Windows & Doors in Kendall, FL
Window installation in Kendall runs $380-$920 per opening for standard vinyl, $740-$1,400 for impact-rated systems, and $1,200-$2,800 for custom or geometric shapes, with most full-home projects completing in two to four days. Every job we perform in Kendall starts with a measured survey the homeowner keeps, and the written quote cannot differ from that document - Haven Clause 1. Call (786) 481-0414 to schedule your free estimate.
Kendall’s housing stock, built largely between the late 1960s and mid-1990s, presents a specific challenge: original single-pane aluminum and jalousie windows that predate the post-Hurricane Andrew HVHZ code overhaul. Replacing these requires Miami-Dade NOA-certified products, custom rough-opening rebuilds when decades of DIY patching have left non-standard dimensions, and crews who understand that the Everglades windbreak to the west means unobstructed sustained wind loads that standard products cannot handle. Our Window Installation crews measure every opening twice, document frame conditions with photos, and specify PGT or CGI systems engineered for this exact environment.
Why Kendall Homes Are Different
Kendall sits fully inside Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most stringent hurricane-product jurisdiction in the United States. Every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance - a certification not required in neighboring Broward County cities like Miramar or Pembroke Pines. This means a product that installs legally in Pembroke Pines may be rejected at Kendall permit inspection.
The local housing stock amplifies the complexity. Thousands of single-story CBS ranch homes in Kendale Lakes and two-story townhouse clusters in The Hammocks still run original jalousie windows - louvered glass slats that were a South Florida staple through the 1980s. No jalousie product holds Miami-Dade NOA, so replacement requires building out the rough opening entirely. Many homeowners discover this mid-project when a permit inspection flags the existing units. Year-round UV and salt-laden humidity from nearby Biscayne Bay corrode standard aluminum frames and degrade non-impact vinyl within a few years, driving demand for South Florida-engineered systems from manufacturers who test specifically for this climate.
Before
AfterOur Main Kendall Services
Most calls from Kendall homeowners center on two needs: replacing original windows that no longer meet code or insurability requirements, and upgrading entry points to certified impact-rated systems that satisfy mortgage and insurance conditions.
Window Replacement in Kendall
Window replacement in Kendall typically means removing original single-pane aluminum or jalousie units from 1970s-1990s tract homes and installing Miami-Dade NOA-certified impact or energy-efficient systems. We measure every rough opening for squareness and structural integrity, since decades of DIY patching in neighborhoods like Kendale Lakes often leave non-standard dimensions that require custom sizing. The measured survey becomes your written quote - no change orders, no surprises. Window Replacement in Kendall
Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall
Impact windows and doors in Kendall are not optional upgrades; they are the legal minimum for replacement work in Miami-Dade’s HVHZ. Insurance carriers increasingly require Miami-Dade NOA certification for continued coverage, and mortgage holders may flag non-compliant openings during refinancing. We specify PGT, CGI, or ES Windows systems by performance tier and price range, not by margin, and every installation includes the documented photo record required for warranty and resale documentation. Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall
Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall
Sliding and patio door replacement in Kendall addresses a common failure point: original aluminum slider tracks corroded by salt-laden humidity, and single-pane glass that provides neither impact protection nor thermal performance. Many Kendall homes feature 8-foot or 12-foot openings that require multi-panel systems with proper header support, especially in CBS construction where the original frame may not have been engineered for modern door weights. We assess structural load, specify the appropriate track system, and deliver a written price before any work starts. Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall

Window Installation in Kendall
Window installation in Kendall means working with a housing stock built between the late 1960s and mid-1990s, when single-pane aluminum and jalousie windows were standard and the concept of a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone did not exist. The post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul left thousands of homes with openings that are simultaneously out of code, increasingly uninsurable, and physically degraded by decades of UV exposure and salt-laden humidity. Our Window Installation process begins with a measured survey that documents frame conditions, rough-opening dimensions, and any structural repairs needed before product specification - and that survey becomes the written quote the homeowner keeps.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Original single-pane aluminum frames with failed balances, visible corrosion at the sill, or rooms that stay uncomfortably warm despite running the AC continuously.
