Salt air eats window frames here faster than almost anywhere in Florida. That’s the reality of owning property on a barrier island, and it’s the first thing we account for on every Miami Beach job. Ed Winslow founded Winslow Windows & Doors in 2011, and our crews know South Beach, mid-Beach, and North Beach the way only people who work here every week can. We answer the phone live at (727) 291-4678, and we’ll give you an honest read on whether a window repair makes sense or a full replacement is the smarter money.

Why Miami Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
We’re the local owner-operator that actually picks up the phone. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and he’s the one accountable when something goes wrong. Homeowners from South of Fifth to Surfside border call us because we do the two things national chains won’t: we answer at 2 a.m. when a storm takes out a window, and we send background-checked, uniformed technicians whose names you know before the truck arrives. Our published license number and physical office aren’t secrets; they’re on our home page and every estimate we hand you. We’ve installed PGT, CGI, CWS products across Miami Beach, and our Done Right Promise means that if it’s not right, we come back and make it right. No ticket numbers, no runaround.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami Beach
Impact Windows
Laminated impact glass rated to Miami-Dade County’s NOA standards is the cornerstone of what we install in Miami Beach. Every opening gets a matched design pressure rating specific to its size and location, never a blanket number. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Miami Beach.
Window Installation
Proper installation stops water intrusion before it starts, and on a barrier island that matters more than inland. We sweat the flashing details, the sealant chemistry, and the anchor pattern so your windows earn their ratings. Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami Beach.
Window Replacement
Pulling an old jalousie or steel casement window exposes hidden frame rot and water damage in Miami Beach homes more often than not. We quote the full repair scope up front so the invoice doesn’t surprise you later. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami Beach.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and side doors all need to handle salt air, wind-driven rain, and forced-entry resistance specific to Miami Beach code. We carry Therma-Tru and other lines engineered for exactly these conditions.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Beachfront and bayfront properties lean hard on these openings. We install sliders that roll smooth after years of salt exposure because the rollers and tracks are specified for marine environments, not inland homes.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and thermally broken frames cut cooling costs here, and in a city where air conditioning runs nine months a year, that’s real money back. We’ll show you which glazing package makes sense for the side of the building each window faces.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in the house and a frequent hurricane failure point. We install impact-rated garage doors that meet current Miami-Dade wind-load requirements without looking like a bank vault.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Art Deco buildings sometimes need a round window, an eyebrow, or a trapezoid that no stock catalog carries. We fabricate custom shapes while keeping the profiles and sightlines the Historic Preservation Board wants to see on Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive.
Roof Repair
Winslow is a full exterior-protection company, so we also handle roof leaks, missing shingles, and tile repairs in Miami Beach. Same crews, same accountability.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a full roof replacement is the right call, we pull permits, coordinate with your building’s requirements, and install systems rated for Miami-Dade conditions.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Concrete tile, standing seam metal, or architectural shingle, we match the existing roof character of your neighborhood and the structural capacity of your building.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami Beach
We run jobs in every corner of Miami Beach, typically reaching most addresses within an hour when a window is already broken. Some of the neighborhoods where you’ll see our trucks most often:
- South of Fifth
- Flamingo Park
- Bayshore
- North Beach / Normandy Isles
- Mid-Beach
Why Miami Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami Beach is the only place in the country where a window has to pass two completely different gatekeepers. First, Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ Notice of Acceptance demands impact-rated glazing and frame systems tested to the strictest hurricane codes in the nation. Second, if you own a building in the Art Deco Historic District, the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board reviews the window’s profile, sightline, and material as part of design review. A fully HVHZ-compliant window can still get rejected on a Collins Avenue condo because its mullion pattern doesn’t match the original 1930s look. We’ve navigated that dual approval enough times to know which product lines clear both without expensive resubmittals. That’s not true of every contractor working Miami Beach.
Then there’s the housing itself. South Beach’s 1920s-1940s Art Deco and Mediterranean Revival buildings came with steel casement and jalousie windows never intended for wind-borne debris. Mid-Beach and North Beach shift to 1950s-1970s concrete-block apartments where jalousie windows were standard, and those are now outright prohibited in any replacement. Pull a permit on an old North Beach apartment with jalousies and you’ve automatically triggered a full window replacement conversation. We see that every month, and it catches building owners off guard the first time.
Sitting on a barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and Biscayne Bay on the other also means salt-spray corrosion that inland customers never experience. Standard anodized aluminum frames can show pitting failure in under five years here. In Coral Gables, the same frame lasts decades. We specify marine-grade coatings and stainless fasteners on every Miami Beach installation without being asked, because we’ve seen what happens when someone doesn’t.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami Beach
Impact windows in Miami Beach typically run $1,200 to $2,800 per opening installed, depending on size, glazing, and whether the building requires Historic Preservation Board review on top of code compliance. Entry door replacements usually land between $2,500 and $6,000. Sliding glass doors start around $3,500 and climb with width and impact rating. Custom geometric windows are quoted per shape after site measurement. We give written line-item pricing up front, and the number on the proposal is the number you pay, no change orders. Seniors and veterans take 10% off every job, and any repair over $200 gets $40 off, no expiration. Call (727) 291-4678 for an exact quote.
Florida Pays Miami Beach Homeowners Back
Florida sweetens the deal on impact-rated upgrades, and Miami Beach homeowners can stack several incentives. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades; eligibility and funding rounds vary, so check the current program status when you apply. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which shaves real dollars off a whole-home project. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of qualifying product cost up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), most Miami Beach homeowners also see their windstorm premium drop by around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. Every carrier sets final numbers, so we can’t promise an exact credit, but the inspection usually pays for itself in the first renewal.
One comparison worth making: hurricane shutters cost less up front, but you have to be home to deploy them, they require storage, and they do nothing for energy efficiency, noise, or UV damage the other 364 days of the year. Impact windows are permanent protection that’s always working. If you’re debating the two, we’ll give you honest numbers for both instead of steering you to the more expensive option.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami Beach
If your building is in the Art Deco Historic District or individually designated, yes, design review is required in addition to HVHZ code compliance before we can pull permits. We prepare the submittal package and handle the review process; most of our approved applications have sailed through because we know which profiles the Board will accept on Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, and the surrounding historic blocks. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll check your building’s status on the first call.
Most Miami Beach openings run $1,200 to $2,800 installed, with the final number driven by size, glazing package, and whether design review applies. Written quotes are free, and the price we hand you is the price you pay. Call (727) 291-4678 for an exact line-item estimate.
No. Jalousie windows are prohibited in any new or replacement installation under HVHZ code, so the answer is always full replacement with a compliant impact-rated window. If your mid-Beach or North Beach apartment still has jalousies, we can walk you through what a code-compliant replacement looks like and what it costs. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll talk through your building’s options.
No. We write fixed quotes after inspecting the openings, and we honor them. The only time scope changes is when we open a wall and find rot or structural damage that was invisible from the outside, and in that case we show you photos and get your sign-off before spending another dollar. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship, and we don’t play the lowball-then-change-order game.
Once your custom units arrive, installation on a typical Miami Beach condo or home runs as fast as a single day. Custom fabrication typically takes 4-6 weeks, and we coordinate with your building’s management on delivery and crane access if needed. Call (727) 291-4678 to get a project timeline for your specific building.
If you’re in Miami Beach and your windows are original to a 1930s Deco building, fogged from failed seals, or simply fighting a losing battle with salt air, call Ed’s team at (727) 291-4678. We’ll give you a free estimate, a straight answer, and a written quote that holds. The one down the road.

What Miami Beach Customers Say
"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
- Rosalind Beaumont"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
- Henrietta Pemberton"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."
