Why Westchester Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his name on the door because he planned to stand behind the work. That’s not marketing language. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. Period. On streets like SW 16th Street and Coral Way, neighbors tell neighbors when a contractor actually shows up, keeps the price, and answers the phone afterward. That’s how we’ve earned the trust of Westchester families from Fontainebleau Estates to Tamiami Terrace.
Every technician who pulls up to your home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s at your door before they ring the bell. Upfront pricing comes in writing, with no change orders hiding in the fine print. And because we’re your neighbors down the road in Miami, we understand what Westchester’s housing stock demands: masonry anchoring, stucco repair, and impact units with Miami-Dade product approval. No national chain sends a crew with that level of local knowledge.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westchester
We’re a full exterior-protection company, which means one call covers windows, doors, and roofing. Here’s what Westchester homeowners ask us for most:
Impact Windows
Impact windows are our flagship line in Westchester because this is Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. We install laminated impact glass from PGT, CGI, and other authorized brands, every unit carrying Florida Product Approval and Miami-Dade NOA documentation matched to each opening’s design pressure. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Westchester.
Window Installation
Whether you’re building a new addition off SW 87th Avenue or replacing a failed unit in a 1960s CBS ranch, we handle the full scope: masonry anchoring, pressure-treated bucks, and clean stucco patch work. Window Installation in Westchester starts with a free in-home assessment and a written line-item quote.
Window Replacement
Original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousie louvers are the most common call we get. Replacing them with energy-efficient, impact-rated units improves security, insurance eligibility, and comfort in one job. Explore Window Replacement in Westchester for what’s involved and what it costs.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, Therma-Tru fiberglass units, and code-compliant impact doors all fall under our door installation work. A properly anchored door matters just as much as the windows when wind pressure hits the envelope. Ask about our door installation services during your free estimate.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Westchester’s ranch homes often open to the backyard through a large slider, and that’s frequently the weakest point in the house during a storm. We install impact-rated sliding glass and patio doors matched to the opening’s design pressure, with smooth operation that holds up to salt air and humidity.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and insulated frames cut cooling costs in Westchester’s year-round heat. Our energy-efficient window options, including ViewLux and Mr-Glass lines, help keep rooms cooler while blocking UV that fades furniture and floors near big west-facing windows.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are often overlooked in hurricane prep, but a breached garage door can pressurize the whole house and lift the roof. We install impact garage doors engineered for Miami-Dade wind loads.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Circle tops, arches, angled bays: Westchester’s mid-century homes sometimes feature window shapes that off-the-shelf units can’t match. We build custom and geometric windows to spec, fabricated for your exact rough opening and finished with proper flashing.
Roof Repair
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing repairs are part of the same envelope-protection goal. If water is getting in, windows aren’t the only suspect. We inspect the whole exterior and fix what’s actually failing.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Complete roof replacement in Westchester means handling permits, inspections, and the right materials for Miami-Dade’s wind rules. No shortcuts, no subcontracted crews you’ve never met.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
From barrel tile on classic Florida ranches to standing-seam metal on modern additions, we install all three major roofing types and stand behind every one with the same Done Right Promise.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westchester
Our crews work throughout Westchester on a regular basis, and we know the streets, the setbacks, and the permit quirks from Tropical Park to Bird Road. Typical arrival for an estimate is scheduled around your availability, usually within a day or two of your call.

Why Westchester’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westchester sits fully inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the continental United States. That’s not a marketing line; it changes what products can legally go into your walls. Every window and door replacement in Westchester must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval layer that doesn’t exist just 20 miles north in Broward. Skip that requirement and the county fails your inspection, your insurer flags your policy, or both.
