AfterTrusted Window Replacement for Westchester Homeowners
Window replacement in Westchester, FL typically runs $450-$1,400 per window installed, depending on frame material, glass package, and whether you need a full-frame tear-out or an insert. Most single-family homes in the Westchester area fall between $4,500 and $18,000 for a complete job, and we’re usually scheduling within 7-10 days of your free estimate. Call (863) 251-5864 and you’ll speak to a real person, not a call center.
Ed Winslow founded Winslow Windows & Doors in 2011, and he’s been replacing windows in Westchester, Miami, and Coral Gables ever since. We’re the local crew that shows up on time, leaves the job site cleaner than we found it, and stands behind every install with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not marketing language. It’s Ed’s word, and his name is on the business.
Before you pay a national chain to swap your windows, read this page. You’ll learn what a real replacement job includes, what it costs in Westchester right now, and how to avoid the pricing games that plague this industry.
What Our Window Replacement Service Includes
Window replacement isn’t one thing, and we don’t treat it that way. Some homes need a full surgical tear-out. Others just need the sash and glass swapped while the original frame stays put. Here’s exactly what we do in Westchester.
Full Frame Replacement
A Full Frame Replacement means we remove the entire existing window down to the rough opening, inspect the studs and header for rot or termite damage, install the new window with new flashing and insulation, and rebuild the interior and exterior trim. This is the right move when your frames are water-damaged, the original windows were installed poorly, or you want to change the size or shape of the opening. In Westchester homes built in the 1960s and 70s, we regularly find hidden water intrusion around the original frames that inserts would never catch. Ed’s crew repairs any framing issues before the new window goes in, so you’re not sealing rot behind a fresh install.
Insert Window Replacement
An Insert Window Replacement, sometimes called a pocket replacement, fits into your existing frame when the frame itself is still square, dry, and structurally sound. We measure each opening precisely, order windows sized to within an eighth of an inch, and install them with new weatherstripping and insulation to eliminate drafts. Inserts cost less than full-frame jobs because we’re not rebuilding the opening, and most Westchester homes with vinyl or aluminum frames from the last 25 years are good candidates. We’ll tell you honestly if your frames aren’t worth saving, because putting a new insert into a failing frame is money wasted.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl Replacement Windows are the most popular window material in Westchester for good reason: they handle South Florida humidity without warping or corroding, never need painting, and deliver solid thermal performance for the price. We install vinyl windows in single-hung, double-hung, casement, and horizontal roller configurations. The quality difference comes down to the extrusion thickness, glass package, and hardware, and we spec every order for our actual climate, not a national average. Low-E glass and argon fill are standard on our vinyl installs because in Westchester, the sun is doing real work against your glass eleven months of the year.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
If your electric bill runs high from June through October, your windows are part of the problem. An Energy-Efficient Upgrade can help. We install Energy Star certified windows with insulated frames, low-E coatings, and double-pane construction that cut solar heat gain and keep your AC from running flat out. Many Westchester homeowners see a 15-25% reduction in cooling costs after replacing older single-pane aluminum windows. We’ll help you evaluate glass packages side by side so you know exactly what you’re paying for, and every install includes a written estimate with no change orders after the job starts.
Window Maintenance & Care
Window replacement spends your money well, but only if the windows get basic care after install. We show every homeowner how to clean the tracks, check the weatherstripping, and spot early signs of seal failure before they become a bigger problem. Winslow Windows & Doors also handles maintenance on existing windows, including re-caulking, track cleaning, and hardware adjustments. Call us for the simple stuff too. We’d rather catch a small issue early than replace a water-damaged frame later.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement
We’ve installed and serviced hundreds of Therma-Tru units across Miami-Dade, and our crews know their frame profiles and hardware inside and out. Therma-Tru builds a solid door and window line, and when something’s off with the fit or the glazing, we don’t guess. We know the product.
