Replacing windows or doors in Westchester is rarely a casual project. Between the post-WWII CBS construction, Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, and insurance inspectors who read every wind-mitigation report line by line, the details matter more here than they do almost anywhere else in Florida. If you’re reading this because a jalousie window got flagged, an aluminum slider won’t seal, or your front door no longer closes square, you’re in the right place. Call (863) 862-5435 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail tree, who can talk about what your specific Westchester home actually needs.
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, owned by Ed Winslow and serving Westchester with impact windows, door installation, and full exterior protection. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, and our crews work throughout Westchester on a regular basis.

Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westchester
Westchester homes tend to need specific things. Here’s what we handle most often, from full impact conversions on original CBS ranch houses to door replacements that finally seal out humidity and sound.
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the heart of what we do in Westchester. Laminated glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval per configuration, HVHZ-compliant where code requires, and design pressures matched to each opening. We install PGT and CWS lines, among others. These are products built to take a direct hit and stay in the frame.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in Westchester.
Window Installation
Westchester’s concrete block homes require anchoring frames into solid CBS, not wood rough openings. Our crews know how to fasten and seal correctly for hurricane winds and salt-heavy humidity. We pull the permits, schedule inspections, and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to guess at compliance.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Westchester.
Window Replacement
If your home still has single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows, you’re losing energy every month and may be flagged on your insurance inspection. Replacing them with code-compliant, impact-rated units is the most common project we do in Westchester. We’ll replace room by room or whole house, with options for every opening type.

