Since 2011, Winslow Windows & Doors has been the locally owned alternative to the big-box installers who hand you a ticket number and vanish. Ed Winslow runs this company personally.

If it’s not done right, we make it right, period.
North Miami Beach homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone at 2 a.m. when a storm is spinning up in the Atlantic. No voicemail loops, no call centers.

Our Impact Windows Services in North Miami Beach
Every North Miami Beach project starts with an honest assessment of your existing openings, your wind zone, and what the county will demand at permit. Here’s what we handle most often:
Impact Window Replacement
Most North Miami Beach homes built between the 1950s and 1970s still carry original jalousie louvered or single-pane aluminum windows. These fail HVHZ large-missile requirements outright. We remove them, reframe openings as needed, and install impact-rated units with laminated glass interlayers and Miami-Dade NOA stickers visible on every frame. The 1960s CBS homes off NE 163rd Street are a regular part of our week.
Impact Window Installation for Newer Construction
North Miami Beach’s newer master-planned communities and condo towers along the Intracoastal have builder-grade windows that owners replace sooner than expected, usually within 10 to 15 years. We install PGT and CWS impact windows that meet the county’s newest HVHZ testing standards, with design pressures matched to each opening’s height and exposure. No opening ever gets a rating above +/-100 PSF, because nothing in Miami-Dade needs more than that.
Full-Home Impact Window Packages
For whole-home replacement across North Miami Beach, we bundle the work into a fixed-price contract with no change orders. We pull permits, schedule the staged install, and pass inspection before the final walkthrough. A typical North Miami Beach single-family home runs 8 to 14 openings, and we’ll give you a written package price before you commit to anything.
Impact Window Repair and Hardware Replacement
Salt-laden air from the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay corrodes window hardware faster in North Miami Beach than almost anywhere inland. Frozen sashes, failed balances, and pitted frames are the top repair calls we get from the 1970s-era condo buildings along West Dixie Highway. We repair what’s repairable and tell you straight when replacement is the smarter money.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Miami Beach
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and for North Miami Beach work we lean heavily on PGT, CGI, and CWS units that carry the exact Miami-Dade NOA numbers the county demands. We also install ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for homeowners who want a higher-end architectural look. Because we install all of them regularly, we know which lines have the shortest fabrication lead times, which glass packages qualify for the wind-mitigation insurance credits, and which frames hold up best against salt air. Parts for warrantied PGT and CGI units are stocked locally, so a service call doesn’t turn into a four-week wait.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in North Miami Beach Homes
- Original jalousie windows still in place. These louvered glass slats from the postwar building boom become projectile entry points in a hurricane. They have no large-missile rating whatsoever, and any homeowner who leaves them in place is betting against a storm that doesn’t care about the odds.
- Out-of-county aluminum frames that only carry Florida Product Approval. Broward-based crews cross the county line thinking a statewide FPA number is enough. Miami-Dade Product Control rejects the permit submittal, and the homeowner is stuck with uninstalled product. We’ve seen this exact scenario more times than we can count in North Miami Beach.
- Salt-air oxidation on 1970s condo balconies. Standard anodized frames near the water corrode within a decade, freezing the sashes in their tracks. North Miami Beach’s position three to five miles from both the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay makes this a year-round problem, not a storm-season one.
- Builder-grade windows failing early in newer developments. Master-planned communities in North Miami Beach installed low-cost windows during the 2000s boom. Owners call us when seals fog, frames warp, and energy bills climb. The upgrade path is usually straightforward once you confirm the HOA’s architectural guidelines.
Pricing for Impact Windows in North Miami Beach, FL
Impact window pricing in North Miami Beach runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard sizes. Single-hung impact windows land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a picture window facing the Intracoastal or a sliding glass door conversion, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages on typical 1950s-to-1970s CBS homes start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 depending on opening count, floor height, and whether the HOA requires specific frame finishes. What moves the price in North Miami Beach more than anything is permitting: if your current windows aren’t compliant, you’ll need the full replacement cycle, not just glass swaps. Call (863) 656-0462 to schedule a free in-home measure and get a written quote before you decide anything.
What Impact Windows Costs in North Miami Beach
Let’s put real numbers on the table. A standard 36×60 impact window in North Miami Beach, installed and permitted, runs $800 to $1,200 for a vinyl frame. Aluminum frames run higher, $1,000 to $1,500, and hold up better against the salt air. Single-hung impact windows, the most common replacement in the postwar housing stock, run $900 to $1,800 depending on glass package and design pressure rating. Large or custom openings, arched windows, or floor-to-ceiling glass on a condo balcony can reach $2,500 to $5,000 per opening. If you’re doing the whole house, expect $8,000 to $25,000 or more. Frame material, opening count, floor height, and wind zone all move the number. We give you a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
Florida Pays You Back
North Miami Beach homeowners have a real incentives stack available right now. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows are squarely on the list. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs about $75 to $150, most homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on the wind portion of the policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we’ll help you file the paperwork and let your insurer confirm the exact credit. One thing we always tell North Miami Beach buyers: impact windows beat hurricane shutters if you want permanent protection with no panels to haul and hang at 11 p.m. before a storm makes landfall. We install impact windows, not shutters, and we’ll explain the difference honestly.

