Fast, Reliable Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Across Kendall

Sliding glass and patio doors in Kendall, FL typically cost $1,200 to $4,800 installed, depending on the opening size, wind-load rating, and whether you’re replacing a tired original unit or a first-generation impact door from the 1990s. That’s the honest range. What most homeowners don’t know until inspection day is whether their existing opening will even pass Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, which is where our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors team earns its keep.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Services in Kendall

Every home in Kendall has different needs, but the job usually falls into one of four buckets.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

An original 1970s aluminum slider in a CBS home off Kendall Drive was never built for current design pressures. We pull the old unit, inspect the framing behind the stucco, and install a replacement that’s NOA-approved for Miami-Dade. Many Kendall homeowners are surprised to learn their existing opening has rotted jamb framing or an undersized lintel hiding behind drywall. We take care of that before the new door goes in, because inspectors in this county check.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Kendall sits squarely in the HVHZ. That means any new sliding door has to withstand sustained winds over 130 mph and pass large-missile impact testing. We install PGT, CGI, and ECO Window Systems impact sliders that carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, the same standard required for Impact Garage Doors - Kendall. No Broward-only approvals, no hoping the inspector doesn’t check the database. Every unit we quote for Kendall is verified against the county’s current product approval list before we send you the number.

Patio Door Repair

Kendall’s seasonal storms and relentless humidity do a number on rollers, tracks, and hardware. A slider that’s hard to open, grinding, or sagging off its track is often repairable for far less than a full replacement. We carry rollers, handle sets, and track components for most brands found in Kendall homes, including Mr-Glass and Therma-Tru units installed during the post-Andrew rebuild.

Custom and Oversized Sliding Doors

If you’re opening up a wall, going wider, or putting in a four-panel slider across the back of a house in The Crossings, that’s a different animal. Design pressure goes up with the opening width, so the frame and glass package have to be spec’d accordingly. We handle the engineering, the NOA paperwork, and the install. ViewLux makes some beautiful large-format sliders and Kendall Custom & Geometric Windows that hold up under Miami-Dade’s toughest testing, and we’re an authorized installer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We’re authorized installers for eight premium manufacturers, including PGT, CGI, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru. The brands we mention most in Kendall are PGT, ECO Window Systems. That covers the full range from high-value replacements to custom architectural openings. Because we order directly and stock local parts, repairs and replacements for Kendall customers move faster than going through a big-box retailer’s subcontracting chain.

Common Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Failed laminated glass interlayers. Post-Andrew impact sliders from the mid-to-late 1990s are now 25 to 30 years old, and many have seals failing between the glass interlayers. The result is visible clouding inside the pane, which can’t be repaired. It’s a full glass package replacement, and it’s one of the most common calls we get in Kendall.
• Undersized lintels from original construction. Homes built in Kendall’s 1970s boom went up fast. We pulled an original 1978 aluminum slider from a CBS home in Kendale Lakes and found the lintel undersized and rotted jamb framing behind the stucco. Our techs reframed the opening to HVHZ design pressure, installed a PGT 5700 with laminated glass interlayer, and filed the NOA paperwork before rough-in. Inspection passed first time.
• Corroded rollers and hardware. Kendall’s humidity plus seasonal salt air is brutal on moving parts. Even newer sliders get stuck rollers, seized handles, and jumpy tracks. Some of these we can repair. Others are so far gone that replacement is cheaper than fighting the door for another year.
• Broward-approved units that don’t meet Miami-Dade code. We see this all the time. A homeowner gets a quote from an out-of-town contractor, buys a door with a Broward County Florida Product Approval, and finds out at inspection that Miami-Dade won’t accept it. Every sliding glass door replaced in Kendall must carry a Miami-Dade NOA, and inspectors will reject, sometimes after installation, any unit listed in the county’s revoked-approval database. That trap catches out-of-town brands every week in neighborhoods like The Hammocks. We check the approval database before we quote, not after the door is in the wall.

What Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Kendall

Impact windows in Kendall generally land between $800 and $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a wide sliding patio door or a full wall of glass, range from $2,500 to $5,000 or more. Whole-home packages across a typical CBS single-family in The Hammocks or The Crossings fall between $8,000 and $25,000 plus, depending on how many openings you’re doing.

What moves the price in Kendall is straightforward. Opening count is the biggest one. Wind zone matters, and Kendall is in the stricter end of Florida’s map. Floor height changes design pressure requirements, so a second-story slider costs a bit more than ground-floor. Frame material matters too: aluminum impact frames cost less than vinyl or clad wood, but they feel different and last differently in our humidity. We give you the options and the real numbers, in writing, before you commit.

Florida Pays You Back

If your sliding glass and patio doors meet wind-mitigation standards, there are real dollars on the table. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact-rated doors and windows. Florida also has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, so you’re not paying state sales tax on a significant chunk of your project. The federal 25C energy credit adds up to 30% of product cost, capped at $600 per year for qualifying units.

Then there’s the windstorm insurance piece. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many Kendall homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We can’t promise what your carrier will do, but the inspection typically pays for itself within the first year.

What Opening Up an Older Kendall Home Actually Turns Up

Here’s the thing nobody tells you about replacing a sliding door in Kendall. You pop out the old unit from a 1970s CBS home, and the wall behind it is rarely ready for a new door. Outdated wiring run through the jamb. Undersized or rotted framing hidden behind stucco. Failed waterproofing that’s been silently soaking the sill plate for decades. And the moment the permit is pulled, Miami-Dade code upgrades kick in. This is the single biggest reason a sliding door quote moves after the work starts.

We handle it differently. Before you sign, we do a real inspection. We pull the interior trim, check the framing, and look at what’s behind the stucco. If we find structural issues or electrical that won’t pass code, we write an allowance into the contract, a specific dollar amount with a defined scope. If we open the wall and find something worse, you get a written change order with the exact price before any additional work happens. Approved in writing, or we don’t touch it.

That’s how Ed runs the company. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice. And if it’s not done right, the Done Right Promise means we make it right. It’s that simple.
