AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Kendall
Window Replacement in Kendall runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard openings, with whole-home packages typically landing between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on opening count and frame choice. Kendall sits entirely inside the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every unit has to carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. If it doesn’t, the inspector will flag it and the window gets ordered off the house. Call us at (850) 721-1218 and we’ll quote the work against the right product approvals the first time.
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been pulling failed windows out of Kendall homes long enough to know what the county requires before the truck ever rolls. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, and crews serve Kendall daily. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
Kendall homeowners have spent decades dealing with a specific headache: post-Andrew impact windows that passed inspection in 1996 and now fail the current NOA check. That’s the work we do most. When a homeowner in Kendale Lakes calls about a fogged pane or a casement window that won’t lock, we know to check two things before quoting: the current Miami-Dade NOA on file for that SKU, and whether the original product approval still matches today’s code. Most general contractors don’t run that check. We do it on every estimate.
Every call is answered by a live person around the clock. No voicemail loop, no call center. When a storm is sitting off the coast and a window won’t close, a Kendall homeowner can call at any hour and reach someone who can actually help. Technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and driving a marked vehicle. Before the first handshake, you know who’s at your door.
We back the work with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Ed’s word carries that: not a ticket number, not a warranty department in another state. Ed Winslow, the owner, lives with his name on every installation we complete in Kendall.
Our Impact Windows Services in Kendall
Impact Window Installation
Most Kendall homes are concrete block construction from the 1970s through early 1990s. Those openings take full-frame replacements, not retrofit inserts. We measure each opening for design pressure, pull the correct NOA for the window’s size and configuration, and install to Miami-Dade code. The inspector verifies rough-in, then final. We’re there for both, and the permit gets closed.
Impact Window Replacement
Kendall’s post-Andrew housing stock is now 25 to 30 years old. First-generation impact units from the mid-90s are failing: clouded interlayers, corroded jambs, balances that won’t hold the sash up. We replace those units with current generation windows carrying active NOAs and large-missile ratings. The old window might still say “impact rated” on the sticker; if the NOA expired, it won’t count for insurance anymore.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors & French Doors
Kendall’s ranch-style homes and later two-story builds in neighborhoods like The Crossings and Hammocks often have wide sliding door openings facing the back patio. Those doors have to handle wind loads at ground level facing open yards. We replace them with Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Kendall from PGT or ECO Window Systems, matched to the opening’s design pressure, and the inspector checks the NOA on those units just like a window.
Impact Windows for Insurance Compliance
Homeowners in Kendall call us for one reason above all: they need windows that actually reduce their windstorm premium. That requires a current NOA, a large-missile rating, and a completed wind mitigation inspection. We install to the configuration that lets that inspection come back clean. If the window can’t be counted for the credit, we tell you before we install it, not after.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru. Kendall homeowners often come to us with a specific product line in mind, and we’ll quote it honestly against the opening’s wind-load requirements and the current NOA list. When a replacement part or sash is needed, we order directly through the manufacturer’s local distribution channel, which means faster turnaround for Kendall jobs than a shop that has to special-order through a third party. Our Impact Windows team keeps a running list of NOA-approved SKUs for Miami-Dade so quotes are accurate from the first visit.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Fogged double-pane glass: Kendall’s humidity pushes seal failure faster than most of Florida. We see insulated units fogging between the panes in 10 to 15 years, and sometimes sooner on west-facing walls that take the afternoon sun.
- Corroded locking hardware: Salt air and daily afternoon storms eat at locking points and balances on impact casement and double-hung windows. Glass survives, hardware fails, and the window won’t lock or hold position.
- Clouded laminate interlayer: First-generation impact glass from the mid-90s develops a milky haze in the PVB interlayer. The window still stops wind, but it looks broken and blocks the view. Replacement is the only fix.
- Outdated NOA: A window installed in 1996 under one NOA may now fail the current Miami-Dade product approval check. If the NOA on file no longer matches the product’s configuration today, the inspector can reject it and the insurance wind mitigation credit is off the table.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Kendall, FL
Standard impact single-hung windows in Kendall run $900 to $1,800 per window installed. Casements and picture windows land in the same range depending on size. Large or custom openings, like a full-width slider or a geometric window above a door, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages across a typical Kendall CBS home sit between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on how many openings, what frame material, and what the design pressure comes back at for each window.
Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll schedule a free in-home measure. We quote a written, line-item price before any work starts, and the price does not change once the job begins. No surprise change orders. The Done Right Promise covers the install on top of the manufacturer’s warranty.
