Why Hale Windows & Doors Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Window Repair Company
Hale Windows & Doors has been repairing and replacing windows in South Florida since 2009, and the homes in Kendale Lakes have a particular set of problems we’ve learned to diagnose fast. The subdivision’s housing stock was almost entirely built between the 1970s and 1980s, which means original single-pane aluminum frames, corroded tracks, failed flashing, and wall cavities that haven’t been opened in four decades. Our Window Repair team knows what those stucco-over-CBS walls conceal before we pull the first piece of trim. Spencer Odell, who leads Hale Windows & Doors, built the company on one promise that matters in this neighborhood: a written price before any tool comes off the truck, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise if the work isn’t right.
Every technician we send to Kendale Lakes is background-checked, identity-verified, photo-badged, and pre-announced by name and photo before they arrive. We call it the Threshold Standard, and for homeowners in Kendale Lakes who are often home alone or have young kids, it’s the difference between opening the door with confidence and guessing who’s outside. Our customers across Kendale Lakes, from the neighborhoods off SW 88th Street to the condo communities near Kendall Drive, tell us the same thing: the written quote and the named technician are why they called us back for the next repair. We’re independently owned and operated, part of the Threshold Group family of home-service brands, and dispatched locally from our Miami (South FL) office.
Window Frame Repair in Kendale Lakes
Window frame repair in Kendale Lakes typically costs $300 to $700 per opening depending on how much of the original 1970s or 1980s aluminum frame has corroded. In our experience, Kendale Lakes homeowners call after years of ignoring a window that sticks, then one rainy season the water finally breaches the frame and the damage is visible on the interior drywall. We start by removing the sash and inspecting the rough opening for failed flashing and pitted metal. If the frame is salvageable, we clean and reseal it; if it’s corroded through or the track no longer holds a seal, we price a full unit replacement and show you the numbers side by side.
What Frame Repair Involves
Frame repair on a Kendale Lakes home usually means removing the sash, cleaning out the channel, replacing worn balance hardware, and re-flashing the rough opening so water stops wicking into the stucco. Because Kendale Lakes homes sit in a tropical monsoon climate with salt air and six months of hurricane season, we use corrosion-resistant fasteners and modern flashing tape that wasn’t available when these homes were built. The repair is written up with a line-item price so you see exactly what you’re paying for before we begin.
When Replacement Makes More Sense
If the aluminum frame is pitted through or the corners have split, a repair won’t hold up in a Kendale Lakes wind-driven rain. We’ll tell you straight when a replacement is the honest answer instead of a patch. The written quote will show both options, and the final call is always yours.
Broken Window Repair in Kendale Lakes
Broken window repair in Kendale Lakes runs $180 to $350 for a single-pane replacement in a standard window, and more when the broken unit is a sliding glass door or a large fixed picture window. A shattered pane in an original aluminum frame is common, and we treat it as both a comfort need and a security issue since a broken window leaves your home exposed. Call (252) 675-6980 and we’ll schedule a technician to measure the opening, identify the glass type, and give you a written price for the replacement. We carry the glass types that match the existing units in most Kendale Lakes homes.
Same-Day Board-Up and Glass Replacement
If a window is broken and open to the elements, we can secure the opening and get the glass ordered. A standard single-pane replacement is often done in one visit once we have the measurements. For impact-rated or custom sizes, the glass fabricates in 4 to 6 weeks and we’ll install the moment it arrives.
Impact Glass vs. Standard Glass
An older Kendale Lakes home with original single-pane glass is a candidate for an upgrade, even if only one pane broke. We’ll quote the standard replacement, and we’ll also quote what an impact-rated unit would cost in that same opening. The difference is typically hundreds of dollars per window, but hurricane protection, energy savings, and Florida insurance credits shift the math. You’ll get both numbers in writing and choose what fits your budget.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
Our technicians service and install windows from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, along with several other professional-grade product lines. We match the brand to the job rather than pushing one manufacturer, and we keep a local inventory of common replacement parts so Kendale Lakes customers aren’t waiting on a slow supply chain for simple hardware. If your window is a PGT impact unit that needs a new balance or a CGI frame that has to be re-glazed, we can source the exact component without substituting an off-brand part. Spencer Odell and the team have built product depth across the major impact and high-efficiency brands precisely because South Florida openings vary so much from one home to the next.
Common Window Repair Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Failed flashing and water intrusion at the rough opening. Original 1970s and 1980s flashing has deteriorated behind stucco-over-CBS walls, and the leak doesn’t show until the wall is opened. We fix the flashing, re-stucco the opening, and replace any rotted substrate.
- Corroded aluminum frames and tracks. Salt air and year-round humidity pit original single-pane aluminum jambs and sashes. A sliding door or window that “just needs new glass” often needs the whole unit because the track can’t seal anymore.
- Failed seals and fogged insulated glass. Kendale Lakes humidity accelerates seal failure in older double-pane units, leaving condensation trapped between the panes. We replace the insulated glass unit and confirm the frame is still holding.
- Code-triggered upgrades once walls are open. When an inspector sees pre-current framing, header ties, or aluminum branch wiring, the repair can become a multi-trade job. We write allowances into the quote before we start so you’re never surprised by a code correction.

