Custom & Geometric Windows in Kendall - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Kendall

If you own a home in Kendall with an arched picture window, a circular accent window, or an oversized opening that faces the street, you already know the headache: standard replacement windows won’t fit, and big-box installers won’t touch anything that isn’t a rectangle. Custom and geometric window work in Kendall is different because Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules apply to every single opening, including the curved ones. We’ve been cutting, ordering, and installing NOA-certified custom windows in Kendall since 2011, and we know exactly what passes inspection here. Call (850) 930-1813 and you’ll speak with a live person who can schedule a free in-home measure, usually within the week.

Kendall sits inside the HVHZ, which means any custom or geometric window you install must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA), not just a Florida Product Approval. Our Custom & Geometric Windows team handles the paperwork, the engineering, and the install so you don’t have to learn code the hard way.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company

Ed Winslow started this business so homeowners in Kendall and across South Florida would never have to chase down a subcontractor who vanished after rough framing a window. We’re locally owned, owner-operated, and our published address and license number mean you can actually find us. When a Kendall homeowner calls about a sagging arched window in a 1980s CBS home, chances are we’ve already replaced the same model three streets over in Kendale Lakes or The Hammocks.

Every technician who arrives at your Kendall door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s on your property before the truck stops. And because we answer our own phones 24/7, you’re never routed through a call center. That matters when a tropical storm warning hits and a curved window seal fails at 9 p.m.

Kendall homeowners consistently tell us two things. One: they want a written line-item quote before any work begins, no vague allowances and no change orders that double the price. Two: they want the job done right the first time, because redoing a custom window means waiting another 4-6 weeks for fabrication. Both are baked into how we work. The Done Right Promise is our guarantee: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a lasting standard, and Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do.

Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Kendall

We build and install windows that match the architecture of your Kendall home, not just the opening. Here’s what we handle most often across Kendall neighborhoods from West Kendall to the Falls.

Custom Impact Windows

Custom impact windows in Kendall start with the NOA. We order units engineered for Miami-Dade design wind speeds exceeding 170 mph, then match the frame profile, glass tint, and hardware to the rest of your home. This is the most common request we get from Kendall homeowners whose insurers pointed at original aluminum single-panes and demanded upgrades. A typical custom impact window for a standard opening in Kendall runs $800 to $1,500 installed, but curved or oversized units go higher. We’ll walk you through the exact line-item costs before you commit.

Geometric & Shaped Windows

Triangles, trapezoids, pentagons, quarter-rounds, and full circles: Kendall tract homes from the 1970s and 1980s used these shapes as focal points above entryways and in living rooms. When the original single-pane glass finally fails, the rough opening often isn’t square anymore. We measure every side, order the exact shape with an NOA-stamped impact glazing package, and set it in a properly flashed buck. No gaps, no caulk-and-hope.

Arched & Curved Windows

Arched and curved windows in Kendall are beautiful, and they’re also the most expensive windows to replace correctly. The rough opening needs a radius buck that matches the existing stucco line, and the impact glass has to be templated to follow that curve. We’ve done enough arched PGT and CGI radius units in Kendall to know which fabricators turn these around reliably. Plan for 4-6 weeks of fabrication time on any curved unit, plus a full day for careful installation and exterior resealing.

Oversized Openings

Homes in The Hammocks and other Kendall communities often feature large picture windows or sliding-glass-adjacent fixed panels that span eight, ten, or even twelve feet. An oversized custom impact window in Kendall typically runs $2,500 to $5,000 installed depending on the span, floor height, and glass package. These units are heavy, and the framing underneath matters as much as the glass. We inspect the header and king studs before we order anything, because a $4,000 window set into a rotten header is a failure waiting for the next hurricane season.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We’re an authorized installer for eight premium window and door brands, and for custom and geometric work in Kendall we most often specify CWS, ES Windows, and Mr-Glass. These manufacturers consistently deliver clean radius corners, accurate templating, and NOA documentation that survives a Kendall building inspection without a single callback. Because we order directly, replacement parts and warranty service for Kendall homeowners don’t get lost in a distributor chain. If a seal fails on a custom CWS unit in your Kendall living room, we handle the claim and the reorder. One phone call to (850) 930-1813, one team on it.

Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Kendall Homes

After 15-plus years working Kendall’s housing stock, we can tell you exactly what tends to fail and why. Here’s what we find most often.

