AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Kendall West
Custom Kendall West Window Replacement and doors run $1,850 to $7,400 per opening depending on size, glass package, and whether the wall is opened by a remodel. Most jobs take one to three days once materials land, and every unit has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance before an inspector will pass it. If you’re in a late-1980s CBS tract home off SW 137th or 142nd Avenue, chances are the original single-pane aluminum sliders are still in those openings, and they’re long past due. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll measure, quote, and document the NOA paperwork before anything gets ordered.
Key Takeaways
- Miami-Dade NOA required: Every window and door installed in Kendall West must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Statewide Florida Building Code approval alone will not pass inspection here.
- Custom window pricing: Expect $1,850 to $7,400 per opening in Kendall West, with oversized glass panels at the top of that range.
- Old tract homes hide real problems: Pre-1993 CBS homes commonly have no flashing tape or waterproofing behind original window flanges. A remodel permit forces that to be corrected.
- TruePane registers both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and the Done Right Promise covers the workmanship.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall West’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We’re not the cheapest bid in Kendall West, and we don’t try to be. We’re the company that shows up knowing what an unincorporated Miami-Dade permit inspection actually requires, because we’ve been standing in front of those inspectors for years. Our Custom Windows & Doors crew has pulled permits and passed final inspection in subdivisions all across Kendall West, including the tract-home pockets west of SW 137th Avenue and the townhome clusters north of Kendall Drive.
A live person answers every call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so when you call (754) 238-2201 you get a person, not a voicemail tree. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That governs every install we do in Kendall West.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, write quotes on paper side by side across manufacturer lines, and register both warranty layers before leaving your driveway. When a Kendall West inspector asks to see the stamped NOA number on the installed unit, that paperwork is already in your file and in ours.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Kendall West
Custom Shape Windows
Arched, radius, octagonal, trapezoid, eyebrow. If an architect drew it or a homeowner wants it, we build it and set it. In Kendall West’s CBS tract homes, custom shapes usually replace a standard rectangular rough opening, which means the permit triggers verification that the surrounding block and tie-beam are structurally sound before we order the bent frame. That’s a step a lot of companies skip. We don’t, because a custom arch that leaks around the corners is a custom arch nobody wants. Expect $2,200 to $5,800 per custom shape window in Kendall West, including NOA-rated insulated glass.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Kendall West has small retail along the main corridors, and those storefronts take a beating from June to November. We install and replace commercial storefront aluminum and glass systems that meet Miami-Dade HVHZ wind-load requirements, which is an entirely different standard from residential. If a storefront loses a panel in a storm, the damage goes way beyond glass. We quote the frame, the glazing, the anchoring, and the permit, all itemized on paper. Commercial storefront work in Kendall West typically runs $65 to $140 per square foot installed.
Curtain Wall Systems
For the larger commercial and mid-rise work in Kendall West, we install curtain wall systems engineered to the same HVHZ standard as every other opening in this unincorporated county. Curtain wall demands a structural engineer’s stamp, manufacturer fabrication drawings, and an inspector who will check those NOA numbers against the approved drawings. We’ve managed that full chain for property owners here and we know which inspectors want what. Curtain wall pricing in Kendall West starts around $95 per square foot and climbs from there based on span, anchoring, and glass makeup.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites, or SDLs, give a modern impact-rated window the look of a traditional multi-pane sash. We install grilles between the glass, true divided lites where the project calls for it, and custom architectural grille patterns that match existing 1980s tract-home aesthetics. For Kendall West homeowners upgrading from those original aluminum jalousies to Impact Windows & Doors - Kendall West, SDLs are the most common request we hear because they hold a bit of that older Florida character while bringing the glazing up to current code. Expect $180 to $420 per window added to the base unit cost.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Kendall West work we typically quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem products because those manufacturers carry deep Miami-Dade NOA product listings. That matters when a specific size or glass package has to match an approved listing. We stock the common sealants, fasteners, and flashing components for these lines locally, which means fewer trips back to the shop and fewer days with a tarp over your opening. We quote brands side by side on paper so you see exactly what each line costs and why.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- Original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousies losing their seal. In the humidity that sits over Kendall West year-round, those 1980s units fog from the inside and the frames sweat onto interior drywall. The fix is replacement, not repair, because the aluminum extrusions are often pitted beyond resealing.
