AfterWindows & Doors in Kendall, FL
Window installation in Kendall runs $380 to $1,200 per opening depending on frame material, glazing package, and whether the home sits in a wind-borne debris region requiring Miami-Dade NOA-rated product. Most Kendall homes we measure were built between 1972 and 1995 with original aluminum single-pane sliders or jalousie windows that carry zero impact rating and leak conditioned air year-round. We coordinate dispatch from our Miami office, and crews are on-site in Kendall typically within 48 hours of the measured survey. Call (786) 808-5792 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Kendall Homes Are Different
Kendall sits entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance - a product certification stricter and separate from standard Florida Product Approval accepted elsewhere in the state. The large inventory of 1970s-1980s CBS ranch homes still fitted with original aluminum single-pane sliders or jalousie windows represents a backlog of NOA-mandated upgrades now being pushed by Citizens Insurance non-renewal notices targeting homes without documented wind mitigation.
The Country Walk subdivision was one of the hardest-hit communities when Hurricane Andrew made landfall in August 1992, and that cultural memory runs deep. Homeowners here distinguish between contractors who genuinely understand Miami-Dade NOA ratings and those who loosely market any laminated glass as “impact,” and that distinction wins or loses jobs more decisively here than in almost any other Florida market. Year-round humidity above 75% accelerates galvanic corrosion on aging aluminum frames and causes non-impact wood door units to swell, warp, and delaminate within just a few seasons.
Our Main Kendall Services
These are the two services Kendall homeowners call about most, plus sliding and patio doors for homes opening onto lanais and pool decks.
Window Replacement in Kendall
We replace original aluminum single-pane sliders and jalousie windows in Kendall’s 1970s-1990s CBS ranch homes with NOA-rated vinyl or aluminum impact units that meet current Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements. Every measured survey documents existing frame conditions, sightline measurements, and glazing specifications so the written quote matches the final invoice. Window Replacement in Kendall covers full-frame and insert replacement methods depending on wall condition.
Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall
Kendall’s flat, low-lying terrain in the southwestern Miami-Dade plain provides no topographic windbreak, leaving homes fully exposed to sustained winds and wind-driven rain that make frame infiltration a realistic annual threat. We specify PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows product lines by NOA rating and performance tier, not by margin. Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall includes laminated glass packages with documented missile-impact testing.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall
Kendall’s pool-adjacent and lanai-focused floor plans demand multi-panel sliding systems that seal against wind-driven rain while maintaining the sightline to outdoor space. We measure existing header loads and sill conditions before specifying two-panel, three-panel, or pocket-sliding configurations from ECO Window Systems or ViewLux. Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall addresses the corrosion-prone aluminum frames common in pre-Andrew construction.

AfterWindow Installation in Kendall
Window installation in Kendall means working with concrete-block construction, original aluminum frames corroded by decades of humidity, and the non-negotiable requirement for Miami-Dade NOA-rated product in every opening. We see two dominant housing cohorts: the 1970s-1980s CBS ranch homes with original single-pane sliders and jalousie windows, and the 1992-1995 Andrew-era rebuilds now entering their first full replacement cycle. Both present distinct frame conditions, and our measured survey documents which walls require full-frame removal versus insert replacement. Window Installation begins with the document you keep and ends with the photo record we deliver.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Original aluminum single-hung units that won’t stay open, show frame corrosion at the sill, or rattle in wind gusts are common in Kendall’s pre-1990 ranch homes.
What it costs in Kendall
Single and double hung window installation in Kendall typically runs $420 to $890 per opening for vinyl-framed, NOA-rated impact units with Low-E glazing.
How we do it
We remove the sash and frame, inspect the CBS rough opening for moisture intrusion, install the new hung unit with corrosion-resistant fasteners, seal with backer rod and silicone, then flash the exterior to Miami-Dade HVHZ detail.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
Roller windows that jam, jump their track, or show daylight through the meeting stile are standard wear in Kendall’s original 1970s-1980s slider stock.
What it costs in Kendall
Horizontal roller window installation in Kendall typically runs $480 to $950 per opening for impact-rated vinyl or aluminum frames with laminated glass.
How we do it
We measure the existing track width and wall depth, specify the roller hardware load rating for the sash weight, install with shims to maintain level operation, then test the lock and weatherstrip compression before documenting with photos.
What Window Installation Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Single or double hung window, vinyl frame, impact-rated | $420 - $890 |
| Horizontal roller window, impact-rated | $480 - $950 |
| 3-panel sliding window, impact-rated | $1,100 - $2,400 |
How long does window installation take in Kendall?
Most Kendall homes see 6-10 openings completed in one day, with full-house jobs of 15-25 openings spanning two to three days depending on frame condition and wall repairs needed. Call (786) 808-5792 to schedule your measured survey and written estimate.