• Failed wind-mitigation inspections. Kendall’s pre-1992 CBS homes often still have original aluminum, jalousie, or single-pane windows. When the wind-mitigation inspector flags them, insurance companies respond with steep surcharges or nonrenewals. The fix is NOA-certified impact replacement, and we handle that end to end.
• Rotted wood bucks behind stucco. The tropical humidity and rain in Kendall get behind the original 1970s and 1980s window bucks and quietly rot them out. We discover this on a significant share of custom window replacements here, particularly in Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks. We sister new framing before setting the new unit.
• Jalousie windows that cannot be retrofitted. Original louvered glass remains in many pre-1980 Kendall homes. You cannot add impact film or interior clips and call a jalousie window code-compliant. When they’re flagged, the only option is full removal and replacement with a NOA-stamped fixed or operable unit. We make that swap cleanly.
• Oversized openings with inadequate headers. A 12-foot picture window in a Kendall tract home from 1979 was often framed with the minimum header allowed at the time. Add a 350-pound laminated impact glass panel and that header sags. We inspect and reinforce before installation, which matters for both inspection compliance and the life of the unit.

What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Kendall

Here are the real numbers for the Kendall market. Impact windows in standard rectangular openings generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. A custom single-hung with impact glass starts around $900 and can reach $1,800 depending on size and frame choice. Large or custom openings, including arched and geometric shapes, typically land between $2,500 and $5,000. A whole-home package for a 1970s or 1980s Kendall CBS home runs anywhere from $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and glass spec.

What moves the price in Kendall? Three things mostly. Opening count and size, because every window you keep adds cost. Height above grade, because second-story custom work needs lifts and additional safety systems. And the glass package: large-missile impact ratings cost more than small-missile, and laminated glass with a clear interlayer costs more than tinted. We give you a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote before you sign anything. Call (850) 930-1813 to schedule yours.

Florida Pays You Back

There’s a meaningful stack of incentives for Kendall homeowners who upgrade to impact-rated custom windows. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows are explicitly eligible. Florida also exempts sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors, which trims 6-7% off the invoice right away. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And because Kendall sits in the HVHZ, many carriers apply a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150. Programs and carrier rules change, so we won’t quote you a guaranteed discount. We’ll show you the documentation your insurer needs and let them set the final numbers.

Working on a Tight Kendall Lot: Staging, Access, and Permits

Kendall’s planned communities are dense by design, and that density changes how custom window work gets done. In Kendale Lakes, zero-lot-line walls run right up against the property line. Hammocks streets often have narrow driveways and shared alleys. A delivery truck with a 10-foot arched impact window can’t just park anywhere. We plan the staging before we order the unit.

On one Kendale Lakes job with a zero-lot-line wall, our crew staged a PGT custom-radius picture window and two flanking casements entirely within the driveway. We built a job-site jamb extension ledger so no material rested on the neighbor’s property, not even for an hour. The original 1979 aluminum single-pane had failed wind-mitigation, and after pulling the sagging sash we found rotten wood bucks behind the stucco. We sistered new buck framing, set the arched impact unit with its laminated glass interlayer, and resealed the opening before the afternoon thunderstorms rolled in. That’s how you do custom window work on a constrained Kendall lot without making enemies of the people next door.

Access affects your quote, too. If we need a lift for a second-story curved window or a narrow-access delivery plan for a zero-lot-line home, that time and equipment is on the line-item estimate. No surprises later. We also handle the permit paperwork for Kendall, which means knowing when the county wants an NOA number referenced on the permit application and when a design pressure calculation needs to be submitted for an oversized opening. The permit complexity is real, but it shouldn’t be your job to navigate it.

One more thing about impact windows versus shutters, since Kendall homeowners ask us this constantly. Shutters only protect you if someone is home to deploy them, and they do nothing for air infiltration, UV damage, or daily energy loss. A NOA-certified impact window is permanent protection that’s working every hour of every day. No panels to hang, no tracks to corrode, no lost keys when the storm is 12 hours out. For a home you plan to live in, the math favors the window.

Custom & Geometric Windows in Kendall: What Only a Local Crew Knows

Kendall sits squarely in Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that single fact changes everything about custom window work here. Every arched, curved, geometric, or oversized window we install in Kendall must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, a certification standard that’s more rigorous than what neighboring Broward County or the rest of Florida requires. Standard Florida Product Approval is not enough. If a contractor orders a beautiful radius window without the NOA, the rough opening gets red-tagged by the Kendall building inspector and you’re stuck with an expensive mistake and a hole in your wall.

The housing stock makes this even more specific. Kendall is dominated by concrete block structure tract homes built in waves from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, many of which survived Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and were partially rebuilt. Those pre-1992 survivors frequently still have original aluminum sliding windows or jalousie windows that predate the post-Andrew code overhaul. They don’t meet current impact or energy standards, and insurers know it. That’s why so many Kendall homeowners call us after a wind-mitigation report comes back with red flags. The density of these planned communities, places like The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes, also means a single product approval and installation method can be replicated across entire blocks at once. We know which NOA numbers apply to which window configurations in Kendall’s wind zone, and we know the design pressure ratings required for openings on each elevation. That’s not generic window knowledge. That’s Kendall knowledge.
