A Door Installation - Kendall West project for a sliding glass door replacement typically runs $1,800 to $4,600 for a standard 6-foot patio unit, and $5,500 to $12,000 for an impact-rated system that passes Miami-Dade HVHZ inspection.

We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve spent years working the specific headaches that come with sliding doors in Kendall West. Not Miami sliding doors. Not South Florida sliding doors generally.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors team knows what makes the cut here and what gets sent back to the supplier.
We serve homeowners throughout Kendall West and know the streets, the building patterns, and the code quirks. Whether you’re near Kendall Drive, off Southwest 137th Avenue, or tucked into a 1980s concrete-block subdivision north of the Turnpike, we get there fast and we quote it straight.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendall West’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane on a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not marketing. It’s a measurement standard. We train every technician to check reveal, plumb, and square before they call a door finished, because a sliding door that’s off by an eighth of an inch in Kendall West will bind in July and leak in August. That’s the humidity talking.
We carry The Keystone Standard on every job: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. You get a Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing. No fine print that covers neither. We stand behind it, and we’ve been doing it that way for years.
A live person answers when you call (386) 854-7948. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form, not a regional call center. Someone who can actually talk about your door. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they’ll measure every opening twice before ordering anything. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but the crews who show up in Kendall West are local and they know this turf.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Kendall West
Every door we install in Kendall West gets checked against the HVHZ requirement before we order it. Here’s what we handle:
Patio Sliding Doors
The workhorse of any Kendall West home. If your concrete-block house still has an original aluminum patio door from the 1980s or early 1990s, it’s almost certainly out of compliance with current Miami-Dade wind-borne debris rules. Our Custom Windows & Doors - Kendall West team replaces those with fusion-welded frames, stainless steel rollers, and impact-rated glass that carries an NOA sticker. A standard 6-foot patio slider replacement in Kendall West runs $1,800 to $4,600, and we handle everything from measuring to permit to final inspection.

Panoramic Sliding Systems
Multi-panel sliding walls that open a living room to the yard. In Kendall West, these are popular on post-Andrew rebuilds where owners want sightlines to the pool or patio. The systems run $8,000 to $20,000 depending on panel count and size. What matters locally is the bottom track. Everglades humidity and daily convective rain mean a poorly sealed track will corrode and seize within a few years. We specify marine-grade stainless rollers and sill flashing that actually drains, not just overlaps.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
Oversized panels, triple-track assemblies, or doors carrying more glass weight than a standard patio unit. In Kendall West, we see these on homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s where builders installed large openings without enough thought to track load. When the original rollers flatten and the panel drags, it’s a masonry repair and a door replacement in one. Expect $4,000 to $9,000 depending on opening size and frame material. We measure the opening twice before ordering anything, because a mis-ordered heavy-duty door can sit in a warehouse for weeks while your house is open to the weather.

Pocket & Barn Doors
Interior sliding hardware and exterior barn-style doors are a different animal from patio sliders. We install and service pocket door frames in Kendall West homes where the original builder-grade hardware has sagged. For exterior applications, we only install doors that meet HVHZ standards if the opening is on an exterior wall. A barn door on an interior closet is simple; a barn door on an exterior elevation in Kendall West is a code question most people don’t know they need to ask. We quote it correctly the first time.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- Corroded aluminum thresholds and track assemblies. Kendall West sits just east of the Everglades buffer, and trapped interior humidity works on aluminum tracks year-round. We regularly replace thresholds where the fins have corroded through, letting water wick into the concrete-block wall cavity and rot the bottom of the jamb.
- Delaminating impact-glass interlayers on post-Andrew doors. Homes rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew are now 25 to 30 years old, and many of those early impact-rated panels are showing interlayer separation between the glass panes. It looks like fog or a cleaning streak from the outside. It’s actually a failed insulated unit and lost argon fill.
- Compressed weatherstripping on 1990s doors. The daily afternoon convective storms that roll through Kendall West drive rain horizontally. Weatherstripping that has compressed over two decades lets that water push past the jamb and soak the framing. We replace it with compression bulb seals rated for Miami-Dade sill flashing.
- Seized rollers on doors that never get serviced. Sliding door rollers in Kendall West pick up grit and humidity and eventually stop rolling. The panel drags, the track gets grooved, and the homeowner assumes the door is shot. Often it needs rollers and a track clean, not a full replacement. We’ll tell you which one it is.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall West, FL
A standard 6-foot patio sliding door replacement in Kendall West runs $1,800 to $4,600 installed. Impact-rated versions that pass Miami-Dade NOA requirements run $4,200 to $8,000.

Pocket door hardware repairs run $300 to $900, and track replacement on a single patio door typically lands between $500 and $1,200.
What moves the price: the size of the opening, whether the existing jamb can be saved, what glass package you choose, and whether the unit is non-impact, impact-rated, or laminated with low-E. Kendall West inspectors will reject anything without a Miami-Dade NOA sticker, so there’s no cheap shortcut. The free estimate we give you before ordering is the price on the invoice.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Kendall West
Because Miami-Dade County operates under the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-borne debris jurisdiction in the country, and requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance on every exterior door. Broward County suppliers often stock doors with Florida Product Approval only, which does not carry the NOA sticker. Kendall West inspectors check for that sticker at rough inspection, and they will fail the permit on the spot if it’s missing. We verify the NOA before a single frame is ordered, because we’ve seen out-of-area crews lose two weeks and a deposit to that mistake. Call (386) 854-7948 and we’ll confirm your door qualifies before you spend a dollar.
Yes. Kendall West is inside the Miami-Dade HVHZ, which means every exterior glazed opening must meet impact or wind-borne debris protection requirements regardless of distance from the ocean. There is no coastal exemption. A non-impact door installed without the right protection will fail inspection and could void your homeowner’s coverage in a storm claim. We quote the compliant option every time, and we register the manufacturer’s impact warranty in writing before we finish the job. Call (386) 854-7948 for an exact quote.
That condensation means the insulated glass unit has lost its seal and the argon fill is gone. It’s not a cleaning issue. Homes rebuilt in Kendall West after Hurricane Andrew are now 25 to 30 years old, and early impact glass interlayers are failing at the edges. The fix is a replacement insulated unit, not a cleaning service. We see this pattern all over the Kendall corridor, especially near the Everglades buffer where interior humidity runs high. Call (386) 854-7948 and we’ll tell you whether your glass can be reglazed or the whole sash needs replacement.
Daily afternoon storms in Kendall West drive rain horizontally, and the wind direction is consistent, so water hits door thresholds from predictable angles. A threshold with compromised fins or compressed weatherstripping lets that water run straight through the jamb and into the concrete block. We see this in homes all over the western Kendall area. The fix is Miami-Dade-rated sill flashing installed so water drains away from the structure, not just over it. Call (386) 854-7948 and we’ll inspect your threshold and give you a straight answer.
Yes, but it’s a structural change that requires permitting and engineering, especially in concrete-block construction from the 1980s and 1990s. The opening has to be cut, a header installed, and the door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA. Our crew recently replaced a 1998 impact-rated sliding patio door in a Kendall West concrete-block home near the Everglades buffer, where the original threshold fins had corroded from humidity and daily storms, causing water to delaminate the impact-glass interlayer. We specified a fusion-welded frame with stainless steel rollers, new Miami-Dade-rated sill flashing, and low-E insulated glass with argon fill. The homeowner hadn’t realized the original door was no longer compliant. That’s the kind of problem we catch in Kendall West before you spend money on the wrong fix.
