Why Kendall Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name sits on every bid, every permit, and every finished opening. That matters in Kendall, where homeowners have learned through hard experience that the lowest bidder rarely survives the first hurricane season. We’re the local alternative to the national chains that hand you a ticket number instead of a phone number with a real person on the other end.
Homeowners in The Hammocks and Kendall Lakes call us because we show up when we say we will, we pull permits properly, and we don’t leave until the job is done right. Ed’s promise backs every installation: the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job.
You’ll also appreciate that every technician who arrives at your door in Kendall is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s walking up your driveway before they knock.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the foundational protection for Kendall homes. We install laminated impact glass from PGT and CGI, with every configuration carrying Miami-Dade NOA approval, which is mandatory here in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Your windows stay in place, your home stays sealed, and you never wrestle with panels at 2 a.m. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Kendall.
Window Installation
Whether you’re building new or replacing aging openings, we install every window to the design pressure that applies to your specific wall orientation and elevation. Custom sizes, geometric shapes, and standard rectangles all get the same attention to flashing, sealing, and squareness. Learn more about our Window Installation in Kendall.
Window Replacement
Many Kendall homes still carry the fast, budget-driven window replacements installed after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Those units are now decades old, often non-impact-rated, and overdue for removal. We replace them with modern, NOA-approved impact units that meet current HVHZ standards. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Kendall.
Door Installation
Your entry doors are just as vulnerable as your windows. We install impact-rated front doors, side doors, and rear doors from Therma-Tru and other authorized brands, matched to the same Miami-Dade requirements as your glazing. A door that looks great but fails in a storm isn’t a door, it’s a liability.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Kendall homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often feature wide sliding glass doors facing the backyard or pool. Those large openings need serious engineering, and we install impact-rated sliders from PGT and CGI that glide easily while holding up to 175+ mph design wind pressures. You get an unobstructed view and a sealed envelope when it matters.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Kendall’s year-round heat and humidity make cooling costs a constant concern. Our energy-efficient impact windows use low-E coatings and insulated frames that can cut cooling loads by 20-30% while blocking much of the solar gain that makes your AC run nonstop. It’s protection and utility savings in the same unit.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are often the weakest point in a Kendall home’s wind envelope. We install impact-rated garage doors engineered to take the same wind loads as your windows and entry doors, so a pressure breach doesn’t start at the largest opening in your house.
Custom & Geometric Windows
From arched transoms to trapezoids and radius windows, we fabricate and install custom shapes that carry the same NOA certifications as standard rectangles. Kendall has plenty of homes with distinctive window packages, and we treat every opening as a one-off project.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Roof and windows work together as the complete exterior protection system for your Kendall home. We repair and replace shingle, tile, and metal roofs, and we install roof coverings to Miami-Dade HVHZ standards. If your roof is aging alongside your windows, we’ll advise on sequencing both projects for the best wind-mitigation outcome.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Kendall
We work throughout Kendall, from the master-planned subdivisions of The Hammocks and Kendall Lakes to the tree-lined streets around West Kendall and the communities near Kendall Drive. Our crews are familiar with Kendall’s CBS construction, its typical opening sizes, and its subdivision-specific architectural guidelines.

Typical response time for a Kendall estimate visit is within one to two business days, and we schedule around your availability, not the other way around.
Why Kendall’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendall sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which is the most restrictive wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. Statewide Florida code isn’t enough here. Every window and door replacement in Kendall must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA), a product-specific certification that goes beyond Florida’s statewide product approval. A window that’s perfectly legal to install in Fort Lauderdale or Orlando may be a code violation in Kendall without that county-specific NOA stamp. Out-of-market contractors who pull permits here often discover this the hard way, and their customers pay for the delay.
That regulatory reality exists alongside an insurance reality. Florida’s insurance crisis has pushed Citizens Insurance and private carriers to demand impact-rated openings as a condition of coverage renewal. For Kendall homeowners, upgrading windows and doors isn’t just a comfort choice or a storm-readiness choice. It’s frequently a financial survival choice: keep your wind-mitigation credits, keep your coverage, and keep your premiums from becoming unmanageable.
The housing stock here adds another layer. Kendall is dominated by CBS (concrete block structure) ranch-style and two-story single-family homes built across master-planned subdivisions, primarily from the late 1970s through mid-1990s. Hurricane Andrew destroyed or heavily damaged much of this stock, and the fast, budget-driven rebuilds that followed left many homes with aging, non-impact-rated openings that now fall short of current HVHZ standards. Those openings are prime candidates for replacement now, before the next named storm.
Kendall’s climate works against those openings every year, storm or no storm. The intense year-round humidity, combined with salt air moving inland from Biscayne Bay and the bay-adjacent canals, accelerates aluminum frame corrosion and weatherstripping degradation noticeably faster than in central Florida markets. We regularly see frames pitted by salt and seals cracked by UV exposure in Kendall neighborhoods, well before the same components would fail in Orlando.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Kendall
Custom and geometric windows, as you’d expect, cost more per unit than standard rectangles because of fabrication and NOA documentation. Roof work, when bundled with window replacement, gets a full written quote separate from the window contract so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
We don’t pad the bid and we don’t write change orders after the fact. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless you change the scope.
Florida Pays Kendall Homeowners Back
The state and federal incentive picture is worth understanding before you budget a window or door project. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can provide up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, which cuts the upfront cost on qualifying purchases. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit may return up to $600 on qualifying energy-efficient units. And once your home passes a wind-mitigation inspection, windstorm-premium credits can average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. That inspection itself typically costs $75 to $150.
We don’t guarantee those numbers. Program rules, carrier policies, and inspection outcomes all vary. But a Winslow estimate will itemize your project so you can take it straight to your insurer or the My Safe Florida Home program and see what applies. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll walk you through it.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Kendall
Do my new windows in Kendall really need a Miami-Dade NOA?
Yes. Kendall sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and any window or door replacement here must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. Statewide Florida approval isn’t sufficient. We’ll confirm the NOA for every unit we install in Kendall and include that documentation with your permit package. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll explain exactly what your specific openings require.
How much does impact window replacement cost in Kendall?
You’ll pay between $850 and $1,400 per opening for most standard impact windows in Kendall, with the final number driven by size, design pressure, and the brand you choose. Sliding glass doors and custom shapes run higher. For a written, itemized quote on your Kendall home, call (727) 291-4678. Estimates are free.
Can I put off my Kendall window replacement until after hurricane season?
You can, but you’re gambling. The HVHZ doesn’t wait, and neither does Kendall’s salt air, which is slowly degrading frames and seals year-round. Every month of delay is another month of exposure. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll give you a clear picture of what’s urgent and what can wait.
Will the price change once the work starts?
No. We quote fixed pricing on every Kendall project, and we don’t write change orders unless you change the scope. Rotting wood, unexpected framing damage, or hidden issues get addressed at cost with your written approval before any additional work begins. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll put that in writing.
Do you pull permits for window and door work in Kendall?
We do. Every Kendall installation requiring a permit gets one, and we handle the documentation with Miami-Dade County. We don’t ask you to pull your own permits, and we don’t suggest skipping the permit process. That’s how corners get cut, and we don’t cut them. Call (727) 291-4678 for a straight answer on your project.

What Kendall Customers Say
"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"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
- Rosalind Beaumont"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."
