AfterArched & Curved Windows in Westchester, FL
Arched and curved windows in Westchester, FL typically run between $450 and $1,800 per unit installed, depending on size, shape complexity, and the glazing package you choose. Most jobs are completed in a single day, and every custom unit we install carries our 36500-Day Done Right Promise on our Custom & Geometric Windows services. If you’ve got a Palladian arch over your front entry, a half-round above a bedroom window, or a full eyebrow curve in a Mediterranean-style home, we’ve handled that exact situation dozens of times in this neighborhood.
At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve been measuring, fabricating, and fitting custom arched and curved windows in Westchester and across South Florida since 2011. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. This isn’t a service we farmed out to a subcontractor or learned from a YouTube video. It’s one of the most detail-dependent installs in the window trade, and we treat it that way. Our work falls under our broader Custom & Geometric Windows in Westchester service, which covers the full range of non-rectangular openings that standard installers tend to decline or botch.
If you’re ready to talk specifics, call us at (863) 251-5864. A live person picks up every call, around the clock – no voicemail trees, no next-day callbacks.
When You Need Arched or Curved Windows
- Your existing arch unit is leaking or fogged between panes. Thermal seal failure is the most common reason Westchester homeowners call us about arched windows. Because arched frames flex differently than rectangular ones under Miami-Dade wind loads, the seal degrades faster in curved units – especially on west-facing elevations that take the afternoon sun directly.
- You’re replacing impact windows and the arch doesn’t have a matching IGU available off the shelf. Standard replacement glass doesn’t come pre-cut to a custom radius. If your contractor told you they “can make it work” without a proper template measurement, get a second opinion before any glass is ordered.
- You’re finishing a new addition or remodel and need a window that fits an architectural opening, not the other way around. In Westchester, a lot of the Mediterranean and Spanish-Colonial revival homes have original masonry arches built into the facade. The arch was there first; the window has to conform to it.
- Your current arch window isn’t impact-rated and you’re updating the rest of the home. Miami-Dade and Broward County require impact-rated glazing or approved shutters on all openings. An untreated arch over a front door is still a code liability – and an insurance liability.
- The frame around an existing arched unit is rotting, warped, or pulling away from the rough opening. Wooden sub-frames on older Westchester homes absorb moisture from summer humidity and afternoon storms. When the frame goes, the arch typically needs a full tear-out and re-installation, not just a glass swap.
- You want to add a decorative arched window to a flat wall where there isn’t one yet. This requires a structural assessment and, in most Westchester cases, a permit. We handle the permit paperwork so you don’t have to chase Miami-Dade’s building department on your own time.
Our Arched and Curved Windows Process
- On-site template measurement. We don’t quote arched windows over the phone with a rough dimension you’ve taped yourself. Every job starts with a technician at your home taking a physical template of the opening – radius, rise, chord width, and depth of the rough opening. Westchester homes built in the 1980s through early 2000s often have opening tolerances that drifted during original construction, and a template catches that before a unit is ordered. There’s no trip charge for this visit if you’re in our home county.
- Product selection and specification. Once we have your template, we match the opening to the right product line. For impact-rated arch units, we work with manufacturers like ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, both of which produce custom-radius frames in impact-laminated glass to Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) standards. We’ll walk you through frame color, glass tint, Low-E coating options, and whether a fixed or operable configuration makes sense for your space. Pricing is confirmed upfront before anything ships.
- Permit filing. Most arched window replacements in Westchester require a Miami-Dade building permit when the unit is impact-rated or when the rough opening is being modified. We file the permit, supply the product’s NOA documentation, and track the approval. You won’t be chasing an inspector or trying to decode permit language.
- Controlled removal of the existing unit. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians remove the old window carefully – particularly important in stucco exteriors where a careless tear-out can crack the surrounding finish. We protect the interior finish and manage debris on-site.
- Installation and sealing. The new arched unit is set, shimmed, and fastened to the rough opening per the product’s NOA installation instructions. We apply a continuous bead of Florida-approved flashing membrane and exterior sealant rated for South Florida UV and humidity. The interior is finished to match your existing trim profile.
- Final inspection and walkthrough. We call the inspection, meet the inspector, and do a final walkthrough with you before we leave. If anything isn’t exactly right, we fix it before the truck leaves your driveway – that’s what the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means in practice, not just on paper.
