Why Kendall Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Kendall is one of those places where word travels fast. When a neighbor on 104th Street gets their jalousie windows torn out and replaced with real impact glass, the folks over in Country Walk hear about it. And what they hear is that Winslow shows up when we say we will, gives you a written line-item quote before any work starts, and never hides a change order in the fine print. We’ve replaced windows and doors in neighborhoods like Kendale Lakes, West Kendall, The Hammocks, and Killian Pines, and the reviews across Kendall tell the same story: fair pricing, clean job sites, and installers who actually respect your home.
Ed Winslow owns this company. It’s not a franchise. It’s not a national chain with a rotating cast of subcontractors. It’s a locally owned outfit with a published address and license number, a 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and a real person answering the phone at all hours. Every technician who pulls up to your Kendall home is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck even stops.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall
Impact Windows
This is our flagship line for Kendall, and for good reason. Every impact window we install meets Miami-Dade NOA standards, with laminated glass and design pressures matched to the exact opening in your home, never rated above +/-100 PSF. That means the window is engineered for your specific wall, not a generic number off a warehouse shelf.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in Kendall.
Window Installation
When your Kendall home needs windows swapped out, the install method matters as much as the product. On slab-on-grade CBS homes from the 70s and 80s, that often means full frame-out work rather than a simple insert, because the old aluminum frames are too degraded to reuse.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Kendall.
Window Replacement
If you’ve got crank-style jalousie windows or single-pane sliders, replacement isn’t a cosmetic upgrade, it’s the only legal path to HVHZ compliance and Citizens wind-mitigation credits. We handle the masonry infill and re-stucco that jalousie teardowns require, a step newer suburbs rarely see but Kendall homes demand.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in Kendall.
Door Installation
An entry door in Kendall takes a beating from humidity, rain, and salt air. We install impact-rated doors from Therma-Tru and other authorized brands, with thresholds sealed to keep standing water out of your slab-on-grade entry.
Learn more about our door installation work across Kendall when you call (863) 251-5864.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Kendall’s flat, low-lying terrain means your patio slider catches every afternoon downpour. We install impact-rated sliding doors that drain properly, close tight, and meet HVHZ design pressure requirements for your specific opening.
Learn more about our sliding glass and patio door options for Kendall homes.
Energy-Efficient Windows
The right glass package can cut cooling costs by 20 to 30 percent in a Kendall home, which matters when your AC runs eight months a year. We install energy-efficient impact units from PGT and ViewLux that do double duty: storm protection and real thermal performance.
Learn more about energy-efficient window packages built for South Florida’s climate.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in your home, and in a hurricane, it’s often the first point of failure. We install impact-rated garage doors that brace the opening and keep your roof envelope intact when the wind really starts moving through Kendall.
Learn more about impact garage door installation for Kendall’s wind zone.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some Kendall homes have arched openings, half-rounds, or unusual geometric shapes that big-box installers won’t touch. We work with brands like Mr-Glass to fabricate custom impact windows that fit your existing openings without butchering the wall.
Learn more about custom and geometric window fabrication for Kendall homes.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors are only part of your envelope. If your Kendall roof is leaking around a skylight or along a ridge, we repair it now so your new windows don’t end up under a failing roof.
Learn more about roof repair for Kendall homes.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When your roof has reached the end of its life, we replace it with shingle, tile, or metal systems matched to Kendall’s wind-load requirements. A new roof paired with impact windows is how you actually earn those wind-mitigation credits.
Learn more about roof replacement for Kendall homes.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Every roof type has a place in Kendall. Tile suits the original CBS tract home aesthetic, metal handles the wind, and shingle keeps the budget manageable. We install all three, and we pull permits and pass inspections on every one.

Why Kendall’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendall sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. Every replacement window and door installed here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product approval standard that goes far beyond the rest of Florida’s building code. The reason this matters to your home is simple: Kendall was built out primarily between the late 1960s and early 1990s as concrete block and stucco tract housing, and a huge portion of those homes predate the post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul. That means thousands of original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousie units are still in service here, units that are flatly non-compliant with current HVHZ standards. If you’re a Kendall homeowner chasing Citizens Insurance wind-mitigation credits, full replacement is not a recommendation. It’s the only permitted path.
Then there’s the water. Kendall is flat and low-lying, and the June through October afternoon downpours leave standing water on pavers and lawns for hours. On slab-on-grade homes, that water creeps under aging door thresholds and into the house. Humidity and salt-laden air pushing in from Biscayne Bay accelerate oxidation on untreated aluminum frames, which is why we see so many pre-2000 windows in Kendall with corroded tracks and seized mechanisms. New installations here need sealed thresholds, proper drainage, and corrosion-resistant finishes, not just a prettier frame.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall
Impact window replacement in Kendall typically runs $1,200 to $2,800 per opening for a retrofit, and $1,800 to $3,500 per opening when jalousie teardown and masonry work are required. The exact number depends on your home’s construction, the opening size, and the product you choose. Call (863) 251-5864 for a free line-item estimate.
Yes. Kendall falls within Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ, so every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval specific to the configuration. We only install products that meet this standard, and we provide the approval documentation for your permit and insurance inspection.
No. Jalousie windows, the louvered glass-crank style common in pre-1980s Kendall homes, cannot be retrofitted to meet HVHZ impact requirements under any Miami-Dade NOA. The rough opening must be rebuilt from scratch, which includes masonry infill and re-stucco work. That line item catches many homeowners off guard, but skipping it is not an option if you want a legal, permitted installation.
Many Kendall homeowners see a windstorm premium reduction, often around 25 percent on the windstorm portion, after completing a wind-mitigation inspection. The inspection costs $75 to $150, and the final credit amount is set by your carrier. Impact-rated windows and doors are the single biggest factor in that calculation.
We pull permits on every job that requires one, and we pass inspections before we call the work done. Unpermitted window replacements are a common problem in Kendall, and they become a serious liability when you sell the home or file an insurance claim. This is not an area where we cut corners.
Florida Pays Kendall Homeowners Back
Impact windows and doors in Kendall come with a rare upside: state and federal programs that put real money back in your pocket. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6 to 7 percent on the entire purchase. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of the product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many Kendall homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25 percent. The exact numbers depend on your carrier and your home’s inspection results, but the stack of incentives is real and worth claiming.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Kendall Homeowners Should Know
Shutters are cheaper up front, and that’s the last nice thing we’ll say about them. Impact windows are permanent. You don’t haul them out of the garage in August, you don’t fight with rusted tracks at 2 a.m. while a storm bears down on Kendall, and you don’t leave your home unprotected when you’re out of town during a hurricane warning. Impact windows also earn wind-mitigation credits the same way shutters do, but they don’t darken your house for days after the storm passes. For most Kendall homeowners, the math favors impact glass, especially when you factor in the sales tax exemption and My Safe Florida Home grant. One thing to be clear on: we don’t sell or install shutters. We install impact windows and doors, and we make the comparison so you know what you’re choosing.

What Kendall Customers Say
"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 old aluminium sliders howled every afternoon storm and swelter came straight through the glass. The new impact sliders shut with a sound like a bank vault and the back rooms finally hold their temperature."
- Percival Whitcombe"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
