Windows & Doors in Kendale Lakes - Written Price Before Anything Is Ordered

Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Kendale Lakes

Replacing windows or doors in Kendale Lakes is rarely just a swap. Most homes here were built in the 1970s and early 1980s as CBS tract houses, and those original openings almost always need reframing, flashing, and HVHZ-compliant anchoring before anything new goes in. We know that because we’ve opened enough of them. Kendall West, The Crossings, and the streets around the lakes off SW 72nd Street all share the same construction DNA, and we’ve worked those blocks long enough to know what’s behind the drywall before we cut. If you’re pricing impact windows or a new front door, call Tom at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight number.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company

Barrett & Sons has been owner-operated since 1998, and the crews rolling into Kendale Lakes are Tom Barrett’s sons and their teams, not strangers in a branded van. When a Kendale Lakes homeowner calls about a window that won’t seal or a sliding glass door that grinds, the person who answers is a live person, and the person who shows up has a name you can verify. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything.

Kendale Lakes customers regularly tell us the same thing: a national outfit quoted one price on the phone and handed over a different bill at the door. That doesn’t happen here. Every scope, allowance, and price change arrives as a written change order before work starts. No surprise invoices. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. And every completed project carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.

Local reputation matters in a community as tight as Kendale Lakes. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We’ve been serving Miami-Dade for 29 years, and our Windows & Doors team is built for the specific code and climate pressure this area puts on every opening.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Kendale Lakes

Window Installation

New window installation in Kendale Lakes means working inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, where every permitted opening must be impact-rated or protected by a code-approved shutter system. We frame, flash, and anchor to current HVHZ standards, and we won’t pass inspection on a guess. Since most Kendale Lakes homes are CBS construction, the existing window bucks are often original and need repair before the new unit goes in. We handle that.

Door Installation

Front doors, side doors, and garage entry doors in Kendale Lakes take a beating from sun, humidity, and hurricane-season wind-driven rain. A door that’s slightly out of square here will leak within a season. We install and weather-seal entry doors so they close square against the frame and hold the threshold seal tight. If you’re replacing an original hollow-core door on a 1970s tract home, we’ll likely need to reframe the rough opening to fit a modern pre-hung unit properly, just as we do with our Kitchen Remodeling in Kendale Lakes projects that require matching existing openings.

Window Replacement

Window replacement in Kendale Lakes typically runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on the number of units and whether we’re upgrading to impact glass. The original single-pane aluminum frames common in this neighborhood lose seal fast, especially on western exposures that bake all afternoon. Replacing them with vinyl or aluminum impact-rated units, often from PGT or Simonton, tightens the envelope and drops your cooling load. Southern-facing windows near the lakes also get more reflected glare off the water, so glass package selection matters more than people expect.

Impact Windows & Doors

Impact windows and doors are the single best retrofit for a Kendale Lakes home. They remove the seasonal shutter scramble and meet HVHZ code with laminated glass that holds together under impact. A full-house impact window package in Kendale Lakes typically starts around $8,000 and can reach $25,000 for larger two-story homes or wider openings. We install PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem impact lines and we’ll photograph the label on every unit so you have proof for your insurer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes

We install and service PGT, Simonton, and CGI products across Kendale Lakes, which matters because these are brands you can look up, not mystery units off a van. Most Kendale Lakes homes were built with the same original aluminum window frames, and we keep common replacement parts and hardware for those aging units local to South Florida. That means faster turnaround when you need a broken sash or spring balance replaced, and we stock impact glass orders through our Miami office so Kendale Lakes customers aren’t waiting on a distributor three states away.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes

• Fogged or sweaty insulated glass in original 1970s frames. The heat and humidity on the western edge of Miami-Dade, where Kendale Lakes sits right against the Everglades drainage basin, pushes moisture into aging seals. Once the argon leaks out, the glass fogs permanently and replacement is the only fix.
• Rusted or seized aluminum window tracks. The high water table here isn’t just an excavation problem. It also means elevated ambient moisture year-round, and original single-track aluminum frames corrode at the corners until the window won’t slide.
• Sliding glass doors that grind or bind. Doors facing the man-made lakes catch constant reflected sun and occasional wind-driven sand from the perimeter roads. Rollers wear flat, tracks fill with grit, and the panel eventually drags. In Kendale Lakes, it’s rarely just a roller swap; the track usually needs straightening or replacement.
• Leaking around original door thresholds. During summer downpours, wind drives rain sideways against east-facing doors. If the threshold seal or door sweep has hardened from years of UV exposure, water walks straight in. We replace the threshold, flash the pan, and reseal the exterior trim so it survives the next storm.