FAQs - Impact Windows in North Miami Beach
Yes. Florida Product Approval is not enough in North Miami Beach or anywhere else in Miami-Dade County. Every window or door must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance issued by the county’s own Product Control division. Broward-based crews routinely show up with only FPA paperwork and get their permit submittals rejected. We source units with the exact NOA numbers that apply to your specific opening and configuration, so your permit clears first submission. Call (863) 656-0462 if you’re unsure whether the windows a competitor quoted actually carry an NOA.
No, not if you want a passing wind-mitigation inspection and an honest insurance discount. Jalousie windows have no large-missile rating and fail HVHZ requirements outright, regardless of what you bolt over them. Storm panels are a secondary layer, not a substitute for impact-rated glazing. The permanent fix is replacement with NOA-carrying impact windows, which also cuts your cooling costs and eliminates the annual panel-hanging scramble. Call (863) 656-0462 and we’ll walk you through the difference with real numbers for your home.
Salt-laden air from the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay oxidizes standard anodized aluminum frames within a decade, pitting the surface and eventually freezing the sashes in their tracks. This is the top repair call we get from 1970s-era condo buildings along West Dixie Highway and the Intracoastal. Choosing a marine-grade or thermally improved aluminum frame at installation, or stepping up to a premium brand like CWS or ES Windows, extends that timeline significantly. We can show you the frame differences in person, side by side, before you spend a dollar.
Your insurer needs a completed wind-mitigation inspection form, which we file after the final county inspection passes. The form verifies that your new windows are impact-rated, carry Miami-Dade NOA numbers, and meet the HVHZ requirements for your wind zone. Most North Miami Beach homeowners then see their windstorm premium drop by about 25% on the wind portion of the policy. We handle the paperwork and will walk it to your inspection if needed. Call (863) 656-0462 to get the process started.
It depends on your condo association’s architectural guidelines. Many 1970s-era buildings along the 163rd Street corridor and the Intracoastal require matching frame finishes or specific glass tints, but most associations will approve modern impact-rated units as long as the exterior color and grid pattern match. We’ve worked with enough North Miami Beach HOAs to know which ones are strict and which will accept a reasonable upgrade. We’ll help you submit the right documentation the first time.
A Real North Miami Beach Job, in Our Own Words
When we replaced the original single-pane aluminum windows on a 1960s CBS home off NE 163rd Street in North Miami Beach, the salt-air pitting had corroded the jamb hardware so badly the old sashes couldn’t be removed without cutting. We installed PGT impact-rated casement windows with laminated glass interlayers and Miami-Dade NOA stickers visible on every frame, then filed the completed wind mitigation form so the homeowner could send it to their insurer. The permit passed Product Control on the first submission because we sourced the exact NOA numbers before we ordered a single unit. That’s the kind of detail work a generic Broward crew simply doesn’t do, and it’s the difference between a project that finishes in three days and one that stalls for six weeks.
The One Down the Road
North Miami Beach’s postwar core, the 1950s-to-1970s concrete-block homes with their jalousie windows and salt-pitted frames, is the exact housing stock that separates a licensed impact specialist from a window salesman with a pickup truck. The Miami-Dade NOA permit path is non-negotiable, and we’ve walked it hundreds of times. When you’re ready for a real number, call (863) 656-0462. A live person answers, Ed’s name is on the door, and your free estimate is written in plain English. The one down the road.