What it costs in Kendall
Standard vinyl single or double hung installation runs $380-$720 per opening; impact-rated systems with Miami-Dade NOA certification range $740-$1,200.
How we do it
We remove the sash and frame, inspect the rough opening for water damage or non-standard dimensions from prior patching, install the new unit with proper shimming and fastening to CBS or wood framing per HVHZ requirements, then seal with backer rod and silicone before documenting with photos.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
Sliding panels that stick or derail, corroded rollers, or visible daylight around the sash perimeter when closed.
What it costs in Kendall
Horizontal roller replacement in standard vinyl starts at $420-$780 per opening; impact-rated versions with laminated glass and reinforced frames run $820-$1,400.
How we do it
We measure the exact track width and sill slope, specify a roller system rated for the opening’s square footage, install with continuous perimeter anchoring per Miami-Dade NOA protocols, and test operation under load before the homeowner signs the completion checklist.
What Window Installation Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Standard vinyl single/double hung | $380 - $720 |
| Impact-rated single/double hung | $740 - $1,200 |
| Horizontal roller (impact-rated) | $820 - $1,400 |
How long does window installation take in Kendall?
Most full-home window installations in Kendall complete in two to four days, depending on opening count and whether rough-opening rebuilds are needed for non-standard dimensions from prior DIY work. Call (786) 481-0414 for a timeline based on your specific openings - estimates are free.
Do you handle permits for window replacement in Kendall?
Yes, we pull all required permits and schedule inspections; Miami-Dade’s HVHZ requires Miami-Dade NOA certification on every product, and we verify compliance before any unit ships to your job. Call (786) 481-0414 to review your permit status and schedule a measured survey.
Door Installation in Kendall
Door installation in Kendall requires navigating the same HVHZ constraints as windows, with the added complexity that entry doors are primary security and insurance inspection points. Original hollow-core or un-reinforced doors from the 1970s-1990s housing stock offer no impact resistance, and many have frames degraded by humidity infiltration at the sill. Our Door Installation teams measure jamb depth, header condition, and threshold slope before specifying any product, since CBS construction in neighborhoods like The Hammocks often requires custom frame buildouts to accommodate modern pre-hung units.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Your insurance inspection flagged the entry door as non-compliant, the existing door lacks a Miami-Dade NOA label, or the frame shows rot or separation at the sill from humidity infiltration.
What it costs in Kendall
Hurricane-rated entry door systems with impact glass and reinforced frames run $1,400-$2,800 installed, including frame modification for HVHZ anchoring.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit, assess header and jack-stud condition, install a Miami-Dade NOA-certified pre-hung system with proper shimming and HVHZ-approved fasteners, then seal the perimeter and document with photos for your record.
French & Double Doors
Signs you need it
Double doors that no longer meet in the middle, sagging hinges from door weight the original frame was not engineered for, or single-pane glass that fails impact and thermal requirements.
What it costs in Kendall
French and double door installation ranges $2,200-$4,500 depending on width, impact rating, and whether header reinforcement is required for the new unit’s weight.
How we do it
We verify header load capacity, specify a reinforced frame system with multi-point locking, install with continuous sill pan and proper drainage plane integration, then test operation and seal performance before final documentation.
What Door Installation Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-rated entry door | $1,400 - $2,800 |
| French & double doors | $2,200 - $4,500 |
| Standard replacement door (non-impact) | $680 - $1,400 |
Do I need a permit to replace my front door in Kendall?
Yes, Miami-Dade requires a permit for any exterior door replacement in the HVHZ, and the product must carry Miami-Dade NOA certification; we pull the permit and schedule inspection as part of our standard scope. Call (786) 481-0414 to verify your door’s compliance and schedule a measured survey.
Can I keep my existing frame and just replace the door slab?