Arched and Curved Windows Pricing in Westchester
Arched and curved windows cost more than standard rectangular units of the same square footage. The curve adds fabrication time, requires custom glass cutting, and typically demands a purpose-built frame rather than an off-the-shelf profile. In Westchester’s market, here’s what drives the number:
| Unit Type | Typical Installed Price Range |
|---|---|
| Half-round or quarter-round, fixed, impact glass (small, up to 36″ chord) | $450 – $750 |
| Half-round or quarter-round, fixed, impact glass (medium, 36″-60″ chord) | $750 – $1,100 |
| Palladian arch (fixed center arch with flanking rectangular lites) | $1,100 – $2,200 assembled |
| Full eyebrow or elliptical arch, large opening | $1,400 – $2,800+ |
| Custom radius with operable sections | $1,600 – $3,200+ |
These ranges reflect labor and materials for a standard Westchester installation – single-story, accessible framing, no structural modifications. Add-ons that move the price up include: reframing a damaged or rotted rough opening, stucco patching after a larger tear-out, permit fees (typically $150-$400 depending on Miami-Dade’s current fee schedule), and upgraded glass packages like triple-coat Low-E or impact-rated laminated glass with a higher visible light transmittance rating.
If a repair on an existing arched unit runs over $200, our standing $40-off discount applies automatically – just mention it when you call. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10% discount on all services. These aren’t promotional codes with expiration dates; they’re standing commitments.
We don’t do ballpark quotes on arched windows. The radius, the condition of the existing frame, and the product specification matter too much for a number pulled from thin air to mean anything. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll schedule your free on-site estimate – upfront pricing confirmed before any order is placed.
Why Westchester Homes Specifically Benefit from Custom Arch Work
Westchester, FL sits in the unincorporated Miami-Dade corridor between Sweetwater and Olympia Heights. A significant portion of the housing stock was built between 1960 and the early 1990s, with a heavy lean toward Mediterranean and Spanish-Colonial styling – tile roofs, stucco exteriors, and arched architectural details that were standard spec at the time. Many of those original arch windows are now over 30 years old, pre-impact code, and leaking energy as fast as they can.
The afternoon heat load on west-facing arched windows in Westchester is genuinely severe. Units above the front entry face direct west sun during peak hours, and the convex exterior surface of a curved window absorbs heat differently than a flat pane. We regularly see older half-rounds in Westchester homes where the original single-pane glass has been painted over or covered with a sun-blocking film – both workarounds that signal the window is failing its job. Replacing those units with a properly specified Low-E impact unit from ECO Window Systems typically drops that room’s cooling load measurably.
We also see Westchester homeowners updating their homes ahead of sale. Miami-Dade requires all openings to be hurricane-protected at the point of sale or within an agreed timeline. Arched windows get overlooked in these conversations because buyers and sellers assume the arch is “decorative” and exempt. It isn’t. A proper impact-rated arch replacement handles that inspection item cleanly and usually increases appraised value more than its installed cost.
Beyond Westchester, we serve homeowners throughout South Florida with the same Geometric & Shaped Windows work – from Sweetwater to Doral to Kendall. Our roots are local and have been since Ed Winslow started this company in 2011.

FAQs – Arched and Curved Windows in Westchester
Can an arched window be made impact-rated for Miami-Dade compliance?
Yes – impact-rated arched windows are available and code-compliant for Miami-Dade. Manufacturers like ES Windows produce custom-radius frames with Oversized Openings and laminated impact glass that carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), satisfying both the building code and most homeowner insurance requirements for hurricane protection. The key is that the unit must be ordered to the exact template measurement of your opening, which is why we take a physical template before specifying any product. Call (863) 251-5864 for a free on-site measurement and quote.
How long does it take to get a custom arched window ordered and installed in Westchester?
From the time we confirm your product specification and permit, most custom arched units have a fabrication lead time of three to six weeks, depending on the manufacturer’s current production schedule and the complexity of your radius. Permit approval in Miami-Dade typically adds one to three weeks to the overall timeline. Installation itself is usually a single day once the unit arrives. We keep you updated at every step – you’re not left guessing when your crew is showing up. Call us at (863) 251-5864 and we can give you a more specific timeline based on current lead times.
Is it worth replacing an arched window that isn’t leaking yet?
Often, yes – particularly if the unit is pre-impact code and you’re updating other windows in the home at the same time. In Westchester’s climate, a single-pane arch above your front entry can account for a disproportionate share of your cooling load because of its solar exposure and the convex geometry that concentrates heat absorption. Replacing it with a Low-E impact unit typically pays back in reduced energy costs over a relatively short period, and it cleans up the insurance and code compliance picture at the same time. We can walk you through the cost-versus-benefit at your free estimate appointment.
Do you need a permit to replace an arched window in Westchester, FL?
In most cases, yes. Miami-Dade requires a permit for window replacements when the new unit is impact-rated, when the rough opening is being modified, or when the project value exceeds the county’s threshold for unpermitted work. Replacing a non-impact arch with an impact-rated unit almost always triggers the permit requirement. We handle all permit paperwork – filing, NOA documentation, and inspection scheduling – as part of our standard installation process. You don’t need to navigate Miami-Dade’s building portal yourself. For specifics on your address, call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll confirm what’s required before we start.