What Window Repair Costs in Kendale Lakes

Large openings, second-story work, or custom configurations push toward $2,500 to $5,000 per unit. Whole-home packages across a typical 1970s Kendale Lakes single-family start around $8,000 and go up from there depending on how many openings need restoration.

We’ll come out, measure, inspect, and hand you a written quote before you decide anything. Call (252) 675-6980 to schedule your free in-home measure.
One more thing on pricing: if you compare a Kendale Lakes window repair from a licensed impact specialist against having a big-box retail installer do the same job, you’ll notice a difference. Big-box installers often quote the unit and the direct labor, then add change orders for flashing, stucco repair, and code corrections. We price those as allowances upfront because we know what’s behind the wall. The number you sign is the number you pay.
Florida Pays You Back
Kendale Lakes homeowners have several financial incentives available when upgrading to impact-rated windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many Kendale Lakes homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we won’t guarantee a specific credit, but we’ll tell you exactly what to ask your insurer.
When we quote impact products for Kendale Lakes, we verify Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers for each configuration and match the design pressure to the opening. Nobody should install a window in this wind zone without confirming the rating, and we never specify anything above +/-100 PSF. Impact windows versus hurricane shutters is a common question we get from Kendale Lakes homeowners weighing options. Shutters are cheaper up front, but they only protect when someone is home to deploy them, and panels have to be stored and lifted each storm. Impact windows protect permanently, with no panels to hang and no prep before a warning goes up.

FAQs About Window Repair in Kendale Lakes
Your quote changes because the original flashing behind the stucco has failed and the wall cavity has no weather barrier, which wasn’t code-required when most Kendale Lakes homes were built. At Hale Windows & Doors, we write flashing, stucco patch, and any likely code corrections into the contract as allowances before we open the wall. If the inspector or our tech discovers something outside the allowance, you approve the add-on in writing before we proceed. Call (252) 675-6980 and we’ll walk you through exactly how our allowances work.
You can replace the glass only in many cases, and we’ll quote it. But Kendale Lakes sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and original single-pane windows fail both impact and energy standards. An impact-rated unit costs more up front, but the insurance credits and permanent storm protection shift the long-term value. We’ll provide both numbers and let you choose.
In most Kendale Lakes homes, a warped aluminum track on a 40-year-old sliding door can’t be straightened back into a proper seal. We’ll inspect it and be honest. If the track is only slightly out of alignment, we can adjust and reseal. If the frame is corroded or the roller channels are worn through, replacement is the only repair that will hold, and we’ll quote a PGT or CGI impact-rated door to match the opening.
Yes, it can. Once a wall is open, a Miami-Dade inspector may require upgrades to framing, header ties, or wiring that predates current code. We see this on Kendale Lakes homes from the 1970s and 1980s more than in newer construction. We pre-negotiate the likely code items into the contract as a written allowance so a window swap doesn’t become an unplanned multi-trade project.
We service and install PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. We match the product to your specific opening and keep common replacement parts in local inventory for faster turnaround on Kendale Lakes jobs.
