AfterWindows & Doors Services in Miami, FL
If you’re searching for windows and doors in Miami, you’re likely dealing with one of three situations: a failed impact unit, an insurance mandate after a wind mitigation inspection, or a pre-Andrew home still running original aluminum and jalousie windows that need to come out yesterday. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve built our reputation on answering the phone when Miami homeowners call, showing up when we say we will, and standing behind every opening we touch with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Call (863) 656-0462 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail loop.

Why Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Miami is a market where the difference between a licensed impact specialist and a big-box subcontractor shows up in the details: the NOA paperwork filed with Miami-Dade County, the design pressure matched to each opening, the stucco repair around a CBS block buck. Homeowners in Kendall and Shenandoah have called us after other companies ghosted on warranty claims or handed them a ticket number instead of a person. That doesn’t happen here. Ed Winslow owns the company, answers for the work, and has been doing that since 2011.
We’re the alternative to faceless national chains. Every technician who pulls up to a Miami home is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the first handshake. Our crews install authorized product from PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux, among others. And unlike a retailer that subs out installation to the lowest bidder, we handle the entire job ourselves, from the first measurement to the final Miami-Dade inspection. We answer calls 24/7, publish our address and license number, and back every installation not with a brochure promise but with Ed’s word: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Miami homeowners in neighborhoods like Coral Way, Little Havana, and Flagami call us because they want one company that handles windows, doors, and roofing without passing the buck between trades. When an impact window install reveals rotted buck or stucco damage, we’re already the ones who can fix it, not the ones who’ll tell you to find someone else.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami
Impact Windows
Impact windows in Miami are not a luxury upgrade; they’re the baseline requirement for any home that has to survive the next named storm. We install laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval per configuration, engineered to High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards, with design pressures matched to each opening so you never buy more rating than your home actually requires.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in Miami.
Window Installation
Every CBS home in Miami has masonry openings that need tapcon anchors, steel or aluminum bucks, and proper stucco repair around each frame. Our crews install for Miami’s actual housing stock, not for a generic Florida template.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami.
Window Replacement
Pre-Andrew single-pane aluminum and louvered jalousie windows fail every current HVHZ requirement and are effectively uninsurable under modern homeowner policies. We replace them with impact-rated, energy-certified units that meet Miami-Dade code and actually close tight.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, and French doors all need the same careful anchoring and flashing approach in Miami’s block construction. We install Therma-Tru and other authorized brands with the same NOA discipline we bring to windows.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Miami living runs through the rear slider or the patio door wall. Sliding glass doors get a beating from salt air and humidity, and a failed roller or warped track on an impact-rated panel is a real security problem. We install, service, and replace sliding and patio doors throughout Miami.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Your AC is fighting Miami’s sun and humidity all year. The right low-E glass package, properly installed, typically takes 20 to 30 percent off the cooling load for the rooms it covers. We help Miami homeowners pick glass packages that balance impact code compliance with real heat rejection.
Impact Garage Doors
An unrated garage door is the largest opening on most Miami homes, and a wind-rated one is a structural requirement for wind mitigation credits. We install impact garage doors that handle Miami-Dade’s wind loads and seal properly at the jambs.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Round-tops, arches, trapezoids, and other custom shapes are common in Miami’s mid-century and Mediterranean revival homes. We order custom and geometric windows sized to the exact opening, not “close enough” rectangles jammed into non-rectangular holes.
Roof Repair
A small roof leak in Miami becomes mold in the attic and water-stained ceilings during the wet season. We repair flashing, underlayment, and damaged roof sections, and we’re the same crew that can address the window or door that got compromised in the same storm.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Roof replacement in Miami-Dade means wind-rated underlayment, sealed decking, and materials chosen for 140-plus mph wind zones within a few miles of the coast. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing, and we pull the permits and meet the inspections so you don’t chase paperwork.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Miami’s mix of barrel tile on older Spanish-style homes, shingle on mid-century ranches, and standing-seam metal on modern builds means there’s no one-size-fits-all roof. We install all three, correctly flashed and tied into the walls and windows below.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami
Our crews are in Miami neighborhoods every week. We work across the city regularly, from Coconut Grove to Hialeah, and from the Upper East Side down to Kendall. Typical response time for a quote within Miami city limits is same-week, and we schedule around your availability, not ours.