In Kendall’s HVHZ, slab-only replacement rarely meets code because the frame must be engineered and anchored for impact loads; we assess the existing frame but typically recommend a pre-hung system to ensure compliance and warranty coverage. Call (786) 481-0414 for a frame evaluation.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Kendall
Energy-efficient windows in Kendall address a specific climate problem: year-round cooling loads driven by intense solar gain through single-pane glass, combined with humidity infiltration that forces the AC to work harder. The southwestern Miami-Dade flatlands offer no shade from the afternoon sun, and original aluminum frames from the 1970s-1990s conduct heat directly into the living space. Our Energy-Efficient Windows specifications start with U-factor and SHGC ratings appropriate for this cooling-dominated climate, not generic northern ratings that prioritize heating performance.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Rooms with western exposure that become unusable in afternoon hours, fading on furniture or flooring near windows, or energy bills that spike seasonally despite consistent thermostat settings.
What it costs in Kendall
Low-E with argon gas fill adds $60-$140 per opening to base window cost, with total installed pricing for standard sizes running $520-$920.
How we do it
We specify PGT or ES Windows systems with soft-coat Low-E on surface #2 and argon fill, verify gas retention through spacer type and seal certification, then document U-factor and SHGC ratings on the written quote for your utility rebate or tax documentation.
UV-Blocking & Fade Protection
Signs you need it
Visible fading on hardwood floors, artwork, or upholstery within three to six feet of windows, or skin sensitivity to UV exposure in rooms with prolonged direct sun.
What it costs in Kendall
UV-blocking laminated or specialized Low-E systems run $680-$1,200 per opening installed, depending on frame material and impact-rating requirements.
How we do it
We measure visible transmittance and UV rejection percentages from manufacturer spec sheets, specify the appropriate glazing package for the opening’s orientation and your interior contents, and install with proper edge clearances to prevent thermal stress cracking in high-UV exposure.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Low-E & argon (standard vinyl frame) | $520 - $920 |
| UV-blocking laminated glass | $680 - $1,200 |
| Full ENERGY STAR replacement (impact-rated) | $920 - $1,600 |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my electric bill in Kendall?
Most Kendall homeowners see measurable cooling-load reduction after replacing single-pane aluminum with Low-E, argon-filled systems, though exact savings depend on opening count, home orientation, and existing insulation; we document projected U-factor improvement on every quote. Call (786) 481-0414 for a measured survey and performance estimate.
Do energy-efficient windows need to be impact-rated in Kendall?
Any replacement window in Miami-Dade’s HVHZ must carry Miami-Dade NOA certification, which includes impact-rated options; we specify energy-efficient glazing within impact-rated frames so both requirements are met in one product. Call (786) 481-0414 to review compliant options.
Impact Garage Doors in Kendall
Impact garage doors in Kendall are increasingly flagged during insurance inspections and mortgage refinancing, yet many homes in the 1970s-1990s stock still run original non-rated panels that provide no wind-load resistance. The garage door is the largest opening in most homes, and in Kendall’s unobstructed wind exposure - with the Everglades offering no buffer to the west - a failed garage door pressurizes the entire structure. Our Impact Garage Doors service specifies wind-load-rated systems with proper track anchoring to the CBS header, not just panel replacement that leaves the weak points intact.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Your insurance renewal requires a wind mitigation inspection, the existing door lacks a Miami-Dade NOA label, or the track is visibly pulling away from the header under normal operation.
What it costs in Kendall
Hurricane-rated garage door systems with reinforced tracks and impact-rated panels run $1,800-$3,800 for single-car openings and $2,800-$5,200 for double-car, depending on wind-load rating and insulation options.
How we do it
We measure the opening for squareness, assess header and jamb anchorage capacity, specify a door and track system rated for the specific wind-load zone, install with HVHZ-approved fasteners and continuous angle, then test operation and document with photos for your inspection record.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
A permit inspection failed due to non-compliant garage door, you’re selling the home and the buyer’s inspection flagged the door, or you’re refinancing and the lender requires wind mitigation documentation.
What it costs in Kendall
Wind-load compliance upgrades - including track reinforcement, spring replacement, and hardware upgrades to existing compliant panels - range $680-$1,400; full door replacement for compliance runs $1,800-$5,200.
