We serve Kendall from our Miami office, with crews running the Palmetto Expressway and Kendall Drive corridors daily. Whether you’re in a 1970s CBS ranch near Killian Drive or a two-story tract home off the Snapper Creek basin, we know the permitting path because we’ve walked it. Kendall sits in Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every sliding glass door swap requires a contractor-pulled permit and a product with a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That is not bureaucracy for its own sake. It is the rule that governs whether your install passes inspection.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Kendall

Patio Doors

Kendall’s 1970s-1990s concrete block homes were built with aluminum-frame jalousie and single-pane sliders that were never hurricane-rated. Those original units are now insurance liabilities even when they still roll on their tracks. We specify patio doors by what the opening requires: U-factor and SHGC ratings for cooling-load reduction, impact-rated laminated glass for HVHZ compliance, and frame depth matched to the existing CBS wall section. A typical patio door installation in Kendall runs $2,800-$4,200 for a standard 6-foot opening, depending on whether the original frame can accept a modern unit or the jamb needs reframing.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Every impact sliding glass door we install in Kendall carries a current Miami-Dade NOA, not merely Florida Product Approval. The distinction matters here in ways it does not in Orlando or Tampa. Miami-Dade County inspectors check the NOA label on the installed unit against the approved product list; a mismatch fails inspection every time. We stock impact-rated units from PGT and CGI with NOA listings verified before we quote. An impact sliding glass door in Kendall typically costs $3,400-$5,800 installed, with multi-panel configurations running higher. The laminated glass interlayer and reinforced frame add weight, so we verify the header capacity during our measured survey.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

This is where Kendall’s post-Andrew replacement wave creates a specific problem. Hurricane Andrew made a near-direct hit on Kendall in August 1992, and a massive share of local housing stock had its windows and doors replaced in the mid-to-late 1990s. That first generation of post-Andrew impact-rated sliders is now 25-30 years old. The frames are failing. The sealants have degraded in subtropical humidity. And critically, many original NOA listings have expired or been superseded. A homeowner who replaced a slider after Andrew often cannot legally replace it with a like-for-like unit today. The current NOA must correspond to the exact make, model, and size being installed. We find this on roughly one in three Kendall replacement surveys. The price reflects what we find: $3,200-$6,500, with reframing and header reinforcement at the higher end.

Impact French Patio Doors

Impact French patio doors in Kendall serve homeowners who want the swing-door operation and divided-light aesthetic with full HVHZ compliance. These units run $4,200-$6,500 installed, depending on panel width, hardware selection, and whether the opening requires a new header. We specify Therma-Tru and ViewLux lines with Miami-Dade NOA certification, and we verify the rough opening against the manufacturer’s installation manual before we write the quote. The measured survey you keep shows every dimension.

Screen Door Installation

Screen doors for Kendall’s patio and sliding door openings must integrate with the primary door’s frame depth and track system. We measure on site and specify from manufacturer-matched screen lines to ensure the roll and latch operate without binding. Typical screen door installation runs $380-$720.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We draw from eight verified manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - and we specify by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. In Kendall, that specification starts with the Miami-Dade NOA database. We verify the listing before we quote. For sliding and patio door work, we most often deploy PGT WinGuard impact sliders and CGI Estate Collection French doors, with Therma-Tru and ViewLux specified where the opening and the customer’s performance tier call for them. We do not substitute at install. The unit on the truck matches the NOA number on the approved list.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Post-Andrew aluminum sliders reaching end of service life. The 1990s-vintage impact sliders installed after Hurricane Andrew are now 25-30 years old. Their frame sealants have hardened, the sill pans have corroded, and the original NOA listings have often expired. We find this on homes throughout the Killian Drive and Kendall Drive corridors.
• NOA mismatch at inspection. A sliding glass door that carried a valid Miami-Dade NOA in 1997 may no longer be listed. Installing a Florida Product Approval-only unit in its place fails county inspection. We verify current NOA status before we quote to prevent this.
• Standing-water flooding at thresholds. Low-elevation Kendall neighborhoods see repeated threshold inundation after heavy rain. Older aluminum assemblies were never designed for this. The sill pan rots, the frame corrodes, and water intrudes even when the glass itself is intact.
• Subtropical humidity accelerating seal failure. Kendall’s year-round humidity degrades glazing tape and frame gaskets faster than in drier Florida markets. We see this as accelerated air infiltration and condensation between panes on older units.

Kendall’s Post-Andrew Replacement Wave: What Homeowners Need to Know

Kendall’s post-Andrew replacement wave is now visible as a distinct permit pattern. Because Miami-Dade County - not the City of Kendall, which is unincorporated - has jurisdiction here, and every sliding glass door swap requires a contractor-pulled permit plus a match between the installed unit’s NOA number and the county’s approved product list, the 1990s-vintage impact sliders installed after Hurricane Andrew are currently failing inspection at a rate that reveals their original NOA listings have expired or been superseded. The result is that a homeowner who replaced a slider after Andrew cannot legally replace it with a like-for-like unit today. The current NOA must correspond to the exact make, model, and size being installed.

We were called out to a 1980s CBS ranch on Killian Drive where the original post-Andrew aluminum slider was leaking at the sill and the homeowner assumed the replacement would be a quick like-for-like swap. Our tech found the original NOA had been superseded and the opening, framed for a 6-foot slider, couldn’t fit a modern impact-rated unit without reframing the jamb. We pulled the Miami-Dade County permit, installed a PGT WinGuard impact sliding glass door with laminated glass interlayer, and passed inspection because the NOA number on the label matched the approved product list. The homeowner later mentioned the county inspector specifically checked the NOA label against the approved list - no exceptions.

This is not a corner we cut. It is not a surprise we spring. It is the condition of working in Kendall, and we scope for it before we quote.
