AfterWindows & Doors Services in Miami, FL
Replacing windows and doors in Miami isn’t like doing it anywhere else in Florida. The High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, salt-driven corrosion, and concrete-block construction mean every product and installation method has to be chosen with this city’s specific conditions in mind. Winslow Windows & Doors handles it all: impact windows, door installation, sliding glass doors, energy-efficient upgrades, and full roof work, with crews that know Miami-Dade permitting inside and out. We answer our phones around the clock at (850) 721-1218, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. Our home page has more on how we work.

Why Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Miami homeowners tend to ask harder questions than most, and that’s fair. They’ve sat through vague estimates, waited on crews that never showed, and watched warranties disappear when the company changed its phone number. That’s precisely why Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his own name on it. We’re locally owned with a published address and license number, not a shell corporation with a call center in another state.
Every technician who arrives at a home in Coconut Grove or Kendall is background-checked and in uniform, so you know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. Homeowners in Little Havana and Brickell regularly tell us the same thing: they called at an odd hour, a live person answered, and the estimate they got was the price they paid. That’s the job. The Done Right Promise backs every installation and repair – if it’s not done right, we make it right, period.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami
Miami’s building code doesn’t allow for shortcuts, and neither do we. Here’s the full scope of what we install and repair across Miami-Dade, with the specifics that matter for this climate and this housing stock.
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship product line for Miami homes, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass, Miami-Dade NOA compliance, and HVHZ-rated frames protect your home year-round. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Miami.
Window Installation
Installing windows into CBS concrete block requires anchors and buck depths that match the product’s NOA exactly. Our crews carry laminated NOA documents on every truck because Miami inspectors check. Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami.
Window Replacement
Those original jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum sliders from the 1970s and 1980s are a major source of leaks, drafts, and failed wind-mitigation inspections. We replace them with sealed, impact-rated units sized precisely for your openings. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami.
Door Installation
Miami Door Installation for entry doors, French doors, and side-light configurations needs more than a pretty slab – they need wind-rated hardware and weatherstripping that holds up to salt humidity. We install Therma-Tru doors with hardware and seals rated for marine environments.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Miami Sliding Glass & Patio Doors are the weak point in many Miami homes, especially older aluminum sliders. We install impact-rated sliders with interlocking profiles and reinforced tracks that keep water and wind where they belong.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and insulated glazing matter in a city where the UV index tops 10 most of the year. Energy-Efficient Windows in Miami can cut cooling load by 20-30% in a typical home, and the federal 25C credit applies to qualifying units.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door that fails in a storm can pressurize your entire house and blow the roof off. Impact Garage Doors in Miami with reinforced tracks and wind-rated panels are code-required for many replacements.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Archtops, trapezoids, radius windows, and other specialty shapes require custom fabrication and exact rough-opening measurements. We work with Mr-Glass for custom configurations that still meet Miami-Dade NOA standards.
Roof Repair
Roof leaks and storm damage don’t wait for business hours. Our roof repair crews handle emergency calls across Miami with the same live-answer phone line.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Miami-Dade means hurricane straps, secondary water barriers, and a close-out inspection that passes the first time. We pull permits and stand behind the work.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Each roofing system has different wind-uplift ratings and installation requirements in the HVHZ. We install all three types with the specific fastening patterns Miami-Dade requires.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami
Our crews work throughout Miami-Dade, and we know the housing stock in each area’s specific challenges. Typical response time anywhere in the county is same-day or next-day for estimates, and emergency calls get priority.
- Brickell – high-rise curtain-wall replacements and condo impact window upgrades
- Coconut Grove – older wood-frame and CBS homes needing full window and door retrofits
- Little Havana – pre-1992 homes with original jalousie windows, a common replacement target
- Edgewater – 1970s-1980s concrete towers with aging aluminum storefront systems
- Kendall – suburban single-family homes needing impact garage doors and full replacements
Why Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami-Dade County sits inside the federally designated High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the only jurisdiction in the country that requires every replacement window and door to carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA). That’s a more rigorous product certification than the standard Florida Product Approval used 40 miles north in Palm Beach County. No window or door can be legally permitted in Miami without that NOA stamp, which removes entire product lines that are perfectly legal elsewhere.
Then there’s the housing stock itself. Most Miami homes are CBS, concrete block structure, not wood-framed. That means window and door anchors must embed into masonry with specific depths, spacing, and edge distances. Many pre-1992 homes in Hialeah, Little Havana, and Miami Gardens still have the original jalousie or single-pane aluminum sliders from before post-Andrew impact codes, and those are the units inspectors flag first.
Salt-laden humidity from Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic accelerates galvanic corrosion in aluminum frames and degrades neoprene glazing seals within years, not decades. Hardware and weatherstripping here need AAMA marine-environment ratings, which would be overkill in an inland Florida city but are non-negotiable in Miami. When 90°F-plus heat, UV above 10, and afternoon convective rainstorms cycle daily, thermal expansion stresses any installation anchor that isn’t placed exactly to spec.
Here’s the granular part most contractors don’t mention: a Miami-Dade inspector can reject an installation if the installer can’t produce the physical NOA document on-site and prove that installed buck depth, anchor spacing, and edge distance match what that NOA specifies. A single anchor placed a quarter-inch outside the approved pattern is a failed inspection and a pull-and-reset. Experienced local crews keep laminated NOA copies in every truck for exactly this reason.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami
Miami pricing reflects the cost of NOA-compliant products, concrete-block anchoring, and permit fees. Here’s what homeowners can expect as of 2025:
- Impact window (standard single-hung, NOA-rated): $850-$1,400 per unit, installed
- Impact sliding glass door (6-foot, NOA-rated): $3,200-$5,800 installed

Florida Pays Miami Homeowners Back
Miami homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that can significantly offset window and door replacement costs. My Safe Florida Home matching grants provide up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75-$150, most Miami homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by around 25% on the windstorm portion. Programs and carriers set final numbers, so we help you confirm eligibility before you commit to anything.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami
Impact windows protect your home permanently, with no panels to drag out of the garage and hang before every storm warning. Shutters only work when someone’s home to deploy them. Impact windows also reduce noise by up to 40% and cut cooling costs year-round, which shutters can’t do. For many Miami homeowners, the windstorm premium credit alone makes impact windows the better financial decision over time. Call (850) 721-1218 for a free estimate.

What Miami Customers Say
"We sat out a hurricane behind the windows Ed put in. The gusts threw a neighbour's trampoline down the street and the loudest thing in our house was the kettle. I rang him after to say thank you and he answered his own phone, same as always."
- Thaddeus Okonkwo"He replaced the front door and the garage door in the same week, both rated for impact, and lined the frames up so straight my level had nothing to say. My wife stopped hearing the highway from the front room."
- Maximilian Vasquez"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."
