Impact Windows in Kendall - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Kendall

Impact window replacement in Kendall typically runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with whole-home packages on the area’s sprawling 1970s and 80s CBS ranch homes landing between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on opening count and floor height. Most Kendall homeowners call us not because a storm is coming, but because Citizens Insurance sent a non-renewal letter over failed wind mitigation inspections. That’s the reality of this market, and we’ve been navigating it since Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011. Call (904) 478-8983 and a live person answers, 24/7.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Impact Windows Company

Kendall isn’t a side market for us. Our crews work the subdivisions between Kendall Drive and SW 152nd Street weekly, and we know what’s behind those stucco walls: original aluminum jalousie windows, single-pane sliders, and concrete block openings that were framed before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the rulebook. Homeowners in Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, and West Kendall call us because they want a company that already understands their house before the first measurement gets taken.

Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. When a Kendall homeowner schedules a walkthrough, they get a background-checked, uniformed technician who shows up on time and answers questions in plain English. We don’t hand out ticket numbers. We hand out Ed’s cell number. That’s why Kendall neighbors refer us to the house two doors down, and why our Impact Windows team carries a reputation built on showing up and doing the job right the first time.

Every crew member carries the Done Right Promise with them: if it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right. Period. That promise means something specific in Kendall, where a poorly seated impact window can fail a wind mitigation re-inspection and leave a homeowner staring down the barrel of another insurance headache.

Our Impact Windows Services in Kendall

Impact Ratings & NOA Documentation for Insurance

Kendall sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest window jurisdiction in the United States. Every replacement unit we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, which is the only product certification your insurer will accept on a wind mitigation report. We don’t just install the window. We generate the documentation your agent needs to process the premium credit, including NOA numbers tied to each opening’s design pressure rating.

Custom Acrylic & Polycarbonate Fabrication for Outbuildings

Kendall’s acreage properties often include detached workshops, pool cabanas, and ADUs that never got impact protection when the main house was retrofitted. Those outbuildings still need HVHZ-compliant openings if they’re attached to a permit or included in a wind mitigation inspection. We fabricate custom acrylic and polycarbonate impact panels sized to odd openings, keeping the whole property code-compliant without tearing out original framing.

Structural Opening Reinforcement (Jamb & Sash Upgrade)

Original aluminum frames from the 1970s and 80s don’t have the structural integrity to hold modern impact-rated laminated glass under design pressure. We replace jambs, sashes, and buck assemblies where needed, anchoring new units directly into the concrete block. This is the step that separates a genuine HVHZ retrofit from a glass swap, and it’s the step most national chains skip to keep their quote lower.

Impact-Grade Window Installation & Replacement

We install and replace impact windows across every Kendall neighborhood, from the original tracts off SW 117th Avenue to the newer builds east of Florida’s Turnpike. We stock parts locally for fast turnaround and handle the county-level permitting that Kendall’s acreage properties require when setbacks or well lines trigger additional plan review.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and six other premium brands, and we regularly install CWS and ES Windows units on Kendall homes. Our relationship with E CO Window Systems and Mr-Glass means we can match the exact NOA configuration a homeowner’s wind mitigation report calls for. When a Kendall homeowner needs a specific design pressure rating, we don’t substitute something close. We order the right unit from the brand that engineers it.

Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Jalousie glass failures: Original jalousie windows shatter under design pressure, sending glass shards into living spaces during storms that wouldn’t faze a modern impact unit. We remove and replace them with Miami-Dade NOA-approved sliders or fixed units that actually meet the wind zone’s requirements.
• Aluminum frame oxidation: South Florida’s UV index and daily humidity cycles eat aluminum frames faster than anywhere else in the state. Kendall homeowners see the telltale white powder at the corners, which means the weatherseal is gone and the unit is leaking air even when it looks intact.
• Single-pane sliders flexing in CBS openings: The original slab openings in Kendall’s tract homes were framed for lightweight aluminum sliders. When wind pressure hits, those old units flex and let wind-driven rain into the wall cavity, which quietly rots stucco and sheathing behind the window.
• Failed wind mitigation inspections: This is the one that starts most of our Kendall conversations. A Citizens Insurance non-renewal notice cites non-impact windows on the wind mitigation report, and suddenly the homeowner needs documentation, not just new glass. We handle the entire fix, including the re-inspection paperwork.

Pricing for Impact Windows in Kendall, FL

What Impact Windows Costs in Kendall

Kendall’s pricing sits slightly below Miami Beach but above Homestead, driven by the sheer volume of original CBS openings that need full jamb reinforcement. The big cost movers here: wind zone design pressures (which are high across all of Kendall), floor height (second-story units need taller panels and stronger anchoring), and frame material (aluminum is standard, but thermally broken frames add 15 to 20 percent). Opening count drives the whole-home number. A 3-bedroom ranch with 9 openings is a different job than a 6-bedroom two-story with 22 openings and a custom front door to match.

The honest path to an exact number is a free in-home measure. We scope the rough openings, check the concrete block condition, and give you a written quote that won’t change once work starts. No change orders. No surprises on the invoice.

Florida Pays You Back

Kendall homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that offset the cost of impact windows. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of the 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 percent on the windstorm portion of their bill. Final numbers come from your carrier and the program, not from us, but we’ll point you to every program that applies to your property.

One comparison worth making: impact windows beat hurricane shutters in Kendall because they’re permanent. No panels to haul out of the garage at 2 a.m., no tracks to maintain, no forgetting to install them before the storm bands arrive. They also carry NOA documentation that shutters often lack, which matters when the insurance adjuster calls.
