Welcome to Miami, a city where windows and doors do more than frame a view. They stand between your family and hurricane season, salt air, and the punishing Florida sun. Winslow Windows & Doors has worked in neighborhoods from Coconut Grove to Kendall, and our crews know exactly what Miami-Dade County demands from every opening in your home. If you need impact windows, a new entry door, or a full replacement, call (863) 251-5864 and you’ll get Ed Winslow’s team, not a call center. We answer live, 24/7.

Why Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Miami homeowners deal with a specific set of problems: corroded aluminum frames from Biscayne Bay salt air, failed seals from UV that destroys silicone in a few summers, and insurance carriers demanding impact-rated openings on older homes. Ed Winslow built his business for this market. We’re locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number. No shell companies, no franchise playbook. When you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
Our crews have installed impact windows along SW 8th Street in Westchester, replaced sliding glass doors in Brickell high-rises after storm damage, and upgraded entry doors in Little Havana’s pre-Andrew bungalows. Homeowners in Cutler Bay and Pinecrest call us because we verify NOA numbers before ordering product, so inspections pass the first time. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami
Impact Windows
Impact windows are our flagship line for Miami. Laminated glass, Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, and design pressures matched to each opening, never rated above +/-100 psf. We install PGT and CGI systems that stand up to wind-borne debris without shutters. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Miami.
Window Installation
Window installation in Miami’s concrete-block homes requires masonry anchors and specialized flashing, not the wood-frame methods used elsewhere. Our crews know CBS construction inside and out, and we pull permits properly. Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami.
Window Replacement
Replacing windows on a pre-1992 Miami home often means pulling out jalousie glass that offers zero hurricane protection. We match new impact units to your home’s openings and handle the Miami-Dade permit path. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami.
Door Installation
Entry doors in Miami need more than curb appeal. They need impact ratings, corrosion-resistant hardware, and proper anchoring into CBS construction. We install Therma-Tru and other authorized brands. Call us for a free estimate on your door installation.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
A sliding glass door in Miami is often the largest opening in the house, and the most vulnerable. Our impact-rated sliders meet HVHZ requirements and glide smoothly for years, even with constant salt exposure. Ask about our free estimate.
Energy-Efficient Windows
The right glass package can cut cooling costs by 20-30% in Miami’s near-tropical climate. We specify low-E coatings and gas fills suited to south-facing exposure and year-round heat, not winter performance. Check our home page for the full range of options.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the overlooked failure point in Miami storms. We install impact-rated garage doors that meet Miami-Dade code and protect everything inside. Learn more about our impact garage doors.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Not every Miami home fits a standard window. For arched openings in Coral Gables or trapezoid glass on waterfront homes, we design and install custom units that keep their architectural character. We install ViewLux packages for unique geometries.
Roof Repair
Roofs and windows fail together in a hurricane. Our roof repair crews handle flashing, leak repair, and post-storm fixes. Call (863) 251-5864 anytime, 24/7.
Roof Replacement & Installation
We replace roofs across Miami, including shingle, tile, and metal systems. A new roof plus impact windows is the strongest wind-mitigation package you can put on a Miami home. Ask about our free estimate.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Miami’s housing stock uses all three roofing types. We install all three, matched to your home’s structure and the wind zone requirements from Homestead to North Miami.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami

Why Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami-Dade County holds a designation no other U.S. metro shares: High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means every window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-specific certification tied to that exact make and model. Big-box store windows typically cannot pass NOA review, so a homeowner who buys off the shelf and hires someone who doesn’t check will fail inspection and potentially lose windstorm coverage. We verify NOA numbers before we order a single unit.
Add in the dominant CBS construction, concrete block built from the 1950s through today, and you have an installation landscape that differs completely from wood-frame Florida. Masonry anchors, specialized flashing, and precise shimming. A large share of pre-1992 homes in Hialeah, Little Havana, and North Miami still have original jalousie windows, the louvered glass strips that provide zero hurricane resistance. Insurance carriers are forcing those out, and permit triggers require impact upgrades when homeowners touch those openings. Salt-laden air off Biscayne Bay corrodes aluminum frames within a mile of open water; UV degrades silicone seals faster than inland Florida. Hardware and weatherstripping on a waterfront home can fail in under five years unless marine-grade components are specified. Hurricane season runs June through November, and the replacement backlog spikes every fall as post-storm permitting at the Miami-Dade Building Department stretches lead times by weeks.
One more layer: Coral Gables enforces its own historic-preservation overlay on top of HVHZ code. Impact windows on Mediterranean Revival homes must match original divided-lite profiles and may require City Beautiful Board approval. That adds months and completely changes product selection compared to an identical job one street over in unincorporated Miami-Dade.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami
Florida Pays Miami Homeowners Back
Miami homeowners have real financial tools to offset the cost of impact windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, subject to eligibility and funding. Florida’s sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors removes the sales tax entirely at purchase. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many Miami homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t set the program numbers or the premium credits, but we can point you to the inspectors and help you document the upgrades.
Impact windows also beat hurricane shutters in one quiet way: they’re permanent. No panels to haul out of the garage in a storm warning, no tracks to corrode in the salt air, and no forgetting to close them. A big-box retail install may save a few dollars up front, but a licensed impact specialist verifies NOA, pulls the Miami-Dade permit, and installs the anchors that actually hold in a real wind event.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami
Impact window replacement in Miami typically runs $500 to $1,200 per window for standard openings, with full-house packages ranging $12,000 to $28,000 depending on window count, brand, and structural conditions. Call (863) 251-5864 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
No, not usually. Miami-Dade County treats any window work on pre-1992 homes as a permit trigger that may require bringing other openings up to HVHZ code. That’s not a penalty; it’s the law. We navigate that permit path so you don’t have to. Call (863) 251-5864 to talk through your specific home.
No, not unless the scope changes. Our estimates are line-item fixed. If we open a wall and find rotted framing or missing anchors, we’ll show you exactly what changed and what it costs before touching it. No surprises on the invoice.

What Miami Customers Say
"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"He replaced the front door and the garage door in the same week, both rated for impact, and lined the frames up so straight my level had nothing to say. My wife stopped hearing the highway from the front room."
- Maximilian Vasquez"Excellent work and a fair price for what it is, though impact glass is never cheap and one bedroom window arrived with a scratched pane. Ed flagged it before I saw it and the replacement went in without me chasing anyone."
- Bartholomew Crenshaw