Do you handle permits for window installation in Kendall?
Yes, we pull all required Miami-Dade County permits and schedule inspections; the permit number and inspection schedule are included in your written scope. Call (786) 808-5792 for a free estimate with full permit handling.
Door Installation in Kendall
Door installation in Kendall requires matching the NOA-rated product to the exposure: front entries facing open plain with no windbreak, rear doors opening to lanais with pooled humidity, and garage doors that must meet wind-load code for the largest opening in the structure. The 1970s-1980s CBS ranch homes we measure often have original hollow-core or non-impact fiberglass entries that delaminated years ago, while Andrew-era rebuilds are showing frame rot at the threshold from 30 years of wet-season exposure. Door Installation specifies Therma-Tru or Mr-Glass units by actual performance data, not by brochure.
Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Daylight visible at the threshold, soft spots in the jamb, or a door that binds seasonally indicates frame failure from Kendall’s humidity cycle.
What it costs in Kendall
Entry door installation in Kendall typically runs $1,200 to $3,400 for a pre-hung, impact-rated fiberglass or steel unit with NOA documentation and hardware.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit including frame, inspect the CBS rough opening for moisture damage, install the pre-hung door with composite or pressure-treated sill, shim plumb, then seal with backer rod and polyurethane foam before installing storm-rated hardware.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Citizens Insurance non-renewal notices citing lack of documented wind mitigation, or visible frame corrosion on coastal-exposure entries, demand verified impact-rated replacement.
What it costs in Kendall
Hurricane-proof front door installation in Kendall typically runs $2,200 to $5,800 for laminated glass and impact-rated frame systems with Miami-Dade NOA certification.
How we do it
We specify the door and frame assembly by NOA number, verify the design pressure rating matches the home’s exposure category, install with HVHZ-approved anchoring, then document the NOA label and installation photos for your wind mitigation inspection.
What Door Installation Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Entry door, pre-hung, impact-rated | $1,200 - $3,400 |
| Hurricane-proof front door with laminated glass | $2,200 - $5,800 |
| French or double door set, impact-rated | $3,400 - $7,200 |
How long does door installation take in Kendall?
A standard pre-hung entry door installs in four to six hours; hurricane-rated units with laminated glass and sidelites typically require one full day. Call (786) 808-5792 to schedule your measured survey.
Do I need a permit to replace my front door in Kendall?
Yes, Miami-Dade County requires a permit for any exterior door replacement in the HVHZ, and we pull it as part of your written scope. Call (786) 808-5792 for an estimate with permit handling included.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Kendall
Energy-efficient windows in Kendall address a specific local failure mode: original aluminum single-pane units that conduct heat at 8-10 times the rate of modern vinyl-framed, Low-E, argon-filled replacement. The same humidity that corrodes frames also drives year-round air conditioning load, and homeowners in Kendall’s 1970s-1980s stock regularly see summer electric bills $80-$150 above comparable homes with updated glazing. Energy-Efficient Windows are specified by U-factor and SHGC values matched to Miami-Dade’s cooling-dominated climate, not by generic “energy saver” labeling.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Rooms with south or west exposure that overheat by mid-afternoon, or glass that feels hot to the touch from the interior, indicate failed or absent Low-E coating.
What it costs in Kendall
Low-E and argon gas window installation in Kendall typically runs $520 to $980 per opening for double-pane vinyl-framed units with documented U-factor below 0.30.
How we do it
We specify the coating stack and gas fill by orientation, measure visible transmittance against your preference for natural light, then install with warm-edge spacers to prevent seal failure in high-humidity conditions.
ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
Signs you need it
Windows installed before 2010 likely predate current ENERGY STAR climate zone criteria for South Florida and carry higher U-factors than now required.
What it costs in Kendall
ENERGY STAR replacement window installation in Kendall typically runs $580 to $1,050 per opening for certified impact-rated vinyl frames with documented NFRC performance data.
How we do it
We verify the product’s NFRC label against South Florida climate zone requirements, confirm the ENERGY STAR certification is current, install with proper flashing integration, then provide the documentation for utility rebate programs if available.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Low-E and argon gas window, vinyl frame | $520 - $980 |
| ENERGY STAR certified replacement window | $580 - $1,050 |
| Insulated laminated glass, impact-rated | $780 - $1,420 |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my electric bill in Kendall?
Most Kendall homeowners replacing pre-1990 aluminum single-pane units see summer cooling costs drop 15-25%, with full payback in 6-10 years depending on home size and AC efficiency. Call (786) 808-5792 for a measured survey and written estimate.
Do energy-efficient windows still need to be impact-rated in Kendall?
