Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Kendall
Impact window and door replacement in Kendall typically runs $850-$2,400 per opening depending on size, glazing specification, and whether the original frame needs structural reinforcement. Most Kendall homes built before 1994 require Miami-Dade NOA-certified products and county permitting through DERM, adding documentation steps that inexperienced crews miss. Call (786) 321-9118 to schedule your free measured survey - we bring the written price with us, and it doesn’t change.
We serve Kendall from our Miami office, with crews running daily routes through The Hammocks, Kendale Lakes, and The Crossings. That local density means we know the county permit path, the HVHZ inspection stations, and the specific failure modes of 1980s CBS ranch stock without mapping it from scratch on every job. Our Impact Windows & Doors team has documented every opening of the 18,000+ we’ve installed since 2012 - measured survey, written scope, photo record, warranty.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Kendall

Impact-Resistant Windows
Every impact-resistant window we specify for Kendall carries Miami-Dade NOA approval on file with the county - not Florida Product Approval alone, which doesn’t satisfy DERM for unincorporated Miami-Dade. We measure frame depth, wall thickness, and structural attachment points on site; the quote reflects actual reinforcement needs, not a per-square-foot guess. For the CBS ranch homes that dominate Kendall’s subdivisions, that often means anchoring into existing concrete block with epoxy-set fasteners rated for the full HVHZ wind load.

Hurricane Impact Windows
Hurricane impact windows in Kendall face the same 175+ mph design pressure as waterfront properties in Coconut Grove, despite sitting 12-15 miles inland. The Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone doesn’t ease up for inland zip codes. We specify laminated glass interlayers and reinforced frames tested to that threshold, then document the installation with the photo record your wind mitigation inspector and insurance underwriter will want to see.

Single Hung Impact Windows
Single hung impact windows are the workhorse replacement for Kendall’s original aluminum single-pane vertical sliders - common in bedrooms, hallways, and secondary spaces throughout Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks. The fixed upper sash and operable lower sash match the sightlines of existing units while adding impact-rated laminated glazing and thermally broken frames. We see these specified most often where homeowners want to maintain exterior appearance consistency across a street-facing facade.

Double Hung Impact Windows
Double hung impact windows suit Kendall homes where both sashes need to operate - second-story bedrooms, rooms with limited exterior access, or anywhere cross-ventilation matters. The tilt-in feature on modern units also matters for cleaning, since many Kendall ranch homes have windows behind shrub lines that matured decades ago. We measure the rough opening, check for plumb in the existing block, and quote any frame modification needed to accommodate the deeper impact-rated unit.

Horizontal Roller & Sliding Impact Windows
Horizontal roller and sliding impact windows replace the aluminum sliding glass walls that defined 1980s Kendall living rooms. Original units are typically undersized for current HVHZ loads, with hollow-core frames and non-impact glass that fails under thunderstorm pressure differentials - long before a named storm. We specify PGT or ViewLux horizontal rollers with reinforced interlocks and multi-point locking, sized to the actual rough opening with NOA documentation for the exact width and height.

Wind Mitigation & HVHZ Code Compliance
Wind mitigation and HVHZ code compliance is where most Kendall jobs start - not with aesthetics, but with an insurance non-renewal or a mortgagee requirement. We pull the county permit, install to Miami-Dade NOA specification, pass inspection on every opening, and produce the documented evidence for your wind mitigation form. In Kendale Lakes we replaced original aluminum single-pane sliders and jalousie bathroom windows on a 1980 CBS ranch with PGT impact-rated glazing carrying full Miami-Dade NOA - pulling the county permit, passing HVHZ inspection on every opening, and producing the wind mitigation report that got the homeowner a Statutory 627.0629 windstorm credit. Same homeowner was facing a non-renewal notice because the jalousies voided wind coverage; new laminated glass interlayer units cleared both the inspection and the underwriting review.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We specify from eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - chosen by performance tier and price range, not by what we have in stock. For Kendall’s pre-1994 CBS ranch stock, we typically draw PGT for horizontal rollers and sliding walls, ViewLux for geometric and custom openings, and Therma-Tru for impact-rated entry door systems. Every product carries current Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and we verify it against your specific opening dimensions before the permit application goes to DERM. No surprises at inspection.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes

- Jalousie windows void wind coverage. Homes throughout Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks still have jalousie windows in bathrooms, utility rooms, and secondary bedrooms - a 1970s-80s South Florida staple that is entirely non-impact-rated and automatically voids wind coverage under most current Miami-Dade homeowner policies. Swapping them out is often the first call we get from a homeowner who just got a non-renewal notice.
- Original sliding glass doors fail under pressure differentials. Non-impact hollow-core sliding glass doors undersized for current HVHZ wind loads fail under design pressure during afternoon thunderstorm pressure differentials, long before a named storm. The frame flexes, the seal breaches, and the homeowner discovers the problem when water enters or the door won’t lock properly.
- Vendors quote without verified NOA documentation. Contractors quote impact windows without verifying Miami-Dade NOA on file for each product and opening size - county inspection rejects the permit and the crew has to pull non-compliant units off the truck. We check NOA status against your measured rough opening before quoting; the permit application includes the documentation.
- Dual-pane seal failure from UV and humidity cycling. Kendall’s intense UV radiation and near-daily summer humidity cycles degrade dual-pane seals and door weatherstripping significantly faster than anywhere in North or Central Florida. Fogged glass, frame condensation, and degraded weatherstripping are annual maintenance calls we make throughout The Crossings and The Hammocks.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall, FL
Impact window replacement in Kendall runs $850-$1,650 per opening for standard single and double hung units in existing block frames without structural modification.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall

We pull the permit through Miami-Dade County DERM as part of every installation - you don’t file it yourself. Our scope includes permit application, NOA documentation submission, scheduling inspection, and passing it. Call (786) 321-9118 to schedule your free measured survey; we’ll handle the county paperwork.
Yes - jalousie windows are non-impact-rated and automatically void wind coverage under most current Miami-Dade homeowner policies. We’ve replaced jalousies in Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks for homeowners who received non-renewal notices specifically citing them. Impact-rated replacement units with Miami-Dade NOA restore insurability and qualify for Statutory 627.0629 windstorm credits. Call (786) 321-9118 for a free estimate on replacement.
Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is a product-specific approval filed with the county, verifying that exact window or door model passed HVHZ testing for windborne debris and pressure - Florida Product Approval is a broader state listing that doesn’t satisfy Miami-Dade DERM. Kendall sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade, not a city, so every replacement opening must carry Miami-Dade NOA on file before the county will issue a permit. Broward County doesn’t enforce this standard. That’s why a contractor quoting “Florida-approved” products without verified NOA documentation will fail inspection in Kendall. Call (786) 321-9118 and we’ll verify NOA status for your specific openings.
Most Kendall homeowners see utility reduction of 15-30% after full replacement of original aluminum single-pane units, with payback periods of 7-12 years depending on home size, shading, and HVAC efficiency. The more immediate return is insurance: wind mitigation credits from Statutory 627.0629 often save $500-$1,500 annually on premiums, and eliminating jalousie or non-impact voided coverage can prevent policy non-renewal entirely. Call (786) 321-9118 for a free measured survey and written quote - we’ll document the expected performance on your scope.
Miami-Dade DERM won’t issue a permit for impact window or door replacement without current NOA documentation for each specific product and opening size - it’s a hard stop in the county’s electronic permitting system. We verify NOA status during the measured survey and attach the documentation to the permit application before scheduling. Contractors who skip this step discover the rejection when the inspector arrives. Call (786) 321-9118; we handle the verification and permitting as standard scope, not an add-on.