Door Installation
From front entry doors to back and side doors, a properly installed door in Westchester keeps out wind, water, and pests. We install Therma-Tru and other impact-rated doors, hung square and sealed correctly on the first trip. If your door sticks or gaps around the frame, that’s a sign the original install wasn’t done for Florida conditions.
Learn more about our door installation options for Westchester homes.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliding glass doors are a Westchester staple, especially on homes with Florida rooms or direct patio access. We replace old, corroded aluminum sliders with new impact-rated sliders that glide smoothly and resist wind-driven rain. Rollers, tracks, locking hardware, and glass packages all considered for your specific opening.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Westchester’s summer sun and humidity push old windows to their limit. Our energy-efficient options typically reduce cooling loads by 20-30% in this climate, depending on glass package and orientation. Low-E coatings and gas fills make a measurable difference on CBS homes that hold heat.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the single largest opening in many Westchester homes, and a non-impact garage door is a liability during a wind event. We install impact garage doors that meet Miami-Dade requirements and keep your house envelope protected. This is not a cosmetic upgrade; it’s structural protection.
Custom & Geometric Windows
CBS homes sometimes have odd-sized or shaped openings, especially in the older ranch styles. We order and install custom and geometric windows matched to your exact rough opening, impact-rated and NOA-approved. No one-off opening is too unusual for us to source a compliant unit.
Roof Repair
Westchester’s roof lines take full Atlantic exposure during hurricane season. From missing shingles and cracked tile to rusted metal roof seams, we’ll repair the damage correctly. It’s the same company for windows, doors, and roof, which means one accountable team for your whole exterior.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When repair isn’t enough, we replace shingle, tile, and metal roofs throughout Westchester. Proper underlayment and code-compliant fastening matter more in the HVHZ than anywhere else. We pull permits, pass inspections, and stand behind the finished product.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Each roofing material has its place in Westchester’s climate. Shingle is economical and common, tile suits the traditional Florida aesthetic, and metal handles the wind and rain with exceptional durability. We install all three, with transparent pricing on every line.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westchester
Our work takes us across Westchester’s residential grid, from the shaded streets near Tropical Park to the dense blocks along Bird Road and the quieter pockets around Coral Way. We work in all of Westchester, but here are just a few areas where we’ve completed recent window and door projects:
- Westchester Garden Apartments area
- Neighborhoods around Tropical Park
- Streets north of Calle Ocho
- The residential blocks along Bird Road
- Areas near Coral Way and the Westchester border
Typical response time for estimates in Westchester is fast, and we can usually schedule your walkthrough within a few days of your call, sometimes sooner.
Why Westchester’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westchester is a dense pocket of post-WWII CBS ranch homes, most built between the 1950s and 1970s. These are concrete block and stucco houses, and they predate Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone impact codes by decades. Nearly every window and door replacement here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), a stricter standard than anywhere outside the HVHZ. That single fact shapes every conversation we have with Westchester homeowners. Code-compliant impact upgrades aren’t optional upgrades; they’re the legal baseline, and the dominant sales conversation in this specific ZIP.
There’s no way to talk about Westchester windows and doors honestly without mentioning jalousie glass. Those louvered windows, still common on carports, Florida rooms, and bathroom openings across the neighborhood, are an automatic red flag. Miami-Dade inspectors note them on wind-mitigation reports, and insurers increasingly refuse to credit or renew policies when they’re present. Jalousie-to-impact-slider conversions are among the most common urgent calls we get from Westchester residents, right alongside original aluminum sliders that no longer seal against salt-heavy humidity.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Westchester
Pricing here depends on openings, product, and the amount of CBS anchoring work required. Here’s what Westchester homeowners can generally expect, based on recent jobs we’ve priced:
| Service | Typical Price Range in Westchester |
|---|---|
| Impact window (standard size, per unit) | $950 - $2,200 installed |
| Jalousie-to-impact-slider conversion | $1,800 - $3,600 per opening |
| Sliding glass door (impact, standard track) | $3,500 - $6,000 installed |
| Entry door (impact-rated, Therma-Tru or similar) | $2,800 - $5,500 installed |
| Full-home window replacement (3/2 CBS ranch) | $12,000 - $28,000 before credits |
| Repair (typical window or door repair) | $180 - $550, with $40 off over $200 |
We write line-item quotes with fixed pricing. If a job exceeds $200, remember the $40 discount applies. No trip charge inside the home county means you can get a real number without spending money first.
Florida Pays Westchester Homeowners Back
The incentives stack, and Westchester residents should know exactly what’s available. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (running $75-$150), many carriers credit roughly 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium. Programs and carrier terms set final numbers, but these figures are widely reported. Call us at (863) 862-5435 and we’ll help you understand which credits likely apply to your Westchester project.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Westchester Homeowners Should Know
Some Westchester homeowners weigh impact windows against shutters. We don’t sell or install shutters, so here’s the honest comparison. Shutters require someone to put them up and take them down, every storm, on every opening. If you’re away from home when a storm turns, they may never get deployed. Impact windows work permanently, with no panels to store, no tracks to maintain, and no muscle required at 6 p.m. before a tropical system makes landfall. They also reduce outside noise, up to 40% with quality laminated glass, and improve energy efficiency by 20-30% on cooling in this climate. Shutters do neither. Impact windows are built into the home, and they pass inspections automatically because they’re sealed and anchored at installation. The premium you pay is real, but it’s matched by insurance credits, resale value, and not having to board up in the dark.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westchester
Window replacement in Westchester typically runs $950 to $2,200 per impact window installed, with full-home projects on 3/2 CBS ranch homes usually landing between $12,000 and $28,000 before Florida credits and grants. Your specific price depends on opening sizes, anchoring work, and glass package. Call (863) 862-5435 for an exact quote, and remember estimates are free.
Yes. Nearly every window and door replacement in Westchester must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance because the area sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Installing non-compliant products creates permit problems and insurance gaps. We only install NOA-approved, HVHZ-compliant units, and we pull permits and pass inspections on every job.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common projects we handle in Westchester. Jalousie windows on carports, Florida rooms, and baths are red flags for Miami-Dade inspectors and insurance carriers, so converting them to impact sliders solves compliance, security, and resale issues in one project. Pricing depends on the opening, but we’ll write a fixed line-item quote before work begins. Call (863) 862-5435 to schedule a walkthrough.
No. We quote fixed pricing with no change orders, unless you change the scope of work yourself. Every detail is written down before we start, including materials, labor, permits, and anchoring. Ed Winslow’s 36500-Day Done Right Promise also applies: if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right, at no additional cost.
Standard window replacement can be done as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication usually runs 4-6 weeks from order. Impact doors and full-home packages take longer based on the number of openings, and roofs follow their own schedule. Call (863) 862-5435 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific Westchester home during the free estimate.

What Westchester 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"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
