Windows & Doors Services in Kendall - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Windows & Doors Services in Kendall, FL

Impact windows and door replacement in Kendall typically runs $850-$1,400 per opening installed, with whole-home projects on a 1970s CBS ranch usually landing between $14,000 and $28,000 before any incentive credits. Most Kendall homeowners we talk to are replacing 30-to-50-year-old aluminum frames that no longer meet Miami-Dade’s post-Andrew code, not chasing a single broken pane. Call (863) 862-5435 and you’ll reach a live person who can tell you what actually applies to your street in Kendall, not a call center reading from a script.

Kendall’s housing stock has a rhythm to it. Long, flat streets. CBS ranch homes from the Carter and Reagan years. Garden condos tucked behind ficus hedges. And almost uniformly, windows that were installed when the building went up and haven’t been touched since. That’s not neglect, it’s just how Kendall was built: fast, in big tracts, with materials that made sense in 1983 and make no sense in 2026. When you’re ready to change that, we’re the ones down the road.

Why Kendall Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors

Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not a slogan. It’s an accountability structure. When a homeowner in Continental Park or West Kendall calls us about a window that’s fogging or a sliding door that’s seized in its track, they’re not getting a ticket number or a three-day callback window. They get a real person on the phone, 24/7, and a crew that shows up in uniform with a background check already on file.

We’ve been doing this since 2011, and Kendall homeowners keep calling for the same reasons. The published address and license number mean there’s nowhere to hide. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right, no fine print, no arbitration clause. And the pricing is upfront, with no surprises on the invoice, which matters in a market where a missing permit can turn a $12,000 quote into an $18,000 nightmare.

Neighborhoods we know well include the corridor along Kendall Drive from roughly SW 97th Avenue west past the turnpike, the tree-lined streets of the Continental Park area south of Miller, and the townhome clusters off Sunset Drive.

Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall

Impact Windows

Impact windows are the flagship line for Kendall because Miami-Dade code makes them the law, not a luxury. Every opening in your home sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means laminated impact glass, a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, and design pressures matched to each opening. We install CGI, CWS, and ES Windows products, each with design pressure ratings that never exceed +/-100 PSF because no residential opening in Kendall requires more.

Window Installation

A window that’s out of square because the original aluminum frame has corroded for 40 years can’t simply be swapped for a same-size replacement. We measure the rough opening, check the buck framing, and make sure the new unit sits true before sealant ever touches the stucco. Installation is as fast as a single day once your units arrive, but custom fabrication runs 4-6 weeks, so we set expectations honestly up front.

Window Replacement

Most Kendall replacements start with a single-failed unit and end with a full-home plan once the homeowner sees the price logic. Replacing all the windows on a 1,800-square-foot CBS ranch at once costs less per opening than doing it piecemeal over five years, and it solves the mismatch problem where some windows meet code and some don’t. We walk through what’s worth doing now and what can wait.

Door Installation

Front entry doors, side doors, and the heavy swinging doors that separate a garage from a laundry room all carry wind-load requirements in Kendall that a big-box door simply doesn’t meet. We install Therma-Tru entry systems and impact-rated doors that are tested to the same code as your windows.

Sliding Glass & Patio Doors

If your Kendall home has a slider facing the backyard, it’s probably the largest unprotected glass surface on the property. Impact-rated sliders from CGI and ES Windows use the same laminated glass as our impact windows, with the added bonus of a track and frame that won’t bow after 20 years of use. We can usually swap a standard 6-foot or 8-foot slider without reframing the opening.

Energy-Efficient Windows

In Kendall’s year-round UV and 90% summer humidity, a Low-E coating and a tight seal do real work. Homeowners typically see cooling savings in the 20-30% range, less strain on the air handler, and a house that stops feeling like a terrarium by 4 p.m. The energy savings are a bonus on top of the code compliance.

Impact Garage Doors

The garage door is the single biggest weak point in a hurricane-rated home. A braced impact garage door keeps the roof from pressurizing and lifting off. It’s the least glamorous upgrade in Kendall, and one of the most important.

