Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Kendall West
Replacing windows or doors in Kendall West is rarely about aesthetics alone. It’s about water intrusion during August downpours, air leaks that spike your AC bill from May through October, and impact ratings that actually pass a Miami-Dade inspection. A standard window replacement in Kendall West runs $4,500-$15,000, while full impact window installation typically falls between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on how many openings your home has and whether the frames are standard or custom. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve done this work long enough to know that homes in 33193 have their own set of rules. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Kendall West sits right up against the Everglades buffer, where the limestone is shallow, the water table sits high, and the housing stock dates mainly from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. That means your windows and doors aren’t just keeping out heat and rain. On the older side of the Hurricane Andrew code line, they might be the weak point that fails a wind-load inspection if you ever pull a permit for a larger remodel. We understand that context because we work in it every week, from the streets off SW 8th Street down to the neighborhoods bordering Kendall Drive.
Key Takeaways:
- Window replacement in Kendall West typically costs $4,500-$15,000; impact window installation runs $8,000-$25,000.
- Homes built before August 1992 in Kendall West often need tie-down and opening-protection upgrades to satisfy current Miami-Dade code.
- Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look them up before you sign anything.
- Every price change arrives as a written change order before any work begins.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kendall West’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Kendall West. There’s no franchise layer and no out-of-state call center. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, every time. The person who shakes your hand at the estimate is the same person you’ll see at the hardware store on Saturday.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Kendall West, and we won’t pretend to be. What we offer is scope in writing, allowances in writing, and change orders in writing. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like having him on the job. If something isn’t done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise puts Tom back at your door with one phone call. No fine print, no runaround.
Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance system is the strictest product-approval process in the country, and inspectors in this western corridor are known to reject materials that carry only a Florida statewide approval. Out-of-county contractors get tripped up by that every single time they pull a permit here. We don’t, because Kendall West is our backyard, and we’ve been through enough of these inspections to know exactly what passes.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Kendall West
Window Installation
New window installation in Kendall West homes from the 1985-2000 building era means more than swapping glass. The opening itself often needs re-flashing and sealing against the humidity and wind-driven rain that rolls in off the Everglades. We install Andersen and Marvin windows, and every opening gets checked for plumb, level, and square before the unit goes in.

Door Installation
A front door in Kendall West takes a beating from sun, salt air, and afternoon thunderstorms. We install exterior doors rated for South Florida exposure, including impact-rated units. The frame, threshold, and weatherstripping get the same attention as the slab itself, because a door that seals tight on day one and leaks on day ninety isn’t done right.

Window Replacement
Older Kendall West homes, especially those built before August 1992, frequently have single-pane aluminum windows that predate current wind-load requirements. Replacing them isn’t just an energy decision. It’s often a structural one. We handle the full scope: removal, disposal, frame repair, and installation of code-compliant replacements, with permits pulled and inspections signed.

Impact Windows & Doors
Impact installation is the single highest-value upgrade you can make to a Kendall West home, both for storm protection and for insurance documentation. Impact windows and doors in Kendall West run $8,000-$25,000 for a typical single-family home, and the exact figure depends on opening count, size, and whether your home straddles the pre- or post-Andrew code line. Every installation carries a Miami-Dade NOA number that we show you in writing before the first window arrives.
If your project touches the yard or the driveway, we can also handle Fence Installation in Kendall West and Driveway & Pavers in Kendall West. It’s the same crew, same standards, same written change orders. One call covers the whole scope.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West
We install Andersen and Marvin windows, and we stock common replacement parts locally so Kendall West customers aren’t waiting on a warehouse two states away. Most hardware and components for standard-size units are already in our inventory or available same-week through our Miami suppliers. That means less downtime for you, and fewer surprises on the written quote. We also work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers when a window or door project extends into a patio or outdoor living scope on the same Kendall West property. Materials you can look up by name, not mystery brands off a van.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- Swollen, sticking doors during wet season. Kendall West’s humidity sits above 85% for months at a time. Wood-core doors and unsealed frames swell and bind, especially on west-facing exposures off 8th Street that take the afternoon sun and then cool fast when storms roll in off the Everglades.
- Leaking single-pane windows built before the 1992 code. Plenty of Kendall West homes still have original aluminum frames from the late 1980s. The gaskets harden, the weep holes clog, and water finds its way into the stucco. Once that starts, the framing behind the stucco is next.
- Corroded hardware from salt and humidity. Galvanized screws and hinges embedded in concrete block don’t last forever in this environment. We regularly see rusted anchors on exterior doors and window frames in Kendall West, even on homes that look well-kept from the street.
- Impact upgrades tripping code issues on older homes. If your home was built before August 1992, adding impact windows often forces the inspector to look at roof-to-wall connections. It’s a Miami-Dade quirk that surprises homeowners every year. It doesn’t surprise us. We flag it at the estimate, not at inspection.

Pre-Andrew construction often triggers additional strapping or tie-down work, which we put in the written scope before any money changes hands.

For storm damage, break-ins, or a door that won’t secure, we prioritize Kendall West calls and can often get a crew out the same day. Warren is not promised on planned jobs, because planned work deserves a proper scope and permit. But a window that’s been boarded up after a storm? That’s an emergency, and we treat it like one.
Materials and labor are priced the same whether you’re in Kendall West, Kendale Lakes, or Country Walk. What changes is the code compliance work your specific home needs. Kendall West’s stock of pre-1992 builds means a higher percentage of our window and door jobs here include tie-down or opening-upgrade scope than in newer communities a few miles east. That’s not a markup. It’s the cost of doing it to code.
Every Barrett & Sons job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. On top of that, the brands we install carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we provide the documentation in writing at the end of the job. If you have a warranty question down the road, you call the same number you used on day one. A live person answers, 24/7.
