AfterTrusted Window Replacement for Miami Homeowners
Window replacement in Miami is not a cosmetic upgrade. It is the single highest-return investment you can make in a home that faces hurricane-force wind, salt air, and 90-degree humidity for nine months of the year. A typical full-home window replacement in Miami runs $8,500-$22,000 depending on window count, frame material, and whether you choose impact-rated glass, and most projects are installed within 2-4 weeks of ordering. Ed Winslow founded Winslow Windows & Doors in 2011, and since then we have replaced windows in thousands of Miami homes, from 1950s ranches in Coral Gables to high-rise condos in Brickell. When you call (863) 862-5435, a live person answers, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center. A neighbor who knows Miami construction.
What Our Window Replacement Service Includes
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means we remove the entire existing window down to the rough opening: frame, sash, trim, and all. This is the right call when frames are rotted from Miami’s humidity, when you want to change window size or shape, or when an old aluminum frame from the 1960s has corroded to the point of no return. Our crew replaces everything with a new, properly flashed and sealed unit, built to Miami-Dade County code. The result is a window that actually meets current wind-load requirements instead of pretending to.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement, sometimes called pocket replacement, fits a new window into your existing, structurally sound frame. This costs less than full frame replacement and takes less time, usually one to two days for a handful of windows. It works well in Miami homes where the original wood or aluminum frames are still true and square, and where the homeowner wants better energy performance without opening up interior walls and exterior stucco. We will tell you honestly if inserts are a good option for your home, or if we think full frame is the smarter long-term investment.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl replacement windows are the most popular choice in Miami because vinyl holds up to salt air, never needs painting, and delivers excellent thermal performance at a mid-range price. A typical vinyl replacement window for a Miami home runs $400-$900 per unit installed, depending on size and glass package. We install vinyl windows from PGT and ViewLux, both Florida-based manufacturers who understand exactly what a window has to survive on this coastline. Vinyl is not the right choice for every home, but for most Miami single-family houses, it is the smartest balance of cost, durability, and energy savings.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Miami homeowners spend more on air conditioning than almost anyone in the continental United States. Old single-pane windows and failed double-pane seals are a major reason why. An energy-efficient upgrade means Low-E glass coatings that reject solar heat, argon gas fills between panes, and frames with thermal breaks that stop heat transfer. Florida Power & Light offers rebates and incentives for qualifying high-efficiency window replacements, and we can help you understand what your project qualifies for. The average Miami homeowner sees a noticeable drop in cooling costs within the first summer after replacing 20-year-old windows with modern energy-certified units.
Window Maintenance & Care
New windows also need periodic care, especially in Miami’s salt air. We provide full maintenance services after replacement: track cleaning, roller replacement, weather-stripping renewal, caulking, and drainage-channel clearing. For homeowners with crank-outs, sliders, or casement windows near the water, we recommend an annual maintenance check to keep salt deposits from compromising seals and hardware. Every replacement we install comes with our care recommendations specific to your window type and your distance from salt water. We would rather you call us for a 30-minute maintenance visit than find out about a failed seal two years after the fact.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement
Our team installs PGT windows more than any other brand, and for good reason. PGT is a Florida company headquartered in Venice, built specifically around the hurricane codes that govern Miami. We have installed thousands of PGT WinGuard impact windows in Miami, Hialeah, and Miami Beach, and our crews know the product line down to the specific structural mullion packages required on waterfront homes.
For homeowners who want a premium vinyl or aluminum option, we carry ViewLux and CGI. CGI is a Miami-Dade staple for high-end aluminum impact windows, and ViewLux offers some of the best energy ratings in the vinyl category. We are an authorized installer for both. Whether you have an existing PGT window that needs matching, a CGI product that needs a warranty replacement, or a quote from another installer for ViewLux that you want a second opinion on, we can help. If you have any other brand entirely, we can help with that too.
Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now
- Condensation between the panes. That fog you cannot wipe away means the seal between the glass layers has failed. Once the seal is gone, the window’s insulating gas escapes and your home loses its thermal barrier. On Miami’s humid mornings, a failed seal also invites mold to form between the glass, which no cleaning can reach.
- Windows that stick, jam, or refuse to stay open. A window that will not open is a safety hazard in an emergency. A window that will not stay open is a daily frustration. Both are signs of frame warping, failed balancers, or years of salt-air corrosion on the hardware.
- Drafts you can feel with your hand. Hold your palm an inch from the window edge on a hot afternoon. If you feel cold air leaking from the A/C, or hot air pushing in, the weather stripping or the frame itself is compromised. In Miami, that translates directly to higher cooling bills and a strained HVAC system.
