We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve built our entire Miami Beach operation around one promise: Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Call (863) 862-5435 and a real person picks up, day or night.

Why Miami Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Since 2011, Ed Winslow has run this company as the alternative to the big-box installers and faceless chains that hand you a ticket number instead of an owner’s word. We’re locally owned, owner-operated, and we publish our address and license number. That’s not a marketing line, it’s a fact you can check before we ever step foot in your building.
South Beach and Mid-Beach homeowners call us because we’ve navigated the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board’s review queue more times than most contractors have pulled permits in other cities. North Beach residents call us because we understand what two-sided salt exposure does to aluminum frames and what it takes to keep them operating smoothly for decades. Every Winslow technician arrives background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck door even opens.
Our standing guarantees aren’t seasonal promotions. You’ll get $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge anywhere in Miami Beach, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. And behind every installation stands the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right, period.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami Beach
Impact Windows
Miami Beach sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We install laminated impact glass from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, matched to the exact design pressure rating each opening requires. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Miami Beach.
Window Installation
Every window we install is specified for its specific opening, flashings included, with no generic catalog shortcuts. That matters more in Miami Beach than almost anywhere, where frame profiles often must match original Art Deco or MiMo details approved by the HPB. Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami Beach.
Window Replacement
Those single-pane aluminum frames and jalousie windows in a 1930s South Beach building aren’t just drafty, they’re non-compliant with HVHZ impact standards. We replace them with custom-profile impact units that satisfy both the building official and the Historic Preservation Board. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami Beach.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, balcony doors, and service doors all face the same two-sided salt assault here. We install Therma-Tru and impact-rated door systems engineered for coastal exposure, with frames and hardware that won’t seize up after two seasons of sea air.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
High-rise balcony sliders and ground-floor patio doors are among the most vulnerable openings in any Miami Beach building. We install impact-rated sliding systems that glide smoothly and meet Miami-Dade NOA requirements for every configuration we specify.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Impact glass does double duty here: it protects the opening and cuts cooling costs by blocking a significant share of solar heat gain. Expect meaningful cooling reductions as high as 20 to 30 percent depending on your current glazing, orientation, and exposure.
Impact Garage Doors
A non-rated garage door is a structural weak point in a hurricane. We install reinforced impact garage doors built to hold their ground during high-wind events, protecting vehicles, storage, and whatever else sits behind them.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Art Deco circles, MiMo eyebrows, radius corners, custom mullion patterns, and other non-rectangular openings require hand-specified impact units. We handle the full custom fabrication pipeline, from field measure to HPB-ready shop drawings to final install.
Roof Repair
Salt, wind, and monsoon rain wear on every roof in Miami Beach. We handle repairs on shingle, tile, and metal systems, matching materials and profiles so the fix doesn’t look like a patch.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Whether you’re replacing an aging roof outright or installing a new one as part of a renovation, we pull the permits, meet the wind-load requirements, and stand behind the finished work with the same Done Right Promise we put on windows and doors.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Each roof type has its own Miami Beach fingerprints: tile needs the right profile and anchorage, metal needs marine-grade finishes, and shingles need proper underlayment for this wind zone. We install all three, correctly, the first time.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami Beach
Our crews work every part of Miami Beach, from the southern tip of South of Fifth up through Mid-Beach and into the family-heavy blocks of North Beach. We routinely service:
- South Beach / SoFi: Art Deco high-rises and 1920s courtyard buildings with serious HPB oversight
- Mid-Beach: MiMo hotels and condo towers along Collins Avenue lined with original jalousie windows
- North Beach: mid-century buildings and single-family homes near the 41st Street corridor
- Bayshore / Normandy Isles: waterfront and inland homes on the bay side of the island
From initial call to on-site estimate, you can typically expect us to be in your neighborhood within a day or two of contacting us. The historic review queue is a different story, and we’ll walk you through that timeline honestly.
Why Miami Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami Beach is a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and Biscayne Bay on the other. That means your windows and doors are being hit by salt-laden air from two directions simultaneously, which degrades aluminum frames, corrodes weep holes and sill hardware, and shortens the life of ordinary insulating glass seals measurably faster than mainland locations just a few miles across the causeway. Marine-grade anodized or Kynar-coated frames aren’t an upsell here, they’re what makes any installation survive the island environment.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. This city is dominated by 1920s through 1940s Art Deco buildings in South Beach and 1950s and 1960s Miami Modern structures in Mid- and North Beach, a huge percentage of which still carry original single-pane aluminum frames or jalousie louvered windows. Those windows are entirely non-compliant with HVHZ impact standards, and replacing them almost always involves either a Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board Certificate of Appropriateness, a Miami-Dade NOA pull, or both. That’s the reality most contractors who work standard Miami-Dade permitting never deal with until they take a job on the Beach.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami Beach
Honest pricing starts with knowing that impact window replacement in Miami Beach runs from roughly $900 to $1,600 per opening for standard sizes and from $1,500 to $3,000-plus per opening when custom Art Deco or MiMo profiles and HPB-approved configurations are required. Sliding glass door replacements typically run $2,500 to $6,000 depending on size and design pressure. Standard front door replacements start near $1,800, while impact-rated entry systems with side lites can run $4,000 to $8,000. Every quote is a written line item, priced up front with no change orders unless the scope actually changes.

Florida Pays Miami Beach Homeowners Back
There’s real money available for the upgrades you’re considering. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, including impact windows and doors. Florida has also exempted impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax in certain periods, and the federal 25C energy credit can return up to 30 percent of product cost on qualifying units, capped at $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150, many Miami Beach homeowners see windstorm-premium reductions averaging roughly 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t control the programs and we won’t guarantee a dollar amount, but we’ll point you to the right paperwork and documentation every time.
One more thing worth understanding: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for most Miami Beach homeowners. Shutters only protect you when someone is home to wrestle panels into place, and they add zero thermal or acoustic value the other 364 days a year. Impact glass is permanent protection, installed once, working every episode, even when you’re not on the island. And we never sell shutters, so this isn’t a pitch, it’s just the comparison we give every homeowner who asks.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami Beach
Yes, every replacement window and door in Miami Beach must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, because the entire city sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Standard products sold elsewhere in Florida are illegal here. If a bid doesn’t include NOA documentation for each opening, walk away. Call (863) 862-5435 and we’ll show you exactly what compliant paperwork looks like.
A Certificate of Appropriateness through the HPB can add four to six weeks to your timeline, longer if revisions are requested. South Beach and Mid-Beach buildings with contributing historic status trigger an HPB review before a permit can even be pulled. We handle the drawings, the documentation, and the submittal for you, and we’ll map the whole schedule before we ever order units.
Miami Beach sits between the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay, so salt-laden air hits your frames from two sides at once. That two-sided salt exposure degrades standard aluminum frames, weep holes, and hardware measurably faster than mainland Miami locations. Marine-grade anodized or Kynar-coated frames are the functional answer, not an optional upgrade. Call (863) 862-5435 for a free estimate on coastal-grade replacements.
Yes, jalousie windows offer near-zero energy performance, and replacing them with impact-rated units can cut cooling costs by as much as 20 to 30 percent depending on your unit’s orientation and exposure. The hurricane protection is the headline benefit, but the electric bill often notices the change within the first summer.
We pull every permit, including the HPB Certificate of Appropriateness where required, and we don’t start work until the approvals are in hand. We also schedule and pass the inspections. If the permit process scares a contractor off, that’s not someone you want working on a Miami Beach building anyway. Call (863) 862-5435 for an exact quote, estimates are always free.

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"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."
