Every installation in Kendall requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), not merely a statewide Florida Product Approval, because this area sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ).

Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Kendall

Impact-Resistant Windows

Every impact-resistant window we install in Kendall carries a Miami-Dade NOA matched to the opening’s design pressure, which in this HVHZ zone can run high enough to require laminated glass with a polyvinyl butyral interlayer and reinforced frames. We specify PGT, CGI, or Therma-Tru units by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. For west-facing walls toward Biscayne Bay, we favor anodized or marine-grade coatings that resist salt-air corrosion.

Hurricane Impact Windows

Hurricane impact windows in Kendall are not a product category separate from code-compliant impact units - they are the same NOA-rated assemblies required for HVHZ installation. The difference is in the specification: we match the design pressure to the wind zone, the exposure, and the height of the opening above grade. A second-story gable-end window in Country Walk faces different loads than a ground-floor slider in Kendale Lakes. We measure both and write the specification accordingly.

Single Hung Impact Windows

Single hung impact windows are the workhorse replacement for Kendall’s older CBS homes with original aluminum jalousie or slider units. The fixed upper sash and operable lower sash simplify the impact-rated design, and the vertical profile fits the narrow rough openings common in 1970s and 1980s construction. Typical installed cost in Kendall runs $900-$1,800 per unit, depending on frame material, glazing package, and whether the existing framing requires upgrade to carry the HVHZ load.

Double Hung Impact Windows

Double hung impact windows suit Kendall homes where both sashes need to operate for cleaning or ventilation, particularly in two-story configurations where exterior access is limited. The tilt-in feature is practical, but the hardware must be rated for the design pressure - we specify CGI or PGT units with tested tilt latches and reinforced meeting rails. These run toward the higher end of the single-hung range, often $1,200-$2,200 installed in Kendall.

Horizontal Roller & Sliding Impact Windows

Horizontal roller and sliding impact windows dominate Kendall’s post-Andrew rebuild stock, where wide openings and patio access are common. The roller design distributes wind load across multiple locking points, critical in HVHZ zones. We see these specified heavily in the 1990s rebuild homes in Country Walk, where the original sliders are now reaching end of service life. Replacement requires careful matching of the operating force and the sill profile to maintain drainage.

Wind Mitigation & HVHZ Code Compliance

Wind mitigation and HVHZ code compliance is not a separate service - it is embedded in every Kendall installation we perform. We document the opening protection, the glazing specification, and the installation method for the wind mitigation inspection that follows. The inspector verifies NOA compliance, proper anchorage, and continuous load path. Our documentation package supports that inspection. Homeowners typically see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion after passing, though carriers set final numbers.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We draw from eight verified manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - specified by performance tier and price range, not by margin. For Kendall’s salt-air exposure and HVHZ loads, we most often reach for PGT and CGI impact units with marine-grade hardware and anodized finishes. Therma-Tru entry systems complete the envelope where door replacement is part of the scope. We do not stock inventory in a warehouse and push what we own; we measure, specify, and order to the opening.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Original jalousie windows in pre-Andrew homes. These single-pane aluminum units with louvered glass slats provide no impact protection and cannot legally remain in place when permitted work is performed. In Kendale Lakes and Country Walk, we replace these with NOA-rated vertical or horizontal units, often requiring header and framing upgrades to carry the design pressure.
• Salt-air corrosion on west-facing aluminum frames. Kendall’s proximity to Biscayne Bay means chloride exposure accelerates pitting and hardware failure on standard anodized finishes. We specify marine-grade coatings and stainless or zinc-dichromate hardware for these exposures.
• Failed waterproofing behind original sliders. Opening a 1980s slider often reveals deteriorated stucco, missing or hardened sealant, and wood buck damage at the jamb. We photograph everything, write a revised allowance, and repair before setting the new unit. No work proceeds without written approval of the change.
• Non-HVHZ product approvals rejected at inspection. Customers sometimes purchase Florida Product Approval units online or through out-of-county suppliers, only to have Miami-Dade inspectors reject them. Kendall requires Miami-Dade NOA. We verify the NOA number against the current approved list before ordering.

Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall, FL

What Impact Windows & Doors Costs in Kendall

Four factors push Kendall jobs toward the higher end: first, pre-Andrew framing that lacks HVHZ anchorage; second, second-story or gable-end exposures with higher design pressures; third, west-facing walls requiring marine-grade finishes; fourth, the discovery of failed waterproofing or deteriorated stucco once the old unit is removed. We inspect first, photograph what we find, and write any necessary allowance into the contract before work begins. If we open the wall and find something unexpected, we stop, document, price the revision, and obtain your written approval before continuing.

On a 1979 CBS home in Kendale Lakes, our crew opened the wall around an original jalousie window and found the header lacking the required HVHZ anchorage plus deteriorated stucco at the jamb, so we wrote a revised allowance before touching the opening. We upgraded the framing to carry the design pressure required by the Miami-Dade NOA, reset the rough opening, and set a PGT impact unit with laminated glass interlayer and marine-grade hardware rated for salt air. The homeowner’s carrier bound the policy only after receiving the wind mitigation documentation.

Florida Pays You Back

Several programs reduce the net cost of impact window and door replacement in Kendall. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades - the state matches homeowner funds dollar-for-dollar. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit provides 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After installation and wind-mitigation inspection, windstorm premium credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy, though individual carriers determine final credits. Programs and tax treatments change; we document current status at the time of your quote but do not guarantee eligibility.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: The Permanent Difference

Impact windows provide permanent protection; hurricane shutters require installation before each storm and storage between events. In Kendall’s HVHZ zone, impact-rated glazing also satisfies the continuous protection requirement for wind-mitigation credits without the annual maintenance and deployment labor of shutter systems. Shutters protect glass but do not improve energy performance, daylighting, or noise reduction. Impact units do all three. We do not sell or install hurricane shutters; we install impact-rated window and door systems that remove the need for them.
