If you own a home in North Miami, you already know the two pressures that never let up: salt air eating at aluminum frames, and Florida insurers scrutinizing every window opening. Most homes here were built between 1950 and 1980 with jalousie or single-pane aluminum units that wouldn’t pass a wind-mitigation inspection today. Winslow Windows & Doors handles the full fix: impact windows, replacement doors, and roofing. Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and a live person answers when you call (850) 998-3090, day or night.

Why North Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
North Miami homeowners deal with a specific set of problems: original jalousie windows that leak conditioned air, sliding glass doors that drag on corroded tracks, and insurance renewals that hinge on whether your openings carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We’ve built our reputation in neighborhoods like Keystone Point and Arch Creek Estates on exactly these jobs. Ed Winslow founded the company in 2011 and runs it with his name on the door, which means the person who quotes your job is the person accountable for the result. Our Done Right Promise is simple: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No ticket numbers, no corporate escalation, and no voicemail loops. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know who’s at your door before they knock. We publish our address and license number openly, and we install only authorized brands: PGT, CGI, CWS among them.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in North Miami
Impact Windows
Impact windows in North Miami aren’t a luxury item. They’re the difference between an insurance renewal and a cancellation letter. Every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA and is matched to the design pressure of the specific opening, never a one-size-fits-all rating above +/-100. Laminated impact glass means no plywood, no shutters to hang, and no scramble when a storm tracks toward the western Biscayne Bay shoreline. For a deeper look at how we handle the strictest code in the country, start on our home page.

Window Installation
Window installation in North Miami requires more than setting a frame in the rough opening. The 1950s concrete block ranch homes that dominate this city have openings sized for jalousie units, which means custom framing, shimming, and anchoring into CBS walls. Our crews pull the exact measurements, verify the wall condition, and install to Miami-Dade HVHZ standards on every job.

Window Replacement
If your original aluminum single-panes are still in place, you’re losing conditioned air and inviting the next leak. Replacement often means converting a jalousie opening to a full impact unit, which changes the structural load path. We handle that conversion properly, with attention to the rough opening, the anchoring, and the exterior trim work. One call gets you a written line-item quote before any work starts.

Door Installation
Front doors in North Miami take a beating from humidity and salt. We install fiberglass and steel entry doors that don’t warp, swell, or rust, along with the hardware and weatherstripping that keeps the elements out. Every entry door we set is shimmed, squared, and adjusted so it closes with authority.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliding glass doors are one of the highest-volume jobs we do in North Miami, especially in the 1980s and 1990s garden-style condominium buildings spread across the city. Old aluminum tracks corrode, rollers fail, and panels bind. We replace them with impact-rated units that glide on stainless hardware and seal tight under wind load.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and argon-filled insulated units make a measurable difference in North Miami, where air conditioning runs most of the year. Our energy-efficient windows cut solar heat gain without sacrificing the impact protection your insurance carrier wants to see. You don’t choose between efficiency and safety here; you get both in the same unit.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is usually the largest opening on a North Miami home, and an unbraced door can blow out under hurricane pressure and let the roof go next. We install impact-rated garage doors that carry the same Miami-Dade approval as our windows and entry doors.
Custom & Geometric Windows
North Miami has plenty of mid-century ranch homes with unusual window shapes: eyebrow arches, trapezoid fixed panes, circular vents. Custom and geometric windows get templated and fabricated to fit the original opening, so you don’t have to reframe the wall to upgrade the glass.
Roof Repair
Roofs and windows work as a system. A roof leak above a window header can rot the framing and compromise the anchoring. We repair shingle, tile, and metal roofs throughout North Miami, addressing the leak before it becomes a structural problem.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When roof replacement becomes necessary, we handle the full scope: tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and the finished surface. A new roof paired with impact windows is the strongest wind-mitigation story you can present to an insurance underwriter.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
North Miami’s housing stock includes everything from flat-tile Mediterranean styles to standing-seam metal on mid-century designs. We install all three roof types to current wind-load standards, with attention to the flashing details that keep the envelope watertight.
Neighborhoods We Serve in North Miami
We work throughout North Miami, from the waterfront lots along the Intracoastal to the inland neighborhoods near North Miami Avenue. Typical response time for a service call is one to two business days, depending on crew scheduling.

