Kendall has three kinds of door trouble: original frames in the 1950s and 1960s ranches around Dadeland and Old Kendall, sliders to the water in the lake communities that leak where the sill pan failed, and thirty-year-old post-Andrew impact doors in the west whose rollers and weatherstrip are done. We rebuild the frame, reseal the slider, replace the rollers and seals, and install the door you chose through the county permit when the old one is past saving.

THE LISTALL DONEEvery item is a regular Kendall morning for a Kaminskiy-certified technician from our Coral Gables office. One list, one call.
Priced and on the calendar during the first call.
A written quote you approve before anyone drives out.
One crew, truck stocked, warranty in writing.
A one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, on every Kendall job.
Ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s on big lots under old oaks, some predating Andrew, with original doors, fascia, soffits and carports. The shade keeps the wood wet, doors bind in settled frames, jambs wick at the slab. We rebuild to the original profile, rehang the originals and replace the ones past saving with the impact doors you choose.
Communities from the 1970s on lake lots with sliders to the water, patio covers, pergolas and decks. Sill pans fail and the rain comes in, rollers flatten, beam ends check, deck boards rot at the water. We reseal and re-roller the sliders, splice the beams and rebuild the boards on sealed ends.
Association communities built after Andrew, block and stucco with foam trim, impact doors and identical streets. Thirty-year-old rollers, weatherstrip and garage-to-house doors are done, jambs go at the slab, and the association expects the color to match. We adjust and reseal, photograph the scheme and match it.
Depends which Kendall. In the east the oaks keep the 1950s ranches in shade so nothing dries; around the lakes the sliders and decks stay wet from below; out west the post-Andrew houses are at the age where rollers, weatherstrip and hinges go all at once. Everywhere, the wet season keeps it damp for half the year and the irrigation hits the same jamb every morning.
Doors, sliders, drywall, trim, pergolas, fences, decks, rot, caulk and the move-in list are handyman work. Electrical, plumbing, air conditioning and roofing are licensed trades in Florida and a beam that carries a roof is an engineer's call, so we name them on the call and tell you who to call. The licensed pest company treats the termites; we rebuild afterward.
Most Kendall jobs are priced on the call from a description or a photo, in writing, before anything is scheduled. A rebuilt frame, a pergola or a bathroom refresh gets a look first and a written scope. The price you approve is the price at the house.
Kendall is not a city. It is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so the county building department, its minor-repair list and its scope-of-work form apply, not a city hall. We know the county's list, we tell you on the call what your job needs, and a new exterior door goes through the county permit with a Miami-Dade approval.
Tell us the list, or text a photo of the worst item. Most small repairs are priced on the call, in writing, in under ten minutes.
A Kaminskiy-certified technician comes with a stocked truck and works through the list in one visit wherever the parts allow.
A door swap, a rotted frame or a bathroom refresh gets a visit and a written scope before anything starts. No surprises at the house.
The work area is left clean and every repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty, on paper.
No handyman license exists in Florida. State law calls anyone paid to repair or improve a structure a contractor, exempts only casual minor work under a set small amount, and keeps structural work, roofing, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical for state-licensed contractors, with Miami-Dade issuing its own certificates for the specialty trades. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is bonded and insured, every technician Kaminskiy-certified and background checked, and we do the carpentry, doors, drywall, fences, rot and finish work while the licensed trades go to the right license.
Kendall is unincorporated, so Miami-Dade County's building department applies: the county lists non-structural repair work by a licensed contractor under a set cost as permit-exempt under the Florida Building Code's minor-repairs clause, with painting and low wood decks exempt too, and files a larger minor repair on a scope-of-work list instead of plans. A rehung door, a patched wall, a sill or a beam end sits on that side of the line; a door replaced with its frame, a window or structural damage is a full permit. The 2026 state exemption is a request the county decides, never in a flood zone, so we do not promise it.
In the high-velocity hurricane zone a replacement exterior door needs a county permit and a product with a Miami-Dade or Florida approval that passed the impact tests for this zone, or a shutter over the opening; a big-box door without that approval will not pass, so we check the approval and the size before you order. West and central Kendall are mostly association communities that want a matching repair and an approval letter before a new door, which we put in writing; East Kendall is mixed. The condo and townhome buildings of three stories or more carry the state milestone inspection: unit doors, trim and railings are ours, the structural report is the engineer's.

Usually, yes. We clear the weep holes, reset and reseal the sill, and replace the rollers and seals; if the frame itself is rotted we rebuild it first, and if the slider is past saving we tell you on the call.
For doors, drywall, trim, fences, decks, rot and finish work, a handyman, and Kaminskiy Care and Repair is bonded and insured with Kaminskiy-certified technicians. Florida reserves electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, roofing and structural work for state-licensed contractors, and we tell you who to call.
Kendall is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so the county building department and its minor-repair rules apply, not a city hall. Non-structural repairs by a licensed contractor under the county's set cost need no permit; a door replaced with its frame goes through a county permit with a Miami-Dade approval. We tell you on the call what your job needs.
A repair that matches the scheme rarely needs more than a note, which we put in writing. A new exterior door or a changed color needs the association's letter first, and we give you the size, style, color and approval number for it.
