AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Kendall
Impact window and door replacement in Kendall runs between $850 and $2,400 per opening for Miami-Dade NOA-rated units, with full frame-out work on pre-1992 homes typically landing 30 to 50 percent higher than insert replacements on post-Andrew rebuilds. That price difference is not a sales gimmick. It reflects what our crews find when they pull the old jalousie frames out of a 1970s CBS house near Kendall Drive and see twisted jambs that would never seat a clean insert properly.
We serve the full Kendall footprint, from Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks up through Country Walk and the neighborhoods along Killian Drive and Bird Road. Dispatching and scheduling runs through our Miami office, but the crews working your street live and work in this corridor. Call (813) 320-9346 and a live person answers. That is not a call center. That is our own office, every hour of the day.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after watching too many South Florida homeowners get windows that were installed out of square, left with voided warranties nobody would stand behind. The founding rule is still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. In Kendall specifically, that rule matters more than in most markets because of the housing stock split we deal with every week.
Our Impact Windows & Doors crews have worked pre-Andrew CBS homes and post-1992 rebuilds side by side on the same block. That is the local knowledge a contractor needs here. Someone who only knows new construction will over-quote a simple insert job on a Country Walk rebuild. Someone who never touches pre-1992 frames will under-quote and then surprise you with a change order halfway through. Kendall homeowners get neither from us. The price is fixed in writing before we order a single unit.
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, and Marvin among others. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. If it is not done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. That is the standard, and it is the baseline for every callback we would rather not have to make.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Kendall
Hurricane Impact Windows
Full impact window replacement in Kendall typically runs $950 to $2,400 per opening depending on size, frame material, and whether you need a full frame-out. Most of the pre-1992 homes we see in Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks need frame-out work because the original aluminum jambs are corroded or out of square. Post-Andrew rebuilds can often take an insert, which keeps the price on the lower end. We quote both options side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying, down to the line item.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact-rated sliding glass doors in Kendall run $3,800 to $9,500 installed, with full frame-out on original 1970s openings pushing toward the higher end. The original single-pane sliders in this area are notorious for binding in July humidity and leaking air all year. Our Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall team replaces them with Miami-Dade NOA-rated units that are tested for the pressure cycles Kendall’s flat, open terrain throws at them. We specify fusion-welded frames only, because UV-stabilized vinyl is the difference between a door that still seals in ten years and one that chalks and warps in five.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Impact entry doors in Kendall run $2,800 to $7,200 installed depending on whether you want a single door, double French units, or a Custom Windows & Doors in Kendall architectural profile. Older Kendall homes frequently have original hollow-core doors that would not survive a strong thunderstorm, let alone a named storm. We coordinate with your architect when a job calls for it, matching millwork profiles and specifying glass packages that keep the solar heat gain coefficient low enough for Miami-Dade compliance without making the house dark.
Impact Garage Doors
Impact garage doors in Kendall run $2,900 to $6,800 for single and double widths. The wind loads on a garage door are different from a window or a our Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall, and Miami-Dade’s product approval process treats them separately. We pull the correct NOA paperwork for the specific door you are buying and verify the reinforcement posts and track brackets are rated for the same wind zone as the door itself. A cheap door on unreinforced tracks is a hole in your house when the pressure swings hit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We carry parts and service for the major lines Kendall homeowners actually have installed: Andersen, Pella, Marvin, PGT, CGI, Simonton, and more than a dozen other manufacturers. Stocking local parts means we can often turn a hardware or seal repair around without waiting on a factory shipment. When you call about a fogged panel on an original Andersen unit in a post-Andrew rebuild, we know which generation of glass it is before we pull up to the curb. That familiarity keeps repair visits shorter and quotes accurate the first time. our maintenance check covers alignment, seal inspection, and hardware lube for any major brand, and it is the cheapest insurance you can buy against a July door that will not close.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Silicone-sealed jalousie frames from the 1970s. These fail the Miami-Dade NOA impact test and no retrofit sash exists that makes them compliant. The only honest fix is a full frame-out replacement, and we quote it that way rather than pretending a patch will pass an inspection.
