AfterCasement Windows in Westchester, FL
Casement windows in Westchester, FL typically cost between $350 and $950 per window installed, depending on size, glass package, and whether impact-rated glazing is required. Most jobs we complete in a single day, and every installation comes backed by our Done Right Promise – if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right, no arguments.
At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve been installing casement windows in Westchester and the surrounding Miami-Dade communities since 2011. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. If you’re replacing drafty, dated units or building new and want the best ventilation and outward swing a window can offer, call us at (850) 721-1218 – a live person answers every call, around the clock. For the full picture of what we offer in the area, visit our Window Installation in Westchester page.
Casement windows hinge at the side and crank outward, which gives them a tighter seal when closed than most double-hung alternatives. In Westchester’s humid subtropical climate, that seal matters. It keeps conditioned air in, keeps moisture-laden outside air out, and reduces the load on your AC system month after month. Add impact-rated laminated glass and you’ve got a window that handles South Florida’s hurricane season without flinching.
When You Need Casement Windows
- Your current windows leak air or water around the frame. In Westchester, the combination of intense summer heat and seasonal storm pressure causes older aluminum frames to warp and gap. A casement window’s compression seal closes tight against the frame every time you crank it shut – no gaps, no whistling, no water intrusion at the corners.
- You’re upgrading for hurricane protection. Miami-Dade County requires impact-rated glazing on any new or replacement window installation. Impact-rated casement windows from brands like ES Windows and ECO Window Systems meet Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) standards, so your permit closes cleanly and your insurer stays happy.
- Your energy bills have crept up year over year. Single-pane aluminum windows – still common in older Westchester homes built in the 1960s and 70s – transfer heat directly into your living space. Low-E, argon-filled casement glass cuts solar heat gain dramatically. Many homeowners in the Bird Road corridor report meaningful drops in their FPL bills after replacement.
- You want maximum cross-ventilation. Casement windows open the full width of the frame, unlike single-hung windows that only open halfway. In Westchester neighborhoods like Fontainebleau, where homes sit close together and natural airflow can be limited, that extra ventilation matters on mild days when you’d rather not run the air conditioning.
- Your frames are visibly corroding or painted shut. Older jalousie and aluminum slider windows in this part of Miami-Dade corrode aggressively from salt-laden air. If your windows haven’t opened in years – or they’ve been painted shut by a previous owner – it’s time to replace, not repair.
- You’re adding a room or finishing a garage conversion. Westchester sees a steady number of addition projects and garage-to-living-space conversions. Code requires compliant egress windows in habitable rooms, and a properly sized casement window is one of the cleanest ways to meet that requirement while keeping the look consistent with the rest of the house.
Our Casement Windows Process
- Free in-home measurement and estimate. We send a background-checked, uniformed technician to your Westchester home – no trip charge for jobs in our home county. They measure every opening precisely, assess the existing frame condition, and talk through glass options (standard, impact-laminated, Low-E, tinted) with you face to face. You’ll have a written, line-item price before we leave. No vague ballpark figures that balloon later.
- Product selection and permit pulling. Once you approve the estimate, we help you select the right product for your budget and opening – whether that’s an ECO Window Systems casement for a mid-range renovation or an ES Windows impact casement for a full home re-window. We pull all required Miami-Dade building permits on your behalf. You don’t chase paperwork.
- Pre-installation prep and site protection. On install day, our crew protects interior flooring and furniture near each opening. We remove the existing window unit carefully, assess the rough opening for rot, corrosion, or moisture damage, and address any issues before the new frame goes in. Skipping this step is how callbacks happen – we don’t skip it.
- Frame installation and shimming. The new casement frame is set level, plumb, and square in the opening, shimmed to manufacturer spec, and fastened into the structural framing – not just the drywall or stucco. Proper attachment matters especially in Westchester, where hurricane-wind loads are a real engineering consideration, not a theoretical one.
- Sealing and finishing. We apply low-expansion foam between the frame and the rough opening, followed by exterior-grade caulk at every seam. Interior trim is reinstalled or replaced to match. The finished product looks like it was always there – clean lines, no gaps, no raw foam visible.
- Final inspection and walkthrough. We crank every window through its full range, check the latch, verify the seal, and walk through the job with you before we pack up. Your permit inspection is scheduled, and we’re available to meet the inspector if you’d like. Once the inspector signs off, the job is closed – and our Done Right Promise starts the clock.
Casement Windows Pricing in Westchester
Casement window installation in Westchester, FL runs roughly $350 to $950 per window, all-in. That range covers a lot of ground, so here’s what actually drives the cost:
| Window Type | Installed Price Range (per window) |
|---|---|
| Standard single casement, non-impact, vinyl frame | $350 – $520 |
| Impact-rated casement, laminated glass, vinyl or aluminum | $520 – $750 |
| Large or custom-size impact casement (36″ x 48″ and up) | $700 – $950 |
| Permit fee (Miami-Dade, per project – not per window) | Varies by scope – we pull it for you |
A few things that move the number up or down:
- Window size: A narrow bathroom casement costs less than a large kitchen unit. We measure every opening individually.
