AfterWindows & Doors Services in Kendall, FL
If you live in Kendall, your windows and doors are doing more work than almost anywhere else in the country.

We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been installing impact-rated windows, doors, and roofing systems for Kendall homeowners since our founding in 2011. When you call (727) 620-6983, a live person answers, and we’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician to your door, usually within the same day.

Why Kendall Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Kendall isn’t a place where you can afford to gamble on a contractor who doesn’t understand HVHZ code. We hear stories constantly from homeowners in The Crossings and Kendall West about quotes from out-of-county installers who didn’t know Miami-Dade has its own product approval system. That’s not a mistake you want to discover after the county inspector shows up. Our owner, Ed Winslow, has built this company on the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century of accountability backing every window, door, and roof we install.
People in Kendall call us because we answer. Not a call center. Not a voicemail tree that promises a callback within two business days. You get a live person at (727) 620-6983, any hour, any day. We serve homes throughout Kendall Lakes and Winston Park, and our technicians arrive in uniform with identification you can verify before they step inside. Our published address and license number are right there for anyone to check. No shell companies, no subcontractor roulette.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall
We don’t do a little bit of everything. We do exterior protection for Florida homes, and we do it thoroughly. Here’s the full list of what we install and service in Kendall:
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship of what we do in Kendall, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval is the difference between a window that breaks and a window that holds when the next Andrew-strength storm makes landfall. We match design pressures to each opening, never above +/-100, and every configuration carries the documentation Kendall inspectors expect to see.

Window Installation
New construction, full tear-outs, or retrofit installations into existing concrete block openings: we anchor every unit to Miami-Dade substrate-specific specs. Kendall’s CBS construction means you need a crew that knows how to fasten into block, not just wood framing.

Window Replacement
If your Kendall home still has original aluminum single-panes from the 1970s or 1980s, replacement isn’t a cosmetic upgrade, it’s a structural necessity. Those frames are decades past service life and cannot meet current HVHZ wind-pressure requirements, no matter how many seal repairs you apply.

Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and side lites all need the same impact rating as your windows once you’re in Kendall’s wind zone. We install doors from Therma-Tru and other authorized brands, anchored to hold, not just to look good.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Kendall homes love their patio access, and sliding glass doors are often the largest single opening in the house. That makes them the most vulnerable point in a storm. Our sliding door systems carry impact ratings that match the rest of your opening protection plan.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Kendall’s air conditioning runs hard, and upgrading to energy-efficient windows typically cuts cooling costs by 20 to 30 percent. Low-E coatings and insulated frames reduce heat gain without compromising impact performance. You get both ratings in one unit.
Impact Garage Doors
Most people forget the garage door, and it’s one of the biggest failures in hurricane wind-load engineering. A reinforced impact garage door keeps pressure from entering the home and blowing your roof off from the inside. We handle that, too.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arched tops, circles, trapezoids, and eyebrow windows: Kendall has plenty of homes with distinctive openings that need custom-fabricated impact glass. We order every custom unit to the exact opening dimensions and NOA-approved configuration, which means fabrication takes 4 to 6 weeks before installation.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors are only as good as the roof that ties the whole building envelope together. We repair shingle, tile, and metal roofs across Kendall, and we know what Miami-Dade inspection requires before, during, and after the job.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full re-roofs with HVHZ-compliant anchoring and underlayment. If your Kendall home is getting new impact windows and doors, a roof assessment should happen in the same conversation, because the entire envelope works as one system.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We install all three roofing types common in Kendall, chosen for the right balance of wind resistance, weight load, and longevity. Tile is popular in Kendall’s subdivisions, and we anchor it to withstand what Miami-Dade wind loads demand.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Kendall
Our crews work throughout Kendall, from the subdivisions west of the Turnpike to the older tracts east of Dadeland. Typical response time for estimates anywhere in the Kendall area is same-day or next-day, depending on how many calls are already on the schedule.
- The Crossings - large lots, big patio doors, and homes built right in the Andrew-impact zone.
- Kendall West - dense suburban blocks where window replacement is the most common job we quote.
- Kendall Lakes - a mix of original 1970s homes and post-Andrew rebuilds, so every project starts with an inspection.
- Winston Park - established subdivisions with mature trees and older sliding glass that needs full-system replacement.
- Dadeland - higher-density residential with condos and townhomes that need multi-unit window coordination.
Why Kendall’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendall has a split housing stock, and it matters more than most homeowners realize. The subdivisions that went up during Miami-Dade’s westward boom in the 1970s through the 1990s were built with aluminum single-pane windows and jalousie sliders. Then Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992 and changed everything. Homes rebuilt after Andrew are already code-compliant. The survivors, the ones that held their original windows, are now holding units that cannot possibly meet today’s HVHZ impact and wind-pressure standards. If your Kendall home still has those original windows, you’re not looking at a repair. You’re looking at a full-system replacement.
The second factor is environmental. Kendall’s inland position, roughly 12 miles from Biscayne Bay, doesn’t reduce your wind-load requirements one bit. Category 4 and 5 design standards apply here, full stop. Add in year-round UV intensity and humidity, and you get aluminum frames and silicone seals that degrade in 7 to 10 years, not the 15 to 20 you’d see in a drier climate. That means a window installed a decade ago may already be approaching replacement territory, even if it looks fine from the street.
The third factor is paperwork, and this is where Kendall trips up a lot of contractors. Because Kendall is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, permits come through the county’s Building Department, not a city office. Inspectors verify the NOA approval number, edition date, and installation anchor pattern on-site. That’s a dual documentation step that routinely catches out-of-county contractors who only know the simpler Florida Product Approval sticker system used in Broward. If your installer doesn’t know the difference, you’ll find out when the inspection fails.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Kendall
We believe in quoting you a price and sticking to it, so here’s what you can expect for typical job scopes in Kendall:
| Project Type | Typical Kendall Range |
|---|---|
| Full-home impact window replacement (8-12 openings) | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Single impact window (standard size) | $800 - $1,800 |
| Impact entry door (Therma-Tru or equivalent) | $2,500 - $5,500 |
| Impact sliding glass door (6-8 ft) | $3,000 - $7,000 |
| Impact garage door | $3,500 - $8,000 |
| Custom or geometric impact window | $1,500 - $4,500 per unit |
These are honest ranges, not bait numbers. A full quote depends on opening sizes, design pressures, frame materials, and what the county requires for your specific substrate. We offer free estimates, written line-item quotes, and no trip charge inside our home county. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll walk you through it.
Florida Pays Kendall Homeowners Back
Here’s the part most Kendall homeowners don’t realize: a significant portion of your window and door upgrade can come back to you through Florida’s incentive stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows and doors are squarely in scope. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is real money on a $20,000 project. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units, and you can claim it alongside the state incentives.
Then there’s insurance. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which costs roughly $75 to $150 in Kendall, most homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25 percent off the windstorm portion of their policy. Your carrier sets the final number, and we don’t guarantee what any insurer will do, but in our experience, the math works out strongly in the homeowner’s favor. For a Kendall home with original pre-Andrew windows, the upgrade pays for itself faster than most people expect.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Actually Makes Sense in Kendall
Shutters are cheaper up front. We’ll say that plainly. But you have to hang them when a storm approaches, you have to store them somewhere the other 360 days a year, and if you’re not home when the watch is issued, they’re not going to be installed at all. Impact windows are permanent. There’s nothing to deploy, nothing to remember, and they’re protecting your home at 3 a.m. when a storm intensifies overnight. For Kendall homeowners who travel, work long hours, or own rental property, impact windows are the only option that guarantees protection whether you’re there or not.
And the big-box retail comparison? We’ve taken calls from homeowners who bought windows through a national chain and then discovered the installer didn’t know how to anchor into CBS block. Or didn’t pull the right county permit. Or vanished when the inspection flagged the NOA documentation. We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, among others, and we’ve been doing this in Miami-Dade for over 15 years. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall
You need Miami-Dade NOA approval. Kendall falls under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires every replacement window and door to carry an active Notice of Acceptance from Miami-Dade County, not just the Florida Product Approval sticker used elsewhere in the state. County inspectors verify the NOA number, edition date, and anchor pattern on-site, and if the paperwork doesn’t match, the inspection fails. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll make sure your project is spec’d correctly from day one.
A full-home replacement for a typical Kendall rancher with 8 to 12 openings runs between $9,000 and $28,000, depending on window sizes, design pressures, and frame materials. Custom or geometric units push the per-piece price to $1,500 and up. The exact number depends on your house, and the best way to get it is a free estimate at (727) 620-6983.
No. We quote a fixed price before we begin, and unless you change the scope, the invoice matches the estimate. That’s what upfront pricing means at Winslow. If you have a written estimate from another company in Kendall, bring it to us for a free second opinion, and we’ll show you exactly where the money goes.
Yes, we handle all permitting through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department, which is the correct office for unincorporated Kendall. We also schedule and stand for the inspections, and we make sure the NOA documentation is ready before the inspector arrives. You never have to chase paperwork with us.
For standard-size impact windows and doors, installation moves as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication takes 4 to 6 weeks before that, because every unit is built to your exact opening dimensions and NOA-approved configuration. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job, and we don’t pad it with surprises.

What Kendall Customers Say
"We sat out a hurricane behind the windows Ed put in. The gusts threw a neighbour's trampoline down the street and the loudest thing in our house was the kettle. I rang him after to say thank you and he answered his own phone, same as always."
- Thaddeus Okonkwo"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."
