When you call (727) 291-4678, you reach a live person who knows Coral Gables permitting, coral rock walls, and the difference between what passes in unincorporated Dade and what gets approved here.

Why Coral Gables Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and his name rides on every install we complete. Coral Gables homeowners deal with us directly – not a call center, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and they know the city’s quirks: arched openings on Alhambra Circle, steel casements mortared into limestone on Riviera Drive, new modern boxes in Deering Bay that still answer to the Board of Architects. We’ve replaced windows and doors throughout the Gables, Cocoplum, and Snapper Creek Lakes, and we treat each job as if the inspector will photograph every mullion.
Our standing offers apply here like everywhere else: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. The Done Right Promise is our anchor: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Not next week. Not after you escalate. Right.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Coral Gables
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the backbone of what we do in Coral Gables. Every unit carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval per configuration, with design pressures matched to the opening – never a boilerplate rating above +/-100. Laminated impact glass means a Category 5 windborne missile won’t turn your living room into a kite.

Window Installation
Installing a window correctly in Coral Gables is a different trade than it is in Kendall or Hialeah. We’re working against oolitic limestone, stucco over coral rock, and original openings that were never square. Our crews set proper flashing, square the rough opening, and leave the surrounding stone untouched.

Window Replacement
If your 1920s steel casements are fogged, rusted, or whistling during afternoon thunderstorms, replacement is a Board of Architects conversation as much as a structural one. We remove old frames with an angle grinder and cold chisel, not a reciprocating saw, so the decorative surrounds survive intact. Then we install the new unit to HVHZ standards and hand you the NOA paperwork for your file.

Door Installation
Entry doors in Coral Gables pull multiple duties: they hold impact rating, they carry architectural review, and they’re the first thing a neighbor notices. We install PGT and Therma-Tru configurations that clear the Board and hold their finish against salt air from Biscayne Bay.
Learn more about our Door Installation in Coral Gables.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
A sliding glass door on a Granada golf course home or a Cocoplum waterfront property gets abused by sun, salt, and storm surge threats. We install impact-rated sliders and French doors with marine-grade hardware, and we set the track so it doesn’t bind when the slab shifts in August heat.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated frames knock a real chunk off cooling costs in Coral Gables, where air conditioning runs ten months a year. Expect roughly 20-30% savings on the cooling portion of your bill with the right glazing package. We’ll show you the numbers before you spend a dollar.
Learn more about our Energy-Efficient Windows in Coral Gables.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening on most Coral Gables homes and the first to fail in a storm. We install impact-rated garage doors that brace the opening and keep the roof from pressurizing. Same NOA standard as the windows, because the code demands it.
Learn more about our Impact Garage Doors in Coral Gables.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Coral Gables is full of eyebrow arches, clipped corners, and radius tops that big-box stores can’t order. We fabricate custom and geometric windows through CWS and ES Windows, matching divided-lite patterns the Board of Architects will actually sign off on.
Learn more about our Custom & Geometric Windows in Coral Gables.
Roof Repair
A leaking tile roof on a Coral Gables Mediterranean home is often a flashing problem, not a tile problem. We find it, fix it, and document the repair for your insurance file.
Learn more about our Roof Repair in Coral Gables.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Old barrel tile roofs on 1930s homes are reaching the end of their service life. We replace them with tile, shingle, or metal systems that hold a Miami-Dade NOA and look right on a Merrick-era home.
Learn more about our Roof Replacement & Installation in Coral Gables.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
From flat concrete tile on mid-century ranches to standing seam metal on modern builds, we install all three primary roof systems in Coral Gables and back them with the same Done Right Promise as our windows.

Why Coral Gables’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Coral Gables enforces its own Board of Architects review on top of Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Every replacement window or door must satisfy both the strictest impact-rating standard in the country and a city aesthetic board that mandates compatibility with the Mediterranean Revival character George Merrick wrote into the city’s DNA. A standard impact window that would pass instantly in adjacent unincorporated Miami-Dade or South Miami can be rejected in Coral Gables purely for failing to replicate arched profiles, divided-lite patterns, or period-appropriate finishes.
The housing stock compounds it. The city’s core is dominated by 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival homes built with thick oolitic limestone and stucco walls, many retaining original steel casement windows with arched tops and ornamental surrounds. That construction bears no resemblance to the wood-frame or CBS track homes that define most of South Florida. Cutting new rough openings or removing old frames in these masonry walls is far more labor-intensive and risks damaging hand-carved limestone surrounds that the city’s historic preservation rules require to be left intact.
On the bayfront and eastern streets, salt-laden air off Biscayne Bay accelerates frame oxidation and hardware corrosion. Anodized aluminum alloy selection and marine-grade hardware are not optional there – they’re what keeps a door swinging and a window locking five years after install.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Coral Gables
Impact windows in Coral Gables typically run from $1,200 to $2,800 per opening installed, depending on size, arch configuration, and NOA design-pressure requirements. Entry doors land between $3,500 and $9,000. Sliding glass doors average $4,000 to $12,000. Custom and geometric windows, which Coral Gables requires more often than any other city in the county, add 30-50% over standard rectangles. Simple window repairs start around $200, and our $40-off-any-repair-over-$200 offer applies immediately.

