AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Kendale Lakes
Window installation in Kendale Lakes comes with one hard rule: this is Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so virtually every replacement must be a Miami-Dade NOA-certified impact-rated window or door. No budget single-pane option exists here. TruePane Windows & Doors handles that reality every day. We install impact-rated casement, fixed, sliding, and hung windows throughout Kendale Lakes, and we measure every opening twice before we order a single unit. Call (386) 854-7948 and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We know Kendale Lakes the way a tradesperson should know a neighborhood: by its houses, not its map. Most of the homes here went up in the 1970s and early 1980s as concrete block construction with original aluminum single-pane windows. Those units are now 40 to 50 years old, and the lake-and-canal lots many of them sit on accelerate corrosion in ways you will not see in Doral or Kendall West. Our crews have pulled enough corroded sliding glass door frames out of canal-adjacent homes off SW 94th Street and around the lakes to know what is behind them before we start.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after years of watching competitors set windows out of true and walk away from voided warranties. That is why every TruePane job carries The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. We also back every install with the Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and we fix it. No paperwork fights.
We are not the cheapest bid in Kendale Lakes. We are the last call you should have to make. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail tree. And we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you are buying before you commit.
Our Window Installation Services in Kendale Lakes
The original windows in most Kendale Lakes homes are aluminum single-pane sliders and fixed units. They are non-compliant with current HVHZ code and past the end of their service life. Here are the replacements we install most often across the community.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are the most common unit in Kendale Lakes tract homes, and the original aluminum ones from the 1970s are the most common failure point. The frames corrode, the tracks bind, and the single-pane glass does nothing against wind-borne debris. We install Miami-Dade NOA-certified impact sliders with low-E glass and argon fill, sized to the existing rough opening so we avoid unnecessary stucco work.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed windows frame the lake views that give Kendale Lakes its name, but a fixed pane is only as good as the seal around it. Original fixed units in CBS walls have often lost their thermal seal and are leaking conditioned air year-round. We install impact-rated fixed and picture windows that hold the view, meet HVHZ code, and stop the air leakage you have probably been blaming on your HVAC system.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are a smart upgrade for the bedroom windows and smaller openings in a typical Kendale Lakes ranch. Because the sash presses against the frame with a positive seal when closed, casements perform well against wind-driven rain and give you full ventilation when open. In a community sitting right next to the Everglades, that matters more than most homeowners realize until hurricane season starts.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them a good fit for bathrooms, kitchens, and any opening where you want ventilation during a passing storm without letting rain pour inside. We install them most often in Kendale Lakes homes where the original jalousie windows in screened lanais are finally being retired. You get a cleaner, code-compliant, impact-rated unit that actually seals.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines. For Kendale Lakes homes, we quote Simonton, PGT, and Jeld-Wen most often, because all three produce Miami-Dade NOA-certified impact product lines that hold up to the standing moisture and UV exposure this community gets year-round. We do not push one brand. We put two or three side by side on paper with windows and doors priced separately, and you choose. Both warranty layers get registered before we leave.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Non-compliant original aluminum single-panes. The windows installed when Kendale Lakes was built in the 1970s do not meet Miami-Dade HVHZ impact standards. You cannot do a simple sash swap here. A permitted replacement means a full impact-glass upgrade, and we will tell you that before you spend money on anything else.
- Corroded sliding glass door frames on canal-adjacent lots. Homes along the lakes and canals have aluminum door frames that have been weeping moisture into the surrounding CBS wall for decades. Pulling the old unit often exposes spalled block and wet framing that must be patched before the new impact door can be set. Bids for similar homes in Doral rarely include that scope.
- Failed insulated glass units mistaken for HVAC problems. Homeowners call us after months of high electric bills and an HVAC tech who found nothing wrong. The real culprit is usually failed IGUs in original windows, where the argon fill has leaked out and the thermal seal is gone.
- Jalousie windows in screened lanais that cannot be insulated. Those old jalousie units let air and insects through all year. We retire them and install impact-rated fixed or awning windows that seal the lanai without making it feel closed off.

FAQs - Window Installation in Kendale Lakes
You need impact-rated windows. Kendale Lakes sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and code requires Miami-Dade NOA-certified impact-resistant windows and doors for any permitted replacement. There is no legal budget single-pane path here, and any contractor who tells you otherwise is asking you to break county code. We only install HVHZ-compliant impact product, and we pull permits on every job. Call (386) 854-7948 and we’ll explain exactly what your house requires.
You will see fogging or haze between the glass panes that you cannot wipe off from either side, and you may feel drafts or notice higher electric bills with no change in your HVAC system. Original aluminum single-pane windows from the 1970s are past rated service life and most have lost whatever minimal thermal performance they had. Call us for an assessment. We will tell you what is salvageable and what is not, without pushing a full replacement if you do not need one.
No, when the work is permitted and installed by a licensed contractor. Many Kendale Lakes homes are in HOAs or deed-restricted communities, and some have architectural review rules that require you to submit window changes before work begins. We can help you understand what your community asks for, and we never begin work until permits are pulled and any required neighbor notification is done. Call (386) 854-7948 if you want us to walk your specific HOA’s requirements with you.
Because the original aluminum sliding glass door frames on lake-facing and canal-adjacent homes have been corroding and weeping moisture into the surrounding CBS wall cavity for decades. When we pull the old unit, we routinely find spalled block and wet framing that must be patched before the new impact door can be set. It is real remediation scope, not a change order trick. We include it in the written quote upfront so there are no surprises on the bill. Call (386) 854-7948 for an exact estimate.
The most common first upgrade is replacing the original sliding glass door on the back of the house that opens to the lanai or lake view. Those doors fail first because of the standing moisture and because they get used daily. After that, homeowners typically replace the front-facing fixed or picture windows, then the bedrooms and bathrooms in phases. We can phase the work out over multiple years while keeping every opening covered by the same written warranty. Call (386) 854-7948 and we’ll put a plan together.