- UV chalk and warp on non-UV-stabilized vinyl. Kendall’s flat, open terrain means zero windbreak and all-day sun exposure. Cheap vinyl windows fade, chalk, and warp within five years. We specify fusion-welded frames with UV-stabilized compounds only, because we do not want to be back replacing our own work.
- Fogged original single-pane IGUs. Kendall’s 90 percent-plus summer humidity accelerates seal failure on original dual-pane units. A fogged pane means lost argon fill and no thermal break, so the window is not doing any of the jobs you bought it for. We catch this on every pre-quote inspection before you pay for a frame that is still good.
- Corroded aluminum on original non-impact sliders. Salt air pushed inland from Biscayne Bay and Florida Bay oxidizes aluminum faster in Kendall than in markets just 30 miles north. Frames that look tired but serviceable are often too far gone to accept an insert, which is why our quotes always itemize frame-out versus insert before you commit.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall, FL
Here is the straight math. Impact windows in Kendall run $850 to $2,400 per opening. Impact sliding glass doors run $3,800 to $9,500. Entry and French doors run $2,800 to $7,200, and garage doors run $2,900 to $6,800. Full frame-out work on pre-1992 homes adds 30 to 50 percent over insert pricing.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall
You need full replacement. There is no retrofit impact sash for original jalousie frames because the frames themselves fail the Miami-Dade NOA pressure test even before glass is mounted. Our crews have pulled enough of these out of 1970s and 1980s CBS homes in Kendale Lakes to tell you flatly: the frame comes out, the opening gets reframed and flashed, and a new Miami-Dade NOA-rated unit goes in. Expect $950 to $2,100 per opening depending on size and manufacturer. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote, free.
On homes with a current wind mitigation report and annual wind coverage bills in the $6,000 to $12,000 range, qualifying Miami-Dade NOA impact windows and doors typically cut the premium by 15 to 30 percent depending on the carrier, the roof-to-wall connections, and the home’s distance to open water. Last spring our crew replaced corroded single-pane aluminum sliders on a 1970s CBS home in Kendale Lakes with NOA-rated Simonton impact sliders, doing a full frame-out because the original jambs were too twisted for a clean insert. The homeowner’s wind mitigation report then cut their annual premium by over $2,000. We are not insurance agents, but we can point you to the exact report data that gets the discount. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule the estimate that starts the process.
The other company quoted an insert because it is cheaper on paper. The problem is your original frame. In pre-1992 Kendall homes, especially around The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes, the original aluminum jambs are frequently corroded, out of square, or both. An insert into a twisted frame leaks air, binds the sash, and voids the manufacturer warranty because the unit was not installed to spec. Frame-out with proper flashing tape and a square jamb is the only install that passes a Miami-Dade inspection and stays sealed. Our quotes itemize both methods so you can see exactly why the price differs, and we will show you the twisted frame in person before you decide. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate that walks you through it.
It is real, and it is the lead time that sets the calendar on this tier of work, not labor. Andersen, Pella, and Marvin build to order, and the custom glass packages, low-E coatings, and argon fills that Kendall’s climate calls for are not sitting on a shelf in a warehouse. Eight to twelve weeks from order to delivery is common for custom units. For a post-Andrew rebuild in Country Walk, we coordinated with the architect to swap a standard impact casement for a custom Marvin unit with low-E glass and argon fill, keeping the SHGC under 0.25 while matching the existing millwork profile. That unit took eleven weeks. The install took a day. We tell you the lead time up front, fix the price in writing before ordering, and keep you posted as the order moves. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will give you current lead times for the specific line you are considering.
Check the corner of the glass or the frame for a NOA etching or label. Look for the words “Miami-Dade County Product Approval” and a NOA number. If you do not see it, the unit is almost certainly pre-1992, non-impact, and not what your insurer thinks it is. Many original aluminum frames in Kendall homes carry no label at all, which means no compliance, no wind mitigation credit, and no impact rating regardless of how sturdy the glass feels. Our pre-quote inspection documents every opening’s label status and folds that into your written quote. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule a free inspection for your Kendall home.
