What Our Impact Windows Service Includes
Every impact window project we take on in Westchester starts the same way: we listen, we measure, we walk you through options that make sense for your home and your budget, and we hand you a written estimate that covers the entire scope. Whether you’re replacing one blown-out bedroom window or doing the whole house before hurricane season, you get the same Winslow standard.
Impact Window Installation
Full installation covers removal of your existing windows, inspection of the rough opening and surrounding framing, and precise setting of new impact-rated units with proper anchoring that meets Miami-Dade County requirements. We install PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems products, among the other brands in our authorized lineup. Your opening gets flashed, sealed, and trimmed correctly the first time, because Ed’s name is on the door and on the job.
Impact Window Replacement
If your current impact windows are fogging between panes, leaking during heavy rain, or have damaged frames or hardware, replacement is often smarter than patchwork repair. We’ll match the architectural style of your Westchester home, whether that’s a mid-century rancher off Bird Road or a newer build in the neighborhoods west of the Palmetto. We also install Coral Gables Impact Windows for homes in that area. We handle the full replacement including disposal of the old units and a final walk-through with you before we call the job done.
Impact Window Repair
Not every issue requires a full replacement. Failed seals, worn rollers, broken latches, and weatherstripping that’s let go can often be addressed with repair. We stock OEM and compatible parts for the brands we service, which means faster turnaround than waiting on a regional distributor. If a repair won’t genuinely fix the problem, we’ll tell you that plainly and show you why before recommending replacement.
Sliding Glass & Patio Door Protection
Your patio door is typically the largest glass surface on your home, which makes it the most vulnerable point during a wind event. We install impact-rated sliding glass doors and French patio doors with the same Miami-Dade approved products we use on windows. Proper track sealing, reinforced frames, and laminated glass mean the difference between a door that flexes and a door that fails. We inspect every door opening for plumb and square before installation, because a quarter-inch out of level today becomes a binding track and a broken seal in two years.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows
We’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two names you’ll see most often on impact window specifications across South Florida. PGT’s WinGuard and CGI’s Sentinel lines are workhorses here in Westchester because they’re engineered specifically for our wind zone and tested against Miami-Dade County’s product approval standards. We’ve installed hundreds of PGT openings over the last decade and know their frame profiles, anchoring requirements, and hardware inside and out.
We also work extensively with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for homeowners who want impact protection without sacrificing sightlines or architectural character. ES Windows builds a thinner-profile aluminum frame that suits mid-century and modern homes beautifully, while ECO Window Systems offers strong value on large-format openings and custom geometry. Whether you have one of these brands already or you’re weighing options for a new installation, we’ll give you honest guidance on what performs, what lasts, and what’s worth the money.
Signs You Need Impact Windows Right Now
- Cracks or chips in existing glass. Even a small chip compromises the structural integrity of the entire lite. In Westchester’s summer heat and humidity, thermal stress can turn a chip into a full crack in a matter of weeks. If you can catch your fingernail on the damage, it’s time to replace.
- Windows that rattle or whistle during storms. A properly installed impact window should feel solid when wind gusts hit 40 or 50 mph. If you hear whistling or feel air movement around the frame, your seals or weatherstripping have failed. That’s water intrusion waiting to happen.
- You can’t open or close windows without a fight. Frames that sag, sashes that bind, and cranks that skip mean wear and misalignment. Beyond the frustration, a window that won’t close fully is a security and weatherproofing problem. We see this often in older Westchester homes with original aluminum frames from the 1960s and 70s.
- Condensation or fogging between glass panes. Failed insulating glass units lose their seal and let moisture inside. You can’t clean it away because it’s trapped between the lites. It’s not just cosmetic; the window’s energy performance and impact rating are both compromised.
- Your windows are original to a home built before 1994. Pre-Hurricane Andrew construction standards didn’t require impact-rated openings. If your house predates the modern Florida Building Code, those windows would not pass today’s wind-load requirements. Upgrading now means you’re protected before the next storm tracks toward the Gulf coast.
Our Impact Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call, a live person answers. Day or night, when you call (863) 251-5864, you speak with a real Winslow team member. We schedule a site visit at a time that works for you, and there’s no trip charge if you’re inside our home county.
- 2
We measure and assess. Ed or one of our background-checked, uniformed technicians comes to your Westchester home, measures every opening precisely, and evaluates the condition of your existing frames, flashing, and surrounding structure. We’ll also check for signs of water intrusion or frame rot that would need addressing before installation.
- 3
You get a written, line-item estimate. Within a day or two, you’ll have a detailed scope of work with exact product specifications, quantities, and pricing. We honor our written numbers. If you already have an estimate from another contractor, bring it to us for a free second opinion. We’ll review it honestly and tell you if it’s fair, inflated, or missing critical scope.
- 4
Installation day: on time, done right. Our crew arrives in uniform, covers your floors and furniture, and works systematically through each opening. We use laser levels and moisture meters to verify every frame is set true and every seal is tight. You’ll know exactly who is in your home, and they’ll treat it like their own.
- 5
Final walk-through and the 36500-Day Promise. We inspect every window with you before we leave. If anything isn’t right, we fix it before we close out the job. And if something fails later that’s on us, you’re covered. Ed’s name is on every installation, and our 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back. No fine print, no runaround.
How Much Does Impact Windows Cost in Westchester?
A typical single-hung impact window in Westchester runs $950 to $1,800 installed, while a large fixed or sliding impact window can reach $2,400 to $3,200 per opening. Sliding glass patio doors typically range from $4,500 to $9,000 depending on width and product line. A straightforward full-home replacement for a three-bedroom Westchester house usually lands between $16,000 and $32,000 before any available discounts.
What moves the price: window size and quantity, frame material (aluminum vs. vinyl), the brand and series you choose, and whether your home requires any structural adjustments to meet current anchoring requirements. Homes built before the modern Florida Building Code sometimes need new bucks, shims, or opening modifications, which adds cost. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, line-item estimate that breaks out product, labor, and any structural work separately. That’s exactly what we provide, with no trip charge inside our home county and a free second opinion on any competitor’s written estimate. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10% discount on every job, and any repair over $200 gets $40 off, no expiration.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows in Westchester
Impact windows are laminated glass units tested to withstand wind-borne debris and positive and negative wind pressures specified in the Florida Building Code. They’re built with a durable interlayer, typically between two panes of glass, that holds the glass together even if it shatters. Beyond storm protection, they provide year-round security, UV reduction, and significant noise dampening. We’ll help you choose products that meet the exact Miami-Dade County approvals required for Westchester.
Most single-story Westchester homes are completed in two to three days, while larger or two-story homes can take up to five days.
