We know the houses here. The concrete-block-and-stucco tracts off Kendall Drive, the wide sliding-door openings on 1970s split-levels, the jalousie windows still hanging on in original frames. 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. It applies to every opening we touch in Kendall.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Impact Windows Company

We have spent over 42 years learning what hurricane wind does to aging aluminum frames, and Kendall’s housing stock gives us plenty to study. Homes here were built fast between the 1960s and late 1980s, and when Hurricane Andrew cut through in August 1992, it left behind a strange patchwork: some owners replaced a few windows with early impact units, others replaced none, and very few replaced everything. That mixed-glazing reality is exactly what we walk into on most Kendall estimates.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before ordering anything. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, under The Keystone Standard. No paperwork fights. No arguing. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is simple: if it is not done right, we make it right.

You will reach a live person when you call, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. When a Kendall homeowner needs an answer about a Miami-Dade NOA number or a window that is fogged between the panes, someone picks up and speaks plain English. That is how we have kept customers in Kendall calling us for years.

Our Impact Windows Services in Kendall

Whole-Home Impact Window Replacement on CBS Ranch and Split-Level Frames

Kendall is overwhelmingly concrete-block-and-stucco construction, which means every impact window we set has to anchor into masonry, not wood framing. That changes the fastener schedule, the flashing detail, and the way we order the window itself. We quote the full opening package, not just the glass, so the unit seats square and drains properly the first time.

Sliding Glass Door Impact Conversion with Miami-Dade NOA

Those wide aluminum sliders on the back of a 1970s Kendall split-level are often the weakest point in the whole wind-mitigation picture. Replacing a non-impact slider with a large-missile-rated unit is one of the highest-value moves you can make for both storm protection and the insurer’s whole-home standard. We spec every door with its Miami-Dade NOA number confirmed before we order anything.

Jalousie-to-Impact-Window Retrofits on Original Openings

A surprising number of Kendall homes still have jalousie windows somewhere, usually in a laundry room or a back porch enclosure. They leak air, they corrode, and they do nothing against wind-borne debris. We pull the old frames clean and set impact-rated units into the existing rough opening where framing allows, which keeps the stucco work minimal and the cost reasonable.

Detached Garage, Shop, and ADU Impact Upgrades on Acreage

Kendall has a good share of acreage properties, particularly off SW 112th Street and along the western edges of the community, with detached garages, workshops, and accessory dwelling units that need the same NOA-rated protection as the main house. County permitting and setbacks on well and septic lines change the scope. We walk the lot, check the records, and quote it correctly the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Kendall homes we lean on PGT, CGI, and ES Windows when the job calls for large-missile-rated laminated glass with a low-E coating and a low solar heat gain coefficient. Our team pulls the Miami-Dade NOA for every configuration before you sign anything. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. Parts for common Kendall installations are kept in local inventory where practical, which shortens turnaround when a hardware replacement comes up.

Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Mixed glazing from post-Andrew partial replacements. One or two impact units from 1993 or 1994 next to original single-pane aluminum frames. The house does not meet the whole-home wind-mitigation standard, and the insurance premium credit never materializes.
• Jalousie windows still in service on CBS ranch homes. They were common on Kendall builds into the early 1980s, and by now the aluminum louvers are warped, the hinges are corroded, and they cannot stop wind-driven rain or debris.
• Failed IGUs from 80% humidity and year-round UV. Kendall’s climate ages insulated glass units faster than most of Florida. A fogged seal is not cosmetic; it means the gas fill is gone and the thermal performance is dead.
• Products with only Florida Statewide Product Approval. If a window or door does not carry a separate Miami-Dade NOA number, it cannot legally be installed in Kendall. A permitted job halts mid-installation, and the homeowner is stuck until the right product arrives.

Pricing for Impact Windows in Kendall, FL

What Impact Windows Costs in Kendall

On a typical Kendall split-level with a dozen openings, a full impact window and sliding door replacement lands in the $12,000 to $20,000 range for mid-grade PGT or CGI units with low-E laminated glass. Smaller ranches with eight or nine openings run closer to $8,000 to $14,000. Custom window walls or tall openings push toward the $25,000 mark and beyond. The Miami-Dade HVHZ wind zone applies to every lot in Kendall, even though you are roughly 15 miles inland from Biscayne Bay, so design pressures are the same as oceanfront property. That is non-negotiable code, and it should be. We will measure every opening, confirm the NOA numbers, and hand you a quote with every line item written down.

Florida Pays You Back

There are state and federal programs that can offset the cost of impact windows in Kendall. My Safe Florida Home has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many Kendall homeowners see a windstorm-premium credit that averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. These programs have their own rules and budgets, and the final numbers come from the insurer or the program administrator, not from us. What we can do is make sure the installation qualifies in the first place, which is where the whole-home requirement comes in.

One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters do a job, but they require someone to be home, someone to climb a ladder, and someone to store panels eleven months of the year. Impact windows work all the time, every day, without any action from you. For an aging homeowner in Kendall who wants to stay put, that permanent protection is the difference that matters. We do not sell or install shutters; we just tell you the truth about what each option does.

Why Kendall’s NOA Rule Changes Everything

Every impact window installed in Kendall must carry a Miami-Dade NOA number in addition to Florida Statewide Product Approval. That is a distinction contractors coming down from Broward or up from Collier get wrong regularly. A product that is perfectly legal in Fort Lauderdale cannot be legally installed here without that separate Miami-Dade acceptance number. We pull the NOA for every configuration before we order, because a permitted job that halts mid-installation is a mess nobody needs, and because the mixed-glazing patchwork left over from post-Andrew partial replacements means many Kendall homes fail the whole-home wind-mitigation standard that triggers insurer premium credits. Fixing that is not optional if you want the discount. We know that, and we quote accordingly.

On a 1970s CBS ranch off SW 112th Street, our tech found three PGT impact units added after Hurricane Andrew but the original jalousie windows and a non-impact sliding glass door still in place. The aluminum jambs were corroded and the insulated glass units had failed. We pulled the Miami-Dade NOAs for every replacement, spec’d large-missile-rated laminated glass with low-E coating and a solar heat gain coefficient under 0.25, and swapped the entire opening package so the home finally qualified as a fully protected structure under Florida Statute 627.0629 for wind-mitigation credits. That is what a complete job looks like in Kendall.

Building on Kendall Acreage: Setbacks, Permitting, and Scope

A good portion of Kendall’s acreage properties sit under county permitting jurisdiction, not city, which means the paperwork and inspection path is different than a standard in-town replacement. Well and septic setbacks can limit how we stage materials and where a dumpster can sit. Long material hauls to the western edges of Kendall add logistics cost if we are not careful. And on open lots with clay-heavy fill and a shallow water table, grading and drainage around a new sliding door opening matter more than a homeowner might expect. A poorly graded replacement opening or an undersized header around a wide slider can lead to frame sag, jamb racking, and water intrusion at the sill within two wet seasons. We scope all of this before we quote, because nobody wants a change order after the first rain.

Whether you are replacing windows on the main house or adding impact protection to a detached shop, a guest house, or an ADU, the same NOA rules apply to every structure on the lot. County code does not care that it is just a workshop. We pull the permits, coordinate the inspections, and register both warranty layers before we leave.
