Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall West’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We are not the cheapest bid in Kendall West, and we do not try to be. We are the company homeowners call after the first contractor’s windows fogged up in eighteen months or the final inspection stalled because the product lacked a Miami-Dade NOA. Our Impact Windows & Doors team works primarily in unincorporated Miami-Dade, which means we know the county inspection process the way a local should: which details inspectors check first, how to stage materials on a zero-lot-line driveway so the work proceeds without a stop-work order, and how to register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after years of watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties become somebody else’s expensive problem. The Keystone Standard is our baseline: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, and a Done Right Promise on every job. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. Kendall West homeowners who plan to stay in their house another twenty years tend to appreciate that kind of plain language.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a regional call center. You call, a person picks up. That matters when a storm is bearing down on western Miami-Dade and you need a straight answer about your existing openings.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Kendall West
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Kendall West homes were built between the mid-1980s and early 2000s as concrete-block-structure tract housing. The pre-1993 stock commonly still carries original aluminum single-pane jalousie or slider windows that predate Miami-Dade’s post-Andrew HVHZ upgrade requirements. We replace those with Miami-Dade NOA-listed impact units sized to the existing CBS openings, which keeps the job cleaner and often avoids reframing. A typical three-bedroom Kendall West home with fourteen openings runs $12,000-$19,000 for mid-grade impact windows.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors in Kendall West take a beating from the June-to-November humidity. Aluminum frames corrode, rollers bind, and the sill can rot where standing water sits after the afternoon downpours that roll through western Miami-Dade. We install impact-rated sliding doors with reinforced frames and interlocking panels that meet the HVHZ wind-load requirements, and we replace the sill pan and flashing assembly rather than caulking over old damage. An impact slider replacement in Kendall West typically runs $2,800-$5,200 depending on width and configuration.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Original hollow-core exterior doors on Kendall West townhomes and single-family homes do not meet current HVHZ standards for wind-borne debris resistance. We install impact-rated entry and French door systems that carry Miami-Dade NOAs and match the existing opening or get reframed cleanly when the rough opening is out of square. Entry door work on a tight Kendall West lot requires careful staging because there is rarely room to lay a door flat on the ground at the side of the house.

Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
The western edge of Kendall West sits directly against the Everglades, with no topographic buffer between your walls and an Atlantic or Gulf hurricane track. That is why Miami-Dade requires an NOA on every window and door product, and why inspectors verify the stamped number on the unit itself, not just the box. We document the NOA for every opening, keep the paperwork organized for the inspector, and walk the final inspection with you if you want us there. We also pull all permits through Miami-Dade’s building department so there is no question about who is responsible for the approval.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- NOA mismatch at final inspection. A window carrying only statewide Florida Building Code approval will not pass a Miami-Dade final inspection. We see this most often when an out-of-county contractor underbids the job and the homeowner learns about the NOA requirement at the worst possible moment: after the units are already installed.
- Seal failure from constant humidity. Kendall West’s near-constant humidity accelerates moisture intrusion into older insulated glass units. Fog between the panes means the argon fill is gone and the thermal performance is compromised. The fix is a new IG unit, not a tube of desiccant.
- Flashing tape failures on CBS block. Concrete block openings do not shed water the way wood framing does. If the flashing tape is not properly layered and integrated with the existing weather barrier, wind-driven rain during a tropical storm finds its way inside the wall cavity. We strip and re-flash openings as part of the replacement, not as an optional add-on.
- Binding patio sliders on settled slabs. Many Kendall West slabs have settled over three decades of wet-dry cycling, leaving sliders that drag or stick in July. Replacing the door without addressing the track bed just transfers the problem to a new door. We level the bed and shim the frame to true before setting the new panel.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall West
Kendall West falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. Miami-Dade’s building department requires every window and door product to carry a Notice of Acceptance that has been tested and approved specifically for HVHZ wind pressures and debris impact. Products carrying only the statewide Florida Building Code approval do not meet the HVHZ standard and will fail final inspection. If you are replacing windows in Kendall West, the NOA is not optional. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will show you the NOA number for every unit on your quote before you spend a dollar.
Tight lots in Kendall West’s planned subdivisions often have zero-lot-line setbacks, which means there is no side yard to stage materials. We typically have to stage on the driveway, coordinate curb space with a neighbor, or schedule a partial material drop and bring the rest on the install day. That adds a modest amount of labor, usually $200-$500 depending on the home and the opening count. We will tell you upfront whether your lot triggers that cost. The estimate is free, and the line item is transparent.
Yes. Because Kendall West is unincorporated Miami-Dade, every impact window and door replacement requires a permit through Miami-Dade’s building department. The inspector will verify that the stamped NOA number on each installed unit exactly matches the approved product listing. We handle the permit application, the product submittals, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job. We also stand there with you during the final if you want us there.
The most common failure is seal deterioration in the original single-pane aluminum frames, which lets humidity into the track and accelerates corrosion. On many pre-1993 Kendall West homes, the original jalousie or slider windows are still in place, and the aluminum has pitted where the Everglades humidity sat against the frame for thirty years. The second most common issue is failed insulated glass seals in early replacement units, leaving fog between the panes. Both conditions mean the window is no longer doing its job for wind, water, or energy. Call (754) 238-2201 for an assessment; the estimate is free.
In almost all cases, no. Impact-rated glazing in Kendall West is tested and approved as a complete assembly: frame, glass, and hardware working together to meet the HVHZ wind-load and debris-impact standard. A generic impact glass unit dropped into an old non-rated aluminum frame does not carry a valid Miami-Dade NOA, and the inspector will fail it. The correct fix is a full replacement with an NOA-listed product. We will show you what that costs for your specific openings, side by side with the numbers printed, before you commit.
