ll show it to you on the quote before any work starts.
Because large-missile rated glazing costs more than small-missile, and a contractor cutting corners will quote the cheaper product and hope the inspector doesn’t catch it. If your local AHJ requires large-missile protection and the unit doesn’t carry it, the rough inspection fails and you re-order at your own expense. Every quote we write lists the required rating per opening, so you’ll see exactly what the code in Bonita Springs demands and what you’re paying to meet it. Call (239) 323-5522 for a quote that won’t hide the line items.
In most cases, yes. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), carriers commonly apply a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of your policy. Impact windows on every opening, including sliding glass doors, usually qualify for the full credit. We provide the Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval documentation your inspector needs, so the paperwork is already in your file. Your carrier sets the final number, but the wind-mitigation inspector’s sign-off is the key, and our documentation gets you there.
You can, but we don’t recommend it. The sliding glass door is usually the largest unprotected opening in the house and the most likely to fail in a storm. Half-protecting a home leaves the weakest point exposed, and your insurance carrier may not apply the full windstorm credit if any large opening remains non-impact. We’ll quote the windows and the doors separately so you can see the numbers, but our honest advice is to protect the whole envelope at once and be done with it. Call (239) 323-5522 to schedule a free measure.