Then there’s the housing stock itself. Westchester is dense with 1950s-1970s concrete-block-and-stucco ranch homes, many still wearing original louvered jalousie windows or thin aluminum sliders. Those units have zero impact resistance and no real weather seal, which is why insurers now flag them for surcharges or policy cancellation. Retrofitting CBS openings for impact glass requires masonry anchoring and careful stucco patch work, steps unnecessary in wood-frame construction elsewhere. Add Miami-Dade’s salt-laden air accelerating frame corrosion within a decade, and the need for quality installation becomes obvious. This is code-and-insurance-driven work, not a simple upgrade.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Westchester
Honest numbers upfront: a single impact window in Westchester typically runs $900 to $1,800 installed, depending on size, design pressure, and frame material. A standard impact entry door falls between $1,800 and $4,000. Impact sliding glass doors start around $3,500 and climb with width and glass package. Jalousie-to-impact conversions across a whole ranch home usually land between $12,000 and $25,000, which includes anchoring, stucco work, and permit sign-off. We give every customer a written line-item quote before work begins, and the number doesn’t move once you approve it. No change orders. Seniors and veterans always get 10% off. Any repair over $200 gets $40 off. And if you already have a written estimate from another contractor, bring it in for a free second opinion.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Westchester Homeowners Need to Know
Some Westchester homeowners wonder whether shutters are enough. Here’s the comparison that matters: shutters only protect your home when someone is there to hang them, and they do nothing for energy efficiency, noise reduction, or everyday security. Impact windows protect your house 24/7, all year, with no panels to find, carry, or mount in a storm. They also qualify for insurance wind-mitigation credits that shutters don’t always earn. We don’t sell shutters, but we’ll happily explain the difference so you can decide with full information.
How the Installation Process Works in Westchester
It starts with a phone call to (863) 251-5864. A live person answers, asks about your home and what you’re seeing, and schedules a free in-home estimate. We measure every opening, check the condition of the existing frames, and identify any masonry or stucco work the job will require. Within a few days, you get a written line-item quote with product specifications, design pressure ratings, and the permit path spelled out.
Once you approve, we order your units. Custom fabrication from PGT, CGI, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, ViewLux, or our other authorized brands typically runs 4 to 6 weeks. When the units arrive, installation moves fast, often as fast as a single day for straightforward replacements. Your job won’t start until everything is on site, so you’re never living with an open wall while waiting on glass.
Before we leave, we walk the job with you, confirm every window or door operates correctly, and make sure the site is clean. Your Done Right Promise starts the day we finish, and Ed’s name is on the work.
Florida Pays Westchester Homeowners Back
If you’re on the fence about impact windows, the incentives stack in your favor. 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, which saves real money on a whole-house job. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many Westchester homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25%, depending on the carrier. We can’t guarantee any program’s approval or dollar amount, but we’ll point you to what applies and help with the paperwork trail.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westchester
Impact window replacement in Westchester typically runs $900 to $1,800 per window installed, with whole-house jalousie-to-impact conversions landing between $12,000 and $25,000. Variables include opening size, design pressure rating, frame material, and how much stucco repair the existing CBS openings need. Call (863) 251-5864 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Yes. Westchester sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Miami-Dade County requires every replacement window and door to carry a Notice of Acceptance product approval. A Florida Product Approval from a Broward-only supplier without the Miami-Dade NOA won’t pass inspection here. We pull permits on every job and only install units approved for Westchester’s wind-load requirements.
Replacing original jalousie windows with impact units is the single most common job we do in Westchester. The CBS openings need masonry anchoring and pressure-treated bucks, and the surrounding stucco gets patched to match. We handle the full scope, from permit to paint-ready finish. Schedule your free estimate and we’ll confirm the exact scope for your home.
No. We quote a written line-item price before you sign anything, and that number holds unless you change the scope yourself. If we discover hidden damage behind the old frame, we show you, explain it, and get approval before adding anything. No surprise invoices at the end.
Installation itself often finishes in a single day once your custom units arrive, but fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks. We don’t tear out your old windows until the new ones are physically on site, so you’re never living with open openings. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll map out a realistic timeline for your specific job.

What Westchester Customers Say
"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
- Henrietta Pemberton"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"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