Yes, Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements apply regardless of energy performance; we specify dual-certified units that carry both NOA impact ratings and documented U-factor/SHGC data. Call (786) 808-5792 to review certified options.
Impact Garage Doors in Kendall
Impact garage doors in Kendall protect the largest opening in most homes, a critical vulnerability when wind pressure builds and the door fails, allowing internal pressurization that can lift the roof structure. Kendall’s 1970s-1980s ranch homes often retain original non-rated sectional doors or early wind-load designs that do not meet post-Andrew standards, while Andrew-era rebuilds are now 30 years into door spring and track wear. Impact Garage Doors are specified by design pressure rating and wind-load code compliance, with the NOA number documented in your written scope.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Garage doors that bow visibly in wind gusts, show rust at the bottom section, or lack a current Miami-Dade NOA sticker are common in pre-1995 Kendall homes.
What it costs in Kendall
Hurricane-rated garage door installation in Kendall typically runs $2,800 to $6,500 for a wind-load-rated sectional door with reinforced tracks and heavy-duty hardware.
How we do it
We measure the opening for design pressure, specify the door and track assembly by NOA number, install with HVHZ-approved jamb brackets and struts, then test operation and document the rating label for your wind mitigation inspection.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Insurance non-renewal citing garage door vulnerability, or a door installed before 1994 that has never been evaluated for current Miami-Dade wind-load requirements.
What it costs in Kendall
Wind-load code compliance upgrades in Kendall typically run $1,800 to $4,200 for retrofit reinforcement kits or $3,200 to $7,800 for full replacement with rated door and track systems.
How we do it
We evaluate the existing door for retrofit potential against current code, provide written options for reinforcement or replacement with cost and performance data, then execute the selected scope with permit and inspection handling.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-rated garage door, sectional | $2,800 - $6,500 |
| Wind-load retrofit reinforcement kit | $1,800 - $4,200 |
| Full replacement with rated door and track | $3,200 - $7,800 |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated in Kendall?
Yes, Miami-Dade HVHZ requires all garage doors to meet wind-load standards with documented design pressure ratings; non-compliant doors are a primary cause of insurance non-renewal. Call (786) 808-5792 for a free evaluation.
Can you reinforce my existing garage door or does it need full replacement?
Some post-1994 doors can be retrofit with wind-load reinforcement kits; pre-Andrew doors and those with structural corrosion typically require full replacement, which we determine during measured survey. Call (786) 808-5792 to schedule inspection.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Kendall
Custom and geometric windows in Kendall solve the mismatch between original architectural openings and standard replacement sizes, common in the 1970s-1980s ranch homes with arched transoms, circular accent windows, or oversized fixed glass common to the era’s Mediterranean-influenced designs. These openings cannot accept stock units, and improper field modification of standard windows voids the NOA certification required in Miami-Dade HVHZ. Custom & Geometric Windows are measured to the nearest 1/16 inch, factory-built to that specification, and delivered with the NOA documentation intact.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
Original circular, octagonal, or triangular accent windows with failed seals, cracked glass, or aluminum frames that have corroded through at the miter joints.
What it costs in Kendall
Geometric and shaped window installation in Kendall typically runs $890 to $2,400 per opening depending on complexity, with trapezoid and octagon units at the lower end and compound curves at the upper.
How we do it
We template the opening with digital measurement, specify the frame extrusion and glazing package by factory drawing, produce the unit with NOA-rated components, then install with custom flashing to maintain the HVHZ weather barrier.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Arched transoms above entries or curved fixed glass in living areas showing seal failure, frame separation, or fogging between panes from humidity infiltration.
What it costs in Kendall
Arched and curved window installation in Kendall typically runs $1,400 to $3,800 per opening for custom radius units with laminated or insulated laminated glass and Miami-Dade NOA certification.
How we do it
We measure the springline and radius with digital template, verify the structural support for the curved header load, specify the unit from ViewLux or ECO Window Systems custom programs, then install with factory-supplied jamb extensions and arch kit.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Geometric or shaped window, standard forms | $890 - $2,400 |
| Arched or curved window, custom radius | $1,400 - $3,800 |
| Oversized fixed glass, impact-rated | $2,200 - $5,600 |
How long do custom windows take to manufacture for Kendall?
Standard geometric shapes typically ship in 4-6 weeks; compound curves and oversized units require 6-10 weeks from template approval, with the NOA documentation verified before production release. Call (786) 808-5792 to begin template measurement.
Can custom windows still be impact-rated for Miami-Dade HVHZ?
Yes, we specify only from manufacturer custom programs that maintain Miami-Dade NOA certification on non-rectangular units; field modification of standard windows voids this rating. Call (786) 808-5792 to review certified custom options.
