AfterWindows & Doors Services in Iona, FL
If you own a home in Iona, you already know the pattern. The window that worked fine before Hurricane Ian now leaks during a hard afternoon rain. The sliding glass door facing the Caloosahatchee estuary side has started binding in its track. The front entry door swells in July and will not latch without a shoulder. These are not small annoyances here. They are the slow accumulation of salt air, pre-1992 building code, and one catastrophic storm season. We fix them right, and we fix them once.
Our crews work Iona neighborhoods every week, from Glover Lane to Water’s Edge, from the communities off McGregor Boulevard down to the canals near Bunche Beach. A live person answers when you call, and we will schedule a time and be there. Call (239) 323-5522 for a free estimate on any window or door.

Why Iona Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That principle runs through every install we do in Iona, and it is one reason homeowners in Tidewater and Cypress Landing keep our number in the drawer next to the telephone.
We are not a franchise operation. We are a second-generation glazier’s shop with over 42 years of community heritage, and we work like a company that intends to be here in thirty years. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before a quote is written. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Every job is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, durations stated, no paperwork fights, no arguing.
Iona homeowners have told us the same thing for years: they would rather pay once for a square deal than pay three times for someone else’s shortcuts. That is the customer we built this company for.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Iona
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship of what we do in Iona. Laminated impact glass in tested assemblies, Florida Product Approval per configuration, and design pressures matched to each opening. Never a rating above +/-100 PSF, because that number is not a bragging point. It is an engineering fact. We never sell hurricane shutters, but we are glad to explain the difference: impact protection that is already in place, no panels to pull out of the garage in September. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Iona.
Window Installation
New construction, full frame-out, or retrofit into existing openings. We pull permits, pass inspections, and register both warranty layers in writing. Learn more about our Window Installation in Iona.
Window Replacement
We replace pre-1992 aluminum and jalousie windows with code-compliant, impact-rated units. Usually a single-day job once your units arrive. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Iona.
Door Installation
Entry doors, outswing and inswing, that close plumb and latch without a fight. We handle marine-grade hardware for Iona’s salty air.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Replacement sliders sized to your existing opening, with impact-rated options for east and west exposures.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and insulated glass units that hold cooling inside. Most Iona homeowners see 20 to 30 percent better cooling efficiency after a full replacement.
Impact Garage Doors
Rated garage doors are required for the same wind-load reasons as windows. We install them to Lee County code.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Round tops, trapezoids, transoms. We order them to spec and set them true.
Roof Repair
Storm repairs and leak work for shingle, tile, and metal roofs across Iona. Hard afternoon storms find roof weaknesses fast.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full replacements with pull permits and inspections. We walk the roof with you before the quote.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
All three roof types for Iona homes, with wind-load compliance for Lee County requirements.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Iona
We work every week in Iona neighborhoods from Water’s Edge and Tidewater to Cypress Landing and the canal homes near Bunche Beach. When you call, we schedule a visit and we show up. Typical first-visit scheduling in Iona runs a few business days for estimates; installation timing depends on your unit lead time.

Why Iona’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Two things make Iona harder on windows and doors than almost anywhere else in the county. The first is the salt. Iona sits between the Caloosahatchee River estuary and the Gulf, and the air carries enough salt and humidity to corrode aluminum extrusions, degrade glazing seals, and oxidize door hardware years before the same units would show wear inland. Any new window or door in Iona should wear marine-grade or PVD-coated hardware and carry a coastal DP rating for salt-spray exposure. We specify for that from the first quote.
The second is the age of the housing stock. Most Iona homes are concrete block structures built from the late 1960s through the early 1990s. They still carry original double-hung or jalousie aluminum windows and outswing entry doors installed before Florida tightened impact requirements after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. That pre-code inventory is exactly what insurers now refuse to renew, and it is exactly what we replace. And after Hurricane Ian, we found something unique in Iona: older impact-resistant windows installed in the 1990s and early 2000s routinely failed their NOA product approvals under current Lee County permitting review. That means a full frame-out replacement instead of a simple sash swap. If you have heard the phrase “grandfathered product” from a contractor, this is what it means, and we deal with it regularly here.

Florida Pays Iona Homeowners Back
If you live in Iona and you are replacing windows or doors, Florida and the federal government have incentive programs you should know about. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. The state has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, typically $75 to $150, many homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging about 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we walk you through the paperwork without promising what we cannot control.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Iona
For any replacement opening in Iona, Lee County will require Florida Building Code wind-load compliance. Single-pane aluminum sliders and hollow-core doors are not code-compliant replacements here. Only impact-rated insulated glass units in tested assemblies with Florida Product Approval will pass permit review. Call (239) 323-5522 and we will check your home’s current compliance before you commit to anything.
Most Iona impact window replacements run $1,100 to $2,800 per opening, depending on size, DP rating, and frame type. Your exact number depends on your opening sizes and the manufacturer line you choose. We write it all down side by side before you decide.
No. We quote line items and we honor them. A change order only happens if you ask for a scope change, in writing. You will have that in writing before work begins.
We pull all permits, schedule inspections, and pass them before we consider a job done. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it is not right, we make it right, no arguing.
Once your units arrive, most Iona window replacements are done as fast as a single day. Custom fabrication typically runs four to six weeks from order to install. We will tell you your lead time in writing when we quote.
It is the salt. Iona’s coastal air corrodes frames and oxidizes hardware faster than inland Lee County. If a unit is not specified with marine-grade or PVD-coated hardware and a coastal DP rating, it will not last. That is a specification issue, not a maintenance issue, and it is one we correct at the point of install.
Key Takeaways
- Iona is a Hurricane Ian ground-zero corridor; replacements must meet current Lee County wind-load code.
- Pre-1992 housing stock is the primary driver of replacement demand, and insurers increasingly refuse to renew without compliant openings.
- Salt and humidity in Iona require marine-grade hardware and coastal-rated units, or the next replacement comes early.
- The “grandfathered product” trap after Ian means older impact windows often fail today’s NOA review and need full frame-out replacement.
- TruePane quotes line-item prices, registers both warranty layers in writing before leaving, and stands behind the 90-Day Done Right Promise.

What Iona Customers Say
"A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G."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."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.
