AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Kendall
Window replacement in Kendall usually means one of two jobs: pulling non-impact aluminum originals out of a pre-1992 concrete block home and setting code-rated units in their place, or swapping tired post-Andrew windows for something tighter and quieter. In either case, you want a crew that knows Miami-Dade NOA requirements, understands how flat open terrain pushes wind-driven rain at your exterior walls, and shows up when they say they will. The TruePane team has worked Kendall’s patchwork housing stock for years. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate and we’ll walk the house with you before we quote anything.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We are not the cheapest bid you will get in Kendall. We are the one that holds up. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard travels to every Kendall job site, whether we’re setting a single slider in a Country Walk rancher or doing a whole-house frame-out off Kendall Drive.
Our Kendall customers tend to be people who have lived in their homes for twenty or thirty years. They remember the contractor who left a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. They call us because our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and we do it on every job. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which matters when a jalousie window finally seizes up and a storm is three days out. We stand behind the work with a 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork and no arguing.
Our Window Replacement Services in Kendall
Full Frame Replacement
This is the job most pre-1992 Kendall homes require. Original aluminum frames on CBS construction oxidize, seize, and often carry single-pane glass that was never rated for anything stronger than a summer shower. Full frame replacement means pulling the entire window down to the rough opening, repairing any hidden water damage in the jamb, re-flashing correctly, and setting a new Miami-Dade NOA-rated unit. On a 1978 CBS ranch in Kendale Lakes, our crew pulled original jalousie windows with severe aluminum pitting from salt air and set impact-rated double-hung units with low-E glass and argon fill from Andersen. We re-flashed each rough opening with flashing tape before the frames went in. The homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection then dropped their annual premium, and the old sash tracks no longer whistle during afternoon thunderstorms.
Insert Window Replacement
For Kendall homes with sound frames and no water damage, an insert replacement preserves existing trim and interior finishes while upgrading the sash and glass. This works best on post-Andrew rebuilds in The Hammocks and Country Walk where the original openings are still square and the frames were installed to modern code. We measure every opening twice and quote the manufacturer line you choose on paper before any work starts. Inserts are the right call when the frame is still true and the wall cavity is dry.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Kendall do double duty: they shield primary units from wind-driven rain and add a layer of protection during the afternoon thunderstorm cycle. On flat, open terrain with zero topographic windbreaking, that is not optional. We replace failing storm units on homes across Kendale Lakes, West Kendall, and the neighborhoods along SW 88th Street, and we won’t install a storm window that doesn’t meet Miami-Dade NOA standards when the job calls for it. No exceptions.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Kendall’s UV and 90%+ summer humidity destroy vinyl and rubber seals on non-stabilized units in three to five years. That kills the argon fill, fogs the glass, and drives your cooling bill up on a home that already fights the afternoon sun. Our energy-efficient upgrades use thermally broken frames, low-E coatings, and argon-filled insulated glass from manufacturers like Simonton, PGT, and Ply Gem. For a single-story CBS home without shade cover, the difference shows up on the first August power bill.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, PGT, and CGI. For Kendall homeowners, that matters because we stock local parts for the brands most common in this market and can quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. PGT and CGI impact lines are the workhorses for Miami-Dade NOA compliance, and Simonton’s energy-efficiency profiles handle the UV and humidity better than most. We carry all three deep enough to avoid the wait. For the broader picture on how a replacement works, see our Window Replacement guide.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Seized jalousie and slider tracks from aluminum oxidation. Kendall’s salt air pushed inland from Biscayne Bay and Florida Bay eats aluminum frames faster than markets 30 miles north. Sashes stop sliding long before hurricane season, and suddenly a window that should secure the house will not close.
- Fogged insulated glass from UV-degraded seals. Routinely 90%+ humidity in summer breaks down non-UV-stabilized rubber and vinyl seals within three to five years. The argon escapes, condensation forms between the panes, and the window’s insulation value is gone.
- Wind-driven rain finding its way through poorly flashed full-frame jobs. Kendall’s flat, open terrain offers no windbreak. A full frame replacement flashed incorrectly lets water into the jamb and behind the wall cavity. We re-flash every rough opening with flashing tape as standard.
- Non-compliant openings that flag wind mitigation inspections. Pre-1992 single-pane sliders and jalousie windows fail Miami-Dade NOA requirements and directly raise insurance premiums that already run $6,000 to $12,000 a year in this market. The replacement pays for itself on the inspection report.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Kendall, FL
A full frame replacement in Kendall typically runs $950 to $2,300 per opening, depending on the size of the window, the condition of the rough opening, and the manufacturer line you choose. Insert replacements on sound frames usually land between $600 and $1,400 per opening. Storm window replacement runs $350 to $900 per unit. Energy-efficient upgrades with low-E and argon fill add $150 to $400 per window over standard impact glass, but you recover that through insurance savings and lower cooling costs. Acreage adds scope: county permitting, septic and well setbacks, and long hauls all move the number. We walk the property, confirm those constraints, and quote real numbers before any work starts.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Kendall
Pre-1992 Kendall homes were built with aluminum jalousie windows because they moved air in a time when central air was not universal. Those units are not Miami-Dade NOA impact-rated, and they cannot be retrofitted to pass. You replace them with impact-rated units via full frame replacement. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate on the openings you need done.
Qualifying Miami-Dade NOA impact windows and doors directly reduce wind mitigation inspection scores, which lowers annual wind premiums in a Kendall market where that coverage routinely runs $6,000 to $12,000. The inspection ratio for this market makes impact replacement one of the fastest insurance-savings recoveries in the state. The savings discussion is part of every quote we write.
Yes, window replacement on Kendall acreage goes through county permitting rather than city permitting, and new openings in exterior walls have to respect septic and well setbacks, not just the structure line. We pull permits, locate the setbacks, and scope the job accordingly before we quote. Nothing about the permit surprises you later.
Kendall’s flat, open terrain and routine 90%+ summer humidity push UV exposure and moisture onto window seals year-round, and salt air from Biscayne Bay and Florida Bay adds oxidation pressure on any non-stabilized material. Non-UV-stabilized seals in this environment typically fail within three to five years. We spec UV-stabilized lines like Simonton for exactly that reason.
Yes, and it usually does require a different scope because county permitting for detached structures can have separate setback, historic, or structural review requirements, and the material haul and equipment access differ from the main home. We treat outbuildings and detached ADUs as their own scope line so the quote reflects real conditions, not a city-lot assumption.
Whether you are in The Hammocks, Kendale Lakes, or Country Walk, call (813) 320-9346 and ask for a free estimate. We will walk the property, measure every opening twice, quote real numbers in writing, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That is the standard on every Kendall home we touch.
