Windows and doors in Miami are never just windows and doors. They’re the barrier between your family and a Category 4, the difference between an insurance renewal and a non-renewal notice, and a primary defense against salt air that eats hardware for breakfast. Winslow Windows & Doors installs impact-rated, Miami-Dade NOA-certified windows and doors across every Miami neighborhood, from Westchester to Coconut Grove. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. Call (850) 998-3090 and a live person answers, day or night.

Why Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Most window companies treat Miami like any other market. We don’t, because Miami isn’t any other market. It’s the only city in the continental U.S. where a product legal in Tampa will fail rough inspection the same day it’s installed here. We build every quote around Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance standard, not the weaker statewide Florida Product Approval. That distinction alone has saved our customers in Kendall and Little Havana from buying windows they’d have to rip out before the inspector left the driveway.
Homeowners in Coral Gables, Shenandoah, and Wynwood call us because we answer the phone with a person, not a menu. Because every technician who shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and known to us by name before the truck parks. Because our Done Right Promise means exactly what it says: if it’s not done right, we make it right – period. That’s not marketing language. It’s Ed Winslow’s word, and his license number and address are published on every page of this site.
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows – brands whose products are engineered specifically for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone Miami sits inside. When you call Winslow, you’re not getting a ticket number from a national chain. You’re getting a neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. – and someone will actually answer.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami
Impact Windows
The flagship line for Miami. Every PGT, CGI, and ES Windows unit we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA and design pressures matched to your specific opening – never a rating above +/-100, because anything higher is not only false, it’s dangerous. Laminated impact glass holds its position even when debris slams into it at 100 mph.

Window Installation
Your frame material, anchor system, and stucco return all depend on the construction type – and Miami’s 1950s-1970s CBS homes in Little Havana and West Miami need masonry-set anchors, not the wood-frame flange installs common in other states. We measure the rough opening, not the old window, so the new unit fits the hole that exists, not the hole somebody guessed at.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami.
Window Replacement
If your Miami home still has original jalousie windows, your insurer already knows – and they’re likely charging you for the risk or preparing to drop you. Replacement with NOA-certified impact units fixes the code violation, the insurance flag, and the comfort problem all at once. We remove every old unit, repair any water damage in the rough opening, and reset the waterproofing envelope before the new window goes in.

