AfterWindows & Doors Services in Ojus, FL
Impact windows and doors in Ojus typically run $45-$95 per square foot installed, with most full-home retrofits landing between $14,000 and $32,000 depending on opening count and product line. What sets Ojus apart from nearly every neighboring community is simple: every replacement unit here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), because Ojus sits entirely inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s more rigorous than the Florida Product Approval accepted just across the Broward line, and it changes which products we recommend, how we size openings, and what your permit reviewer will expect.
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been installing impact-rated, energy-certified windows and doors across Miami-Dade since 2011. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. When you call (850) 998-3090, a live person answers, day or night. No call centers, no ticket numbers, no “someone will get back to you.”

Why Ojus Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ojus isn’t a big market. It’s a tight grid of CBS ranch homes between West Dixie Highway and the Intracoastal, and word travels fast here. When a crew shows up late to a job near the Michael-Ann Russell JCC, half the neighborhood knows by dinner. When the inspector passes a full-home retrofit on the first pull, that also gets around. We’ve built our Ojus reputation the second way.
Most of our Ojus work comes from referrals in the neighborhoods along NE 186th Street and the streets branching north toward Skylake. Homeowners there tend to ask three questions: Will you show me the NOA number before you quote? Will the same crew that starts the job finish it? And will Ed actually pick up if something goes sideways? The answers are yes, yes, and yes. We arrive in uniform, background-checked, with a published license number and a written line-item estimate in hand. If you’ve got a competing written quote, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. Not a sales pitch, an actual read from someone who installs these systems every week.
We also install eight brands as an authorized dealer: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru. If the product isn’t on that list, we don’t touch it. When an Ojus homeowner needs a front door, we’re putting in a Therma-Tru. When they need impact glass, PGT and CGI cover most openings, and ES Windows handles the architectural and custom work.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Ojus
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Ojus projects. These are laminated-glass units with an interlayer that holds the pane together even when a 2×4 hits at 50 feet per second, tested and approved to Miami-Dade NOA standards for each specific configuration. We match design pressure ratings to each opening individually, and we’ll never sell you a unit rated above +/-100 where the opening doesn’t call for it. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Ojus.
Window Installation
A good product installed wrong still leaks, still fails inspection, and still voids the NOA. Our crews pull the old frame, inspect the rough opening, correct any rot or settling, and set the new unit in marine-grade sealant. Permit-ready documentation goes with every installation. Learn more about our Window Installation in Ojus.
Window Replacement
Ojus homes built before 1992 frequently have original jalousie or single-pane aluminum frames with non-standard rough openings. We measure, fabricate, and install custom impact replacements that fit the hole you actually have, not the one the catalog assumes. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Ojus.
Door Installation
Front entries and side doors in Ojus are often original hollow-core or old solid-wood units that were never sealed for Miami-Dade’s driving rain. We install impact-rated entry doors, French doors, and side-lite systems that meet HVHZ code and actually close tight. Learn more about our door installation services by calling (850) 998-3090.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Ojus patio doors get hammered by morning sun and salt air off the Intracoastal. We install impact-rated sliders with stainless hardware and marine-grade tracks that don’t bind after two seasons. Learn more about our sliding glass and patio door options in Ojus.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and insulated frames cut solar heat gain through Ojus’s big east-facing windows, where the afternoon sun turns a closed house into an oven. Expect 20-30% cooling savings, not a supermajority. Learn more about our energy-efficient window line for Ojus homes.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in the house and the first thing a wind gust rips off. We install brace-free impact-rated garage doors tested and NOA-approved for HVHZ zones. Learn more about our impact garage doors in Ojus.
Custom & Geometric Windows
The 1958 ranch with a half-round over the front door, the 1970s split-plan with trapezoid sidelights: Ojus has quirky openings. We fabricate custom geometric impact units, including PGT’s custom shapes and ES Windows’ architectural sizes. Learn more about custom and geometric windows for your Ojus home.
Roof Repair
Windows and roofs are the two things a hurricane takes off first. We repair shingle, tile, and metal roofs in Ojus, with the same licensed, permit-pulling approach we use on every window job. Learn more about our roof repair work in Ojus.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A new roof and new impact windows done together qualify for the biggest wind-mitigation credits and let you pull one permit instead of two. We handle full roof replacement in Ojus with written line-item pricing. Learn more about our roof replacement and installation services in Ojus.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
From the tiled Miami-Dade look to standing seam metal, we install all three roofing types in Ojus. No change orders, no vague allowances. The quote we write is the number you pay. Learn more about our shingle, tile, and metal roofing work in Ojus.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Ojus
We work throughout the Ojus grid, with more trucks rolling through certain pockets than others. Typical arrival for an estimate is a couple of business days once we’ve got your address, and we’ll give you a hard window, not a four-hour “somewhere in there.”
