Fast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Westchester
If you’re searching for a company that actually understands what it takes to put a custom or geometric window into a 1960s Westchester CBS home, you’ve found us. Custom and geometric windows in Westchester aren’t a simple swap. They’re a code-driven, masonry-anchored retrofit job that most window companies avoid because it takes longer, costs more to do right, and exposes problems the moment you pull the old frame. We do this work every week. Call (863) 251-5864 and you’ll talk to a live person who can tell you exactly what your opening needs, not a call center reading from a script.
Our crews serve Westchester directly, and we know the housing stock: single-story concrete-block-and-stucco ranches from the 1950s through the 1970s, many still wearing their original jalousies or corroded aluminum sliders. That changes how we measure, what we anchor to, and which products carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. No guesswork. Just a neighbor who knows the block.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Westchester’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this business in 2011, and the same standard applies to every opening we touch in Westchester: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s a promise with a number attached, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and no national chain will match it because no national chain has an owner answering for your street.
Westchester homeowners call us because we show up on time, we carry our own masonry anchors and pressure-treated bucks on the truck, and our technicians are background-checked and in uniform before the truck door opens. You know who’s at your door. You also know what the job will cost before we start. Upfront pricing, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and no trip charge inside the home county. We’ve earned a strong local reputation in Westchester one opening at a time, and a lot of those jobs started with a homeowner who had been burned by a low bid and a caulk-only install.
We serve all of Westchester, from the blocks around SW 8th Street down toward Coral Way and the neighborhoods near Tropical Park. The city’s density means tight property lines and little room for staging. Our crews plan for that, not around it.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Westchester
Every one of these services starts the same way: we measure the actual rough opening in the masonry, not the old frame. Westchester’s CBS homes settle differently than wood-frame construction, and we’ve rarely met a 1965 opening that was square. Here’s what we offer. Each job gets the full Custom & Geometric Windows treatment: NOA-compliant product selection, masonry anchoring, re-flashing, and stucco patch to match your texture.
Custom Impact Windows
Westchester sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window must carry a Miami-Dade NOA and hold a design pressure matched to your exact opening and floor height. We install impact-rated custom units from PGT and CGI sized to the opening, not a stock dimension forced in with shims and hope. For Westchester’s single-story CBS ranches, a typical custom impact window runs $1,200 to $2,400 per opening installed, depending on size and DP rating.

Geometric & Shaped Windows
Triangles, trapezoids, pentagons, corner bays. Westchester has a surprising number of these, because mid-century Florida ranch architecture loved a decorative fixed pane above a picture window or beside a front door. We fabricate by templating the actual opening in the block, then set the unit in a properly anchored buck. No forcing a rectangle into a parallelogram and hiding the gap with caulk. That’s the failure we fix most often after another crew walks away.

Arched & Curved Windows
Arched tops on a 1960s Westchester ranch are gorgeous and unforgiving. The radius has to be templated precisely, and the frame has to carry impact glass without warping the curve. We’ve set curved units from CGI and ES Windows on homes along SW 8th Street and throughout the neighborhoods around Coral Park. A custom arched impact window in Westchester typically runs $1,800 to $3,600 installed, and the difference between a good one and a bad one is the flashing detail at the spring line.

