Why Kendall West Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
When you’ve owned a home in Kendall West for twenty years, you’ve probably had at least one contractor who talked fast and disappeared faster. That’s not how we work. TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, who started with a simple rule he still keeps on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re not a franchise, and we don’t run crews we wouldn’t send to our own mothers’ houses.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before ordering anything. We serve Kendall West homeowners across the area’s master-planned communities, and our workmanship comes with a Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork fights, no arguing. We stand behind it, in writing.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Kendall West
Window Installation
New windows in Kendall West have to meet Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, which means every opening needs a Notice of Acceptance number from the approved-product list. We spec manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying before any work starts. Window Installation in Kendall West.
Door Installation
Entry doors in Kendall West take a beating from humidity and afternoon thunderstorms. We install steel, fiberglass, and impact-rated entry doors that handle the climate and close square, not the way the builder-grade originals do after two decades of settling. Door Installation in Kendall West.
Window Replacement
Most Kendall West homes still have their original single-pane aluminum sliders, and they fail in predictable ways: fogged glass, corroded weep holes, frames that bind when the humidity swells. We replace them with NOA-compliant units and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. Window Replacement in Kendall West.
Impact Windows & Doors
Kendall West sits on the flat western edge of the county with open sight lines straight toward the Everglades, so there’s no urban windbreak between your house and a storm. Impact windows and doors in Kendall West are the only way to close the envelope properly, and we’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, among others.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Florida Power & Light bills in Kendall West don’t drop because you wish them down; they drop when you stop moving air through 25-year-old aluminum frames. Energy-efficient windows in Kendall West with Low-E glazing and insulated frames cut the AC load measurably, and we’ll run the numbers with you before you commit.
Sliding & Patio Doors
The most common service call we get in Kendall West is a patio slider that won’t slide. Original rollers wear out, tracks fill with grit from summer storms, and the door frame flexes. We repair and replace sliding and patio doors in Kendall West with units built for this climate, and we do most jobs in a single visit.
Glass Railing Systems
For Kendall West homeowners with pool decks and second-story balconies, Glass railing systems in Kendall West hold up to humidity and give you a clean line without corroding metal. We measure, fabricate, and install with the same standard as every other TruePane job.
Custom Windows & Doors
Sometimes the opening isn’t standard, and no amount of shimming makes it square. We build and install custom windows and doors sized to the actual rough opening, in finishes and configurations that match the house, not the catalog.

Why Kendall West’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Kendall West falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most rigorous product-approval standard in the country. Every window and door replacement here has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and that’s not something we work around; it’s the baseline. The bigger issue is the housing stock itself.
A large share of Kendall West was built in the late 1980s through early 1990s, right before and right after Hurricane Andrew rewrote the code in August 1992. That means thousands of homes in this specific area still have their original non-impact aluminum frames, many of them installed under the old rules. Those windows are now hitting 30-plus years old, and the seals and hardware are failing at the same time. Combine that with Kendall West’s year-round humidity, regularly above 80% relative humidity, and you get fogged glass, corroded weep holes, and frames that swell and stick. The open flat terrain toward the Everglades doesn’t help; there’s no windbreak between your house and a tropical system. This is not a generic South Florida problem. It’s the specific condition of Kendall West’s housing stock, and we see it every week in these subdivisions.

What Kendall West Customers Say
"Storm door and a new back entry door. Small job, but they treated it like one that mattered. Screws in the hinges are stainless, the sweep actually seals, and the invoice matched the phone quote to the dollar."
- Vernon H."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L."Eleven windows replaced in two days. The crew chief, Marcus, showed me the level on every single frame before they caulked it. My wife noticed the street noise was gone before I did."
- Ronald P.
