AfterOur Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Kendall
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Kendall sits fully inside Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most stringent hurricane-product jurisdiction in the United States. Every replacement door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance - a certification not required in neighboring Broward County. We specify PGT and CGI impact sliders with design pressures matched to your opening’s wind exposure, not just a generic “hurricane rated” label. For west-facing walls toward the Everglades, we size the glazing for true HVHZ loads, where unobstructed sustained winds hit hardest.
Impact French Patio Doors
French patio doors in Kendall need more than aesthetic appeal. The corner units and wide openings popular in Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks must meet specific design pressures for their exposure. We source from ViewLux and PGT lines with Miami-Dade NOA documentation per configuration, and we coordinate with your architect on trim returns when custom millwork is specified. Lead times on specialty finishes run 4-6 weeks; we lock pricing in writing before any order is placed so the calendar doesn’t become a cost surprise.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
The 1970s-1990s CBS ranch homes that dominate Kendall’s housing stock often have original single-pane aluminum sliders with pitted tracks and seized rollers. Homeowners frequently mistake roller seizure for a lock problem. Once the sill is corroded from Biscayne Bay humidity and year-round UV, replacement is the only fix. We measure the rough opening precisely - many have been patched with non-standard framing over decades - and specify South Florida-engineered systems that won’t chalk or bow like non-impact vinyl.
Patio Doors
Standard patio door work in Kendall rarely stays standard. A homeowner in Kendale Lakes called us about a 1980s jalousie wall behind the family room that wasn’t sealing. Our tech found non-standard patched framing that had to be squared and built out before we could set a PGT impact slider. We specified laminated glass interlayer with low-E coating and a tight SHGC for the west-facing exposure, then coordinated with the homeowner’s architect on trim returns so the new head and jamb met the existing crown detail. The documented photo record showed every stage.
Screen Door Installation
Screen doors on Kendall impact sliders must integrate with the primary door’s frame system without compromising the HVHZ seal. We match screen hardware to the manufacturer line - PGT, CGI, CWS - so the warranty remains intact and the operation stays smooth through wet season.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We draw from eight verified manufacturer lines, specifying by performance tier and price range, not by margin. For Kendall’s HVHZ requirements, we most often reach for PGT, CGI, and ViewLux impact-rated sliders and French doors - all with Miami-Dade NOA documentation per configuration. Parts and hardware for these lines move through our South Florida warehouse, so warranty service doesn’t wait on cross-country shipping. When a Kendall customer needs a specific finish or custom glazing, we pull from CWS or ES Window Systems to match the opening’s requirements.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Corroded aluminum tracks on original sliders. The single-pane aluminum sliders installed in 1970s-1990s Kendall ranches develop pitted tracks and seized rollers that homeowners mistake for lock failure. Once the sill is corroded from salt-laden humidity, replacement is the only fix.
- Jalousie walls blocking permit approval. Jalousie windows - still common in The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes - hold no Miami-Dade NOA. Replacing them with an impact slider requires building out the rough opening entirely; skipping this fails inspection.
- Under-spec’d corner sliders on Everglades-side homes. Catalog-ordered French or corner patio doors won’t hit the design pressure needed for unobstructed western exposures. The opening must be sized and glazed for true HVHZ wind loads.
- Chalked and bowed non-impact vinyl. Standard vinyl frames on Kendall’s west-facing walls degrade within a few years under intense UV and Biscayne Bay humidity. We steer clients to South Florida-engineered systems from PGT or CGI.
What Sliding & Patio Doors Costs in Kendall
A typical impact sliding glass door replacement in Kendall runs $2,800-$4,500 for a standard single opening, with impact French patio doors starting around $3,200-$5,500 depending on configuration. Jalousie-to-slider conversions with full rough-opening rebuilds start at $4,200 and can reach $6,500+ when structural framing and custom trim coordination are involved. Large or custom openings - corner units, extra-wide sliders, specialty architectural configurations - range $5,000-$8,500. Whole-home patio door packages with multiple openings and consistent millwork run $12,000-$25,000+.
What moves the price in Kendall: the opening count, the wind zone exposure (Everglades-side carries higher design pressure requirements), floor height (second-story installs need additional labor and equipment), and frame material (aluminum-clad impact systems run higher than standard vinyl but last in this climate). Custom finishes, specialty hardware, and architect-coordinated millwork add cost but are locked in writing before any order is placed.

Florida Pays You Back
Several programs can offset impact door costs for qualifying Kendall homeowners. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for wind-mitigation upgrades - the state matches your investment dollar-for-dollar within program limits. Florida exempts sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors, which applies at purchase. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150) can trigger premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set final numbers; we document the product approvals you need to file.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall
Yes. Kendall is inside Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and any replacement window or door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance regardless of whether the project looks like a simple swap. The inspector will check the NOA number against the installed product. Call (786) 481-0414 and we’ll verify your specification before ordering.
No jalousie product holds Miami-Dade NOA, so a direct replacement isn’t permit-legal. The rough opening must be built out to accept a code-compliant impact slider, which adds framing labor and typically pushes the project into the $4,200-$6,500 range. We identify this during our free measured survey so you’re not surprised mid-project. Call (786) 481-0414 to schedule.
Custom-fabricated impact units arrive in 4-6 weeks from order; installation itself is typically completed in a single day once units are on-site. Long-lead specialty finishes and custom millwork - not labor - set the calendar on high-end work. We lock pricing in writing before ordering so lead time doesn’t become cost creep. Call (786) 481-0414 for current production schedules.
No. Haven Clause 1 states that the measurement and the quote are the same document. The written price you approve before ordering is the price on the final invoice. If field conditions require additional work, we document it, explain it, and get written approval before proceeding. Call (786) 481-0414 for a written quote.
They can. Impact-rated systems with low-E glass and tight SHGC ratings reduce solar heat gain on west- and south-facing openings, which matters in Kendall’s intense UV climate. The exact savings depend on your home’s exposure, existing envelope, and HVAC system. The federal 25C credit and potential wind-mitigation premium credits add to the return. Call (786) 481-0414 and we’ll run the performance specs for your specific opening.