- Frame material: Vinyl frames cost less upfront and resist salt-air corrosion well. Aluminum frames are slimmer for a more modern look and carry a slight premium.
- Glass package: Impact-laminated glass is the most common upgrade in Westchester because of the hurricane code requirement and the insurance discount it can generate. Low-E coatings add a modest cost but typically pay back in reduced cooling bills.
- Condition of the existing opening: If we find rot, corrosion, or structural damage in the rough opening, we address it before installing – that’s extra labor, but ignoring it would mean redoing the job in two years.
- Project volume: Replacing multiple windows in one visit reduces per-unit cost. A full home re-window is almost always more cost-effective than replacing one window at a time.
We offer upfront pricing with no surprises on the invoice. If you’re a senior or a veteran, our permanent 10% discount applies automatically. Any repair or modification over $200 gets $40 off. And if you’ve already got a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion – no obligation, no sales pressure.
Call (850) 721-1218 to schedule your free in-home estimate. We don’t charge a trip fee for Westchester homes.
Why Westchester Homeowners Choose Winslow
Westchester sits in the heart of Miami-Dade, roughly bounded by Bird Road to the north, SW 8th Street to the south, and the Florida Turnpike to the east. It’s a neighborhood of solid CBS (concrete block and stucco) homes, many built between 1950 and 1985, with original aluminum windows that have reached the end of their service life. For homeowners considering Garden Windows or other styles, we can help find the right fit. We’ve worked on dozens of these homes – we know what the rough openings typically look like, we know what the permit office needs, and we know which Miami-Dade NOA numbers inspectors check for casement installations.
We’re not a national chain with a regional office somewhere up in Broward. Winslow Windows & Doors is locally owned by Ed Winslow, with a published address and license number – full transparency, no shell companies. Ed has been working this market since 2011 and knows the difference between what sells in a glossy brochure and what holds up through a Category 3 storm making landfall near Homestead. That local knowledge isn’t something you get from a call center.
We’re an authorized installer for ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, both of which produce casement lines tested and approved to Miami-Dade standards. When you see a product come off our truck, you know it’s the real thing – not a gray-market unit that’ll fail a permit inspection.
And when you call us at any hour – 2 a.m. the night before an inspection, Saturday morning with a question about crank hardware – a live person picks up. No voicemail loops. No “we’ll get back to you next business day.” Someone answers, because that’s how Ed built this company.
Our Done Right Promise is the other thing that sets us apart. That’s 100 years expressed in days – a deliberately excessive number that communicates one thing clearly: we stand behind our work for as long as it matters. No national installer makes a promise like that, because no national installer is personally accountable the way a local owner is.

FAQs – Casement Windows in Westchester, FL
How much do casement windows cost in Westchester?
Casement window installation in Westchester runs between $350 and $950 per window, depending on size, frame material, and glass package. Impact-rated units with laminated glass – the most common choice here given Miami-Dade’s hurricane code requirements – typically fall in the $520 to $750 range for a standard single window. We also install Horizontal Roller Windows for openings where a different operating style works better. A full free estimate with exact, line-item pricing is available at no charge and with no trip fee. Call (850) 721-1218 to schedule.
Are impact casement windows required in Westchester, FL?
Yes, Miami-Dade County requires impact-rated or storm-shuttered windows on all new and replacement window installations in Westchester. Casement windows with laminated impact glass carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) numbers that your building inspector will verify. We install products that meet this standard and pull all permits ourselves, so the inspection process is straightforward. If you’re unsure whether your current windows comply, call us – we’ll take a look and tell you exactly where you stand.
How long does casement window installation take?
Most casement window installations in Westchester take one day. A full home re-window – typically 8 to 15 windows in the CBS homes common to this area – usually runs one to two days. We give you a specific timeline when we write the estimate, not a vague “one to three days” window. The permit inspection happens after install and is typically scheduled within a week of job completion; we can meet the inspector on your behalf if needed.
Can casement windows be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes, yes. Faulty crank mechanisms, worn seals, and broken hardware can often be repaired at far less cost than replacement. But if the frame itself is corroded, the glass is cracked, or the unit is single-pane aluminum that doesn’t meet current code, repair isn’t worth the money – replacement is the right call. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in when we assess the window in person. We’re not in the business of selling replacements to people who only need a $120 repair. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll come take a look.
What brands do you install for casement windows in Westchester?
We’re authorized installers for several product lines, and for casement windows in Westchester we most often work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems – both of which are Miami-Dade NOA-approved and well-suited to South Florida’s climate and code requirements. For fixed openings where ventilation isn’t needed, we also offer Picture & Fixed Windows. Mr-Glass is another option we carry for specific applications. We’ll recommend the right product for your opening, your budget, and your timeline – not whichever one has the best margin for us that week.
Ready to get started? Call (850) 721-1218 any time – day or night, a real person will answer.
