Replacing windows and doors in Kendall is not a cosmetic project. It is a structural and insurance decision driven by one fact: Kendall sits inside Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every opening in your house is either rated for that reality or it is not. TruePane Windows & Doors handles impact windows, door installation, sliding glass doors, and full replacements for Kendall homeowners who want the work measured twice, quoted on paper, and backed by a warranty that is registered before our truck leaves the driveway. Call (561) 956-2754 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.

Why Kendall Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Most of the calls we take from Kendall start the same way: a homeowner with a fogged seal, a slider that binds in August, or an insurance non-renewal notice tied to pre-1994 glazing. They are not shopping for the cheapest bid. They want someone who knows the difference between a Florida Statewide Product Approval and a Miami-Dade NOA, because that difference has stopped permitted jobs in their tracks before. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still sits on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We hold to it on every install from The Hammocks to Kendall West.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before leaving. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen lines including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, PGT, and CGI. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship with no paperwork fights and no arguing. Kendall homeowners have come to expect that from us, and we intend to keep earning it.

Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall
Kendall’s housing stock is overwhelmingly concrete-block-and-stucco ranch construction from the 1960s through the late 1980s. The original aluminum single-pane windows and wide sliding glass door openings are now 40 to 60 years old. Here is what we do about it, service by service.
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for TruePane in Kendall, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass, Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, and design pressures matched to each opening keep your house sealed when it matters. We never rate an opening above the design pressure the project actually requires, and we never sell a unit that lacks the Miami-Dade paperwork Kendall demands. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Kendall.
Window Installation
Installation in Kendall means working within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which is not the same as working in Broward. We pull whatever permits the job requires, set each unit true, and register the warranty layers before we leave. Learn more about our Window Installation in Kendall.
Window Replacement
Kendall’s mix of post-Andrew partial replacements means many homes have one or two impact-rated units alongside original non-impact frames. That patchwork fails the whole-home standard insurers want to see. We replace the entire run correctly, not piecemeal. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Kendall.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and impact-rated entry systems need to seat square in a CBS wall and seal against humidity and wind-driven rain. Our door installations come with the same Keystone Standard as our window work. Learn more about our door installation in Kendall.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Wide sliders are the signature feature of 1970s and 1980s Kendall floor plans. The original aluminum tracks corrode, the rollers wear, and the glass is rarely impact-rated. We replace the full assembly, not just the panel, so the door glides and the opening meets code. Learn more about our sliding and patio door work in Kendall.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated units cut heat gain and UV damage in a climate where the sun works on your frames year-round. Kendall homeowners who replace old single-pane aluminum typically see meaningful cooling load reductions, though we keep our claims honest: expect 20 to 30 percent on the cooling side, not more. Learn more about our energy-efficient window options in Kendall.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest opening in most Kendall homes, and a non-rated one is a weak point in any wind-mitigation inspection. We install impact-rated garage doors that carry the same NOA documentation as our windows. Learn more about our impact garage doors in Kendall.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arched tops, half-rounds, and angled openings were common in Kendall’s split-level and Mediterranean-influenced builds. We fabricate custom units to match the exact opening, including non-standard angles and specialty glass. Learn more about our custom and geometric window work in Kendall.
Roof Repair
Kendall’s wind and rain find their way into flashing and underlayment faster than most markets. Our roof repair crew works on shingle, tile, and metal systems across Kendall, and we coordinate roof and window work when a single storm damaged both. Learn more about our roof repair services in Kendall.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Kendall needs to meet Miami-Dade’s wind-load standards and integrate with the glazing below it. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing with the same permitting discipline as our window work. Learn more about our roof replacement and installation in Kendall.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Each system has its own fastening pattern, underlayment, and code path in Kendall. Shingle is common on older ranch homes, tile on the Mediterranean styles, and metal on a growing share of replacements. We install all three. Learn more about our shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Kendall.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Kendall
We work throughout Kendall and the surrounding area, from the established blocks near Killian Drive to the newer sections west of the Turnpike. Typical response for estimates is one to three business days, and our crews arrive when they say they will.

