Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Kendall
Door installation in Kendall runs $450 to $3,800 for most single entry doors and $1,900 to $8,500 for double or French door systems, depending on whether the unit carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and how much structural work the opening needs. We work throughout Kendall, from The Hammocks to Kendale Lakes, and most single door replacements take one day on site. If you’re looking at a fogged builder-grade slider or a front door that binds every August, call (954) 507-3613 and we’ll give you a straight answer and a written quote.
Kendall is not like other parts of South Florida when it comes to doors. Every opening in this corridor sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the products we install have to clear a higher bar than what’s legal an hour north in Broward. We’ve been setting doors in these concrete block homes long enough to know which ones pass inspection and which ones will cost you at closing.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Dale Kessler started TruePane with one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every door we hang in Kendall, whether it’s a $600 storm door in Coral Terrace or a $7,000 pivot door going into a renovated Kendale Lakes home.
Our technicians know Kendall’s housing stock the way a mechanic knows a familiar engine. The bulk of homes here went up between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s as concrete block and stucco construction, and a lot of those original openings have builder-grade aluminum frames that were never meant to hold an impact-rated door in an HVHZ wind event. We measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and every Kendall job gets it.
We answer our own phone, 24 hours a day. When you call about a door that won’t latch in The Hammocks or a French door that’s let wind-driven rain onto your tile for the third time this hurricane season, you’ll talk to a live person who can actually schedule a Kendall visit, not a regional call center taking a message.
Our Door Installation Services in Kendall
Entry & Swing Doors
A front door in Kendall does two jobs: it has to look right from the street and it has to hold up in a named storm. Most of the entry doors we replace here are original to the home, single-panel steel or cheap fiberglass units without an NOA sticker. Homeowners in Kendall call us when the door starts binding at the bottom, when the finish is chalked and peeling from year-round UV exposure, or when they’ve received an HOA notice about a style change. A quality impact-rated entry door installed in Kendall starts around $1,800 and goes up based on panel material, hardware, and whether rough opening repairs are needed.

Double & French Doors
Double front doors are common across Kendall’s master-planned communities, and they fail in predictable ways. The astragal between the leaves warps, the active leaf sags, and the two panels start gapping at the top. In an HVHZ, that gap is a water and wind entry point. We regularly replace French doors in Kendall where the homeowner thought a simple hinge adjustment would fix things, only to find the frame itself was racked. Expect $2,800 to $8,500 for a properly flashed, impact-rated double French door system, including removal of the old unit and sill pan correction.

Storm Doors
Kendall homeowners often add a storm door when they want cross-ventilation during our mild winter months without giving up the protection of their primary entry door. The cheap ones rust at the hinges and cloud at the glass within three or four seasons. We carry Jeld-Wen and PGT storm door lines with Miami-Dade approvals, and we set them so the closer doesn’t slam the door against the jamb every time the afternoon trade winds come through. Budget $550 to $1,400 for a decent storm door installed.

Bifold & Folding Doors
Folding door systems are showing up more in Kendall as owners open up dining rooms onto patios and pool decks. The challenge here is the threshold. Kendall homes sit low to the ground, and the original slab often slopes just enough that a poor threshold installation channels water toward the interior during summer rains. We take the time to level the track, flash the pans, and confirm drainage before the panels ever go in. Folding door work in Kendall starts around $4,500 and climbs based on panel count and glass package.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Kendall jobs we lean toward, PGT because those product families have deep Miami-Dade NOA catalogs. That matters. When the inspector asks to see the NOA number for your new door, you want a manufacturer that has already done the engineering work. We keep common replacement parts for these brands within reach, which shortens turnaround when you need a roller, hinge, or threshold rebuilt before the next front rolls in off the Atlantic. Every quote shows the manufacturer, the NOA status, and both warranty tiers in writing.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- HVHZ non-compliance on pre-Andrew or Florida-only doors. Contractors in the 1990s sometimes installed doors with Florida Statewide Product Approvals, not Miami-Dade NOAs. Those units fail current re-inspection and force a full replacement when you sell or reroof.
- IGU seal failure from tropical heat and UV. Insulated glass units in post-Andrew doors are now 30-plus years old. The argon escapes, the glass fogs, and the door loses its insulating value. You can’t just swap the glass in most of these frames; the whole sash gets replaced.
- HOA approval violations. Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, and other Kendall subdivisions require architectural review before a door style, color, or material can change. Unapproved work triggers fines and forced reversal. We help owners navigate those forms before the job starts.
- Wind-driven rain infiltration at the sill pan. Original CBS thresholds from the 1980s often sit on deteriorated flashing tape or no pan flashing at all. After 40 years of hurricane-season rains, the subfloor and drywall behind the door show water damage and mold.
Pricing for Door Installation in Kendall, FL
A single impact-rated entry door in Kendall runs $1,800 to $3,800 installed. A double French door system is $2,800 to $8,500. Storm doors sit at $550 to $1,400. Folding door systems start around $4,500 and go north of $12,000 on wide openings. The big variables are NOA compliance, rough opening condition, frame material, and whether HOA architectural approval slows the schedule. The older CBS construction in Kendall means door openings often need a concrete header adjustment or jamb rebuild, which adds $300 to $900 to some jobs. We quote fixed numbers and line items before work begins. Call (954) 507-3613 for a written estimate.

FAQs - Door Installation in Kendall
Yes, in most Kendall communities. Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, and other master-planned subdivisions have architectural review requirements that cover door style, material, and color. You’ll need to submit drawings or a manufacturer spec sheet before you install, and unapproved work risks fines and forced reversal. We help Kendall homeowners prepare the paperwork so the job doesn’t stall. Call (954) 507-3613 if you’re not sure what your HOA requires.
A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is a product approval issued after a door unit passes impact and pressure tests specific to the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Kendall sits entirely within the HVHZ, so any door you install legally must carry a current NOA. Products with only Florida Statewide approvals don’t meet code here and will fail re-inspection. For an NOA-compliant door quoted to your exact opening, call (954) 507-3613.
Usually not. Fog between the panes means the insulated glass unit has lost its argon fill and the seal is gone. In Kendall’s climate, a 30-year-old frame is often warped or out of square enough that reglazing the sash doesn’t solve the problem. We inspect the frame before recommending glass-only work, and in most Kendall homes, full sash or full door replacement is the honest fix.
It generally won’t void the builder’s structural warranty if the installation meets current Miami-Dade code and doesn’t damage the surrounding opening. We use code-compliant flashing, preserve the original rough opening where possible, and provide documentation your builder can review. If you’re still under a builder warranty, the safest move is a permitted, NOA-compliant install. Call us for specifics on your home.
Three reasons: Kendall’s full HVHZ exposure means doors take more wind loads than homes in central Broward; year-round tropical UV strips finishes and degrades frame materials; and a huge share of Kendall’s doors date to the post-Andrew rebuild wave of the mid-1990s, so they’re all aging out around the same time. The result is a neighborhood-wide replacement cycle you can see driving through The Hammocks on any given week.
