Windows & Doors in Kendall, FL
Window installation in Kendall, FL typically costs $650-$1,400 per opening for standard vinyl or aluminum units, and $1,800-$3,200 for impact-rated replacements with a Miami-Dade NOA. Most full-home retrofits on the area’s 1970s-1990s concrete-block stock run 12-20 openings and are completed in 2-3 days with permits pulled and inspections passed. We’re Sightline Windows & Doors, and we measure every opening to the sixteenth before we write a price you can hold in your hand. Call (786) 400-2761 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Kendall Homes Are Different
Kendall sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, where sustained design wind speeds exceed 175 mph and every window or door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance - a parallel approval system that rejects even Florida Product Approved items if they lack the county-specific NOA number. Contractors who spec statewide-approved impact products without this local tier routinely fail inspection.
The housing stock is overwhelmingly CBS construction from the 1970s through early 1990s: Dadeland-area townhomes, The Crossings subdivisions, and the single-family blocks near Kendall Drive and SW 117th Avenue built before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the code. Original aluminum jalousie windows, untempered sliding glass doors, and hollow-core entry doors remain common. Year-round humidity above 80% accelerates glazing-seal failure and frame corrosion, shortening replacement cycles compared to inland Florida markets. The defining job type here is not aesthetic upgrade; it’s HVHZ-compliant impact-rated retrofit.
Before
AfterOur Main Kendall Services
Kendall homeowners call us most often for full-frame impact replacement and patio door upgrades on pre-1993 homes. These three services have dedicated Kendall pages with deeper technical detail:
Window Replacement in Kendall
We replace original single-pane aluminum and early vinyl units across Kendall’s 1970s-1990s subdivisions, from The Hammocks to Dadeland, with impact-rated or energy-efficient alternatives specified to the opening’s exact rough-opening dimensions and structural load. Every replacement begins with a measured survey you keep, and the written quote matches that document exactly. Window Replacement in Kendall covers permit handling, NOA verification, and inspection scheduling for your specific project.
Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall
Impact-rated installation is the majority of our Kendall work, driven by HVHZ requirements and insurance discounts that many carriers now mandate. We specify PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows products with active Miami-Dade NOA numbers, not just Florida Product Approval, because county inspectors here check the NOA database at rough-in. Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall details our verification process and manufacturer tiers.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall
Kendall’s original 6-foot and 8-foot sliding glass doors from the 1980s and early 1990s lack impact ratings and often run on corroded aluminum tracks in the humid climate. We replace these with multi-panel impact-rated sliders or French door configurations, measured to the existing header and sill conditions. Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall covers frame types, track systems, and hardware finishes.

Window Installation in Kendall
Window installation in Kendall means working within the HVHZ’s 175+ mph wind-load requirements on concrete-block homes built before impact-rated products existed. The typical job replaces 12-20 original aluminum or early vinyl units with NOA-certified impact or energy-efficient alternatives, and the measured survey must account for block-wall rough openings that vary by a half-inch or more from original plans. We handle Miami-Dade permitting and inspection as standard, not as an add-on. Our Window Installation hub explains the full measured-survey process.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Original single-pane aluminum single hungs that rattle in wind, show condensation between failed thermal breaks, or no longer hold position when opened.
What it costs in Kendall
Standard vinyl single hungs run $650-$980 per opening installed; impact-rated single or double hungs with Miami-Dade NOA range $1,800-$2,800.
How we do it
We measure rough opening to finished drywall, verify block-wall anchor spacing, install with HVHZ-approved fastening pattern, and seal with backer rod and structural sealant before county inspection.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
Aluminum rollers that jam in their tracks, show frame corrosion at the sill, or were never impact-rated and carry no NOA documentation.
What it costs in Kendall
Standard horizontal rollers cost $720-$1,100 per opening; impact-rated units with laminated glass and reinforced frames run $1,900-$3,000.
How we do it
We record existing track depth and sill slope, specify replacement with matching or improved drainage geometry, and install with continuous sill pan flashing per Miami-Dade HVHZ detail.
What Window Installation Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Standard vinyl single hung (non-impact) | $650 - $980 |
| Impact-rated single/double hung | $1,800 - $2,800 |
| Impact-rated horizontal roller | $1,900 - $3,000 |
How long does window installation take in Kendall?
A typical 15-opening home takes 2-3 days of installation after permit approval, with Miami-Dade inspection scheduled for the morning of day three or four. Call (786) 400-2761 for a measured survey and written timeline.