Oversized Openings
When you want a ten-foot glass wall where a jalousie used to be, you’re no longer replacing a window. You’re altering a structural opening in a concrete block wall. That means a header evaluation, possibly a reinforced lintel, and a permit that may trigger separate inspections. We handle all of it. Oversized custom openings in Westchester belong in the $2,500 to $5,000 range for a single large unit, and whole-home packages with multiple geometric units run $8,000 to $25,000 or more. We write realistic allowances into the contract before demo starts, so you never get surprised mid-wall.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westchester
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, including ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, and Therma-Tru. For Westchester’s impact requirements, we lean on PGT and CGI most often because their Miami-Dade NOA coverage is the deepest and their fabricators can hold tight radii on curved units. Because we order direct and stock common hardware for these brands locally, a hardware replacement or glazing swap doesn’t leave you waiting on a shipment from another state. If the unit can be saved, we save it. If it can’t, we’re honest about that on the first visit.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Westchester Homes
- Non-square masonry openings patched with caulk. Westchester’s 60-year-old block settles. A standard rectangle window forced into a trapezoidal opening leaves gaps that caulk can’t hold. First season of tropical rain, water tracks into the CMU and the interior paint bubbles. We fix this with a properly anchored buck, never more caulk.
- Jalousies with no weather seal and zero impact resistance. Original louvered glass windows don’t seal against wind-driven rain and don’t stop a 2×4 in a Category 3 storm. Miami-Dade insurers know this and surcharge for it. Jalousie-to-impact conversion is the single most common job we do in Westchester.
- Corroded aluminum frames from salt-laden air. Westchester sits 8 to 10 miles inland, but the Atlantic still pushes enough salt into the air to eat unprotected aluminum frames within a decade. The glazing seal breaks down, the window fogs, and the frame flexes. Impact aluminum with proper coatings holds up far better, which is what we specify.
- Homewner-added geometric panes that fail the permit audit. Someone added a half-round fixed window above a door a few years ago. Pretty, but no NOA, no anchoring, no permit. Insurer finds it at renewal. We replace it with a compliant unit and pull the permit retroactively where Westchester’s building department allows.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Westchester
Here are real numbers for Westchester, not national averages. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed at the simple end. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom-shape openings run $2,500 to $5,000, and whole-home packages with multiple geometric units run $8,000 to $25,000 or more. What moves the price in Westchester: the number of openings, the wind-zone requirements for your exact address, floor height where applicable, and frame material. Aluminum costs less than vinyl-clad wood, but every option must be impact-rated here. There’s no non-impact shortcut in an HVHZ. We give you a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote with no change orders unless you approve them in writing first. Call (863) 251-5864 to schedule yours.
Pricing for Custom & Geometric Windows in Westchester, FL
You’ll notice the ranges above aren’t tight, and there’s a reason. A simple 36-by-48 impact rectangle in an ordinary opening is one price. A custom trapezoid with a curved top in a non-square masonry opening is another. In Westchester, plan on $1,500 to $3,500 per custom geometric impact window for most single openings. Arched and curved units push toward the higher end. If you’re converting a whole wall of jalousies to custom fixed geometric panes with an operable vent, you’re in the $10,000 to $18,000 range for that wall alone. Every quote includes the anchoring, buck, flashing, stucco patch, and permit. That’s the difference between our estimate and a low bid that quietly leaves those out.
Florida Pays You Back
Westchester’s insurance market makes impact-rated custom windows a financial decision as much as a safety one. The incentives stack three ways. First, the My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact windows and doors. Second, Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax, which on a $15,000 job puts real money back in your pocket. Third, the federal 25C energy credit can offset 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units with Low-E glass. Separately, after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many Westchester homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t guarantee any of these numbers because the state and your carrier set them. We’ll point you to the programs and make sure your paperwork is right.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters work, but someone has to put them up before every storm, and they do nothing for UV, noise, or daily energy costs. An impact window is permanent protection that’s always on. We don’t install shutters. We install the window you don’t have to think about until the next renewal discount shows up.
What a Westchester Retrofit Actually Turns Up
Here’s the part no generic window page tells you. When you open up a wall in a 60-year-old Westchester home, you find things. The original masonry opening is rarely square, never uniform, and often has failed waterproofing behind the old frame. The header that carried a narrow jalousie may not carry a four-foot arched picture unit. There may be outdated wiring in the header zone that the inspector will flag the moment the wall is open. That last one triggers an electrical permit upgrade nobody budgeted for, and it’s the single most common reason a remodel quote moves mid-job.
So we handle it before it becomes a surprise. We inspect the opening first. We write allowances into the contract for foreseeable conditions: masonry anchoring, pressure-treated bucks, stucco patch. If we find something the allowance doesn’t cover, we price it in writing and get your approval before we touch it. On a 1963 ranch off SW 8th Street, our crew pulled a corroded single-pane aluminum slider to set a custom arched impact window from CGI. Cutting back the failing stucco exposed a jamb that had shifted over decades. We anchored a pressure-treated buck, set the new HVHZ-rated unit, re-flashed the entire opening, and patched the stucco to match the home’s existing texture. The homeowner saw the problem, the fix, and the invoice before anything was hidden behind stucco again. That’s how we handle every opening in Westchester.
This matters here more than almost anywhere else in Florida. Westchester’s aging CBS homes have original masonry openings that are neither square nor uniform, so every custom geometric window must be measured against the actual rough opening and re-flashed to Miami-Dade NOA standards. A retrofit reality that neighboring Broward County, with its wood-frame stock, rarely faces. A Broward crew can cut a new opening in an afternoon. A Westchester crew has to work with the block that’s been there since Eisenhower. We’d rather do the Westchester job. It’s harder, and that’s why we’re good at it.

FAQs - Custom & Geometric Windows in Westchester
Yes, and this is exactly the job we do most often in Westchester. We template the actual rough opening in the block, fabricate the unit to match that shape, and anchor it in a properly built buck. The key is that no stock window gets forced into a non-square opening. A properly done geometric impact window in a 1960s CBS opening runs $1,500 to $3,500 typically, including anchoring, flashing, stucco patch, and permit. Call (863) 251-5864 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
The header gets evaluated before we quote anything. A narrow jalousie header from the 1960s will not carry a four-foot arched unit, so the opening will need a reinforced lintel and possibly additional masonry work. This is a structural alteration, not a window swap, and it requires a permit with its own inspections. We write that work into the contract as a specific line item, and the total for a single oversized arched opening in Westchester typically lands between $2,500 and $5,000. Call (863) 251-5864 to schedule a structural review of your opening.
Yes, in almost every case. Jalousies sit in a frame that we remove, then we prep the existing masonry opening, anchor a buck, and set the new impact unit to the same footprint or an enlarged one. You don’t rebuild the wall unless the surrounding block has failed, which we check before quoting. Jalousie-to-impact conversion in Westchester runs $900 to $1,800 per opening at the standard end, more for geometric shapes or oversized widths. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll schedule a jalousie conversion estimate.
Yes, and the effect is measurable. Low-E glass reflects a large share of the infrared heat that tries to push through your windows, which in Westchester’s year-round heat means your AC runs less. The bigger daily difference is that the window seals tight, so you stop losing conditioned air through jalousie louvers that never closed completely. A full jalousie-to-Low-E-impact conversion typically improves the thermal performance of the wall by an order of magnitude, and the federal 25C credit can offset part of the product cost. Call (863) 251-5864 for specifics on your home and your windows.
Because when you open a wall in an older Westchester home, the inspector will look at everything visible in the opened area, and many 1950s and 1960s CBS homes still have original wiring in the header zone. If it’s outdated, the inspector flags it, and the permit expands to include electrical work. This is the surprise that blows up DIY budgets. We anticipate it by checking for visible wiring before demo and writing an electrical allowance into the contract when there’s any likelihood. No surprise, and no work starts until you’ve approved the changed scope in writing. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll talk through what your specific opening is likely to trigger.
