AfterWindows & Doors Services in Kendall, FL
Kendall homeowners replacing windows or doors are dealing with a specific set of rules: Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, a housing stock full of original 1970s and 1980s openings, and insurance paperwork that rewards the right paperwork. TruePane Windows & Doors handles the whole sequence, from measuring the rough opening to registering both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. We work throughout Kendall from The Hammocks to Kendale Lakes, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week at (561) 489-4036.

Why Kendall Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
You have likely seen flyers from out-of-town installers who do not know the difference between a Florida state product approval and a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That distinction decides whether your replacement passes inspection in Kendall. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are paying for. No one on our crew assumes Florida-wide approval covers a Kendall opening; every configuration gets checked against the Miami-Dade NOA list before the order goes in.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Since then, we have built our Kendall book of work the old way, by word of mouth through neighborhoods like Country Walk and West Kendall. Homeowners at the 55-and-up end of the market tend to call us after a previous contractor left them with a fogged seal or a binding patio door. They want someone who will still answer the phone in ten years. We plan to be here.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall
Impact Windows
Laminated impact glass with a Miami-Dade NOA is the baseline for Kendall, not an upsell. We match design pressure ratings to each opening and never quote a rating above +/-100 because no residential opening in Kendall should need one.

Window Installation
Whether you are setting new-construction windows into a Kendall addition or retrofitting original CBS openings, we measure twice and order once. Truing the opening before the unit goes in is the difference between a window that operates clean and one that binds every July.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Kendall.
Window Replacement
Most Kendall homes built before 1993 still carry aluminum single-pane windows that fail current HVHZ code and leak cooled air year-round. A true replacement job removes the old track, corrects the rough opening, and sets an impact-rated unit that closes the way a window should close.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in Kendall.
Door Installation
Kendall Door Installation for entry doors, French doors, and side-lite units installed square and sealed against Kendall’s afternoon downpours. We set thresholds properly the first time because a wobbly threshold here becomes a puddle in the foyer by August.
Learn more about our Door Installation in Kendall.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Kendall’s near-daily summer thunderstorms pressure-cycle door seals, so we specify rollers, tracks, and bottom sweeps that tolerate repetition on our Kendall Sliding Glass & Patio Doors. A patio door that fights you every time you open it is a door that was not set level.
Learn more about our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Kendall.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Kendall with Low-E coatings and insulated frames that cut solar gain through the relentless afternoon sun. Customers typically see cooling savings in the 20 to 30 percent range after replacing single-pane originals, depending on the home’s orientation and shading.
Learn more about our Energy-Efficient Windows in Kendall.
Impact Garage Doors
Impact Garage Doors in Kendall matter because a garage door is the largest opening in most homes and the first thing to fail under positive-pressure wind load. We install braced, impact-rated doors with reinforced tracks so the wind does not turn the opening into a sail.
Learn more about our Impact Garage Doors in Kendall.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Radius tops, trapezoids, and picture windows built to order for Kendall’s Mediterranean-style homes. If you have an arched opening from the 1980s, we will template it precisely and order the unit to match.
Learn more about our Custom & Geometric Windows in Kendall.
Roof Repair
Kendall roofs take direct sun, hurricane bands, and daily thermal expansion. We repair leaks, replace damaged decking, and restore the roof-to-wall connection that wind-mitigation inspectors look for.
Learn more about our Roof Repair in Kendall.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full replacements in shingle, tile, or metal, built to Miami-Dade code with the paperwork to match. We pull permits, pass inspections, and leave you with the documentation your insurance carrier wants to see.

Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Each roof system gets specified for Kendall’s wind zone and the home’s structural frame, not just dropped on. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all roof any more than we believe in a one-size-fits-all window.

Why Kendall’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendall sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the country. Every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval layer that does not exist in Broward or Palm Beach counties. A Florida statewide approval alone gets rejected at Kendall’s building department inspection. That is not a technicality; it is a re-order, a delay, and often a lien fight between owner and contractor who thought they knew the rules.
The housing stock compounds the climate. Kendall is overwhelmingly single-story CBS ranch and Mediterranean homes built between the 1970s and early 1990s, and most still carry original aluminum-frame, single-pane windows. Aluminum oxidizes in Kendall’s year-round humidity, especially with the salt aerosol that drifts up from Biscayne Bay. Glazing seals break down faster than they would in Central Florida. Add the flat limestone topography that offers no wind break, and you have a replacement market that is nearly universal, not a scattered upgrade one.
Summer thunderstorms also matter more than people expect. Kendall’s near-daily afternoon storms cycle pressure through door thresholds and bottom seals, which is why we replace threshold pans and sweeps on most exterior door jobs rather than simply hanging a new slab in an old frame.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Kendall
Honest numbers help you budget before you call. A standard impact window replacement in Kendall runs roughly $800 to $1,400 per opening installed, depending on size, frame material, and the design pressure rating required for that wall. Impact sliding glass doors typically fall between $2,500 and $5,500. Entry door replacements with impact-rated glass run $1,800 to $4,000. Custom geometric windows start around $1,200 and climb with frame complexity. Roof replacements in Kendall vary widely by system: shingle runs $8 to $12 per square foot, tile $12 to $18, and metal $14 to $22 installed, with final numbers set by decking condition and the roof’s geometry.
We quote fixed prices in writing before work starts. No change orders, no surprise line items on the bill. Estimates are free. Call (561) 489-4036 to schedule one.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Kendall
Kendall homeowners often weigh impact windows against shutters because both can satisfy insurance wind-mitigation requirements. Shutters cost less to buy but only work when someone is home to deploy them, and they do nothing for daily energy loss, UV fading, or the bulk of ordinary weather. Impact windows are permanent protection: laminated glass that never needs to be installed before a storm and keeps working every day of the year. They also qualify for the same windstorm premium credits as shutters after a wind-mitigation inspection while improving the home’s cooling load at the same time. We install impact windows and doors exclusively; we do not sell shutters.
Florida Pays Kendall Homeowners Back
Several incentive programs currently apply to impact-rated window and door work in Kendall. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades for eligible homeowners. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves meaningful money on a whole-home replacement. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, most Kendall homeowners see a windstorm premium reduction averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set final numbers, so we walk you through the paperwork but never guarantee a dollar figure your insurer has not confirmed.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall
Most Kendall impact window replacements run $800 to $1,400 per opening installed, depending on size and the design pressure rating required for that wall. A whole-home replacement of 10 to 12 openings usually lands between $9,000 and $17,000 before any incentives are applied. Call (561) 489-4036 for a free, written quote on your exact openings.
No. We quote fixed, line-item pricing in writing before the first tool comes off the truck. The only exception is if we open a wall and find rot or structural damage that could not have been seen beforehand, and we will show you the condition and get your written approval before proceeding. We stand behind the number we give you.
Yes. We pull all required Miami-Dade building permits, schedule inspections, and do not consider a job complete until it passes. The Kendall building department requires product approval documentation for every impact opening, and we handle that paperwork as part of the job.
Once your units arrive, most replacement work is completed as fast as a single day for standard openings. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks from order placement. We schedule the work around your home and keep you informed on the order status throughout.
Yes. Kendall homeowners replacing original single-pane aluminum windows typically see cooling savings in the 20 to 30 percent range, depending on the home’s orientation, shading, and how much of the window area faces direct afternoon sun. Low-E coatings and insulated frames are doing the heavy lifting, and the impact rating is the code compliance and storm protection layer on top.

What Kendall Customers Say
"Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T."French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G.