Why North Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
North Miami sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That’s the strictest product-approval standard in the country. The housing stock compounds the challenge: most single-family homes are concrete block ranch houses built between 1950 and 1975, and many still have their original jalousie windows. Those louvered glass slats offer almost no impact resistance and essentially no air seal. Florida insurers know this and are using pre-HVHZ window openings as grounds for non-renewal. Meanwhile, the western Biscayne Bay shoreline means persistent salt-air exposure that corrodes aluminum frames, hardware, and weep holes faster than you’d see in inland South Florida cities. In Keystone Point specifically, we’ve pulled out impact windows installed only 12 to 15 years ago that had fully corroded frame corners and weep-hole tracks, requiring complete frame-out replacements. Homeowners in those situations assumed the impact upgrade was a one-time fix. On the water, it isn’t. That’s why we specify marine-grade finishes and inspect the full opening, not just the glass, before quoting a replacement.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in North Miami
Florida Pays North Miami Homeowners Back
There’s real money available to offset impact upgrades in North Miami right now, and most homeowners don’t know the full stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, including impact windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many carriers credit roughly 25% off the windstorm portion of the premium. The exact numbers depend on your policy and your home’s inspection score. No one should promise a fixed dollar amount. But the incentives are real systems run by the state and federal government, and we walk every North Miami customer through what they may qualify for on our home page. One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper upfront but require someone to hang them before every storm, and they do nothing for your energy bills, your noise level, or your resale value. Impact glass is permanent protection that’s working the moment you close the window. If you’re weighing a big-box retail install against a licensed impact specialist, remember that North Miami’s HVHZ code doesn’t grade on a curve. A retrofit that lacks the right design pressure or anchoring detail won’t pass inspection, and you’ll pay twice. We handle the paperwork, the permits, and the final inspection every time.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in North Miami
How much does impact window replacement cost in North Miami?
Impact window replacement in North Miami typically costs $950 to $2,600 per opening installed, depending on whether you’re swapping a same-size window or converting an original jalousie opening. Jalousie conversions with custom framing and anchoring run higher because the rough opening has to be rebuilt. Call (850) 998-3090 for a free line-item quote on your specific windows.
Do North Miami windows need to be Miami-Dade approved?
Yes. North Miami falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Products approved for Broward County, just north of the county line, don’t automatically qualify here. We only install NOA-certified units, and we match the design pressure to each opening rather than using a blanket rating.
Will new impact windows lower my insurance premium in North Miami?
Most North Miami homeowners see a reduction on the windstorm portion of their premium after a wind-mitigation inspection confirms the new openings. The credit averages around 25%, but the final number comes from your carrier and your inspection score. The bigger financial risk is doing nothing: insurers are issuing non-renewals for homes with original pre-HVHZ windows. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll walk you through the process.
Why are my impact windows corroding in Keystone Point?
Salt air from the western Biscayne Bay shoreline attacks aluminum frame corners and weep-hole tracks, especially on waterfront properties where exposure is constant. We’ve replaced impact windows in Keystone Point that were only 12 to 15 years old because the frames had corroded to failure. The fix is a complete frame-out replacement with marine-grade finishes specified for coastal exposure, not just a glass swap.
Do you pull permits for window and door replacement in North Miami?
Yes. We pull every permit required by the city of North Miami and Miami-Dade County, and every job passes its final inspection before we consider it complete. Any contractor who tells you a permit isn’t needed for impact window replacement in the HVHZ is wrong. Our Done Right Promise covers the work, and the inspection provides independent verification.

What North Miami Customers Say
"We sat out a hurricane behind the windows Ed put in. The gusts threw a neighbour's trampoline down the street and the loudest thing in our house was the kettle. I rang him after to say thank you and he answered his own phone, same as always."
- Thaddeus Okonkwo"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
- Rosalind Beaumont"The old aluminium sliders howled every afternoon storm and swelter came straight through the glass. The new impact sliders shut with a sound like a bank vault and the back rooms finally hold their temperature."
- Percival Whitcombe
