Palmetto Bay homeowners call us when their jalousie windows rattle during a summer squall or an original aluminum slider sticks so badly it takes two hands to open. We answer the phone at (727) 291-4678, and the person who picks up knows Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code well enough to tell you whether your openings are compliant before we ever send a truck. We install impact-rated, Miami-Dade NOA-approved windows and doors in every Palmetto Bay neighborhood, from the ranch homes off Old Cutler Road to the newer construction near Coral Reef Park. Ed Winslow owns this company, and Ed’s name is on the door – and on every job we do.

Why Palmetto Bay Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Most of the houses we work on in Palmetto Bay were built with single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows that cannot pass a wind-mitigation inspection today. Homeowners here have watched neighbors wrestle with national installers who sub out the work and disappear when the permit stalls. We’re locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number you can look up. When you call, a live person answers – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No call center, no voicemail loop, no next-business-day callback.
We’ve installed impact windows in the neighborhoods around Palmetto Bay Park and replaced patio sliders near the Deering Estate area, and our crews know the difference between a CBS rough opening in a 1968 ranch and a wood-framed addition from the 1980s. Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s stepping onto your property before the first handshake. Palmetto Bay homeowners routinely tell us the same thing: the estimate was clear, the crew showed up when they said they would, and the inspection passed the first time.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Palmetto Bay
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Palmetto Bay, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval is permanently installed, always protecting, with no panels to haul out when a storm watch hits. We match design pressures to each opening – never a rating above +/-100 – so every unit is engineered for its exact size and exposure.

Window Installation
New windows in Palmetto Bay rarely fit the original masonry openings without modification. We field-measure every rough opening, then cut or patch CBS block as needed so the new impact unit anchors properly to Miami-Dade HVHZ schedules.

Window Replacement
Replacing original jalousie or aluminum single-pane windows in a CBS ranch home is more than swapping glass. We remove the old frame, prep the opening, anchor the new impact-rated unit per Miami-Dade NOA requirements, and leave the interior and exterior finished clean.

Door Installation
Palmetto Bay Door Installation handles entry doors that take wind pressure, salt air, and daily sun. We install impact-rated doors from PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru, set squarely in the opening with properly sealed thresholds and secure anchoring.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Palmetto Bay Sliding Glass & Patio Doors are often the largest opening in a home, and the most vulnerable. We replace old aluminum sliders with impact-rated units that glide smoothly and meet HVHZ design pressures for their exact size.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows - Palmetto Bay pull double duty: they protect and they insulate. Homeowners who replace jalousie windows typically see cooling costs drop 20-30% because the gaps and leaks are gone, and Low-E coatings cut solar heat gain through the glass.
Impact Garage Doors
Your Impact Garage Doors - Palmetto Bay are the largest opening on your house, and if they buckle during a storm, your roof is next. We install impact-rated garage doors designed to take HVHZ wind loads without failing under pressure.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Palmetto Bay has plenty of ranch homes with quirky window shapes – octagons, half-rounds, trapezoids. We order custom impact-rated units fabricated to your exact measurements, with lead times of 4 to 6 weeks for specialty shapes.
Roof Repair
A damaged roof and broken windows often go together after a storm. We repair roofs in Palmetto Bay and can coordinate the whole exterior-protection scope so you’re not chasing three contractors.
Roof Replacement & Installation
We replace roofs in Palmetto Bay with shingle, tile, or metal systems, all installed to Miami-Dade HVHZ fastening requirements and tied into your wind-mitigation story.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
From architectural shingles to barrel tile matching Palmetto Bay’s 1960s ranch aesthetic to standing-seam metal, we install the roof system your home needs and your carrier will credit.
Whether you’re replacing a single failed window or re-glazing the whole house, start with a free estimate. Call (727) 291-4678.

Why Palmetto Bay’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Palmetto Bay’s residential core is overwhelmingly 1960s-1970s CBS (concrete block structure) ranch homes that still carry original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows – virtually all non-compliant with Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, which mandates Miami-Dade NOA-approved impact products for every opening. Every replacement job here must satisfy the strictest product-approval standard in the United States while also fitting modern impact units into original masonry rough openings that were never dimensioned for them. Precise field measurement and CBS anchoring skill are the defining competencies in this market, and they’re exactly what we’ve built our installation practice around.
Palmetto Bay sits a few miles west of Biscayne Bay, inside Miami-Dade’s full HVHZ wind-pressure zone while also receiving persistent salt-laden onshore air that corrodes aluminum frames and hardware faster than inland markets. Frame alloy selection, finish quality, and sealant choices are consequential decisions on every job here, not afterthoughts. And the village’s award-winning tree canopy – dense rows of mature mahogany, live oak, and gumbo limbo – creates unusually high windborne debris risk from branch strikes during storms. Impact glazing in Palmetto Bay has to perform against neighborhood-generated projectiles, not just pressure loads, which is why homeowners who’ve lived through past storms here often ask specifically about missile-impact test ratings rather than just wind speed ratings.

Florida Pays Palmetto Bay Homeowners Back
Palmetto Bay homeowners replacing windows and doors have real financial incentives available, and we walk every customer through what actually applies to their house. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 in qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades – but funds are limited, and the program opens application windows periodically. Florida’s sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors reduces your upfront cost directly at checkout. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of qualifying product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units.
On the insurance side, windstorm-premium credits after a completed wind-mitigation inspection typically average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium. Your carrier sets the final number, and no one can guarantee a specific credit before the inspection is filed. We’ll help you understand which upgrades matter most for your mitigation report, because the credits are shaped by openings, roof-to-wall ties, and your roof decking.
Impact windows versus hurricane shutters? Shutters only protect when you’re home to hang them and have the physical strength to haul them into place. Impact windows are permanent protection with no panels to store, lift, or forget. And compared to a big-box retail installer, we’re a licensed impact specialist with a published address and Ed Winslow’s name on every job. You’ll never wonder who actually installed your windows.

What Palmetto Bay Customers Say
"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"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."
