AfterCasement Windows in Westchester, FL
Casement windows in Westchester, FL typically run between $350 and $900 per window installed, depending on size, glass package, and whether impact-rated glazing is required. Most jobs are scheduled and completed within a week of the free estimate, and every installation is backed by Winslow’s 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If you want an exact number for your home, call (863) 251-5864 – a real person picks up, any time of day.
Casement windows are hinged on one side and swing outward with a hand crank, giving you full-width ventilation and one of the tightest seals available in a residential window. In Westchester’s humid, storm-active climate, that combination matters. A traditional double-hung window loses a chunk of its opening to sashes; a casement opens completely, pulls in the afternoon cross-breeze off the Florida coastal flatlands, and then locks down tight enough to hold a solid impact rating when a tropical system rolls through. That’s why we see a lot of Westchester homeowners switching to casements during full-room remodels, kitchen renovations above the sink, and any room where ventilation matters as much as the view-similar to how Garden Windows brighten kitchen spaces.
At Winslow Windows & Doors, Ed Winslow has led every installation project since we opened in 2011. We’re not a call center routing your job to a subcontractor you’ve never met. Our technicians are background-checked, arrive in uniform, and Ed’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. For casement window work specifically in Westchester, we install products from brands like ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, both of which offer Florida-code-compliant impact casements built for exactly the conditions homes here face.

When You Need Casement Windows
Not every situation calls for casements, but there are scenarios where they’re clearly the right call. Here’s when Westchester homeowners typically reach out to us about them:
- Your existing windows won’t seal properly against humidity. Westchester sits in Miami-Dade County’s inland heat corridor, and older aluminum sliders or single-pane double-hungs often let humid air infiltrate at the frame joints. Casements use a compression seal when cranked shut – one continuous gasket pressed against the frame – which outperforms the brush or pile weatherstripping on most sliders.
- You’re renovating a kitchen or bathroom and need ventilation above a fixture. The most common casement installation we do in Westchester is above a kitchen sink or a bathroom vanity where you can’t reach a double-hung’s upper sash. A casement crank works easily from below.
- Your home needs to meet current Miami-Dade impact requirements. If you’re pulling a permit for an addition or a full replacement, Miami-Dade NOA-approved impact casements may be required. ES Windows and ECO Window Systems both carry the relevant approvals for Westchester installations.
- You want maximum airflow in a bedroom or living room facing the prevailing breeze. Casements act almost like a scoop – angled slightly open, they redirect moving air directly into the room. For homes in areas of Westchester near open lots or parks, this makes a real difference in months when you’d rather not run the AC.
- Your current windows are single-pane and your FPL bill shows it. Single-pane aluminum casements from the 1980s and 90s are still common in older Westchester homes. Replacing them with a dual-pane, low-E casement cuts solar heat gain significantly – often noticeably within the first billing cycle after installation.
- You’re doing a room addition or sunroom and want a specific look. Casements read as more architectural than sliders in custom spaces. We work with homeowners in Westchester doing sunroom builds or garage conversions where the window choice becomes part of the overall design.
Our Casement Windows Process
We keep the process straightforward. No sales pressure, no bait-and-switch on product specs, no disappearing act after the deposit clears. Here’s exactly how our Window Installation services work for casement windows in Westchester:
- Free in-home estimate and measurement. Ed or one of our trained estimators comes to your Westchester home, measures every opening, checks the rough frame condition, and talks through your priorities – ventilation, impact rating, glass tint, energy performance, or all of the above. There’s no trip charge inside our home county, and the estimate is always free. We’ll quote you a firm number on the spot, not a range that expands later.
- Product selection and permit coordination. We help you choose the right casement window for your specific opening and local code requirements. For Miami-Dade County, impact-rated products are often non-negotiable on new installations, and we handle the permit application so you don’t have to navigate the county building portal yourself.
- Scheduling and order confirmation. Once you approve the quote, we place the order with the manufacturer – typically ES Windows or ECO Window Systems for casement work – and lock in your install date. We give you a real window of time, not a “sometime Tuesday” window that has you waiting all day.
- Professional removal of existing windows. Our uniformed, background-checked technicians remove your old windows carefully, check the rough opening for rot, water damage, or out-of-square framing, and address any issues before the new unit goes in. In Westchester, we occasionally find water intrusion behind older aluminum frames, especially on the west-facing elevations that take the afternoon sun and rain – we flag it and fix it rather than cover it up.
- Installation, sealing, and hardware adjustment. The new casement is set, shimmed, anchored, and sealed with the appropriate weatherproofing for Florida’s humidity and wind exposure. The crank hardware is adjusted so the window opens smoothly and locks with firm, even compression. We test every window before we pack up.
- Cleanup, inspection, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. We haul away the old windows, clean the work area, and walk you through operation and maintenance of the new casements before we leave. The job is covered by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise – if anything isn’t right, we come back and make it right, no runaround.
Casement Windows Pricing in Westchester
Casement window installation in Westchester costs between $350 and $900 per window for most residential projects, though larger or custom-shaped units can run higher. Here’s a cleaner breakdown of what drives the number:
| Window Type / Scenario | Typical Installed Price Range |
|---|---|
| Standard single casement, dual-pane, non-impact | $350 – $520 |
| Standard single casement, dual-pane, impact-rated | $480 – $700 |
| Larger casement (over 24″ wide), impact-rated | $620 – $900 |
| French casement (double-sash, no center post) | $750 – $1,100 |
| Rough opening repair needed before installation | Add $75 – $250 depending on scope |
A few factors specific to Westchester homes that affect where your project lands on that range:
- Impact vs. non-impact glass. Miami-Dade County has some of the strictest wind-load requirements in the country. Many Westchester homeowners choose impact casements even when not strictly required by permit, because it eliminates the need for storm shutters on those openings and can reduce homeowner’s insurance premiums.
- Frame condition. Older CBS (concrete block structure) homes in Westchester sometimes have window bucks that have shifted or taken on moisture over decades. If we find that during measurement, we’ll tell you upfront and include a repair estimate before any work begins.
- Number of windows ordered. Multi-window orders on the same job cost less per unit than single-window replacements, because mobilization and permit costs spread across more openings.
- Low-E coatings and glass packages. A high-performance low-E coating on a dual-pane casement adds cost but pays back in reduced solar heat gain. In Westchester’s west-facing rooms especially, it’s often worth it.
If you qualify for our senior or veteran discount, that’s a permanent 10% off your total. And if a repair rather than a full replacement is what’s actually needed, any repair over $200 gets $40 off automatically.

