Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company

We’re a second-generation glazier’s company, led by Dale Kessler, and we’ve spent years in Florida’s coastal building trade. That matters in Kendale Lakes because this community’s housing stock has a specific problem: thousands of CBS homes built between the late 1960s and mid-1980s still carry their original aluminum jalousie windows. Those louvered glass units cannot be made hurricane-compliant. They have to come out completely. A company that doesn’t know this will quote you a sash swap, and Miami-Dade’s inspectors will flag the permit until the full removal is documented. We quote it correctly the first time.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They bring manufacturer NOA documentation to the table and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s backed by a 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. Kendale Lakes homeowners have called us after another contractor left a fogged seal or a door that binds in July. We fix those, and then we earn the next job.

Call (813) 320-9346 and you’ll get a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form, not a regional call center. Scheduling for Kendale Lakes is coordinated from our Miami office, and local crews serve this neighborhood directly.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Kendale Lakes

We install and service the full range of Impact Windows & Doors for Kendale Lakes homes, with a focus on the work this housing stock actually demands: full jalousie removal, NOA-approved replacements, and wind mitigation documentation that insurance underwriters accept.

Hurricane Impact Windows

Most Kendale Lakes homes we visit still have original aluminum frames. We replace them with impact-rated casement, single-hung, or fixed units that carry Miami-Dade NOA approval. On a typical CBS home near Kendale Lakes Elementary, that means removing the entire jamb assembly, flashing the rough opening with butyl tape, and setting the new frame square. We’ve done this on dozens of homes along SW 80th Street and throughout the 33183 ZIP code.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

The original single-track aluminum sliders installed throughout Kendale Lakes in the 1970s and 1980s are often fogged, corroded, or off-track. We replace them with our Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendale Lakes, impact-rated units that meet current High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. Because many Kendale Lakes lots are tight, we stage the old door and the new one in sequence, keeping the opening covered between removal and set.

Impact Entry & French Doors

Entry doors on Kendale Lakes CBS homes frequently carry single-pane glass inserts with no impact rating. We install impact-rated entry and French door systems that hold their seals in the Everglades humidity and meet Miami-Dade’s design wind speeds exceeding 175 mph. If your HOA has an approval process, we’ll prepare the submittal documents.

Impact Garage Doors

A non-impact garage door is the largest single opening on many Kendale Lakes homes. We install impact-rated garage doors and bracing systems that satisfy the county’s wind-borne debris region requirements. Because the permit is tied to the same structure, we coordinate the garage door inspection with any window work already underway.

Why Jalousie Removal Changes Everything in Kendale Lakes

Here’s the detail a generic Florida page misses. Kendale Lakes developed as a planned suburban community in the 1960s through 1980s. Builders used CBS construction, which is solid, but they finished almost every home with aluminum jalousie windows, louvered glass units that can’t accept insulated glass and can’t be retrofitted with impact film to code. Miami-Dade inspectors know this. If you have an open permit for any improvement and the inspector sees original jalousies, they’ll flag them. Replacement becomes mandatory, not optional.

This changes the job scope. It’s not a sash swap. It’s full frame removal, rough-opening inspection, and sometimes scheduled debris removal because the old aluminum channels and glass louvers can’t go in the regular bin. On a Kendale Lakes cul-de-sac with zero street parking and shared driveways, our crew replaced a full wall of original jalousie windows with NOA-approved impact-rated casement units. Because the jalousie frames couldn’t accept insulated glass units, we removed the entire jamb assembly, flashed the rough opening with butyl tape, and worked within the HOA’s 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. work-hour rule. Neighbors on both sides received written notice 72 hours before we ran the debris chute from the second-story bedroom. That’s how a tight lot gets done right.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Kendale Lakes homes we regularly quote Andersen, ES Windows, and PGT side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. We also design Custom Windows & Doors in Kendale Lakes for openings with unusual dimensions or HOA-matching requirements.

Parts for common impact window lines are stocked locally, and we can pull manufacturer warranty documentation for any unit we install, registered in writing before we leave.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes

• Fogged insulated glass units from seal failure. Original 1970s aluminum frames can’t hold argon fill. Non-impact replacements that get dropped into those old channels degrade within five years in Everglades humidity. When we see this, we usually recommend full frame replacement rather than glass-only work.
• Jalousie windows left in place during a window swap quote. Some contractors quote around the jalousies to keep the number low. Miami-Dade inspectors red-tag the open permit until full removal is documented, stalling final inspection and leaving the homeowner with a partial job.
• Improper flashing tape on a shared-wall condo opening. Water intrusion follows the party wall and triggers neighbor damage claims long after the crew leaves. We flash every opening with butyl tape and document it with photos before the window is set.
• Non-impact sliders that bind in July. Original single-track aluminum sliders swell and stick in humid months. If the track is worn and the frame is corroded, replacement is cheaper than repeated repairs. We’ll quote you both options honestly.

Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Kendale Lakes, FL

How Permits Work in Kendale Lakes vs. Broward County

Kendale Lakes sits inside Miami-Dade County’s mandatory wind-borne debris region. Every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, the most stringent product-approval standard in the nation. This is stricter than the general Florida Building Code used in neighboring Broward County, where some inland areas accept Florida Product Approval without the additional Miami-Dade NOA. If you’re comparing quotes between companies, ask directly: are these units NOA-approved for Miami-Dade? We carry the documentation with us and submit it with the permit application. We also handle wind mitigation inspections so the upgrade is documented for your insurance carrier. A NOA-approved impact upgrade on a pre-Andrew Kendale Lakes home typically earns a substantial wind mitigation credit, and many homeowners recover the cost through premium savings within five to seven years.

Kendale Lakes Lot Conditions and How They Affect the Quote

Kendale Lakes lots are denser than what you’ll find in newer subdivisions. Homes along SW 72nd Street and the numbered courts off Kendale Lakes Boulevard often share driveways or have no street parking at all. That affects staging, debris handling, and the hours we can work. We factor this into the quote, not as a surprise line item, but as an honest line item: debris chute rental if a second-story opening has no ground access, protection board for a neighbor’s driveway if we need to stage materials, and scheduling around HOA work-hour rules. On cul-de-sacs where the county restricts truck placement, we verify access before we schedule the crew. If a shared-wall condo requires party-wall notice, we prepare the written notice and deliver it 72 hours before work begins. A tight lot doesn’t change what the job costs unless access truly adds labor, and we’ll show you that math on the quote.
