The most common question we hear: “Can you replace everything before hurricane season?” Our answer is almost always yes, as fast as a single day once your units arrive, with custom fabrication running 4 to 6 weeks.

Why Kendall Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not a slogan; it’s how we’ve operated since 2011. Kendall homeowners tell us the same thing again and again: they’re tired of contractors who quote one price, disappear for three weeks, then show up with a change order. We don’t work that way. Upfront pricing means the number on your written estimate is the number on your final invoice. No surprises.
In The Hammocks, where 1980s CBS tract homes still carry original aluminum sliders, we’ve replaced dozens of openings this year alone. Over in Kendale Lakes, we see jalousie windows on nearly every pre-1980s street, and each one is a full replacement job, not a repair. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and arrive knowing exactly which product approval applies to your opening before they step out of the truck. And we back every installation with the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. A lasting standard of accountability no national chain can match.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Kendall homes. We install laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, engineered for HVHZ wind pressures exceeding 170 mph where Kendall’s wind zone requires it. Every opening gets a design pressure rating matched to its specific size and exposure, never a rating above +100/-100. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Kendall.
Window Installation
Window installation in Kendall starts with measuring each opening precisely, checking for settled concrete block frames, and verifying that your product approval matches the county’s current NOA requirements. We install PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru. Learn more about our Window Installation in Kendall.
Window Replacement
Most Kendall window replacements remove original single-pane aluminum or jalousie units that predate Hurricane Andrew. Replacement means full removal and new NOA-certified installation, never retrofitting. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Kendall.
Door Installation
Exterior doors in Kendall face salt-laden air from Biscayne Bay and year-round humidity. We install impact-rated entry doors, fiberglass doors from Therma-Tru, and custom configurations that hold up to Miami-Dade’s wind and moisture requirements.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliding glass doors are the weak point on most Kendall homes built before 2002. We replace them with impact-rated units that meet current NOA standards, eliminating the need for shutters or plywood when a storm approaches.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-efficient windows in Kendall cut cooling loads by 20 to 30 percent in most homes, particularly on west-facing elevations along Kendall Drive and Miller Drive. Low-E coatings and insulated frames pay back fastest in our year-round heat.
Impact Garage Doors
Impact garage doors protect one of the largest openings in your home. Kendall’s HVHZ requirements demand a garage door that can withstand the same wind pressures as your windows, and we install impact-rated doors built for Miami-Dade conditions.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Custom and geometric windows let Kendall homeowners preserve architectural character while meeting code. We’ve installed arched, radius, and trapezoid units in everything from mid-century ranches to newer custom builds.
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Kendall often means addressing wind-lifted shingles or tile damage after a storm passes. We respond quickly, document everything for insurance, and fix it right the first time.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Roof replacement in Kendall must meet Miami-Dade’s strict wind-load requirements. We install roofing systems engineered for HVHZ conditions, including proper fastening patterns and secondary water barriers.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing each suit different Kendall homes. Tile matches the Mediterranean-style architecture common in Kendall, metal handles our heat and humidity well, and shingle offers a cost-effective option that still meets code. Home to see how we approach each job.

Why Kendall’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendall sits squarely in Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, where every window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. That’s a certification standard more rigorous than neighboring Broward County and the rest of Florida. Most Kendall homes are concrete block structure tract houses built in waves from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, and many survived or were partially rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew made near-direct landfall here in 1992. Those pre-Andrew homes often still carry original aluminum sliding or jalousie windows that predate the post-Andrew code overhaul, and insurers flag them on wind-mitigation inspections every single year. The region’s year-round heat, humidity, and salt-laden air carried inland from Biscayne Bay and Florida Bay accelerate IGU seal failure, oxidize uncoated aluminum frames, and corrode hardware far faster than in Central or North Florida. That combination means one thing for Kendall homeowners: replacement cycles here run shorter, and the insurance pressure to upgrade never lets up.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Kendall
Florida Pays Kendall Homeowners Back
Florida has real incentives for Kendall homeowners who upgrade to impact-rated windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you roughly 6 to 7 percent on the total project. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many Kendall homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we’ll help you understand what applies to your specific home, but we won’t guarantee a dollar figure until your inspection comes back.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall
How much does impact window replacement cost in Kendall?
Impact window replacement in Kendall typically costs $800 to $1,600 per opening, with most full-home projects landing between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on the number of openings and product line. Call (850) 930-1813 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Why does Kendall require Miami-Dade NOA certification?
Kendall lies within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, where wind speeds during major storms can exceed 170 mph, so standard Florida Product Approval is insufficient and only NOA-stamped units are code-legal for replacement. We only install units that meet this standard.
Can you fix jalousie windows, or do they need full replacement?
Original jalousie windows in pre-1980s Kendall homes cannot be retrofitted to meet Miami-Dade NOA impact standards under any circumstance, so when insurers flag them, you’re looking at full removal and replacement, not repair. The good news: we handle that replacement from start to finish.
Will the price change once work starts?
No. Our upfront pricing means the number on your written estimate is the number on your final invoice, unless you ask us to add scope. Call (850) 930-1813 and we’ll put that in writing.
Do impact windows really make a difference versus hurricane shutters?
Impact windows provide permanent protection with no panels to hang, no storage to manage, and no scrambling as a storm approaches, which is why so many Kendall homeowners choose them after experiencing Andrew’s aftermath. They also deliver year-round security, noise reduction, and energy savings that shutters never will.

What Kendall Customers Say
"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
- Yolanda Betancourt"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
- Henrietta Pemberton"The installation was clean and the windows are beautiful. The factory took about six weeks to deliver the units, which Ed told me upfront, but living behind plywood-framed openings in the meantime still tested my patience."
- Guadalupe Zamorano
