Call (727) 291-4678

We work throughout the master-planned neighborhoods that define Kendall: The Hammocks, Kendall Lakes, Country Walk, and West Kendall’s sprawling CBS subdivisions. These are homes we know well because we’ve been in them since 2011, replacing builder-grade sliders that were never designed for Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. If you live off Kendall Drive, Sunset Drive, or anywhere between SW 88th Street and SW 152nd Street, we’re your local crew. Not a call center. Not a franchise ticket number.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Company

We’re locally owned and owner-operated. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and runs it the same way today: published address, published license number, and a phone number that rings to a real person at 2 a.m. if that’s when you call. Kendall homeowners have our cell numbers. That’s not a perk; that’s how we work.

Our reputation in Kendall is built on showing up when we say we will and doing the job right the first time. When a Kendall Lakes homeowner calls about a slider that won’t track after a storm, we don’t send a subcontractor we’ve never met. We send a background-checked, uniformed technician who knows exactly what a corroded post-Andrew aluminum frame looks like because he’s replaced a hundred of them in this neighborhood. We carry a Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century of accountability no national chain will ever offer you.

We answer 24/7, we offer free in-home estimates across Kendall, and inside Miami-Dade County there’s no trip charge. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount. $40 off any repair over $200. And if you’ve got a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion. That’s not a promotion. It’s how we’ve always done business.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Services in Kendall

Impact-Rated Sliding Glass Door Installation

Every sliding glass door we install in Kendall carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or we don’t put it in. This is non-negotiable. Kendall sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most restrictive wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. We install PGT, CGI impact-rated sliders with laminated glass interlayers tested for large-missile impact and design pressures that match your home’s specific wind zone. A door that’s legal in Fort Lauderdale without an NOA is a code violation in Kendall, and we won’t sell you one.

Sliding Glass Door Repair

Rollers wear out, tracks get clogged with sand and salt, and frames corrode at the jamb corners. Most Kendall repair calls we see involve sliders from the 1980s and early 1990s that were builder-grade from day one. We replace rollers, realign tracks, rebuild jambs, and install new weatherstripping. If the frame itself is compromised, we’ll tell you straight: repair is a Band-Aid, not a fix. Our repair minimums in Kendall are honest, and repairs over $200 get $40 off. Always.

Miami-Dade NOA Verification & Wind Mitigation Retrofit

Here’s the Kendall-specific reality most companies won’t tell you: Miami-Dade’s NOA approval list is entirely separate from Florida’s statewide product approval database. A window that’s perfectly legal in Fort Lauderdale or Orlando may be a code violation in Kendall without that county-specific NOA stamp. We verify every product against Miami-Dade’s current NOA list before we order it, and we match design pressures to the opening, not a generic rating. When your wind mitigation inspector comes after installation, the paperwork is already in order. We’ve had Kendall homeowners fail inspections with other contractors because the product carried Florida approval but not the Miami-Dade NOA. Don’t let that be you.

Custom and Large Opening Sliders

Two-story Kendall homes with open sightlines to the Atlantic wind track need more than a stock Home Depot slider. We measure, spec, and install multi-panel sliders from PGT that handle HVHZ design pressures without warping. Custom fabrication runs 4-6 weeks from order to install. We install as fast as a single day once your units arrive. For full-service help, our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors team handles everything from permit to final inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We install and service PGT, CGI sliding glass doors, all carrying Miami-Dade NOA certifications for Kendall’s wind zone. Because we stock local parts for Kendall customers, turnaround on repairs is faster than shipping from a national warehouse in Tampa or Jacksonville. When a PGT roller assembly fails in The Hammocks, we don’t order it from Indiana. We pull it from our South Florida inventory and get you rolling the same day. We’re also an authorized installer for CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, and Therma-Tru, but for sliding glass and patio doors specifically, PGT, CGI are the workhorses we recommend for Kendall’s humidity and wind loads.

Common Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Corroded aluminum frames at jamb and sash corners. Kendall’s salt air from Biscayne Bay and the canal system accelerates aluminum oxidation faster than inland Florida. We see frames in Country Walk and Kendall Lakes with visible white powder and pitting within 15-20 years, causing doors to stick and air to leak.
• Failed weatherstripping from humidity and UV exposure. The original builder-grade weatherstripping on 1980s-era Kendall homes degrades into a crumbly mess after decades of year-round humidity. Doors that won’t seal let conditioned air escape, and your AC bill shows it.
• Sliders with Florida Product Approval but no Miami-Dade NOA. Many post-Andrew replacement sliders from the mid-1990s carry only statewide approval. If you pull a permit today in Kendall, that door fails inspection. We’ve replaced dozens of these.
• Non-impact sliders cracking under HVHZ wind pressure. In two-story Kendall homes with open exposure to Atlantic wind tracks, single-pane non-impact sliders flex and crack. Some homeowners find out only when a storm hits and the glass spiderwebs.

Pricing for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Kendall, FL

What Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Kendall

Let’s be specific about what Kendall homeowners actually pay. Standard impact sliders from PGT or CGI start around $800-$1,500 per unit installed for basic 6-foot sizes. Larger 8-foot patio doors run $1,800-$3,500. Custom ViewLux multi-slide doors, the kind you see in newer Kendall homes off SW 117th Avenue, run $4,000-$8,000 per opening depending on panel count and glass package. Floor height matters: a second-story slider in a two-story home needs higher design pressures, which means a heavier frame and laminated glass, adding roughly 15-25% to the cost. Frame material moves the needle too: vinyl keeps cost down but has a shorter salt-air lifespan; aluminum with a marine-grade coating costs more upfront and survives Kendall’s humidity better. We give you a written line-item quote after a free in-home measure, and that quote is the price you pay. No change orders unless you change the scope.

Florida Pays You Back

Kendall homeowners can stack several financial incentives when upgrading to impact-rated sliding glass doors. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact-rated openings. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, so you skip the full sales tax on your project. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), Kendall homeowners typically see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their homeowners insurance. Citizens Insurance and private carriers are pushing hard for impact-rated openings as a condition of renewal, so the upgrade often pays for itself through premium savings alone. Programs change and carriers set final numbers, so nothing here is a guarantee. But the direction is clear: impact-rated sliders are a financial survival move in Kendall, not just a comfort upgrade.

We Also Serve Cities Near Kendall

We work throughout Kendall and the surrounding South Florida communities, including Little Gables, Miami, Miami Beach, and Hialeah. If you’re just outside Kendall proper, we still handle your sliding glass door needs with the same local accountability.