Why Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Every window and door installed in Miami-Dade County has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), a product-specific approval for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that is stricter than the Florida Building Code. That requirement traces directly to Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 obliteration of South Miami-Dade. Products that are perfectly legal to install in Tampa, Orlando, or Jacksonville often lack the NOA paperwork Miami-Dade inspectors require, and a contractor who doesn’t know that difference is a liability waiting to happen.
Layer climate on top of code and you understand why Miami eats cheap windows. Salt-laden air off Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic corrodes aluminum frames, exposed fasteners, and hardware, visibly pitting uncoated frames within a few years on Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Sunny Isles Beach. Year-round humidity and extreme UV load degrade IGU seals and weatherstripping faster than anywhere inland. Meanwhile, the dominant building type in this city is the post-WWII concrete block (CBS) home, common across Hialeah, Little Havana, Westchester, and most inland neighborhoods. Those masonry openings mean window replacement here requires tapcon anchors into block, steel or aluminum bucks, and stucco repair around every single opening, not the nailing-fin installs that work in wood-frame markets. If a window company in Miami didn’t grow up doing CBS openings, they’re learning on your house.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami
We give upfront, line-item pricing before any work begins. No vague allowances, no change orders after the fact. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless you change the scope. Here’s what Miami homeowners should expect:
| Project Type | Typical Range in Miami |
|---|---|
| Impact window (single opening, standard size) | $1,200 – $3,000 per opening |
| Full-home impact window package (CBS, 10-15 openings) | $18,000 – $45,000 |
| Entry door replacement (impact-rated) | $3,500 – $9,000 |
| Sliding glass door (impact-rated, 2-panel) | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Impact garage door | $3,000 – $8,000 |
| Roof replacement (shingle, standard Miami home) | $12,000 – $28,000 |
| Tile or metal roof | $25,000 – $60,000+ |
Custom and geometric windows run higher because of fabrication and lead times; we’ll confirm exact pricing after measuring. And remember: we offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside Miami-Dade, and a permanent 10 percent discount for seniors and veterans. Call (863) 656-0462 for a free, no-obligation estimate.
Florida Pays Miami Homeowners Back
Miami homeowners get more help from Florida and the feds than almost anywhere else in the country on these upgrades, but you have to know the stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, and impact-resistant windows and doors are exactly the kind of work the program was built for. Florida also has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, which takes real money off the invoice at purchase time. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of the product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after you do the work and get a wind-mitigation inspection (which typically runs $75 to $150), many Miami homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. We can’t guarantee the final numbers because programs, lenders, and insurance carriers set their own rules. But we’ll point you to the right forms and make sure the work qualifies. If a contractor tells you not to bother with permits or NOAs, you’re not getting the grants or the premium credits. Walk away. Then call us.
Key Takeaways
- Every window and door in Miami-Dade requires a Miami-Dade NOA; many products legal elsewhere in Florida don’t qualify here.
- Miami’s CBS concrete-block homes need tapcon anchoring, bucks, and stucco repair; wood-frame techniques don’t apply.
- Salt air and humidity from Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic accelerate corrosion and seal failure.
- My Safe Florida Home grants, Florida sales-tax exemption, and the federal 25C credit can stack to meaningful savings.
- Winslow Windows & Doors is locally owned by Ed Winslow, answers calls 24/7, and backs everything with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise.
How Do Impact Windows Compare to Hurricane Shutters in Miami?
We sell and install impact windows, not shutters, so here’s our honest take. Shutters only work if someone is home to deploy them, every single time. In an evacuation scenario, or a work trip, or a false alarm that turns into the real thing, an unprotected window is an open invitation for wind-borne debris. Impact windows are always there. You don’t hang them, store them, or remember them. They also add value in ways shutters don’t: better noise isolation, which matters along the US-1 corridor and anywhere near the Turnpike, and real energy performance. A big-box retail store might sell you a window off the shelf and point you to a subcontracted crew. We’re not that. We’re licensed, Miami-Dade-versed, and we warranty what we install.
