Why Kendall West Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
We’re not the cheapest bid you’ll get in Kendall West, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we are is the company that shows up, measures twice, and registers both warranty layers in writing before the truck pulls away. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s a second-generation glazier’s standard, not a franchise training manual.
Homeowners off Kendall Drive and in the subdivisions around Southwest 157th Avenue call us because the installer they used twenty years ago is gone and the one who quoted them last month never answered after the deposit. We answer the phone. We show up in uniform, background-checked, and we stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No forms, no fine print, no argument.

Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall West
Window Installation
We set new windows square, sealed, and flashed for Kendall West’s humidity and wind-load demands. If the opening isn’t measured right, no window on the market will perform, so we measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Kendall West.
Door Installation
A door that binds in July was hung wrong or framed out of square, and Kendall West’s moisture makes the problem worse fast. We hang entry doors, patio doors, and custom units that close true on day one and stay that way.

Window Replacement
Those original aluminum single-pane sliders from the late 1980s were not built for post-Andrew code, and most have failing seals by now. We replace them with NOA-approved impact units that pass Miami-Dade inspection the first time.

Impact Windows & Doors
Kendall West sits entirely inside the HVHZ, which means every window and door product must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We install impact-rated lines from manufacturers like PGT and CGI, and we register the NOA numbers as part of the paper trail on every job.
Energy-Efficient Windows
The sun hits Kendall West hard for eight months a year, and single-pane glass transfers that heat straight into your living room. We quote Low-E and gas-filled options side by side on paper so you can see the actual glass package you’re paying for.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliders in Kendall West take a lot of abuse, and a track that’s even slightly out of level will bind and wear prematurely. We install and replace sliders that roll clean, seal tight, and close square against wind-driven rain.
Glass Railing Systems
For balconies, pool decks, and stairways, glass railing needs to be anchored properly for hurricane uplift. We fabricate and install railing systems that meet Miami-Dade’s structural requirements without blocking the view.
Custom Windows & Doors
Odd openings, arched tops, or a specific architectural match for a Kendall West townhome: we write up custom specs and quote real manufacturer lines, not a generic “custom” upcharge with nothing behind it.

Why Kendall West’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendall West falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. Every window and door product here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and inspectors verify that the stamped NOA number on the installed unit exactly matches the approved product listing. Products carrying only the statewide Florida Building Code approval routinely fail final inspection in this area, which catches out-of-market installers who underbid local companies and disappear when the job fails.
The housing stock adds another layer. Kendall West is dominated by concrete-block homes and townhomes built mostly from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s. A lot of pre-1993 homes still carry original aluminum single-pane jalousie or slider windows and non-impact hollow-core exterior doors. Those were installed before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the code in 1992, and they don’t just leak energy; they fail the standard that now governs any permitted work. When you pull a permit to replace one opening, the code often triggers the requirement to bring the rest into compliance, which is why we write the full scope on paper up front, not after the inspector shows up.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall West
Impact-rated window replacement in Kendall West typically runs $900 to $1,800 per opening installed, depending on the size of the unit and which manufacturer line you choose. Sliding glass doors run higher, usually $3,500 to $7,500. We quote every opening in writing before you commit, and the price doesn’t change once work starts. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
Yes. Kendall West lies entirely within Miami-Dade’s HVHZ, which requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance on every window and door product installed under permit. A statewide Florida Building Code approval is not enough here; the inspector will check the stamped NOA number against the approved listing. We register both warranty layers and the NOA documentation before we leave the driveway.
Often yes, and it depends on what the permit application shows and what the inspector flags. Many Kendall West homes built before 1993 still carry non-impact original aluminum windows, and once a permitted job starts, the inspector can require the rest of the openings to meet current code. We walk through the trigger points before you sign so there are no surprises after the inspector leaves.
Most single-visit replacements wrap in a day or two, depending on how many openings you’re doing and whether new bucking or flashing is required. We’ll give you a written timeline with the quote and we’re there when we say we’ll be there. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a measurement.
Permits in Kendall West run through Miami-Dade’s building department, not a municipality, because this is unincorporated county land. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure every NOA number on the installed unit matches what the inspector checks. If the permit isn’t closed, the job isn’t done.

What Kendall West Customers Say
"Eleven windows replaced in two days. The crew chief, Marcus, showed me the level on every single frame before they caulked it. My wife noticed the street noise was gone before I did."
- Ronald P."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L."Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A.
