Westchester homeowners need windows and doors that can take a hurricane and still look sharp on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Why Westchester Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011 because he wanted a business where accountability wasn’t a marketing slogan. That’s why the 36500-Day Done Right Promise exists: if the work isn’t done right, we make it right, period. It’s a century-long standard of accountability that no national chain can touch.
Homeowners in Westchester neighborhoods like Olympia Heights and Bird Road Gardens call us because we publish our address and license number openly, send background-checked technicians in uniform to every job, and answer the phone at 2 a.m. when a storm is forming in the Atlantic. You’ll know exactly who’s at your door before the truck pulls up.
We’re authorized installers for CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which means the products we install carry the engineering credentials Westchester’s building department demands. But more than the brands, it’s the ownership that matters. When something goes sideways, you call Ed. Not a ticket number.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westchester
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Westchester homes. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval per configuration, design pressures matched to each opening, and HVHZ compliance where your wind zone requires it. No shutters to hang, no plywood to store, no scrambling when a storm watch goes up.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in Westchester.
Window Installation
We remove old jalousie or aluminum-frame units and install new windows that pass Miami-Dade rough inspection the first time. Our crews know what Westchester inspectors check, because we’ve done this here for years.

Window Replacement
Most Westchester homes built in the 1950s and 1960s still have original single-pane aluminum windows, or worse, jalousies. We replace them with impact-rated or energy-efficient units sized to your existing CBS openings.

Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and utility doors get the same impact treatment. We install Therma-Tru and other authorized brands, and every door gets a design-pressure rating that matches its exposure.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Florida-room additions and enclosed carports in Westchester often have non-impact sliding glass panels. We replace them with impact-rated sliders that keep the natural light and add real wind protection.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Miami-Dade’s heat and humidity demand more than impact ratings. Low-E glass and insulated frames cut cooling loads by 20-30% on typical Westchester ranch homes, and the federal 25C credit can claw back some of the cost.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in your home’s wind envelope. We install impact garage doors rated for HVHZ design pressures, so that big door doesn’t become the failure point during a storm.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Hexagons, arches, trapezoids, circles. If your Westchester home has an unusual opening, we can fabricate a custom impact-rated window to fit it exactly.
Roof Repair
Your roof and your windows protect the same structure. We repair shingle, tile, and metal roofs across Westchester, and we coordinate window and roof work so the envelope is sealed properly.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement with shingle, tile, or metal systems, installed to Miami-Dade code. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and stand behind the work.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Whether you’re replacing a low-pitched ranch roof or repairing barrel tile on a Coral Way home, we handle all three roof types commonly found in Westchester.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westchester
We work throughout Westchester, including the blocks along Bird Road and Coral Way. Here are a few of the areas where you’ll see our trucks most often:
- Olympia Heights
- Bird Road Gardens
- Westchester Park
- Tropical Estates
- Riviera Westchester
Typical response time for an estimate or service call in Westchester is fast, because our crews are local to Miami-Dade and know the streets without GPS.
Why Westchester’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westchester sits squarely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most stringent wind-code region in the state. Every window and door replacement here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Not a Florida statewide product approval. An NOA. That’s a higher bar, tested for large-missile impact at HVHZ wind speeds, and it’s not required even one county north in Broward.
Now layer in the housing stock. Westchester developed rapidly in the late 1950s through the 1970s as a middle-class suburb of Miami, producing block after block of single-story CBS ranch homes with low-pitched roofs and aluminum-frame windows. Many of those homes still have original louvered jalousie units. Jalousies offer zero impact resistance, leak conditioned air constantly, and are effectively uninsurable under current carrier standards. When homeowners ask why their insurance premium keeps climbing, a jalousie window is often part of the answer.
Then there’s the climate itself. Miami-Dade’s extreme heat, near-100% summer humidity, and salt-laden air from the coast corrode standard aluminum frames within a few years. Afternoon thunderstorms driving water sideways against west-facing facades, common in Westchester’s grid of east-west streets, accelerate seal failure on older or non-impact units. The windows and doors we install here are chosen specifically to survive that combination: laminated impact glass, corrosion-resistant frames, and seals built for sideways rain.

Florida Pays Westchester Homeowners Back
Florida actually helps cover the cost of impact upgrades, and Westchester homeowners can stack several programs. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units.
Then there’s the insurance piece. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150, many Westchester homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on average. That’s a recurring savings, not a one-time rebate. But no guarantees, because programs and insurance carriers set the final numbers. We’ll tell you what to expect, not what to hope for.
A quick comparison we’re often asked about: impact windows vs. hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but they only work if someone is home to hang them, they require storage, and they do nothing for energy efficiency or noise. Impact windows are permanent, passive protection. You do nothing when a storm approaches. The protection is already installed, sealed, and rated. We don’t sell shutters, but we’ll gladly explain the trade-off.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westchester
A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is a product approval certifying that a specific window or door configuration passed large-missile impact testing at HVHZ wind speeds. Without it, your Westchester rough inspection will fail and the unit will have to be removed. We only install NOA-approved products here, and we pull permits and pass inspections on every job. Call (863) 946-5039 if you’re not sure what your current windows carry.
A full-house impact window replacement for a typical 1950s or 1960s CBS ranch in Westchester runs roughly $12,000 to $28,000 depending on the number of openings, window sizes, and whether you need custom fabrication. A single standard-size impact window typically falls between $900 and $1,800 installed. Your best next step is a free, written estimate. Call (863) 946-5039 and we’ll give you exact numbers for your house.
No. Our quotes are written, line-item, and fixed. If we find something hidden during installation, we show you exactly what we found and what it costs before any additional work happens. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice unless you change the scope. That’s the Winslow standard, and Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Call (863) 946-5039 to get your fixed-price estimate.
Once your units arrive, installation is as fast as a single day for most Westchester homes. Custom fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks before installation. Standard-size units move faster. We’ll give you a clear timeline when we deliver your estimate, and we’ll update you if anything changes. Call (863) 946-5039 to get started.
Many insurers now refuse to write new policies on homes with jalousie windows, or they price the windstorm portion so high the policy becomes impractical. Replacing jalousies with NOA-approved impact windows often unlocks wind mitigation credits and brings renewals back within reach. We replace jalousies across Westchester regularly, and we’ll walk you through what your carrier will want to see. Call (863) 946-5039 for a free estimate.

What Westchester Customers Say
"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"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"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."