Neighborhoods and Areas We Serve in Miami
Miami isn’t a single housing market; it’s a patchwork of distinct neighborhoods with different construction eras and different window challenges. In Little Havana and Overtown, we’re constantly replacing jalousie windows, those louvered glass slats that were standard in pre-1970s CBS homes and now fail every HVHZ requirement. The jalousie replacement pipeline in Miami is massive: these windows provide virtually no wind-borne debris resistance and are effectively uninsurable under modern homeowner policies. That’s a compliance- and insurance-driven demand that simply doesn’t exist at scale anywhere outside South Florida.
In Shenandoah, Coral Way, and Coconut Grove, we see the original wood-frame and mid-century aluminum openings that need custom sizing and careful flashing work. In Kendall and Westchester, it’s the sprawling CBS ranchers built after the war, where a decade of sun and salt has baked the original single-pane aluminum windows brittle. And everywhere we go, we hear the same thing: “I didn’t know I needed a NOA” or “The last company didn’t pull a permit.” We do it right the first time, and we don’t make you ask.
Do You Pull Permits for Windows & Doors in Miami?
Yes, always. Miami-Dade County requires permits for window and door replacement, and every NOA-rated product installed here must match the approved configuration on file. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and don’t call the job done until Miami-Dade signs off. If a contractor suggests skipping the permit to save money, understand that the money saved will come back as a flagged sale at closing, an insurance claim denial, or a failed code inspection. We don’t do that to Miami homeowners. We pull the permit, we pass the inspection, and we hand you the paperwork. Every time.
Will the Price Change Once Work Starts?
No. Our quotes are line-item and fixed. If we open up a wall and find hidden water damage or rotted buck, we’ll stop, show you exactly what we found, and give you a written change order before we touch anything further. You approve it, or you don’t. There’s no surprise invoice at the end. That’s the Ed Winslow way: no vague allowances, no “we’ll see how it goes” pricing. The number we give you is the number you pay, unless you add scope. It’s one of the reasons Miami homeowners tell their neighbors to call us.
How Long Does a Window or Door Replacement Take in Miami?
For a standard window or door replacement in Miami, once your units arrive at our shop, installation is often as fast as a single day for a typical opening. Full-home impact window packages on a CBS home take longer, usually a few days of careful work including stucco repair around each opening. Custom and geometric windows add fabrication time: expect 4 to 6 weeks from order to install. We’ll give you a clear schedule before we start, and we’ll keep you posted on your order status so you’re not left wondering. Call (863) 656-0462 and we’ll tell you what the timeline looks like for your specific home.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami
A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) is a product-specific certification that a window or door has been tested and approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Miami-Dade requires it for every window and door installed in the county. Without an NOA, a product can’t legally be installed here, and insurers will often refuse windstorm credits on unapproved equipment. We only install NOA-approved products, and we file the right paperwork with the county. Call (863) 656-0462 if you have questions about your specific project.
Replacing windows and doors in Miami typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,000 per standard impact window opening, $18,000 to $45,000 for a full-home package on a CBS home, and $3,000 to $12,000 for an impact-rated sliding glass door. Doors, custom shapes, and roofing are priced by the opening. The fastest way to get an exact number is to call (863) 656-0462 for a free estimate; we measure, quote, and hold the price.
Yes, potentially several. Florida’s My Safe Florida Home program has matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows and doors are eligible. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of product cost up to $600 per year for qualifying efficient units. We’ll help you understand what applies to your home. Call (863) 656-0462 for guidance.
Yes. Miami-Dade County requires permits for window and door replacement, and the work must pass inspection. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and don’t close out the job until the county signs off. No permit means no insurance credit, possible problems at sale, and no valid warranty claim. Call (863) 656-0462 and we’ll handle the entire process.
Salt air off Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic corrodes aluminum frames, corrodes fasteners, and pits hardware, especially on the barrier islands. High humidity and constant UV load shorten IGU seal life and break down weatherstripping years earlier than inland Florida would. The right materials, properly finished and sealed, make a huge difference. We install for Miami conditions specifically. Call (863) 656-0462 to talk through what’s right for your location.

What Miami Customers Say
"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
- Yolanda Betancourt"Our insurance agent asked for the wind mitigation paperwork and Ed had the whole file ready the day the job closed, every opening photographed. The premium conversation went very differently this year."
- Odessa Fairbanks"The old aluminium sliders howled every afternoon storm and swelter came straight through the glass. The new impact sliders shut with a sound like a bank vault and the back rooms finally hold their temperature."
- Percival Whitcombe
