We know Kendall’s housing stock because we measure it. Our crews work the CBS ranch subdivisions of Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, and The Crossings weekly - homes built between 1975 and 1995 with original aluminum sliding glass doors that were never designed for current Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone loads. Dispatch and scheduling run through our Miami office, but the technicians who arrive at your door are the same ones who worked SW 88th Street last Tuesday and SW 137th Avenue the week before. That matters when you’re sizing an impact-rated replacement on a 1981 rough opening that wasn’t built to modern tolerances.

Why Sightline Windows & Doors Tamiami Is Kendall’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company

We’ve installed and replaced sliding and patio doors on more than 600 Kendall openings since 2012, and we keep the measured survey from every one. That documentation - the frame readings, the sightline measurements, the product spec sheet - is what we hand you before any work starts. Haven Clause 1: the written price and the measured survey are the same document. No change orders, no verbal assurances.

Our Kendall customers leave reviews that mention specifics: the photo record of the rough opening before and after, the license number on the technician’s badge, the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the invoice. We don’t chase five-star ratings; we document what we did and let the record speak.

Response time to Kendall is typically next-day for measured surveys, with installation scheduled once your Miami-Dade permit is issued. For acreage properties in unincorporated county jurisdiction - the lots off SW 127th Avenue, the horse properties near The Hammocks - that permit path runs through Miami-Dade DERM/Builders, not a city department. We know that routing because we’ve pulled those permits before.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors team works exclusively with verified manufacturer lines specified by performance tier and price range: PGT and CGI for impact-rated large-missile glazing, Therma-Tru for entry systems, ViewLux for custom sizing on non-standard rough openings. Every product carries a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) - the most stringent product-approval standard in the country, required here and not in Broward County one county north.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Kendall

Patio Doors

Standard patio door replacement in Kendall runs $2,800-$4,500 for a two-panel slider in a typical CBS ranch rough opening. Most of these homes were built with hollow-core aluminum frames that flex under afternoon thunderstorm pressure differentials - we see the frame distortion in The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes every week. We specify low-E insulated glass units with warm-edge spacers and replace the sill flashing as standard scope, not an upsell.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Impact-rated sliding glass doors in Kendall start at $4,200 for a standard two-panel unit and run to $7,500+ for four-panel configurations on acreage properties with custom sizing. Every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA and meets the 175+ mph design pressure requirement that applies equally in Kendall and on the waterfront - inland location doesn’t reduce your wind load. We specify PGT and CGI lines with laminated glass interlayers; the NOA documentation travels with your permit packet.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

Replacement scope in Kendall is rarely just the door. On 1980s CBS ranch homes, we find degraded dual-pane seals, rotted weatherstripping, and sill flashing that drains toward the foundation instead of away from it. On a recent job off SW 127th Avenue near The Hammocks, we replaced an undersized hollow-core sliding glass door in a 1981 CBS ranch that had been leaking at the jamb and letting the afternoon thunderstorm pressure differential flex the aluminum frame. We set a PGT impact-rated 4-panel slider with a laminated glass interlayer and low-E insulated glass unit, re-flashed the rough opening, and re-graded the concrete apron so the track drains away from the house instead of into the septic drainfield setback. The documented photo record shows each phase.

Impact French Patio Doors

Impact French patio doors in Kendall run $5,500-$9,000 depending on panel width, hardware specification, and whether the rough opening requires structural reinforcement. These units are popular on acreage properties where the owner is replacing a standard slider with a wider opening to access a pool deck or detached ADU. Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements still apply; we engineer the header reinforcement and specify the NOA-certified unit as a single scope, not separate trades.

Screen Door Installation

Screen door replacement on existing Kendall sliders runs $380-$650. We match the screen mesh to your impact-rated glazing specification - tighter weave for pool-adjacent openings where debris is a factor, standard mesh for secondary bedrooms.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We specify from eight verified manufacturer lines, but for Kendall’s sliding and patio door work we most often reach for PGT and CGI for impact-rated large-missile glazing, Therma-Tru where the scope includes an integrated entry system, and ViewLux for custom sizes on outbuilding and detached ADU openings where off-the-shelf stock doesn’t meet egress or HVHZ requirements. We don’t stock inventory to move; we specify by what the opening requires. Parts and hardware are sourced through Miami-Dade authorized distributors, so replacement components don’t sit on a long-haul truck from out of state.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Original non-impact sliders and jalousie side panels voiding 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.
• Track rollers and sill flashing failing early on long open-lot runs. UV radiation and near-daily humidity cycles rot weatherstripping and degrade dual-pane seals significantly faster than in North or Central Florida. On acreage properties, the long exposed run between house and outbuilding accelerates the degradation - there’s no adjacent structure to break the sun or wind.
• Septic and well setbacks forcing custom sizes. County code setbacks on unincorporated Kendall acreage often mean the door location can’t shift to accommodate a standard stock slider. Off-the-shelf units miss required egress widths or can’t be configured for the HVHZ large-missile glazing that the NOA demands. We measure first, then specify from custom-order lines like ViewLux.
• Concrete apron grading draining toward the foundation. 1980s CBS ranch construction in Kendall often settled the patio door track flush with or below the surrounding concrete, so rainwater runs toward the sill instead of away from it. We re-grade as standard scope on every replacement where the photo record shows standing water at the track.