- Rattling when the wind blows. Miami gets thunderstorms that shake poorly anchored windows. A rattle means the window is loose in its frame or the frame is loose in the rough opening. Both will only get worse with hurricane-season gusts and repeated daily thermal expansion.
- Visible rot, rust, or blistering paint on frames. Salt air accelerates corrosion on aluminum, and Miami humidity accelerates rot on wood. Once the structural member of the frame fails, the window cannot be repaired with caulk or paint. Replacement is the only honest fix.
Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step
Step 1: Free on-site estimate. Call (863) 862-5435 and we schedule a time that works for you. Ed or a senior technician comes out, measures every window, inspects the existing frames and openings, and walks the house with you. You get a written, line-item quote before we leave or within 24 hours, with a price that does not change after the fact. No trip charge inside the home county, and if you already have a written estimate from another company, we will give you a free second opinion on it.
Step 2: Product selection and ordering. We review the quote together, and you choose your glass package, frame material, and finish. We handle the ordering from PGT, CGI, CWS, or ViewLux directly, and we verify every measurement before the order is submitted. Lead times in Miami typically run two to four weeks depending on the manufacturer and whether the windows are custom-sized.
Step 3: Permits and code compliance. Miami-Dade County has some of the strictest building codes in the country, and most window replacement projects require a permit. We pull the permit, file the notice of commencement if required, and our work is inspected and passed. We would never install a replacement window that does not meet current wind-load and impact requirements for your specific location. A neighbor who skips the permit is selling you a future disclosure problem when you sell the home.
Step 4: Installation day. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive on time and start by protecting the interior of your home. We remove old windows carefully, inspect the rough opening, replace any damaged framing or flashing, and install the new units in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and Miami-Dade code. Most homes in Miami are done in three to five working days depending on window count and whether full frame replacement is involved.
Step 5: Cleanup, walkthrough, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. We haul away every old window, every scrap of metal and glass, and leave the property clean. Then we walk the house with you, open and close every window, and make sure you know how to operate and care for the new units. If anything is not done right, we come back and make it right. That promise is in writing and it lasts 36,500 days from the date of installation. That is 100 years. We do not know of another window company in Miami willing to put that in writing.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Miami?
A typical vinyl insert replacement in Miami runs $500-$900 per window installed, while full frame replacement runs $900-$1,800 per window depending on size, glass package, and accessibility. Impact-rated windows, which many Miami homeowners choose for the hurricane protection and insurance benefits, run $1,000-$2,500 per unit installed. A full-home project for a typical 3-bedroom Miami house averages $12,000-$18,000 for 12-15 windows with impact glass. The main factors that move the price are window size, frame material, whether you choose standard or impact-rated glass, and the condition of the rough openings once we open the wall. We give you a written, line-item quote before any work begins, and the price does not change once we start. Call (863) 862-5435 for an exact quote on your home. Estimates are free, and there is no trip charge inside the home county.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Replacement in Miami
Window replacement means removing your existing windows and installing new ones that meet current energy and building code standards. It can be done as a full frame replacement, where everything down to the rough opening is replaced, or as an insert replacement, where a new window is fitted into your existing frame. In Miami, window replacement often means upgrading to impact-rated glass that can withstand hurricane debris. The goal is to improve energy efficiency, storm protection, and the long-term value of your home.
Most window replacement projects in Miami are installed in three to five working days once the windows arrive from the manufacturer. Product lead times typically run two to four weeks depending on the brand and whether the windows are custom-sized. A small job of five windows or fewer can often be done in one or two days. We will give you a firm schedule before you sign, and we show up when we say we will. Call (863) 862-5435 for a timeline specific to your home.

Our crews know the PGT product line, including WinGuard impact windows and the EnergyVue series, down to the specific mounting and mulling requirements for Miami-Dade’s high-velocity hurricane zones.

We can board up the opening securely and schedule the replacement promptly so your home is not left vulnerable.
Every window we install carries the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand and product line. On top of that, every job is backed by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not done right, we come back and make it right, period. That promise covers our installation workmanship for 36,500 days from the date the job is finished. If you ever have an issue with a window we installed, call (863) 862-5435 and you will reach a live person, not a warranty department.
Before installation day, clear a workspace around each window, move furniture at least three feet from the walls, and remove curtains, blinds, and wall hangings near the windows. If you have plants or outdoor furniture beneath your windows, move those too. Our techs protect your flooring and furniture during the job, and we haul away every old window and piece of debris. It is helpful to have a clear path from the entry door to the work areas so our crew can move efficiently without disturbing the rest of your home.
