Window Replacement in Kendall - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Kendall

Window replacement in Kendall, FL usually runs $850-$2,400 per opening depending on whether you need a full frame tear-out or an insert, and whether the unit must carry a Miami-Dade NOA sticker. That second point matters more in Kendall than almost anywhere else in the country. If your home sits in The Hammocks or Kendale Lakes and still carries 1990s Florida Product Approval-only windows, a simple glass swap might not be legal when you sell or re-roof. TruePane has worked in Kendall long enough to check for that before we quote. Call (954) 507-3613 and we’ll walk your home with a tape measure, a moisture meter, and the manufacturer NOA binders you need to see before you sign anything.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

Kendall homeowners call us because we answer the phone. Not a callback form, not a regional call center. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 and the rule on the whiteboard has not changed since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice before ordering. That habit catches mistakes that cheaper bids leave for the install day.

We know Kendall’s housing stock because we have been pulling windows out of it for years. The concrete block and stucco construction common across the area holds openings square, but the original 1970s and 1980s single-pane aluminum frames we find in older sections of Kendale Lakes oxidize badly under tropical UV. When a homeowner calls us about a window that will not close flush anymore, the frame has usually bowed enough that an insert will not seat properly. We tell them that before they spend money. That kind of honesty is why Kendall homeowners keep our number on the fridge.

Our Window Replacement team handles everything from one fogged sash in a townhouse to a full-home tear-out in a 1990s subdivision. We pull permits, schedule Miami-Dade inspections, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Kendall, no exceptions.

Our Window Replacement Services in Kendall

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement in Kendall means pulling the entire window down to the rough opening: frame, sash, trim, and all. In most Kendall homes this is the correct route, not the expensive one. Homes built before Hurricane Andrew often have original aluminum frames with no thermal break, and homes rebuilt in the mid-1990s frequently have Florida Product Approval-only windows that cannot pass current HVHZ re-inspection. You cannot legally insert a new impact window into an old frame that never met Miami-Dade code. We do full tear-outs in Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, and every subdivision in between, and we haul away the old aluminum so you don’t pay a second disposal fee.

Insert Window Replacement

Insert replacement works when the existing frame is still square, still structurally sound, and already carries a current Miami-Dade NOA sticker. We see this most often in Kendall homes built after 2002, when the modern code cycle tightened and builders stopped cutting corners on window packages. An insert keeps your interior trim and stucco work intact, which means less dust and a faster install. We measure the existing frame in three places per side because concrete block homes settle, and a frame that looks square is not always square.

Storm Window Replacement

Most Kendall homeowners do not want storm windows added on top of existing windows. They want impact-rated replacement windows that do the storm job themselves. If you live in a condo or HOA that restricts frame changes, a low-profile storm window can be the compliant workaround, but it is rarely the right long-term answer in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. We will show you the difference on paper, side by side, so you can see what each option costs over a 10-year window and what each one does when a Category 4 makes landfall.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Kendall’s summer heat does not let up from May through October, and your AC runs hard for most of it. Low-E coated glass with argon fill cuts the solar heat gain enough that you feel the difference in the room beside the window, not just on the power bill. We upgrade Kendall homes to ENERGY STAR-rated packages regularly, and we size the glass package to the orientation of each opening. A west-facing window in a Kendall stucco home takes a different beating than a north-facing one, and the right glass spec reflects that.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For Kendall specifically, we quote CGI and ES Windows often because both carry extensive Miami-Dade NOA approvals across their impact-rated product lines. We also work with ECO Window Systems for homeowners who want a strong mid-range vinyl option without paying for a brand name they will never see again. We stock common replacement parts for these brands locally, so a failed sash lock or weatherstrip does not mean waiting on a freight truck. When you call TruePane, we put side-by-side manufacturer quotes on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying and why one line costs more than another.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Fogged or hazy glass in post-Andrew impact windows from The Hammocks: The insulated glass unit’s seal has failed, letting humid air in and argon out, cutting insulation value and eventually leaving visible condensation between the panes. This is not repairable. The IGU gets replaced, and if the frame still carries a valid NOA sticker we can do it as an insert. If the sticker is gone or the frame is oxidized, it is a full tear-out.
• HOA rejection of new window styles: Many Kendall master-planned communities, especially Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks, enforce architectural guidelines that only permit certain frame colors, grid patterns, or window types. Installing a different double-hung or casement without approval triggers a violation notice. We pull the design specs from your HOA before you order, so the windows we install are the windows the board already approved.
• No current NOA sticker: Homes fitted in the 1990s with Florida Product Approval-only windows cannot pass current HVHZ re-inspection. A simple insert replacement becomes a full frame tear-out when the home is sold or re-roofed. We check every sticker on every opening during the estimate walk, and we tell you what passes and what does not before you spend a dollar.
• Aluminum frame oxidation and bowed sills: Tropical UV in Kendall breaks down aluminum frames over 20 to 30 years, and wind-driven rain from hurricane season exploits every gap the oxidation creates. If your window will not close flush or you feel a draft even when it is locked, the frame has likely warped past what an insert can fix. We show you the readings from our square and level so you can see it for yourself.
