Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Kendall
Impact windows and doors in Kendall run $900-$2,800 per opening installed, with sliding glass doors typically landing between $3,200 and $7,500 depending on size and NOA-rated product line. Most full-home replacements in this part of Miami-Dade take two to four days once materials clear the manufacturer. If you’re in Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, or anywhere along Kendall Drive and you want a written line-item quote with both warranty layers registered before the truck leaves, call (954) 507-3613. We’ve been setting impact-rated openings in Kendall long enough to know which homes still carry the wrong compliance sticker, and we’ll tell you plainly whether yours does.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
TruePane Windows & Doors is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded this company in 2008 on a rule that has not changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Dale’s crews walk Kendall job sites with the same habit they’d bring to their own mother’s house: measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before leaving the driveway. That last part matters more in Kendall than almost anywhere else in Florida, because the Miami-Dade NOA requirement means paperwork errors are not a minor annoyance. They’re a failed re-inspection waiting to surface at sale or re-roof.
Kendall homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail tree. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. We carry a Done Right Promise on every job, backed by The Keystone Standard. If something is not right, we make it right, no arguing. Homeowners who’ve been burned once by a contractor who fogged a seal and vanished tend to notice the difference.
Our Impact Windows & Doors team knows that Kendall is not a generic Miami suburb. The homes here carry a very specific compliance burden, and our local crews read the stickers on your existing frames before they ever quote a replacement. That’s not a sales tactic. It’s the only way to quote honestly in the HVHZ.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Kendall
Hurricane Impact Windows
A full retrofit impact window in Kendall typically runs $900 to $2,200 per opening for standard sizes in concrete block. Larger fixed picture windows or custom shapes in mid-1990s rebuilds around The Hammocks can push past $2,800. Every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance sticker, which is the only compliance path that survives HVHZ re-inspection when you sell. If your current windows carry only a Florida Product Approval number, we’ll tell you during the estimate, because that changes the scope from a swap to a tearout.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors in Kendall start around $3,200 for a standard 8-foot opening and climb to $7,500 or more for multi-panel units with low-E laminated glass. Homes built before Andrew, especially in Kendale Lakes and older sections west of the Palmetto Expressway, often still have original single-pane aluminum sliders with oxidized frames. Those are the first thing we replace. The old sashes stop sealing, wind-driven rain gets past the sill pan, and the only honest fix is a full opening replacement with fusion-welded vinyl or aluminum and new flashing tape at the rough opening.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Impact-rated entry doors and French doors in Kendall run $2,000 to $5,500 installed, with pricing driven by swing, size, and whether you choose a CGI, CWS, or ES Windows product line. Many Kendall homeowners wait until an existing French door binds in July, which is a sign the frame has shifted in concrete block. We re-set the jamb and re-flash every opening, because a square frame is the only thing standing between your living room and a wind-driven summer storm.

Impact Garage Doors
We install and replace impact-rated garage doors for Kendall homes, with most single-bay replacements running $1,800 to $4,200 and double-bay units between $3,500 and $7,000. Garage doors are often the weakest opening on a CBS home, and Kendall’s older subdivisions were built in an era when a non-rated door was the builder standard. We set doors with Miami-Dade NOA compliance and wind-load ratings matched to your specific exposure along Kendall Drive or Snapper Creek.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Kendall we regularly quote CGI, CWS, and ES Windows side by side on paper so you can see the exact difference in glass package, frame construction, and warranty duration before you spend a dollar. We stock common replacement parts for these lines locally, which means a service call in Kendall is less likely to get held up waiting on a shipping container. The Keystone Standard applies to every brand we set: both warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Oxidized builder-grade aluminum frames from the 1980s. The master-planned communities that boomed along Kendall Drive in the mid-1980s used single-pane aluminum frames that now show white powder corrosion and lose their structural bite. Once the sash stops seating, wind-driven rain gets past the sill pan and the only fix is replacement.
- Post-Andrew impact windows aging out at 30 years. Units installed during the mid-1990s rebuild are now hitting the point where insulated glass seals fail and laminated interlayers delaminate. If you’re seeing fog between the panes in a home around The Hammocks or Kendale Lakes, the argon is gone and the impact rating is no longer something we’d stake a warranty on.
- Florida Product Approval-only units that fail HVHZ re-inspection. Contractors in the 1990s sometimes installed cheaper Florida-only-approved products in Kendall. Those units cannot pass current Miami-Dade re-inspection at sale or re-roof. The missing NOA sticker turns a simple replacement into a full tearout and legal replacement, which is a conversation we have with Kendall homeowners every month.
- Sliding glass doors that bind or leak after decades of UV and humidity. Year-round tropical UV degrades vinyl lineals and breaks down frame seals faster here than almost anywhere in the U.S. If your slider needs two hands and a shoulder to open in August, the frame has moved and the sill pan is likely compromised.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall, FL

Impact entry and French doors: $2,000-$5,500. Impact garage doors: $1,800-$7,000 depending on bays and wind-load rating. What moves your number inside these ranges is the size of the opening, the product line you choose, and whether your existing units carry a Miami-Dade NOA sticker or a Florida Product Approval number.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall
Because Kendall sits entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires every window and door to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approval. A Florida Product Approval number is a broader statewide standard that does not satisfy HVHZ code in Kendall. If your windows were installed with only Florida approval, they cannot pass re-inspection at sale or re-roof, and you’re looking at a full replacement. Call (954) 507-3613 and we’ll read the stickers on your existing frames during the estimate, at no charge.
Most mid-1990s impact windows in Kendall are now 30 years old and hitting the end of their service life, with failed IGU seals and delaminating laminated interlayers being common in The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes. If your glass is fogging or the interlayer looks cloudy at the edges, the impact rating and insulation value are both compromised. We’ll assess each opening honestly and tell you which ones actually need replacement versus which can wait. Estimates are free.
Yes, in most cases, provided the installing contractor does not alter the structural opening or the rough frame. Our crews work within the original opening dimensions, pull permits where required by Miami-Dade, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing under The Keystone Standard. Before you sign anything with any contractor, check your builder warranty language for any clause about authorized installers. We’ll match our scope to what your warranty allows and put it in writing.
Most newer master-planned communities in Kendall, including sections of The Hammocks, have architectural review committees that require impact windows and doors to match the original builder specifications for frame color, grid pattern, and sightlines. Some also prohibit certain frame materials on street-facing elevations. We’ve helped Kendall homeowners navigate these rules by preparing submittal packages with manufacturer spec sheets and Miami-Dade NOA documentation. If your HOA requires a hearing, we can provide the paperwork your committee needs.
Because Kendall’s original builder stock from the 1970s and 1980s used single-pane aluminum sliders that oxidize, bind, and leak after decades of tropical UV and hurricane-season rain. Once the frame loses its structural bite, wind-driven water gets past the sill pan and into the wall cavity. The fix is not a glass swap. It’s a full opening replacement with an impact-rated, fusion-welded frame and new flashing at the rough opening. We did exactly this recently in a Kendale Lakes home built in 1986, and the homeowner can now pass an HVHZ re-inspection when they sell.
If you’re in Kendall and you want a straight answer on your existing impact windows, a written line-item quote, and a crew that registers both warranty layers before leaving the driveway, call (954) 507-3613. Dale Kessler’s team will walk the job, tell you what you actually need, and stand behind the work in writing. Free estimates, no pressure, no surprise line items.
