Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Kendale Lakes

If you own a CBS home in Kendale Lakes built between the late 1960s and mid-1980s, your original windows and doors are almost certainly not Miami-Dade HVHZ compliant. That means they fail current code and likely cost you more on insurance every single year. Our Impact Windows & Doors team replaces those pre-impact aluminum and jalousie units with fully permitted, NOA-approved systems that pass inspection the first time.

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

We’ve worked enough 1970s Arvida-built CBS homes off SW 88th Street, SW 97th Avenue, and throughout the 33183 zip code to know exactly what we’re walking into before the truck parks. The block walls are solid. The original window openings are not. Homeowners here don’t need a sales pitch about hurricane season. They need a crew that knows the difference between an insert quote that will fail a Miami-Dade inspection and a full frame-out that actually complies. That’s the work we do.

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. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. When we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, you see exactly what you’re buying. And before our truck leaves your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with durations stated. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s not negotiable.

There’s a live person who answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. You call, a person picks up, and we schedule a time we actually keep. Kendale Lakes homeowners remember the contractor who left them with a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. We’re not that contractor.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Kendale Lakes

Kendale Lakes homes have a specific set of problems, and we’ve built our service around solving them. Here’s what we handle most often for homeowners in this community.

Hurricane Impact Windows

Nearly every original window in Kendale Lakes is single-pane aluminum or jalousie, installed decades before Miami-Dade adopted the High Velocity Hurricane Zone code after Hurricane Andrew. These units cannot be retrofitted into compliance. We spec full frame-out replacements with NOA-approved products, pull the county permit, and coordinate the inspection so you walk away with an updated wind-mitigation report your insurer will actually accept. Most full-home window replacements in Kendale Lakes take 3 to 5 working days once materials arrive.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Kendale Lakes sits at the western edge of Miami-Dade, close enough to the Everglades that standing water after afternoon storms is a chronic problem around slab foundations. We routinely see sliding door sills that have rotted from decades of that standing water, which means the rough opening needs rebuilding before a new impact slider goes in. We re-flash with butyl tape at the jambs, slope the sill away from the slab, and set a fusion-welded frame that closes tight against wind-driven rain. A properly flashed impact slider on a Kendale Lakes CBS home should outlast the mortgage.

Impact Entry & French Doors

Original louvered doors on carport entries are common in this neighborhood, and they are structurally incapable of meeting any HVHZ requirement. We replace them with impact-rated entry doors or French doors that carry a Miami-Dade NOA. The door itself matters, but so does the threshold. Humidity and slab-level water intrusion have warped and rotted more thresholds in Kendale Lakes than any storm ever blew through. We rebuild the rough opening, set the new threshold on a proper slope, and flash it so water sheds away from the slab. You get a door that closes square in July and seals tight in September.

Impact Garage Doors

Many Kendale Lakes homes still have the original non-rated overhead garage door, which is a gaping hole in your wind envelope during a storm. We install impact-rated garage doors with reinforced tracks and bracing that meet Miami-Dade requirements. It’s one of the fastest, most cost-effective upgrades you can make to a 1970s CBS home, and it closes one of the biggest insurance-inspection gaps we see in this neighborhood.

Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance

This is the part most window companies gloss over. In Kendale Lakes, the permit and inspection sequence is not optional. Every impact replacement job requires a Miami-Dade county permit with an inspector sign-off. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the final wind-mitigation report reflects exactly what was installed. That report is the document your insurer needs to recalculate your premium. Without it, you paid for impact windows and got nothing in return on your policy.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Kendale Lakes jobs we frequently quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem side by side on paper so you can see the frame construction, glass package, and warranty terms for each. PGT’s WinGuard line is a common fit for CBS homes because the frame depth matches the original rough opening well. CGI makes a heavier extrusion that some homeowners prefer for larger fixed picture windows. Ply Gem offers solid mid-range options when the budget is tight but the NOA requirement is non-negotiable. We stock common parts and hardware locally for faster turnaround, and every line we install gets both warranty layers registered in writing before we leave the driveway.

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

• Jalousie windows in secondary bedrooms. These louvered glass units were everywhere in 1970s Kendale Lakes construction, and they are structurally impossible to bring into HVHZ compliance. Any company quoting an insert for these is wasting your money. The only correct fix is a full frame-out replacement with a NOA-approved impact window.
• Failed seals and fogged glass on original aluminum frames. Thirty to fifty years of Everglades-adjacent humidity has killed the seals on most original single-pane units. Argon is long gone, U-factors sit above 0.70, and condensation is constant. You’re paying to cool air that leaks straight through the wall.
• Rotted door sills and threshold seals. Standing water after daily afternoon rains pools around slab foundations in western Kendale Lakes, and it finds its way under door thresholds. Even a brand-new impact door leaks unless the rough opening is rebuilt, flashed, and sloped correctly. We do that work on nearly every door replacement here.
• Carport louvered doors that can’t meet code. Original louvered carport doors are a common feature on Arvida-built homes, and they, like jalousie windows, cannot be retrofitted. They get replaced with solid impact-rated doors that carry their own NOA.