Custom & Geometric Windows

The 1980s tract homes of Kendall love a good half-moon or radius window, and so do the newer builds out near West Kendall. We can match those shapes with impact-rated units, which is where a lot of installers quietly bow out. We don’t.

Roof Repair

Windows and doors are the skin, but the roof is the lid. If a leak at the fascia is dropping water onto your new window trim, fixing the window doesn’t fix the problem. We do both.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A new roof and new impact windows work together. The roof anchors the wind-load system; the windows keep the envelope sealed. We can bundle the work so you’re not coordinating two contractors on one dumpster.

Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing

Kendall’s older subdivisions lean heavily on concrete tile and shingle, and we handle both. The important thing is that the roofing meets the same HVHZ standard as the windows. One weak link and the whole system is compromised.

Why Kendall’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors

Kendall sits inland, so homeowners here don’t fight the oceanfront salt spray that eats through frames on Key Biscayne or Miami Beach. What Kendall does fight is something slower but just as destructive: 30 to 50 years of subtropical UV, 90% summer humidity, and daily afternoon rain that finds every failed seal. The original aluminum frames from the 1970s and 1980s tract boom are oxidizing in place. The single-pane glass is sweating. The weatherstripping on the front door has turned to crumb.

And because every square foot of Kendall falls inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the wind-load requirement for a window on SW 88th Street is the same as for a condo on Collins Avenue. That surprises a lot of homeowners who’ve priced windows in Orlando or Tampa and expect the same number here. It’s not the same. A Kendall replacement must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, which rules out standard big-box windows entirely. Every job we do in Kendall is an impact-rated job, because the code says it has to be.

Comparison: Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Kendall

We don’t sell or install hurricane shutters, so this comparison is offered the way a neighbor would offer it, not a pitch. Shutters cost less up front, maybe half as much per opening. But someone has to put them up before every storm, take them down after, and find a place to store them for the other 360 days a year. Impact windows are permanent. The protection is always in place, including on the Tuesday afternoon in September when a feeder band spins up with 20 minutes’ warning and you’re stuck at work. For Kendall homeowners who aren’t home every time a watch is posted, the permanent option is the one that actually protects the house. On resale, impact windows also answer the inspection questions before they’re asked, pre-1993 aluminum frames don’t.

Pricing for Windows & Doors in Kendall

Florida Pays Kendall Homeowners Back

The incentive stack matters here, because these are real programs with real money behind them. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 toward qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which costs roughly $75-$150, most Kendall homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy.

We can’t guarantee what your insurer or the state will approve, those numbers come from the programs and carriers themselves. But we’ll point you to every credit that applies so nothing’s left on the table.

Typical response time for an estimate anywhere in the Kendall area is a few days, and we’re often already working a job one street over.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall

How much does it cost to replace windows in Kendall, FL?

A typical Kendall window replacement costs $850-$1,400 per opening installed, which means a full home on a CBS ranch from the 1970s or 1980s usually lands between $14,000 and $28,000 before incentives. The variables are size, brand, and design pressure requirements, not hidden fees. Call (863) 862-5435 for an exact quote on your specific openings.

Do Kendall homes need impact windows or can I install standard windows?

Every replacement window in Kendall must meet Miami-Dade HVHZ code, which means a Notice of Acceptance and impact-rated glass. Standard big-box windows don’t qualify, and installing them will fail inspection and potentially void your insurance. We only install products that are approved for this exact wind zone.

Will the price change once the work starts?

No. We quote a fixed price with a written line-item breakdown before any work begins, and there are no change orders unless you request additional work. The number on the estimate is the number on the final invoice. That’s the whole point of upfront pricing.

Do you pull the permits for window and door replacement in Kendall?

Yes. Miami-Dade permits and inspections are part of the job, not an optional line item. We handle permits, schedule inspections, and make sure the final product notice is filed. If a window or door is going in, it’s going in legally.

How long does window replacement take in Kendall?

Once your custom units arrive from the manufacturer, installation is typically as fast as a single day for a standard-size opening, and a full-home project usually runs three to five working days. The lead time is in fabrication: custom impact windows run 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. We’ll give you a real schedule, not a promise we can’t keep. Call (863) 862-5435 to get started.