How we do it
We review the specific code violation or inspection report, determine whether the existing door can be brought into compliance with hardware upgrades or requires full replacement, execute the scope, and provide the documentation needed for permit closeout or insurance submission.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-rated single-car door | $1,800 - $3,800 |
| Hurricane-rated double-car door | $2,800 - $5,200 |
| Wind-load compliance upgrade (hardware) | $680 - $1,400 |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated if it’s not facing the street?
Yes, Miami-Dade HVHZ requires wind-load-rated garage doors on all exposures; wind direction during a hurricane is not predictable, and the code applies to the structure, not the facade orientation. Call (786) 481-0414 to verify your door’s rating and schedule an evaluation.
Can I add impact panels to my existing garage door track?
Existing tracks are rarely engineered for the weight and wind load of impact-rated panels; we assess track and header capacity but typically recommend a complete system designed and tested as an assembly for HVHZ compliance. Call (786) 481-0414 for a structural evaluation.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Kendall
Custom and geometric windows in Kendall solve a problem created by the area’s distinctive housing stock: original jalousie windows in The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes, transoms and sidelights flanking entry doors, and architectural details from the 1970s-1990s that standard rectangular replacements cannot replicate. Many of these openings have been modified by decades of DIY work, leaving rough openings that require field measurement and custom fabrication. Our Custom & Geometric Windows service draws from PGT and CGI custom lines, with measured surveys that account for every radius, angle, and structural condition.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
Original triangular, trapezoid, or circular windows that are leaking, fogged, or constructed of multiple small panes that no longer meet impact or thermal requirements.
What it costs in Kendall
Geometric and shaped window fabrication and installation runs $1,200-$2,800 per opening, depending on complexity, radius requirements, and whether impact-rated laminated glass is specified.
How we do it
We template the exact shape with digital measurement tools, specify a PGT or CGI custom line with Miami-Dade NOA coverage for the specific geometry, fabricate to measured dimensions with laminated or insulated glass as required, and install with custom flashing integration to maintain the drainage plane.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Arched windows with failed thermal seals showing condensation between panes, or curved-top units where the original frame has sagged and compromised the sash operation.
What it costs in Kendall
Arched and curved window replacement ranges $1,600-$3,400 per opening, with pricing driven by radius precision, glass type, and whether the arch is a true radius or a segmented approximation requiring field adjustment.
How we do it
We measure the spring-line, rise, and radius with precision tools, verify structural support for the curved header, specify a unit with true or segmented arch as appropriate, and install with continuous perimeter seal and documented photo record of the finished sightline.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Geometric & shaped windows | $1,200 - $2,800 |
| Arched & curved windows | $1,600 - $3,400 |
| Oversized custom openings (impact-rated) | $2,400 - $4,800 |
Can you match the shape of my original jalousie window?
We can fabricate a fixed or operable geometric window to fit the existing rough opening, but no jalousie product holds Miami-Dade NOA so the replacement will be a different operating type; we specify the closest functional equivalent and document the change for permit approval. Call (786) 481-0414 to template your opening.
How long does custom window fabrication take?
Custom geometric units from PGT or CGI typically require four to eight weeks from measured survey to delivery, depending on complexity and current production queues; we provide a firm timeline with your written quote and coordinate installation immediately upon arrival. Call (786) 481-0414 to start the measured survey.
Brands We Service in Kendall
We specify from eight verified manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - selected by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. For Kendall’s HVHZ conditions, we most frequently draw from PGT and CGI for impact-rated systems, with ES Windows for specific energy-performance tiers. Parts and hardware for these lines are stocked through our Miami-area logistics, keeping turnaround tight when service is needed. See our brands for full specifications and performance data.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall
Yes, Miami-Dade County requires a permit for all window and door replacements in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone; we pull the permit, verify Miami-Dade NOA certification on every product, and schedule inspections as standard scope on every job.
Look for a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) label on the frame or glass; if your home was built before 1992 or has original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows, they almost certainly do not comply, and many insurance carriers now require proof of compliance for renewal.
We provide the product specifications, Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and installation details that most Kendall HOAs require for architectural review; we recommend submitting before ordering, as some associations have specific color or style restrictions that affect product selection.
