If you live in Kendale Lakes, there’s a good chance your house still has the windows it was built with back in the 1970s or early 1980s. That means single-pane aluminum, jalousie louvers, or sliders that rattle when a truck passes. TruePane Windows & Doors serves Kendale Lakes with window and door installation, replacement, and repair, and a live person answers the phone at (813) 320-9346 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our crews know this neighborhood’s housing stock well, because we’ve worked on hundreds of these homes.

Why Kendale Lakes Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Kendale Lakes is a specific kind of place: planned subdivisions, CBS construction, mature landscaping, and homes that have been lived in for decades. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Westwood Lakes and the communities off Bird Road have been calling us for one reason above all: the work gets done right the first time, and the warranty paperwork is handled before we leave the driveway. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a glazier’s principle: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule still governs every install in Kendale Lakes. We’re insured and bonded, our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing on every job. No fine print that covers neither. No arguing.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendale Lakes
Window Installation
New construction or full replacement, we install windows level, square, and sealed. In Kendale Lakes, that means working inside Miami-Dade’s wind-load requirements on every opening. Learn more about our Window Installation in Kendale Lakes.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and side-lites set to close clean and seal tight. In this humidity, a door that binds in July was set wrong, plain and simple. Learn more about our Door Installation in Kendale Lakes.
Window Replacement
We swap out original aluminum and jalousie units for code-compliant systems sized to the existing opening. Most Kendale Lakes homes from the pre-Andrew era need full frame replacement, not insert work. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Kendale Lakes.
Impact Windows & Doors
Miami-Dade County mandates NOA-approved products in Kendale Lakes, period. We quote impact lines side by side on paper so you see what you’re paying for before you sign.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and thermally broken frames cut cooling costs in South Florida’s ten-month summer. In Kendale Lakes, the humid air pressing against your glass is relentless, and the right glass package makes a measurable difference.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Original single-track sliders from the 1970s are the first thing we look at on a Kendale Lakes walkthrough. We install multi-track impact-rated sliders that roll smooth and seal tight.
Glass Railing Systems
For pool enclosures, balconies, and second-story decks, we install frameless and semi-frameless glass railing that meets local structural requirements. We measure twice, fabricate to spec, and set posts in true alignment.
Custom Windows & Doors
Arched openings, oversized picture windows, odd-sized side-lites: we order what the opening actually needs, not what’s on a shelf. For the older Kendale Lakes floor plans with non-standard rough openings, custom is often the only correct answer.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Kendale Lakes
We work throughout Kendale Lakes, from the communities along SW 88th Street (Kendall Drive) north to Bird Road, and east toward the Turnpike. Our typical response time for a Kendale Lakes estimate visit is within one business day, and scheduled work is set around your calendar, not ours.

Why Kendale Lakes’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendale Lakes sits inside Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where design wind speeds exceed 175 mph, and the county enforces NOA compliance county-wide with no inland exemptions. The proximity to the Everglades creates persistent high humidity that accelerates frame corrosion and seal failure in non-impact aluminum windows. Most of the housing stock here went up between the late 1960s and mid-1980s, before Hurricane Andrew changed the codebook. What that means in practical terms: original aluminum double-hung and jalousie units are already tired, often fogged, and they leak conditioned air. The same humidity that rusts the hardware is what makes a properly sealed replacement work so much better. This is not a generic Florida window pitch; it’s the reality of every block in Kendale Lakes.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Kendale Lakes
Pricing in Kendale Lakes depends on product line, opening size, and whether the existing frame needs full replacement. For reference, a standard impact-rated single-hung window runs roughly $900 to $1,800 installed, depending on size and manufacturer. Impact sliders for a patio opening generally start around $2,500 and go up from there. Jalousie removal costs more than a standard swap because the entire opening must be reframed and refinished. Andersen and PGT lines sit at different price points than ViewLux or ES Windows, and we quote them side by side so you can compare. Every estimate from TruePane is a written, line-item quote. No change orders, no surprise line items.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendale Lakes
Yes. Kendale Lakes is inside Miami-Dade County’s mandatory wind-borne debris region, and every replacement window or door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). This standard is stricter than the general Florida Building Code used in neighboring counties. Kendale Lakes homeowners should confirm the NOA number is printed on the product approval paperwork before any install. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote on NOA-approved lines we install. Estimates are free.
Jalousie replacement typically costs $1,100 to $2,200 per opening, because the entire frame must be removed and the rough opening reframed to accommodate a modern sealed unit. Miami-Dade inspectors will flag non-compliant jalousies during any open permit, so this is not a job you can defer if you’re pulling permits for other work. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free written estimate.
In many cases, yes. Impact windows and doors that carry Miami-Dade NOA approval qualify your home for wind-mitigation insurance credits, which can reduce premiums significantly. The exact discount depends on your insurer and your home’s complete wind mitigation inspection report. TruePane registers both warranty layers in writing and provides the documentation you need for the mitigation inspection.
A typical single-family home with 8 to 12 openings takes two to four working days once materials are on site. Custom orders add two to six weeks for manufacturing, depending on the manufacturer and line. In Kendale Lakes, we schedule the work in sequence so your home is not exposed overnight. We’ll be there when we say.
Yes. Window and door replacement that changes the opening or the fenestration requires a Miami-Dade permit, and TruePane handles the permitting, the inspections, and the paperwork. We do not install first and apologize later. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through the permit requirements for your specific home.

What Kendale Lakes Customers Say
"Quote was the price, which after three other bids that grew legs was worth something. Double-hungs went in clean, they hauled the old ones, and the registration paperwork for the warranty came in the mail like they said."
- Dorothy K."French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G.