Why Westchester Homeowners Choose Winslow
There are national window chains that will run an ad in your zip code and send a crew from across the county. We’re not that. Winslow Windows & Doors has been serving South Florida homeowners since 2011, and Ed Winslow built the business on the kind of accountability that only works when your name and your address are public knowledge. Our license number is published. Our address is real. When you call, a live person answers – at 8 a.m. or at midnight.
For casement window work in Westchester specifically, we bring something the national installers can’t: familiarity with how Westchester homes are actually built. We know which neighborhoods have older window bucks prone to water infiltration. We know which roof overhangs on certain block homes change how casements need to be sealed at the head. We know that west-facing elevations in this part of Miami-Dade take a beating through hurricane season and need the right glass package, not just the cheapest one that passes code.
We’re authorized installers for ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, two brands that manufacture specifically for Florida’s climate conditions – not adapted from northern designs. And everything we install is backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. That’s not a marketing line. It means that if anything about the installation isn’t right – the seal, the hardware, the crank mechanism, the flashing – we come back and fix it. No question.

FAQs – Casement Windows in Westchester
Are casement windows impact-rated for Miami-Dade County?
Yes – casement windows can be fully impact-rated and Miami-Dade NOA-approved, and that’s what we typically recommend for Westchester installations. Not all casement windows are impact-rated by default, so the product selection matters. Brands like ES Windows and ECO Window Systems manufacture impact casements built specifically for Florida’s wind-load requirements. When we do your estimate, we’ll confirm what the permit requires for your specific opening and give you options within that. Call (863) 251-5864 for a free assessment of your home’s current windows.
How much does casement window installation cost in Westchester?
Casement window installation in Westchester typically costs between $350 and $900 per window, installed, depending on glass type, impact rating, and window size. A standard dual-pane impact casement in a typical residential opening runs $480 to $700 installed. Larger openings, French casement configurations, Picture & Fixed Windows combinations, or rough-opening repairs add to that number. We give you a firm upfront price at the free estimate – no ranges that expand after you sign. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll come out and give you an exact figure.
Can casement windows be used in a bathroom or kitchen above a fixture?
Yes, and that’s one of the most common reasons Westchester homeowners choose casements. A casement window above a kitchen sink or bathroom vanity can be cranked open from below without reaching past the fixture, which a standard double-hung can’t do. We size the window to the rough opening and use moisture-resistant glazing compounds appropriate for high-humidity interior environments. It’s a straightforward installation in most cases, and we can typically get it done in a single visit.
How long does a casement window installation take in Westchester?
A single casement window replacement takes most of our crews two to three hours on-site, including removal of the old unit, frame inspection, installation, sealing, and hardware adjustment. A multi-window job on the same home can usually be completed in one day. The longer lead time is usually permit processing and product delivery, not the physical installation. We coordinate all of that for you, so your role is just confirming the appointment and being home when we arrive.
What’s the difference between a casement and a double-hung window?
A casement window is hinged on one side and swings outward on a crank; a double-hung has two sashes that slide vertically within the frame. Casements offer better ventilation per square foot of opening – the entire sash clears the frame – and a tighter compression seal when closed, unlike Horizontal Roller Windows which slide along a track. Double-hungs are easier to clean from inside the home and suit certain architectural styles better. In Westchester, homeowners upgrading from older aluminum sliders or double-hungs often find that casements perform better in both energy efficiency and storm resistance, especially with an impact-rated glass package.