How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Coral Gables?
Window installation in Coral Gables typically costs $150 to $450 per window in labor for straightforward replacements, while full-frame or new-construction openings on masonry walls run $400 to $900 per window because of the grinding, chiseling, and re-flashing involved. Older coral rock homes with thick plaster and irregular openings sit at the higher end. The best way to know for your house is a free site measure. Call (727) 291-4678 – estimates are free.
Will the Price Change Once Work Starts?
No. We write fixed, line-item bids in Coral Gables and they hold unless the Board of Architects requires a design change mid-review, in which case we document the change order before anything moves. You approve, or we stop. No mystery charges at the end. Call (727) 291-4678 for a written quote.
Do You Pull the Permits in Coral Gables?
Yes. We pull every Coral Gables permit required for window, door, and roof work, and we schedule the Board of Architects review when the opening is street-visible. What passes code doesn’t always pass architectural review, and we handle both. Call (727) 291-4678 to have us check your project’s permitting path.
Florida Pays Coral Gables Homeowners Back
Several programs knock down the cost of impact windows and doors in Coral Gables, and we’ll point you to the exact ones that fit your project:
- My Safe Florida Home matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades.
- Florida sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors – you don’t pay sales tax on qualifying units.
- Federal 25C energy credit – 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units.
- Windstorm premium credits – many carriers reduce the windstorm portion of your premium after a $75-$150 wind-mitigation inspection; the average credit lands around 25% on the windstorm line.
Programs and carriers set the final numbers, and eligibility changes. We’ll walk through what applies to your Coral Gables home and give you the documentation the inspectors and your insurer want. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll map it out.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Coral Gables
Shutters stop flying debris only when someone is home to deploy them. Impact windows are always on, even when you’re in Asheville during a named storm and no one’s there to fumble with panels. Coral Gables homeowners increasingly choose permanent impact protection because the Board of Architects reviews shutters too, and the aesthetic bar is the same. Impact windows also earn windstorm premium credits, block daytime heat, and cut street noise by up to 40%. They cost more upfront than a steel accordion shutter, but they protect constantly instead of conditionally.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Coral Gables
Most visible openings do. The Coral Gables Board of Architects reviews replacement windows and doors for compatibility with the Mediterranean Revival character Merrick mandated, and that’s on top of Miami-Dade HVHZ code. We’ve navigated enough of these reviews to know what gets approved and what gets sent back. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your project will trigger review before you spend anything.
Impact windows use laminated glass with an inner layer that holds the pane together when a windborne missile hits, plus reinforced frames anchored to the structure to a Miami-Dade design pressure rating. Regular windows shatter and then the house pressurizes, which is how roofs blow off. In Coral Gables’s HVHZ zone, impact windows are the standard, not the upgrade. Call (727) 291-4678 for a free estimate on the right units for your home.
As fast as a single day once your units arrive, for most straight replacements. Custom and arched units add fabrication time – typically 4-6 weeks from order to install. Masonry removal on older coral rock homes runs a bit slower than on frame homes because we’re cutting steel casements out of limestone, not prying wood out of studs. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll give you a schedule with your quote.
Most Coral Gables homeowners who switch say yes, because shutters only work when someone deploys them. Impact windows are always protecting the envelope – from hurricanes, from burglary attempts, and from heat gain. They also qualify for windstorm premium credits that shutters don’t always trigger. Call (727) 291-4678 and we can price both paths side by side.
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among others. Each has different strengths for Coral Gables: PGT for volume impact value, CGI for heavy design pressures, CWS and ES for custom arch shapes and luxury finishes the Board of Architects likes. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll match the brand to your home, not the other way around.

What Coral Gables 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"The installation was clean and the windows are beautiful. The factory took about six weeks to deliver the units, which Ed told me upfront, but living behind plywood-framed openings in the meantime still tested my patience."
- Guadalupe Zamorano"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
