If you live in North Miami, you already know the drill: jalousie windows that rattle when a garbage truck rolls down NE 125th Street, door frames swollen shut after a wet June, and an electric bill that climbs every August. Winslow Windows & Doors fixes all of it. Ed Winslow owns the company, and he’s been answering his own phone since 2011. Call (863) 862-5435 and a real person picks up, day or night. We know North Miami’s housing stock and North Miami’s code requirements. More importantly, we know what happens to aluminum frames that spent fifty years breathing Biscayne Bay salt air. Let’s talk about what’s happening at your place.

Why North Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
We are not a franchise. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, on the license, and on every job we do. When you call us about impact windows on Griffing Boulevard or a sliding glass door in Bel Aire, the person who answers understands what you’re dealing with because they’ve seen it a hundred times in this city. Every technician who arrives at your home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who is stepping onto your porch before the truck door opens.
North Miami homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they’ve been burned by vague estimates and crews that never showed. We answer with a published address, a license number you can verify, and a promise that extends a century: the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That’s not marketing language. That’s the standard Ed set when he founded this company, and it applies to every window, door, and roof project we complete in North Miami.
We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received, $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. These aren’t promotions. They’re standing commitments.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in North Miami
Impact Windows
North Miami sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every impact window we install must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows units matched to the design pressure your specific opening requires. You get permanent protection, no panels to drag out of the shed before a storm.

Window Installation
Whether you’re replacing a single failed unit or every opening in a 1963 CBS ranch, our crew handles the full installation: removal, flash, seal, trim, and haul-away. We coordinate with North Miami permitting so your NOA paperwork is solid. Done right the first time, or we come back.
Learn more about our Window Installation in North Miami.
Window Replacement
Original single-pane aluminum windows from the 1960s fail two ways in North Miami: salt air eats the frames, and hurricane code buries the jalousie design. Replacing them with energy-efficient, impact-rated units solves both problems in one project. Most replacements finish in a single day once your units arrive.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in North Miami.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, rear doors, and interior doors. We install Therma-Tru entry systems and hurricane-rated options that meet Miami-Dade requirements. North Miami’s humidity is merciless on hollow-core doors. We hang solid units that close square and stay that way.
Learn more about our door installation services by calling (863) 862-5435.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
A sliding glass door that doesn’t glide smoothly is more than annoying. In North Miami, it’s a security risk. We replace tracks, rollers, and full units, including impact-rated sliders that handle HVHZ wind loads. If your current door is original to a 1980s conversion building, replacement is usually the smarter money.
Learn more about our sliding glass and patio door options by calling (863) 862-5435.
Energy-Efficient Windows
North Miami’s cooling bills are relentless from May through October. Low-E glass and insulated frames typically cut cooling costs by 20-30% in concrete block homes like the ones that fill our neighborhoods. That’s real money back every month, and the windows qualify for federal energy tax credits.
Learn more about our energy-efficient window lineup by calling (863) 862-5435.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening in most North Miami homes, and original ones from the 1970s become projectiles in a storm. We install impact-rated garage doors engineered to Miami-Dade pressure ratings. No extra bracing kits needed when the door itself meets code.
Learn more about impact garage door installation by calling (863) 862-5435.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arched, trapezoid, oval, quarter-round: if your North Miami home has an unusual opening, we can fill it with impact-rated glass that matches the NOA requirements. Custom fabrication typically runs 4-6 weeks, but the result fits your architecture exactly.
Learn more about our custom and geometric window work by calling (863) 862-5435.
Roof Repair
We started as a roofing company, and we still repair what the wind and rain break. From missing shingles to flashing failures to tile work, our crew handles it. North Miami’s HVHZ code applies to roofs too, and we know what inspectors look for.
Learn more about our roof repair services by calling (863) 862-5435.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full tear-offs and new installs in shingle, tile, or metal. We pull permits, pass inspections, and document every layer. North Miami’s re-roofing permits routinely trigger replacement of jalousie windows, so we can bundle both scopes and save you a second mobilization.
Learn more about our roof replacement work by calling (863) 862-5435.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Every North Miami roof material has tradeoffs, and we’ll walk you through them honestly. Shingles are cost-effective, tile handles the heat, metal holds up to salt air better than either. We install all three and warranty our workmanship.
Learn more about our roofing material options by calling (863) 862-5435.

Why North Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
North Miami sits less than five miles from Biscayne Bay, and that’s the whole story for your windows and doors. Salt-laden humidity moves through this city year-round, and it is unforgiving to aluminum. Homes built between 1950 and 1975 went up with jalousie windows and hollow-core aluminum frames. Those frames now show oxidation, failed glazing seals, and corroded locking mechanisms. The window doesn’t fail in a storm. It fails slowly, over decades, and you notice it when the crank snaps or the lock won’t turn.
Then there’s the code. North Miami falls entirely within Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest hurricane-glazing jurisdiction in the country. Every replacement window and door requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Storm-shutter exemptions that work elsewhere in Florida do not eliminate the impact-glazing requirement here. If your home still has original jalousie windows, they fail current code outright. And here’s what local contractors all know: when you pull any significant permit in North Miami, the city will flag those jalousie openings. If you’re re-roofing, expect the window conversation. Our teams quote jalousie-to-impact conversions as a standard part of any major project in this city because the alternative is a work stoppage and a second permit fee.

Florida Pays North Miami Homeowners Back
The incentives stack if you plan well. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) can unlock windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your insurance. Program rules and carrier decisions determine final numbers. We’ll point you to the paperwork and the inspectors we trust in North Miami.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What North Miami Actually Needs
Shutters only help if you’re home to hang them, and they do nothing for energy efficiency or daily security. Impact windows are permanent. Laminated glass engineered to Miami-Dade NOA standards stays in the opening, takes the wind load, and protects your home whether you’re on NE 125th Street or three states away when the storm hits. They also cut noise by up to 40% and reduce cooling costs 20-30% compared to single-pane originals. We install impact windows every week in North Miami. We do not sell or install shutters. The comparison matters because the code here pushes everyone toward the stronger option anyway.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in North Miami
Yes. North Miami is entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Miami-Dade County requires every new or replacement window and door to carry a Notice of Acceptance. Products legal in Broward County often fail this standard. That’s one reason we install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows: their NOA paperwork is already in place. Call (863) 862-5435 and we’ll confirm what your specific opening requires.
Most North Miami impact window replacements run $1,800 to $3,400 per opening installed, with full-home retrofits landing between $14,000 and $28,000 depending on the number of openings and design pressures. Jalousie-to-impact conversions start around $2,200 per opening. Those are written, fixed prices, not estimates with fine print. Call (863) 862-5435 for a free line-item quote on your home.
Very often, yes. North Miami permit inspectors routinely flag original jalousie window openings during re-roofing or addition permits, and Miami-Dade code requires replacement with NOA-approved impact units. We bundle window conversion into roofing and addition projects specifically so you don’t get surprised by a work stoppage. Call (863) 862-5435 before you file, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Most replacement windows and doors are fully installed in one day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication, like geometric windows or nonstandard finishes, typically runs 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. We’ll give you a written schedule before work starts, and we’ll stick to it. Call (863) 862-5435 to check current lead times.
Many North Miami homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy after a wind-mitigation inspection. The inspection costs $75 to $150 and documents your openings. Every carrier calculates credits differently, so we can’t guarantee a number, but we’ll connect you with inspectors who know exactly what insurers require. Call (863) 862-5435 to ask about the process for your home.

What North Miami 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."
