Window Replacement in Kendall - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Kendall

Window replacement in Kendall costs between $800 and $1,500 per opening for a standard Miami-Dade NOA-certified impact unit installed, with whole-home packages running $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and frame material. Most full replacements in Kendall are insurance-driven: a wind-mitigation inspection flags pre-1992 jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows, and the only code-legal fix is full tear-out and NOA-certified impact replacement.

We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been replacing windows in Kendall long enough to know which homes still have original jalousies, which subdivisions got rebuilt after Andrew, and which frame materials actually hold up to salt air off Biscayne Bay. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’re not a national chain with a rotating cast of subcontractors. We’re locally owned by Ed Winslow, we’ve been in business since 2011, and our published address and license number mean you can verify exactly who you’re hiring. When you call about Window Replacement, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center. A person who knows Kendall, knows the HVHZ code, and can talk specifics about your 1970s CBS tract home without pulling up a script.

Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. And every window we install carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.

We also run a permanent standing offer that no big-box installer will match: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the home county, and a 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those aren’t promotions. They’re how we do business.

Our Window Replacement Services in Kendall

We handle the full range of window replacement work in Kendall, from single-opening tear-outs to whole-home NOA compliance packages. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Full Frame Replacement

When the entire window assembly comes out down to the rough opening, you get a full frame replacement. That’s the standard for Kendall homes with jalousie windows, rotted or corroded frames, or openings that never got flashed properly in the first place. We remove everything, inspect the opening, correct any water damage, and install a new NOA-certified frame with high-density foam in every jamb. This is the fix that actually passes a wind-mitigation re-inspection.

Insert Window Replacement

If your existing frames are square, sound, and code-compliant, we can install replacement inserts without disturbing interior trim or stucco. That’s faster and cheaper, and it’s a good fit for newer Kendall homes where the frame survived but the glass unit failed. We’ll measure, order, and install while keeping your home sealed against weather throughout the job.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

For Kendall homeowners who don’t want to think about corrosion again, vinyl frames are the answer. They don’t oxidize like the original 1980s aluminum sliders that now bind and leak across Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks. We install vinyl in both impact and non-impact configurations, always with Miami-Dade NOA certification when impact rating is required. Vinyl holds its finish in salt air and doesn’t transfer heat the way aluminum does, which matters when your south-facing rooms start baking by 2 p.m.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Kendall’s year-round heat and humidity put real strain on insulated glass units. Original IGUs in pre-1992 homes lose their argon fill and fail seals after 15 to 20 years, leaving fogged panes that no repair restores. Low-E impact glass with laminated interlayers cuts solar gain dramatically, and it’s the same glass that meets HVHZ design pressure. One upgrade solves two problems: compliance and cooling costs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We’re authorized installers for eight premium brands, and on Kendall jobs we lean on PGT, CGI, and Mr-Glass most often. PGT impact casements and sliders dominate the Kendall replacement market for good reason: consistent NOA paperwork, good lead times, and components that hold up to salt-laden air. We stock common Mr-Glass hardware for quick turnarounds on insert jobs, and we can quote Therma-Tru when the job includes entry doors. We don’t push one brand. We push the right spec for your opening and your insurance carrier’s requirements.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Jalousie tear-outs in pre-1980s CBS tract homes. Original louvered glass windows cannot be retrofitted to meet Miami-Dade NOA impact standards under any circumstance. When insurers flag them, full removal and replacement is the only fix.
• Salt-corroded aluminum frames and hardware. Salt air from Biscayne Bay oxidizes uncoated aluminum fast enough that original 1980s sliders bind, leak, or fail wind-mitigation inspection within two to three decades.
• Failed insulated glass units. Subtropical heat and humidity kill IGUs early. Once the argon fill escapes and the seal fails, you get fogged panes that no repair restores to energy code.
• Insurance-driven wind-mitigation corrections. Pre-1992 single-pane aluminum windows can’t meet HVHZ design pressure or large-missile rating, so a routine inspection turns into a mandatory replacement list.

Pricing for Window Replacement in Kendall, FL

What Window Replacement Costs in Kendall

If you’re budgeting from scratch, start with the numbers above and work backward from your opening count. A three-bedroom CBS tract home in The Hammocks with 12 openings will typically land in the $9,600 to $18,000 range for full NOA impact replacement. A smaller Kendale Lakes ranch with 8 openings might run $6,400 to $12,000. Custom geometric windows, second-story work, or extensive water-damage correction push the number higher. We measure every opening, review your wind-mitigation report if you have one, and give you an exact written quote. Free. No obligation.

Florida Pays You Back

The incentives stack if you know where to look. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Florida has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors. There’s also the federal 25C energy credit: 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs $75 to $150), most Kendall homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t guarantee those numbers. Your carrier and program eligibility set the final amount. But we’ll point you toward every credit you qualify for.

Salt Air Decides the Materials, Not the Schedule

Kendall sits far enough inland that people sometimes think salt air isn’t a factor. It is. Biscayne Bay and Florida Bay send salt-laden moisture across the whole area, and it settles on window frames, hardware, and fasteners. We see the result constantly: original 1980s aluminum sliders in Kendale Lakes and West Kendall with oxidized frames, corroded tracks, and hardware that binds so badly the window won’t lock. The cheap fix is another aluminum frame with zinc-plated hardware. It fails again within a decade. The Kendall-correct fix is vinyl or marine-grade aluminum with stainless steel hardware and sealed joints. It costs more upfront, maybe 15 to 20 percent more than the inland spec, but it’s the difference between one job and two jobs over the life of the home. Buy the cheap spec and you’ll be back. Buy the coastal spec and you’re done.

We just replaced eight original jalousie windows in a Kendale Lakes CBS home after the homeowner’s wind-mitigation inspection came back with insurer-required corrections. Our crew pulled the old louvers and installed Miami-Dade NOA-certified PGT impact casements with laminated glass interlayers, stainless steel hardware, and high-density foam in every jamb. The homeowner’s insurance credit kicked in immediately, and the south-facing rooms stopped baking by 2 p.m. That’s the job, start to finish.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Kendall

Shutters are cheaper upfront, maybe half the price of impact windows. But shutters only protect what’s behind them when someone is home to hang them, and they do nothing for energy efficiency the other 364 days a year. Impact windows protect permanently, no panels to hang, no storage, no scramble when a storm warning hits. And impact windows qualify for the insurance credits that shutters don’t always trigger. For a Kendall homeowner already facing a jalousie tear-out or failed IGU replacement, the upgrade to impact is the better long-term call. You were paying for new windows anyway. Make them count.