ES Windows and ECO Window Systems both make high-end aluminum and impact-rated lines that we specify regularly for Westchester homes. Aluminum demands precise flashing and anchoring, especially in coastal-adjacent zip codes where the wind-driven rain finds every gap. Whether you have Mr-Glass, one of our other authorized lines, or a brand we didn’t install, we can service and replace it. We’ve seen nearly every window that’s been sold in South Florida in the last 40 years.
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That matters because factory-authorized means we have direct access to technical support, OEM parts, and the latest installation specs from the people who built your windows. Big-box installers don’t always have that. We do.
Whether you have a premium European-style system or an older builder-grade vinyl, we can help. If we can’t source the right replacement part, we’ll tell you up front before you spend a dollar.
Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now
- You can feel a draft with the window closed. Stand near your windows on a windy day. If air moves around the edges, your weatherstripping is shot or the frame is out of square. That draft is your AC bill leaving the house, and in Westchester’s humidity, it’s also pulling moisture into the walls.
- Condensation or fog appears between the panes. That’s a failed seal. The insulating gas escaped, the glass is no longer doing its thermal job, and the only real fix is replacement. Every month you wait, the window gets worse and the mold risk inside the wall cavity climbs.
- The window sticks, won’t lock, or won’t stay open. Warped frames, failed balance springs, or shifted openings make a window a security liability, not a convenience. A window that won’t lock is an open invitation. In Westchester, where homes sit close together, you want every opening secured.
- Your energy bills climb every summer. Single-pane windows or aluminum frames from the 1980s turn your home into a greenhouse from noon to six. If your July bill keeps setting records, your windows are working against your AC, and replacement pays for itself faster than most people expect.
- Visible rot, peeling paint, or soft wood around the frame. Water has been getting in for a while. Vinyl and aluminum won’t rot, but the wood framing behind them will, and that’s a structural problem. Get it looked at before a $600 window replacement turns into a $6,000 framing repair.
If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait for the next storm season. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll send a technician out for a free inspection with no trip charge inside our home county.
Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call, a person answers. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We listen to what’s happening with your windows, ask a few questions, and schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you. No call centers, no voicemail tag, no waiting until “next business day.”
- 2
We measure and inspect every opening. A uniformed, background-checked technician arrives on time and goes window by window. We check the frame, the glass, the flashing, and the surrounding wall for moisture. This is where we catch the problems other companies skip until the job is underway.
- 3
You get a written, line-item estimate. No vague numbers, no verbal ballparks you can’t hold us to. Every window, every material, every labor cost is itemized. The price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders, no “unexpected complications” upcharge games.
- 4
We order your windows and schedule the install. Once you approve the estimate, we place the order with our manufacturer partners and lock in an install date. Our crews show up on time, protect your floors and furniture, and work clean. Most full-house replacements finish in 1-3 days depending on the window count.
- 5
We walk the job with you before we leave. Ed or a senior crew lead goes room by room with you, opens and locks every window, and answers any question you have. If anything isn’t right, it gets fixed before we pull out of your driveway. And if something fails years later, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise still applies. That’s 100 years of accountability.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Westchester?
A typical vinyl insert replacement in Westchester runs $450-$800 per window. Full-frame replacements run $700-$1,400 per window because of the added labor, framing repairs, and new trim work. A three-bedroom home with 10-14 windows usually lands between $5,500 and $14,000 total. Impact-rated windows push toward the high end, as do custom sizes and geometric shapes.
What actually moves the price: the window material (vinyl, aluminum, or premium materials), the glass package (standard double-pane vs. impact-rated vs. high-performance low-E), the opening count and sizes, and whether you need full-frame versus insert. Homes in Coral Gables and parts of Westchester with older casement windows often need more prep work than newer track homes, and that shows up in the labor line.
The biggest mistake homeowners make is accepting a vague estimate that bundles everything into one number. You can’t compare quotes when you can’t see what’s included. Our written estimates break down every line item, and we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another company. Bring us the competitor’s quote and we’ll go through it with you line by line, no charge.
Seniors and veterans always save 10%, and we offer $40 off any repair over $200. Those offers are permanent. They don’t expire.
