AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Kendale Lakes
If your Kendale Lakes home still has its original windows from the 1970s or early 1980s, you already know the drill: fogged glass, cranks that fight you, and air conditioning dollars escaping through aluminum frames that conduct Miami heat like a frying pan. Window replacement in Kendale Lakes runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical single-family home, while full impact window installation starts around $8,000 and can reach $25,000 depending on opening count and product line. Barrett & Sons Construction has worked these CBS tract homes long enough to know exactly what’s behind those walls, and what Miami-Dade code demands before a single window comes out. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the house with you, line by line, before we ever quote a number.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to Kendale Lakes. Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up on SW 72nd Street, along Kendale Lakes Drive, and through the loops off SW 137th Avenue. Homeowners in Kendale Lakes keep calling us back because the price we quote is the price we honor, and any change that comes up mid-job arrives as a written change order before it touches the work. Not after. Not as a surprise on the final invoice.
We know the housing stock here because we’ve opened enough walls in it. The original aluminum windows in these 40-to-50-year-old CBS homes were never designed for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards Miami-Dade enforces today. That matters when you’re pricing a job: a straight swap-out isn’t always possible, and you deserve a contractor who can explain why before you sign, not one who discovers it halfway through and hands you a bill. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Calls to (877) 610-1318 get answered by a live person, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. When you call about windows or doors in Kendale Lakes, you reach someone who knows the neighborhood, not someone reading a script.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Kendale Lakes
Window Installation
We install Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT windows in Kendale Lakes homes every week. Installation on these older CBS homes usually means reframing openings that have shifted over four decades, then flashing and sealing to Miami-Dade code so the afternoon thunderstorms that roll in off the Everglades don’t find a way inside. Every permitted window job gets inspected and signed before we call it done.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and garage-side entries in Kendale Lakes take a beating from the wet season’s humidity and the punishing western exposure many lots face. We install properly sealed exterior doors with the right weatherstripping and flashings, the way the original 1978-era builders rarely bothered to. A door that costs $1,500 but leaks water into your slab is not a deal.
Window Replacement
If you’re pulling out original single-pane aluminum frames in Kendale Lakes, you’ll feel the difference immediately: quieter rooms, lower AC load, and glass that doesn’t radiate heat into the house by 10 a.m. Replacement runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on window count, material, and whether we’re doing a like-for-like switch or upgrading to impact-rated units. We’ll show you the difference between a basic vinyl replacement and a code-compliant impact window in plain English, not sales-speak.
Impact Windows & Doors
Kendale Lakes sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means impact-rated openings are not an upsell here, they’re the standard any permitted job has to meet. Impact window installation in Kendale Lakes typically runs $8,000-$25,000. We install PGT and CGI impact lines regularly, and we’ll walk you through product approvals, missile-impact ratings, and what the inspector will check. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like him.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Condensation and fogged glass in original aluminum frames. The seals on 40-year-old double-pane units in Kendale Lakes failed long ago, and once the desiccant inside is saturated, the only real fix is replacement. We see this constantly on homes built between 1975 and 1985.
- Warped or swollen exterior doors. With the Everglades drainage basin right against the neighborhood’s western edge, humidity is relentless. Wood doors that were never sealed properly swell, bind, and stop closing cleanly.
- Non-impact openings triggering code violations. Any permitted remodel, addition, or reroof under Miami-Dade rules can force existing windows into HVHZ compliance, and homeowners in Kendale Lakes frequently find out from an inspector. We handle those upgrades often, and we price them in writing before work begins.
- Water intrusion at window sills and door thresholds. The low-slope concrete-tile roofs common in Kendale Lakes don’t shed water fast enough during summer downpours, which means runoff finds its way into any poorly flashed opening. We re-flash, re-seal, and correct drainage so the fix lasts.