Why Kendall’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendall is roughly 15 miles inland from Biscayne Bay, but Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation applies the same design wind speed requirements as oceanfront property. Add year-round humidity above 80 percent and relentless UV, and you get the specific failure pattern we see on Kendall service calls: aging aluminum frames that corrode at the corners, non-stainless hardware that seizes, and insulated glass units that lose their seal years earlier than they would in Central or North Florida. These are not cosmetic issues. A fogged pane means the seal is gone, the gas fill is gone, and the window is doing nothing for your cooling bill or your insurance premium.
Hurricane Andrew cut directly through this part of Miami-Dade in August 1992. The rebuild that followed updated some openings but rarely all of them, so Kendall is full of mixed-glazing houses where one or two impact-rated units sit beside original non-impact frames from the 1970s. Insurers and wind-mitigation inspectors look at the whole house, not the newest window. A full impact upgrade is the dominant driver of nearly every sales conversation we have in Kendall, and the local housing stock makes that conversation necessary.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Kendall
We quote every job as a line item on paper, so you see the unit cost, the labor, the permit fees, and the disposal separately. Nothing is hidden in the total. Impact window replacements in Kendall generally run from $900 to $2,800 per opening depending on size, glass package, and frame material. Impact sliding glass doors typically fall between $3,500 and $8,500 for the full assembly and installation. Entry door replacements with impact ratings start around $2,200. Custom and geometric units run higher because the fabrication is specific to your opening. Call (561) 956-2754 for a free estimate on your exact scope, and ask about the $50-off-any-repair-over-$250 offer and the permanent 5 percent discount for seniors and veterans.
Florida Pays Kendall Homeowners Back
Kendall homeowners doing impact upgrades have access to several programs, and we want you to know what they are without overpromising what they will pay. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, which includes impact windows and doors for homes that pass the required inspection. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying efficient units, applied as 30 percent of the product cost. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), most Kendall homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, not us, so we make no guarantees. We help you document the work so you can claim what you qualify for.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you when someone is home to close them, and they do nothing for daily energy use, noise, or UV damage. Impact windows are always on. There is no panel to haul out of the garage in September, no track to maintain, and no insurance discount for a system sitting on a shelf. We install impact windows. We do not sell or install shutters, but we will tell you plainly why Kendall homeowners increasingly choose glass over panels.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall
Impact windows in Kendall typically run $900 to $2,800 per opening for a full replacement, installed, depending on size, frame material, and the glass package. A complete home with 8 to 12 openings usually lands between $10,000 and $28,000 before any grant or insurance credits are applied. Call (561) 956-2754 for a written line-item quote on your specific openings, and ask about the senior and veteran discount. Estimates are free.
Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance system is more stringent than the Florida Statewide Product Approval used in most of the state, and Kendall falls under Miami-Dade jurisdiction. A window with Florida Statewide approval cannot legally be installed here without a separate Miami-Dade NOA number. That distinction has halted permitted jobs mid-installation when the wrong product was ordered, which is why we verify the NOA on every unit before it ships to a Kendall home.
Yes, in almost every case. Miami-Dade requires permits for window and door replacements, and the product must carry the right NOA documentation to pass inspection. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure the paperwork is in order before the truck leaves. If you are getting quotes, ask every contractor whether permits are included in the price. They should be.
Once your units arrive, most openings are installed as fast as a single day. Custom fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery. We measure twice, order the right NOA-rated product, and schedule the install when everything is staged. Permitting and inspections add a few days on either side, and we handle both. Call (561) 956-2754 and we will give you a realistic timeline for your job.
In most cases, yes, but the final number comes from your carrier. After a wind-mitigation inspection costing $75 to $150, Kendall homeowners typically see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of the policy. Impact windows are also eligible for the My Safe Florida Home grant and the Florida sales tax exemption. We document the work so your inspector and your insurer can verify it.

What Kendall Customers Say
"Quote was the price, which after three other bids that grew legs was worth something. Double-hungs went in clean, they hauled the old ones, and the registration paperwork for the warranty came in the mail like they said."
- Dorothy K."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."
