Fast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Kendall
Sliding and patio door repair or replacement in Kendall typically runs $1,850 to $6,400 depending on size, impact rating, and frame condition, with most standard replacements completed in a single day. We work throughout Kendall from The Hammocks to Kendale Lakes to West Kendall, and a live person answers when you call (954) 507-3613. Since Kendall sits entirely inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every door we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA sticker, not just a Florida Product Approval. That distinction matters more here than almost anywhere else in the country.
We know the housing stock in this part of Kendall because we have been walking its floor plans for years. Concrete block and stucco homes built between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s dominate the area, and a startling number still have their original single-pane aluminum sliders. Those doors were not built for current code, and they were never built for the UV load this latitude puts on seals and rollers. We replace them properly: full tear-out, new flashing, new sill pan, new NOA-listed frame. Not a glass swap that leaves the weak frame in place.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We are a second-generation glazier’s shop, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008 on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Kendall homeowners tend to notice that rule quickly. The work is unhurried, the measurements are taken twice, and the quote lists manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. We do not sell the cheapest door in the room. We sell the last door you will need to think about.
Kendall residents call us because we answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a callback form, not a regional call center. When a sliding door comes off its track at 9 p.m. in the middle of hurricane season, someone picks up and helps you secure the opening that night. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. That is the standard Dale set, and it has not moved.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors team serves Kendall daily. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, with crews working locally throughout Kendall. We know the difference between a 1980s original aluminum slider in a Kendale Lakes ranch and a 2010s builder-grade vinyl door in a newer Hammocks development. That local knowledge means we bring the right parts on the first visit.
Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights, no arguing. We stand behind it.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Kendall
Patio Sliding Doors
Standard patio sliders are the most common replacement we do in Kendall, and the most common point of failure. Two-panel and three-panel configurations on pre-Andrew homes in areas like Kendall Drive and Sunset Drive corridors frequently have rollers that have worn flat, tracks that have corroded in humidity, and frames that no longer seal. A typical patio slider replacement in Kendall runs $1,850 to $3,200 for a quality NOA-listed vinyl or aluminum unit. We measure every opening twice, quote the manufacturer lines on paper, and register both warranty layers before we leave.

Panoramic Sliding Systems
Kendall homes with lake views, golf course frontage, or pool decks increasingly move to multi-panel panoramic sliders. These are larger openings, often 12 to 16 feet wide, and in Kendall they must be engineered for HVHZ wind loads. We install panorama systems from manufacturers including ES Windows and CGI, with Miami-Dade NOA stickers applied to every jamb. These are not off-the-shelf doors. They require structural review of the opening, new header support in some CBS walls, and precise leveling. Budget $5,200 to $9,800 for a typical multi-panel panoramic slider in Kendall, including tear-out and stucco repair.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
Heavy-duty sliders make sense for Kendall homeowners replacing doors on large openings that face open water or wide canal frontage, where wind-driven rain hits the opening directly. These units use thicker laminated glass, reinforced frames, and heavier rollers than standard sliders. In West Kendall, where afternoon thunderstorms roll through with surprising force even outside hurricane season, a heavy-duty slider with proper sill pan flashing stops water intrusion that cheap original doors let right through. Expect $3,800 to $6,400 for a heavy-duty impact slider, installed and NOA-listed.