Do you handle permits for window replacement in Kendall?
Yes - we pull the Miami-Dade building permit, schedule inspection, and verify every product’s NOA number before ordering. The permit cost is itemized in your written quote, not buried. Call (786) 400-2761 to review the permit scope.
Door Installation in Kendall
Door installation in Kendall confronts the same HVHZ reality as windows: pre-1993 homes commonly have hollow-core or non-rated entry doors, and untempered sliding glass doors that fail current impact and safety codes. Insurance carriers writing in Miami-Dade increasingly require documented impact-rated entry protection, making door replacement a coverage issue, not just a comfort upgrade. Our Door Installation hub covers jamb conditions, threshold detailing, and hardware specifications.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Non-rated wood or fiberglass entry door with no impact certification, visible frame rot at the sill, or insurer notice requiring HVHZ-compliant entry protection.
What it costs in Kendall
Impact-rated fiberglass or steel entry door systems with NOA-approved frame and hardware run $2,400-$4,500 installed, depending on sidelite configuration and finish.
How we do it
We measure the existing jamb depth against block-wall thickness, specify Therma-Tru or comparable NOA-certified system with proper anchor pattern, and install with continuous sill pan and three-point locking hardware.
French & Double Doors
Signs you need it
Original French doors with untempered glass, non-impact-rated frames, or failed weatherstripping that leaks driving rain during summer storms.
What it costs in Kendall
Impact-rated French door pairs with laminated glass and reinforced stiles range $3,200-$5,800, with multi-point hardware and adjustable hinges included.
How we do it
We verify header load capacity for the wider rough opening, install with composite or aluminum frame rated to HVHZ pressures, and adjust swing geometry for positive latch engagement at all three lock points.
What Door Installation Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Impact-rated entry door system | $2,400 - $4,500 |
| Impact-rated French door pair | $3,200 - $5,800 |
| Standard replacement patio slider (non-impact) | $1,400 - $2,400 |
Can I replace just the door slab and keep my frame in Kendall?
Usually no - HVHZ impact ratings apply to the complete door and frame assembly, and Miami-Dade inspectors verify the NOA matches the installed system, not just the slab. Call (786) 400-2761 for a frame condition assessment.
What door brands do you install in Kendall?
We specify Therma-Tru for entry systems and PGT, CGI, or CWS for impact-rated patio and French configurations, chosen by performance tier and price range, not inventory position. Call (786) 400-2761 to review manufacturer options.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Kendall
Energy-efficient windows in Kendall compete with a climate where air conditioning runs ten months a year and humidity attacks glazing seals from the outside. The payback calculation changes when original single-pane aluminum units leak conditioned air and create condensation trails down block walls. Our Energy-Efficient Windows hub explains U-factor, SHGC, and visible transmittance ratings in the context of Miami-Dade’s cooling-dominated load.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Single-pane or clear-glass double-pane units with no low-emissivity coating, causing excessive solar heat gain and faded flooring near south- and west-facing openings.
What it costs in Kendall
Low-E coated, argon-filled insulated units in standard vinyl frames run $780-$1,200 per opening; impact-rated low-E systems with laminated outer lite range $2,000-$3,200.
How we do it
We specify coating location by climate zone - surface #2 or #3 for cooling-dominated Miami-Dade - and verify argon fill retention through manufacturer certification.
ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
Signs you need it
Windows that fail to meet current ENERGY STAR Southern Climate Zone criteria, or utility bills that spike during July-September despite consistent thermostat settings.
What it costs in Kendall
ENERGY STAR certified vinyl replacement windows with low-E and argon fill cost $850-$1,350 per opening; impact-rated ENERGY STAR qualified units run $2,100-$3,400.
How we do it
We match the NFRC label U-factor and SHGC to your home’s orientation and shading, document the ratings on your written quote, and register the installation for any available utility rebate.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Low-E/argon vinyl replacement | $780 - $1,200 |
| Impact-rated low-E system | $2,000 - $3,200 |
| ENERGY STAR impact-qualified unit | $2,100 - $3,400 |
Do energy-efficient windows qualify for rebates in Kendall?
Some Florida utility programs and federal tax credits apply to ENERGY STAR certified installations; we document NFRC ratings on your quote for rebate submission. Call (786) 400-2761 to verify current program eligibility.
Can I get energy efficiency without impact rating in Kendall?