What Impact Windows Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical Range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Standard impact window (installed) | $800 – $1,500 per window |
| Impact single-hung (installed) | $900 – $1,800 per window |
| Large or custom opening | $2,500 – $5,000 |
| Whole-home package | $8,000 – $25,000+ |
What moves the price in Kendall specifically: opening count, floor height, and wind zone. A second-story window on a home at the western edge of Kendall near Krome Avenue may carry a higher design pressure requirement than a ground-floor window in a neighborhood closer to Westchester. Frame material matters too: aluminum is standard for Miami-Dade impact work, and premium lines like PGT or CGI cost more than entry-level options that still meet NOA. We give you the per-opening breakdown so you see exactly where the dollars go. Free in-home measure and written quote, every time.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack, but the final numbers come from the programs and your carrier. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), most Kendall homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We can’t guarantee the exact credit amount. What we can do is install windows that document compliance properly so the inspection comes back clean.
How Kendall’s Code Actually Works
Kendall sits entirely inside the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every impact window and door has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Not just a Florida Product Approval. A Florida Product Approval alone is enough in Broward, but not here. The NOA is product-specific down to the SKU, size, and configuration. A PGT double-hung that passes in Plantation can be rejected in Kendall if the specific size and frame configuration isn’t listed on the current NOA. Our Impact Windows in Kendall crews check the Miami-Dade product approval database before quoting, not after.
In The Crossings, we pulled out a mid-90s first-generation impact window whose laminated glass interlayer had clouded and whose jamb had corroded to the point the sash wouldn’t lock. We replaced it with a PGT double-hung carrying a current Miami-Dade NOA and large-missile rating. The inspector pulled the NOA number at rough-in, verified it against the Miami-Dade database, and signed off at final so the homeowner could file for the wind mitigation credit. That’s what a compliant quote includes. A cheap quote leaves the NOA check out, and the homeowner finds out at rough-in inspection when the window gets ordered off the house.
Miami-Dade inspectors enforce NOA compliance twice: at rough-in, when the opening is prepped and the window is in place but not sealed, and again at final. If the NOA doesn’t match the unit, the inspector fails the inspection and the window has to come out. Homeowners who bought from a big-box retail install that didn’t pull local permits often discover this the hard way. We pull permits on every Kendall installation and stand there for both inspections.
Impact Windows vs Hurricane Shutters: What Kendall Homeowners Ask
Shutters meet code if they’re rated and installed right, but they only protect when someone is home to hang them. Impact windows protect the opening permanently. No panels to drag out of the garage, no tracks to maintain, no decision to make when the storm is 48 hours out and you’re boarding up at midnight. For Kendall homeowners who travel or work long hours, impact windows are the answer because they’re always on. And unlike shutters, impact windows qualify for the same wind mitigation credits plus the federal energy credit and the state sales-tax exemption. Shutters don’t get you those.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Kendall
Yes. Kendall is inside the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every impact window and door installed in Kendall must carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), which is stricter than a Florida Product Approval. A Florida Product Approval alone is enough in Broward County, but not in Kendall. The NOA is specific to the product’s SKU, size, and configuration. Call (850) 721-1218 for an exact quote on a window that meets Kendall’s code.
Check the NOA number on the current product approval against the Miami-Dade database, and then order a wind mitigation inspection. If the NOA is expired or the product configuration no longer matches, the window won’t count for the credit. Homes with post-Andrew windows installed in the mid-90s often fail this check. We can run the NOA verification for you. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll check the database before we quote.
Miami-Dade requires a rough-in inspection when the window is set but not sealed, and a final inspection after everything is finished. The inspector verifies the NOA at both stages. If the window doesn’t match the approved configuration, the rough-in fails and the window comes out. We manage the permit and attend both inspections. Call (850) 721-1218 to schedule your free estimate.
A large-missile rating means the window was tested against a nine-pound two-by-four fired at it at 34 miles per hour and the glass stayed intact. A design pressure rating measures the wind load the window assembly can withstand before failure. Both are required at different elevations and wind zones in Kendall. The opening’s height and exposure dictate the DP number, and we match every unit to its opening’s rating. Call (850) 721-1218 for a free in-home measure.
Usually no. If the frame is original to the 1990s, the NOA on file may not match the current configuration, and a glass-only replacement can’t be re-certified without the original frame’s product approval. Most Kendall homeowners end up replacing the full unit. We’ll assess the existing frame and the NOA status before recommending replacement. Call (850) 721-1218 for a free evaluation.
