Why Coral Gables Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
We’ve worked on homes in Hammock Oaks and the Biltmore area where the window openings were cut by masons in the 1930s, and no two were exactly alike. That’s the kind of job where a national chain’s standard-size approach falls apart. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening individually, and we order custom-radius units when the arch doesn’t match a stock profile. Coral Gables residents also tell us they appreciate the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Ed Winslow makes it right, period. No ticket numbers, no voicemail loops. You call, someone answers, and the owner of the company stands behind the work.
We’re a locally owned, owner-operated company that has been serving South Florida since 2011, with a published address and license number you can look up before we ever set foot on your property. Coral Gables homeowners routinely hire us for a second opinion after receiving vague estimates from other contractors. That second opinion is free, and we’ll walk you through exactly what the Board of Architects will ask for before you spend a dollar on product.

Impact Windows
Laminated impact glass, Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval per configuration, and HVHZ compliance where Coral Gables wind zone rules require it. Design pressures are matched to each opening, never a rating above +/-100. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Coral Gables.

Installation in Coral Gables means working with CBS walls, coral rock foundations, and historic window openings that rarely accept a stock unit. We measure, order, and install with the Board of Architects process in mind from day one. Learn more about our Window Installation in Coral Gables.
Window Replacement
We replace windows in Mediterranean Revival homes, mid-century ranches, and newer construction across Coral Gables, from Riviera to Sunrise Harbor. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Coral Gables.
Door Installation
Coral Gables Door Installation for front doors, French doors, and custom entry systems, installed with impact-rated frames and hardware that hold up to salt air from Biscayne Bay. We install Therma-Tru entry doors alongside impact-rated options.

Why Coral Gables’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Coral Gables sits roughly two miles from Biscayne Bay, squarely inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every window and door opening requires impact-rated glazing. No shutter-only compliance exists here the way it does in some inland counties. The salt-laden air off the bay also accelerates galvanic corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware, which is why frame material selection and thermal breaks matter more here than in a city twenty miles inland.
Then there’s the housing stock. George Merrick’s 1920s-1950s Mediterranean Revival homes use CBS construction with oolitic limestone foundations and arched window and door openings that almost never match a manufacturer’s stock arch radius. A contractor who quotes standard lead times on an arched opening will blow the schedule, because custom-radius impact units typically run 10-16 weeks from order to delivery. We tell Coral Gables homeowners this upfront and pad the schedule accordingly. That transparency is part of how we earn the trust of people who’ve been burned by vague estimates before.
The Board of Architects review adds another layer. Before a permit is issued, exterior window and door replacements must demonstrate that the new products replicate the Mediterranean Revival aesthetic: arched profiles, simulated divided lights, specific frame finishes. Winslow handles that documentation. We’ve shepherded dozens of Coral Gables applications through the Board, and we know what the reviewers look for.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Coral Gables
Impact windows in Coral Gables generally run $900 to $1,800 per opening installed, depending on size, frame material, and whether the unit is custom-radius. Standard rectangular windows in aluminum frames fall at the lower end; custom arch PVC or thermally broken aluminum units land at the top. Door installations run $1,200 to $4,500 for entry doors and $2,500 to $7,000 for sliding glass or patio door systems. Custom geometric windows add 30-50% over standard sizing. Every quote is line-itemed, and the price doesn’t change once work starts. Call (727) 860-0593 for an exact quote: estimates are free.

Florida Pays Coral Gables Homeowners Back
Florida’s incentive stack is worth knowing before you start a window or door project in Coral Gables. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. The state 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 a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many homeowners also see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Program rules and carrier decisions set the final numbers, so we’ll point you to the right resources and let the numbers speak for themselves.
Impact Windows or Hurricane Shutters in Coral Gables?
Shutters require someone to hang panels before every storm, and if you’re not home when a watch is issued, the house sits unprotected. Impact windows are always on. They look like normal windows, block 40% of outside noise, and many Coral Gables homeowners say they forget they’re even there until a storm approaches and there’s nothing to bolt up. Big-box retail installers sell impact windows off a shelf. We order for your specific opening, your specific arch radius, and your specific Board of Architects requirements. That’s the difference between a product and a solution.

What Coral Gables 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"The old aluminium sliders howled every afternoon storm and swelter came straight through the glass. The new impact sliders shut with a sound like a bank vault and the back rooms finally hold their temperature."
- Percival Whitcombe