- Skylake - the lakefront blocks off NE 186th where older ranch homes get full impact retrofits
- Highland Lakes - the gated sections east toward the Intracoastal, where garage doors and sliders take priority
- Enchanted Lake - homes right on the water that need marine-grade finishes or the hardware corrodes in under five years
- Ojus Park - the streets around the community center where we’ve done many pre-sale replacement packages
Why Ojus’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Ojus sits four to five miles from the Atlantic and immediately west of the Intracoastal Waterway, which means the air is salty. Not a little salty. Salt-laden enough that unprotected aluminum window frames and door hardware start pitting and corroding within a few years. We’ve pulled out budget replacements in Ojus homes where the frames looked 25 years old after six. The fix isn’t a thicker coat of paint. It’s marine-grade finishes, stainless fasteners, and frames built to take the exposure. When we install PGT or CGI units here, the product is engineered for coastal Florida, but the installation details still matter: the flashing, the sealant, the weep holes. That’s where the Ojus-specific difference shows.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Ojus is mostly concrete-block ranch homes from the 1950s through early 1980s. Many still have their original jalousie windows, which means the rough openings are non-standard, and catalog-size impact units won’t drop in. These are custom-fabrication jobs, and the lead time runs 4-6 weeks once we’ve measured and ordered. The entry doors on these same homes are frequently hollow-core wood with no impact rating and no decent seal. In a Miami-Dade driving-rain storm, water finds those doors fast.
Florida Pays Ojus Homeowners Back
There’s real money on the table for Ojus homeowners who upgrade to impact windows and doors, and most of it stacks. My Safe Florida Home matching grants run up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Ojus falls squarely inside an eligible county. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which shaves meaningful dollars off a five-figure retrofit. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, most Ojus homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on the wind portion. We can’t guarantee any specific number, your carrier and the program set the final terms. But the direction of the money is clear, and we’ll help you document every upgrade so the credits and discounts land where they should.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Ojus
You can hang panels every June and take them down every November, or you can install impact windows once and be done. Ojus is full of homes where the shutters came off in 2005 and been stacked in the garage ever since, warped and squealing and waiting for a storm that always seems to come at 3 a.m. when nobody wants to be on a ladder. Impact windows don’t need a crew to deploy them. They don’t block your light for five months straight. And they don’t get lost, bent, or left behind in a move. They work the moment the wind picks up, whether you’re home or not. That’s the permanent fix, and it’s why we tell Ojus homeowners the shutter money is better spent on impact glazing.
Big-Box Retail Install vs. a Licensed Impact Specialist
A home improvement chain will sell you a window and then subcontract the installation to whoever’s next on a rotating list. They don’t pull your permit. They don’t know your specific Ojus opening dimensions. And they won’t be here in three years if the seal fails. We install what we sell. Our name is on the permit, the invoice, and the workmanship. If something isn’t right, you call us, not a 1-800 customer resolution queue. Ed Winslow owns the company, and Ed answers for the job.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Ojus
How much does impact window replacement cost in Ojus?
Impact window replacement in Ojus typically runs $45 to $95 per square foot installed, so a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch with 10 to 14 openings lands between $14,000 and $32,000. The biggest variables are brand selection, opening size, and whether any frames are non-standard and need custom fabrication rather than catalog sizing. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll give you a line-item quote you can actually read.
Do Ojus homes need Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact windows?
Yes, and it’s not optional. Ojus sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Miami-Dade permit reviewers require every replacement window and door to carry a Notice of Acceptance from the county’s product-approval program. That standard is stricter than Florida Product Approval, which is why impact units that pass in Broward County may not pass in Ojus. We only install NOA-approved products in Ojus, period.
Will the price change once the work starts?
No. We write fixed line-item pricing and stand behind it. If there’s hidden rot or unexpected structural work, we walk you through it before touching anything, and you approve any change in writing. Most Ojus retrofits don’t get change orders because we inspect the openings thoroughly during the estimate.
How long does a full-home impact window retrofit take in Ojus?
Once your units arrive, installation can move as fast as a single day for a typical ranch. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks from final measurement, especially for non-standard Ojus rough openings that need custom-manufactured impact units. We’ll give you a schedule at estimate and keep it updated by phone, not by “check the app.”
Does replacing windows in Ojus trigger a permit inspection even if windows aren’t part of the project?
Here’s the thing about Ojus: Miami-Dade permit reviewers routinely flag surviving jalousie windows during any renovation permit pull, even a kitchen remodel that doesn’t touch the windows. If the inspector spots jalousies, the county will require full impact-window replacement as a condition of pulling that unrelated permit. That’s a known pattern in Ojus, and it’s why a big share of our window-replacement calls start with someone pulling a permit for a bathroom or re-roof. If you’ve got a project coming up, call us early. We can tell you whether your existing windows will pass scrutiny or become a line item you didn’t plan for. Call (850) 998-3090 for a free read on your openings.

What Ojus 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
