Impact Windows & Doors in Kendall, FL
Licensed, Miami-Dade NOA-approved impact window and door installation across Kendall — from the older neighborhoods near Dadeland to the townhome communities of West Kendall. Most of this suburb was built before impact glass existed; we bring it up to the code Miami-Dade wrote afterward, and we handle the county permits.
Kendall Remembers Why the Code Exists
When Hurricane Andrew tore through south Miami-Dade in 1992, Kendall took heavy damage — and the building code that came out of that storm is the one every impact product is tested against today. But most of Kendall was built in the decades before: block after block of 1970s and 1980s single-family homes and townhomes, a great many still on their original aluminum-frame windows.
Those openings are the gap. All of Miami-Dade is a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every product we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, permitted and inspected through the county. The upgrade pays beyond storm day: windstorm premium credits, a quieter home under the flight paths and the Palmetto, and cooling bills that finally stop climbing.
What We Install in Kendall
Impact Windows
Miami-Dade NOA impact windows replacing the aging aluminum-frame glass that most of Kendall’s 1970s-to-1990s homes still carry.
Impact Doors
Entry, French, sliding, and patio doors built to Miami-Dade HVHZ standards.
Impact Garage Doors
Hurricane-rated garage doors — the largest opening on the house, and a common weak point on Kendall’s single-family blocks.
East Kendall, West Kendall, Different Projects
East Kendall
The older side, near Dadeland and US-1 — ranches and split-levels from the 1960s and 1970s, many still on original single-pane aluminum windows or jalousies. These are full first-time retrofits: the biggest jump in storm protection, insurance position, and energy savings a home here can make, and the strongest My Safe Florida Home grant candidates in the area.
West Kendall
The planned communities — Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, Kendall West — built through the 1980s and 1990s with HOAs and a heavy mix of townhomes. The work here is aging builder-grade glass, impact doors, and non-impact garage doors, coordinated with your HOA's architectural approval alongside the county permit.
County Permits, NOAs & Inspections — Handled
Here's a Kendall quirk: there is no Kendall city hall. The area is unincorporated, so window and door permits run through Miami-Dade County's building department rather than a municipal building division. The steps are the same — permit, NOA documentation, inspections — but the process and portal are the county's. We run it start to finish, so the difference never lands on you.
Most of Kendall Can Pursue Grant Money
If your home's building permit was issued before January 1, 2008 — true for the vast majority of Kendall — you may qualify for the My Safe Florida Home program: a free wind mitigation inspection and a matching grant toward impact windows and doors. We'll help you understand whether you're eligible and how it works.

Kendall Impact Window & Door FAQ
Who issues the permit for window and door replacement in Kendall?
Miami-Dade County. Kendall is unincorporated, so instead of a city hall, permits run through the county’s building department — with Miami-Dade NOA product approvals on file and inspections at the right stages. We pull the permit and handle the county process for you.
My house made it through Andrew. Doesn’t that mean my windows are fine?
Unfortunately not. Surviving one storm isn’t a rating, and windows from before 1992 — or repairs done right after — predate every modern impact standard. Kendall took heavy damage in Andrew precisely because that era of glass offers so little protection. Three decades on, those same windows are older and weaker.
I live in a townhome community with an HOA. How does that work?
Common in Kendall — communities like The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes usually require HOA architectural approval for exterior changes in addition to the county permit. Florida law doesn’t let an HOA prohibit impact windows, but they can set style and color guidelines. We coordinate both approvals.
Can I get grant money toward impact windows in Kendall?
Very possibly. The My Safe Florida Home program applies to homes with a building permit issued before January 1, 2008 — which fits most of Kendall’s housing stock. Qualifying homeowners get a free wind mitigation inspection and matching grant money toward impact windows and doors. We’ll walk you through eligibility.
