Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Kendall
Window replacement in Kendall costs between $850 and $2,400 per opening for most single-family homes, with full-frame impact-rated work on 1970s CBS houses typically running $1,200 to $1,900 per window. The price difference comes down to one thing most homeowners don’t learn until a permit gets rejected: every window sold in Kendall has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We’ve been replacing windows in Kendall long enough that our quotes already account for that. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs, on paper, before you spend a dollar.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Kendall homeowners call us because they’ve already learned the hard way that a cheap window quote that skips NOA certification isn’t a deal, it’s a stalled permit and an insurance cancellation letter. Our crews work Kendall neighborhoods from West Kendall to the Falls every week, so we know the housing stock. The original single-pane aluminum sliders on your 1980 CBS home are not the same job as the wood-frame windows on a 1960s ranch near Kendall Drive. We price them differently because they are different jobs.
We measure every opening twice, register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and we answer our phone. Not a voicemail tree. A person. At 2 a.m. during a hurricane watch, that matters. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the Window Replacement standard we bring to every Kendall home.
Our Window Replacement Services in Kendall
Full Frame Replacement
Most Kendall homes built in the 1970s and 1980s still have the original aluminum frames. Salt-laden humidity has spent forty years working on that metal. Pulling the sash and dropping a new window into a corroded frame would be a waste of your money, so we remove the entire frame, inspect the rough opening, flash it properly for Miami-Dade wind-driven rain, and set a new NOA-certified unit. On a 1979 CBS home near Killian Drive, our crew replaced eight original single-pane aluminum sliders that had corroded frames and failed seals. We installed impact-rated casements with fusion-welded frames and argon-filled low-E insulated glass. The permit passed in one submission, and the homeowner’s insurer confirmed the policy discount within a week of final inspection.

Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frames are square, intact, and not corroded, an insert replacement saves labor and money. Insert work in Kendall runs $850 to $1,400 per window depending on size and glass package. The catch for Kendall homeowners is that many early-1980s aluminum frames look fine from ten feet away but fail a moisture test under the sill. We’ll tell you honestly whether your frames can carry a new insert or whether we’re doing full frame work. We don’t sell inserts into frames that will fail in five years.

Storm Window Replacement
Storm window replacement in Kendall means something different than it does in Ohio. Here, the storm window is your primary defense against wind-borne debris in a Category 4 or 5 event. A storm window that does not carry a Miami-Dade NOA is not a storm window, it is a liability. We install impact-rated storm units with laminated glass and reinforced frames that meet the 150+ mph design wind speeds Miami-Dade code requires for Kendall. Every unit gets its NOA number documented on your permit and on your invoice, because your insurer will ask for that paperwork.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
South Miami-Dade’s year-round humidity means your air conditioner runs harder and your glazing seals degrade faster than they would in Central Florida. An energy-efficient upgrade in Kendall usually pairs low-E insulated glass with a gas fill to cut solar heat gain through east- and west-facing windows. Most Kendall homeowners replace their original single-pane sliders with double-pane low-E units and see a measurable drop in their FPL bill within the first full summer. We quote Andersen, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems lines side by side on paper so you can see the U-factor and SHGC numbers before you choose.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Kendall homes we stock and quote, ES Windows most often. Each of these manufacturers produces Miami-Dade NOA-certified impact products, which narrows the field considerably. We keep local parts inventory for common Kendall sizes, and if a warranty claim ever comes up, we handle the paperwork. You won’t find yourself dialing a manufacturer’s regional office and explaining your issue to a new representative every time.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Permit rejections from wrong product approvals. A contractor submits a Florida Statewide product approval number, and Miami-Dade rejects it because only the NOA governs here. That stalls your job for weeks. We submit NOA documentation with the permit application the first time.
- Undisclosed non-impact windows. A quote that looks $400 per window cheaper usually skips impact glazing. That home becomes uninsurable or gets surcharged heavily at renewal. We only quote NOA-certified impact products for Kendall because that’s what actually protects your house.
- Hidden corrosion inside original aluminum frames. Salt-laden tropical humidity eats aluminum frames faster than homeowners expect. A fogged seal is often the first visible sign that the frame itself is structurally done. We test the frame before recommending repair over replacement.
- Jalousie windows still in service. Many original Kendall homes still have jalousie windows. They leak air, they leak water in a wind-driven rain, and they cannot meet HVHZ impact requirements. Replacing them with NOA-certified casement or horizontal roller windows usually requires full frame work because the rough opening is non-standard.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Kendall, FL
Plan on these ranges for Kendall: $850 to $1,400 per opening for insert replacement in sound frames, $1,200 to $1,900 per opening for full-frame impact-rated replacement, and $1,800 to $2,400 per opening for large custom openings or non-standard arch-top windows. Storm-rated impact units with laminated glass add roughly $200 to $350 per window over standard non-impact glass, but in Kendall that is not an optional upgrade. Our quotes are fixed, written, line-item, and include the permit fee, the NOA documentation, and both warranty registrations. We do not add surprise line items. A senior or veteran discount of 5% applies permanently to every quote we write. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll come measure, then leave you a written price on the spot.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Kendall
Kendall sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the only jurisdiction in the continental United States where a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is the controlling product approval document for windows and doors. A Florida Statewide product approval does not satisfy Miami-Dade code. If your installer submits an FL number, the permit gets rejected and your job waits. We submit NOA numbers with every Kendall permit application, because that’s what the county requires and what your insurer will ask to see.
Kendall windows must meet design wind speeds exceeding 150 mph under Miami-Dade HVHZ code, depending on your home’s exact location and exposure category. A window rated for Central Florida or Broward County does not automatically qualify. We quote only products with NOA documentation showing the actual design pressure rating for your specific opening size, not a generic brochure number.
No. Jalousie windows cannot meet Miami-Dade HVHZ impact or wind-load requirements, and replacing just the glass leaves the frame, the hardware, and the air leakage problem intact. Most Kendall jalousie openings require full frame replacement with a modern NOA-certified casement or horizontal roller. We’ll frame out and trim the opening properly, and the new window will function better than the original ever did.
Florida insurers are actively canceling or surcharging Kendall policies when the home lacks NOA-certified impact openings. If a storm damages your home and the windows were not compliant, the claim can be reduced or denied. If they are compliant and the NOA number is on the permit and invoice, your claim process is straightforward. We document every NOA number and provide the paperwork your insurer will want, before you ever need to file a claim.
A compliant Kendall quote includes the NOA number for each product, the design pressure rating for your specific opening size, the permit fee line item, written warranty registration for both manufacturer layers, and installation by a crew that measures twice and sets the window square. A cheap quote leaves out the NOA documentation, skips impact glazing, buries the permit fee, and then the job stalls or the insurance renewal arrives with a surcharge. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll show you the difference in writing, on paper, side by side.