Non-impact energy-efficient windows are permitted for interior replacements or protected openings, but most exterior walls in Kendall require HVHZ impact protection; we assess each opening’s exposure and code requirement during survey. Call (786) 400-2761 for opening-by-opening evaluation.
Impact Garage Doors in Kendall
Impact garage doors in Kendall are increasingly required as insurers tighten wind mitigation requirements for attached garage openings, which are often the largest unprotected surface on pre-1993 homes. Original non-rated steel or wood panel doors fail HVHZ standards and can pressurize the structure during a storm event. Our Impact Garage Doors hub covers wind-load ratings, track reinforcement, and opener compatibility.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Non-rated garage door on attached garage, insurance renewal notice requiring wind mitigation upgrade, or door that visibly bows or flexes in moderate winds.
What it costs in Kendall
Hurricane-rated steel or aluminum garage doors with reinforced track and NOA documentation run $2,800-$5,500 for single-car and $4,200-$7,800 for double-car openings, installed.
How we do it
We measure clear opening and headroom, specify wind-load-rated door with reinforced struts and heavy-duty track, and install with proper jamb anchorage to block walls per HVHZ detail.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Failed wind mitigation inspection, permit application for garage conversion or addition, or sale of home requiring updated 4-point or wind mitigation report.
What it costs in Kendall
Wind-load retrofit of existing door with reinforcement kit, upgraded track, and NOA documentation costs $1,800-$3,200; full replacement with rated door and hardware runs $2,800-$7,800 by size.
How we do it
We evaluate existing door and track capacity against required wind-load pressure, specify reinforcement or replacement with Miami-Dade NOA product, and provide documentation for inspector and insurer.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Single-car hurricane-rated door | $2,800 - $5,500 |
| Double-car hurricane-rated door | $4,200 - $7,800 |
| Wind-load retrofit of existing door | $1,800 - $3,200 |
Will a new impact garage door work with my existing opener?
Heavier hurricane-rated doors often require opener upgrade to 3/4 HP or greater with reinforced rail; we check opener capacity and headroom during survey and itemize any needed upgrade. Call (786) 400-2761 for opener compatibility review.
Do you pull permits for garage door replacement in Kendall?
Yes - Miami-Dade requires a building permit for garage door replacement when wind-load rating is part of the scope, and we schedule inspection after installation. Call (786) 400-2761 to confirm permit timeline for your project.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Kendall
Custom and geometric windows in Kendall solve the mismatch between distinctive architectural details on 1970s-1990s homes and the rectangular stock sizes most installers prefer to sell. Octagonal, arched, and trapezoidal openings in entryways and stairwells require measured templates and NOA-approved custom fabrication, not field-cut adaptations of standard units. Our Custom & Geometric Windows hub covers template accuracy, lead times, and installation sequencing.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
Original shaped window with failed seal or cracked glass, or replacement project where standard rectangular unit would alter the home’s original architectural character.
What it costs in Kendall
Custom geometric shapes in vinyl or aluminum with insulated or laminated glass range $1,400-$2,800 for fixed units; operable custom shapes with impact rating run $2,400-$4,500.
How we do it
We create a measured template on site, verify rough opening symmetry and square, and fabricate to template with NOA-approved custom program from ECO Window Systems or comparable manufacturer.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Arched top window with rotted wood frame, failed insulated glass in radius portion, or need to match existing radius in a uniform replacement project.
What it costs in Kendall
Arched or curved-top custom windows with radius fabrication and matching grid pattern cost $1,800-$3,400 for fixed units; impact-rated arched operable units range $2,800-$5,200.
How we do it
We record spring-line height, radius, and chord width, verify structural support for the arch load, and fabricate with composite or aluminum frame matched to adjacent standard units for sightline consistency.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Fixed geometric shape (octagon, trapezoid) | $1,400 - $2,800 |
| Operable custom shape with impact rating | $2,400 - $4,500 |
| Arched or curved-top custom unit | $1,800 - $5,200 |
How long do custom windows take to fabricate in Kendall?
Custom geometric units typically require 6-10 weeks from template approval to delivery, with Miami-Dade NOA verification completed before fabrication release. Call (786) 400-2761 to schedule template measurement and confirm current lead time.
Can you match custom windows to my existing standard units?
Yes - we record frame color, grid pattern, sightline dimensions, and hardware finish from adjacent windows and specify custom fabrication to match within manufacturer tolerance. Call (786) 400-2761 for a match assessment.