- Out-of-county crews installing Florida Building Code-only impact windows. Miami-Dade inspectors physically verify the stamped NOA on every installed unit. A window approved only under statewide code fails final inspection here, and the homeowner is the one who pays to redo it.
- No flashing tape or waterproofing behind original window flanges. When a wall gets opened in a CBS tract home, the old caulk has usually turned to dust. Current code requires new flashing and waterproofing before the new unit goes in. We budget for it on every permit-triggered job.
- Undersized rough openings that don’t match today’s heavier impact-rated frames. The mid-1980s jamb dimensions in many Kendall West homes will not accept a modern NOA-rated frame without reframing. We inspect the opening before we quote, which means our price doesn’t move after we start.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Kendall West, FL
Here are the straight numbers for Kendall West as of 2026. A standard NOA-rated impact casement or double-hung replacement runs $1,850 to $3,900 per opening. A custom shape window runs $2,200 to $5,800. Oversized glass panels, which this market favors for pool-facing walls and garden rooms, run $4,500 to $7,400 per panel. Commercial storefront glazing runs $65 to $140 per square foot installed, and curtain wall starts around $95. What moves the price is the rough-opening work behind the old unit, the glass package, and whether the permit is already pulled or we’re pulling it. Every quote is a written, line-item price, and any change gets priced and approved in writing before we touch the wall. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on your specific openings.
One thing we will tell you plainly: because Custom Windows & Doors in Kendall West work runs through Miami-Dade’s building department, a permit triggered by a remodel does not let you keep non-compliant windows in the same wall. We budget for that in writing, and we don’t hide it in a change order later. A square deal means the price you sign is the price you get.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Kendall West
Yes. Every window and door installed in Kendall West must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and inspectors verify the stamped NOA number on the installed unit against the approved product listing. Statewide Florida Building Code approval alone is not enough, and units installed without a valid NOA fail final inspection and have to be pulled. That’s why we quote only NOA-approved products for this market. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through the product approvals for your specific openings.
The permit forces a correction to current Miami-Dade HVHZ code, which means new flashing tape, sill waterproofing, and proper integration with the surrounding CBS wall before the new unit goes in. We write a line-item allowance for this into the contract before we start, and if the opening is worse than expected, we price the extra work in writing and get your sign-off before proceeding. Most pre-1993 Kendall West homes we open have no flashing at all behind the original flanges.
If the permit scope is limited to the door opening itself, the jalousies elsewhere are generally not forced into compliance. But if you’re pulling a remodel permit that touches adjoining walls, or if the door is an exterior door in a wall containing non-impact windows, the inspector may require that the windows in that wall meet current impact standards. We’ll tell you what the permit scope triggers before we quote so you’re not surprised at inspection. Call (754) 238-2201 for a straight answer on your particular job.
Because they’re quoting products approved only under the statewide Florida Building Code, which do not carry Miami-Dade NOA listings, and they don’t know that Miami-Dade inspectors check the stamped NOA against the installed unit. Those bids fail final inspection and the homeowner pays to redo the work. We’ve watched it happen on this side of the county more times than we care to count, most recently on a job where a Broward crew had to pull and replace every window on a Kendall West townhome. A cheap bid that won’t pass is not a cheap bid.
In the Kendall West climate, replacing single-pane aluminum sliders with NOA-rated low-E insulated double-hungs typically cuts cooling load through the glazing by 40 to 55 percent, which on a 1,800-square-foot CBS home with 12 to 16 windows commonly saves $60 to $110 a month during the May-to-October cooling season. The bigger difference is comfort. Those old aluminum frames transfer heat like radiators. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact calculation on your home’s orientation and window count.