Pocket & Barn Doors
Interior pocket and barn doors are popular in Kendall’s newer and remodeled homes, where open floor plans benefit from flexible room division. We install and service pocket door frames that have gone out of alignment, which happens frequently in CBS construction where settling is minimal but humidity swings cause wood jambs to shift. A replacement pocket door kit with hardware typically runs $700 to $1,500 in Kendall, depending on whether the existing pocket opening is salvageable or needs new framing. If the door has come off its track and you can see the header through the gap, call us before the drywall gets damaged further.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we stock common parts for Kendall’s most common existing doors. For heavy sliders and panoramic systems, we work frequently with CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. The brand choice matters less than the NOA listing and the quality of the installation, but we will quote lines side by side so you can compare glass packages, frame warranties, and lead times. If you already have a specific brand in mind, we can tell you honestly whether it suits a Kendall opening before you buy it.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- HVHZ re-inspection failures on 1990s sliders. Kendall homes rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew often have impact doors that were installed with only a Florida Product Approval number. Those units do not pass current Miami-Dade HVHZ re-inspection, and we see this flagged repeatedly when homeowners sell or re-roof. The fix is a full replacement with a NOA-listed unit, not a patch job.
- Fogged glass from failed IGU seals. Thirty years of tropical UV and humidity breaks down insulated glass unit seals on post-Andrew doors. The argon fill escapes, condensation forms between the panes, and the door permanently loses insulation value. We replace the entire sash or door when this happens, because a fogged IGU cannot be resurrected.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion through original sill pans. Pre-Andrew homes in The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes still running original single-pane aluminum sliders often have sill pans that have corroded or separated from the frame. Hurricane-season rain finds every gap. Water stains on the interior floor near the track are the tell.
- Rollers and tracks worn from constant use. Kendall families use their patio sliders daily for most of the year. The climate is not the problem here; the sheer cycle count is. Worn rollers cause the door to drag, then bind, then jump the track. If the door is harder to open than it was a year ago, the rollers are done.

These are honest ranges for Kendall’s market. What moves the number is the size of the opening, whether the existing frame passes HVHZ inspection, and whether the replacement door carries a Miami-Dade NOA listing or only a Florida Product Approval. A Florida-only door may cost less upfront, but it will not pass re-inspection when you sell. We give written, line-item quotes with no surprise line items on the bill. Call (954) 507-3613 to schedule a free estimate. We will measure, check the existing NOA sticker, and give you the real number.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall
Open the door and look at the jamb or the top of the frame. A door that meets current HVHZ code carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance sticker with an NOA number printed on it. If you only find a Florida Product Approval sticker, the door likely does not pass current Miami-Dade re-inspection. Every exterior door in Kendall needs an NOA listing because the entire area sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. If you cannot find a sticker at all, the door is almost certainly not current-code. We check this on every estimate visit. Call (954) 507-3613 and we will verify it for you, free.
If the insulated glass unit has fogged between the panes, the seal has failed and the argon fill is gone. You cannot repair that. You can sometimes replace the IGU within the existing sash, but if the frame itself is a pre-Andrew aluminum unit without a Miami-Dade NOA sticker, you are better off replacing the entire door now rather than paying for glass and then paying again when re-inspection forces the full job. We will tell you which path makes sense for your specific door. Estimates are free at (954) 507-3613.
Most Kendall HOAs, including the larger master-planned communities, require that replacement doors match the architectural style and color palette of the original build. Impact-rated doors are almost always required, and many HOAs specifically require Miami-Dade NOA-listed products. Some approval committees also want to see the manufacturer’s color sample before you sign. We have worked with Kendall HOAs for years and can point you to what your specific community will accept before you order. Call (954) 507-3613 and ask us about your development.
Yes, and the difference is measurable. A NOA-listed impact slider with low-E laminated glass and a properly sealed frame cuts solar heat gain through the opening significantly compared to a 1990s single-pane aluminum slider. In Kendall’s year-round heat, the largest single source of window-related cooling loss is not the glass itself; it is the air moving around a failed frame seal. A properly installed heavy-duty slider stops that air movement, which is why homeowners report lower FPL bills after replacement. We can quote the specific glass packages that make the most difference for your exposure.
Yes. Homes rebuilt in the mid-1990s after Andrew are now 30-plus years old, and that is exactly the age where IGU seals fail and laminated interlayers begin to delaminate. Post-Andrew doors were often Florida Product Approval units rather than Miami-Dade NOA-listed, which means they will also fail current HVHZ re-inspection when you sell or re-roof. If your 1990s slider is fogged, hard to move, or leaking at the sill, replacement now is cheaper than scrambling later. Call (954) 507-3613 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what your door actually needs.