Door Installation
Entry doors in Miami take more punishment than windows do – they’re the first surface hit by driving rain, the first hardware to corrode in salt air, and the most common point of failure in a storm. We install Therma-Tru and impact-rated entry doors with marine-grade hardware that Miami’s humidity can’t eat. Learn more about our Miami Door Installation services.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
A sliding glass door is the largest opening in your home, which means it carries the highest wind-load in a hurricane. We install Miami Sliding Glass & Patio Doors from PGT and CGI that carry Miami-Dade NOA certifications at the exact size and configuration of your opening – because an approval for a 6-foot panel doesn’t cover an 8-foot panel, and inspectors in this county check.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Miami cooling bills are brutal from May to October, and single-pane glass means your A/C works harder than it needs to. Our Energy-Efficient Windows in Miami cut heat gain enough to lower cooling costs by 20-30% in most CBS homes, and the federal 25C credit covers 30% of the product cost up to $600 annually on qualifying units.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the weakest structural point on the house in a hurricane. If it fails, the roof goes next. We install Impact Garage Doors in Miami that carry Miami-Dade NOA approvals and are engineered to hold against the same design pressures as your windows – because in Miami, the garage door isn’t a convenience item, it’s structural protection.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arches, half-rounds, trapezoids, circles – custom shapes that give Miami homes from Morningside to Shenandoah their character. We fabricate to your exact rough opening and make sure every custom unit still carries the NOA sticker your inspector needs to see. Custom shape, same HVHZ standard.
Roof Repair
When a Miami thunderstorm peels shingles or a branch punctures a section of decking, we patch, seal, and repair the area so it’s ready for the next storm – not just this afternoon’s rain. Winslow is a full exterior-protection company, which means your roofer and your window installer are the same accountable owner: Ed.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A Miami roof has to do three jobs: hold in a hurricane, breathe in 90% humidity, and survive UV that degrades most underlayments within a decade. We install full replacement roofs built to Miami-Dade code, with all permits pulled and every inspection passed. No shortcuts on decking, no skimping on underlayment.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Concrete and clay tile dominate Coral Gables and much of Miami-Dade for a reason: they take the sun and salt without cracking. Shingle and metal each have their place depending on slope, budget, and insurance requirements. We help you pick the material that actually fits your home – not just the one we have in stock.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami
Crews and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, so response is local – not dispatched from another county. We’re out in these neighborhoods every week:
- Little Havana
- Kendall
- Coral Gables
- Westchester
- Wynwood
Typical response time across Miami is same-day for repairs, and we carry a no-trip-charge policy inside the county – if we come out and you don’t hire us, you owe nothing for the visit.
Why Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami’s dominant housing stock is concrete block (CBS) from the 1950s-1970s, and the rough openings are masonry-set – not wood-framed. That means a window flange installation common in Orlando or Atlanta simply won’t work here. The anchors have to be masonry, the stucco return has to be rebuilt after install, and the waterproofing detailing has to account for the way concrete breathes in 90% humidity. Mistake any of that, and you’ll get water intrusion inside the wall cavity that shows up as paint bubbling two years later.
The climate punishes everything else too. Sustained Atlantic salt air corrodes uncoated aluminum frames within a few years. Non-impact glazing seals break down under UV and heat, and hardware rusts fast in the marine environment. We specify marine-grade hardware and thermally broken or impact-rated frames on Miami jobs because it’s a longevity decision, not an upsell. Install the wrong material here, and you’ll be replacing the same window twice in the time one quality unit should last.
A large share of pre-Andrew CBS homes in Little Havana, Hialeah, and West Miami still have original jalousie windows. Those louvered glass slats aren’t just dated – they’re entirely non-compliant with HVHZ code and a known insurance-policy flag. We replace more jalousies in Miami than any other window type, and every homeowner who does it gets two wins: code compliance and a windstorm premium reduction.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami
What you’ll pay depends on opening size, frame material, and glass package, but here’s where honest Miami pricing typically falls:
- Impact window (single opening, NOA-certified): $900 – $2,100 installed per unit
- Standard NOA-certified replacement (non-impact): $550 – $1,100 installed per unit
- Impact entry door (NOA-certified): $2,800 – $6,500 installed
- Impact sliding glass door (NOA-certified): $4,500 – $9,500 installed depending on panel count and width
- Jalousie-to-impact window conversion: $1,100 – $2,400 per opening including stucco return
- Impact garage door (NOA-certified): $3,000 – $7,800 installed depending on size and wind rating
Every quote is a written, line-item estimate. No change orders, no surprises on the invoice. If you’ve got a written estimate from another Miami contractor, we’ll give you a free second opinion – and if your repair is over $200, take $40 off automatically.
Florida Pays Miami Homeowners Back
Miami homeowners get one of the strongest incentives stacks in the country when they upgrade to impact-rated windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax entirely – that’s an instant 6-7% off the product cost for Miami-Dade buyers. The federal 25C energy credit adds another 30% of product cost back, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), most Miami carriers cut the windstorm portion of your premium by roughly 25%. Final numbers depend on your specific insurer and the inspector’s findings, but the direction is clear: this upgrade pays for itself over time.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Actually Makes Sense in Miami
Shutters work – if you’re home, if the storm isn’t too strong, if you can physically lift and mount the panels, and if you have a place to store them. Impact windows work whether you’re home or not, because they’re always installed, always protecting. They don’t need to be deployed, they don’t rust in the garage, and they don’t require you to be on a ladder in 40 mph wind with a drill in your hand. Most Miami homeowners who price both options realize the total installed cost of impact windows lands close to shutters on large homes once you factor in the sales-tax exemption, the insurance credit, and the fact that impact windows add resale value shutters never will. Impact-rated. Energy-certified. Done right the first time – or we come back.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami
Most Miami impact window replacements run $900 to $2,100 per opening installed, depending on size, frame material, and whether we’re reusing the existing stucco return or rebuilding it. Sliding glass doors and custom shapes run higher. Every quote is written and line-itemed before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Call (850) 998-3090 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is a product-approval document proving that a specific window or door configuration has been tested and approved for use inside Miami’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Yes, your window needs one – every window and door installed in Miami-Dade County must carry an NOA, not just a Florida Product Approval. Inspectors here reject non-NOA units at rough inspection routinely, even when they pass standard impact standards elsewhere. We only install NOA-certified units from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows.
Miami-Dade allows single-opening replacement. You don’t have to replace every window at once. We’ll replace the one that failed, match the frame and glass to your existing units as closely as possible, and document the NOA on the permit for that specific opening. Many Miami owners who replace one jalousie end up scheduling the rest once they see the difference in comfort and their insurance quote.
No. Our quotes are fixed. The only time we revise a number is if we open up a wall and find hidden damage that changes the scope – and then we stop, show you what we found, and get your written approval before doing anything. We don’t do change orders. We don’t do “while we’re here” add-ons. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice. Call (850) 998-3090 to see the difference.
Yes. Every window, door, and garage door we install in Miami-Dade is permitted, inspected, and documented with the NOA submitted to the building department. We don’t do unpermitted work and we don’t ask you to pull the permit yourself. It’s the only way the work is legal, the inspection passes, and the insurance credit applies.
Once your units arrive on site, most standard openings are installed in a single day. Custom and geometric windows run longer because the fabrication through PGT or CGI takes 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. We schedule around the fabrication timeline and keep you posted on exact arrival dates, so you’re never guessing. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll map out the realistic timeline for your specific job.

What 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
