If your Miami Gardens home still has its original jalousie windows or hollow-core front door, you’re living with a problem that gets more expensive every hurricane season. Most homes here were built between the 1950s and early 1970s, long before Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code existed, and those original aluminum frames are now the weakest point in your house. Winslow Windows & Doors replaces them with our Door Installation in Miami Gardens and NOA-approved impact units that actually meet the code Miami Gardens enforces today. Call (727) 860-0593 and a real person answers, day or night.

Why Miami Gardens Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 with a simple rule: put your name on the work, and treat every call like it’s from a neighbor. That’s why we publish our address and license number, why our technicians arrive in uniform with background checks already completed, and why our phone rings to a live person 24 hours a day. No call centers. No voicemail loops. When a homeowner in Bunche Park calls about a leaking sliding door at 7 p.m. on a Tuesday, they talk to someone who can actually help.
We’ve replaced windows and doors throughout Andover, Norwood, and the neighborhoods along NW 27th Avenue and Miami Gardens Drive. Those jobs taught us the local housing stock: single-story CBS homes with concrete-block openings that don’t forgive sloppy measurements. Our installers know exactly what they’re walking into before the first cut, because they’ve done this work on the same streets their customers live on.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s a 100-year standard, and Ed’s name is on it.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami Gardens
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Miami Gardens because this city sits entirely inside the HVHZ. Every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval, with laminated impact glass and design pressures matched to each opening. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Miami Gardens.
Window Installation
We handle full tear-outs of original aluminum frames, concrete-cut rough-opening work for jalousie conversions, and precise setting of new units in CBS walls. The installation is where the product either holds up or fails, and we don’t cut corners on anchoring or sealant. Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami Gardens.
Window Replacement
If your frames are corroded from salt air, your glass is single-pane, or your insurance carrier is asking for documented impact glazing, replacement usually beats repair. We walk you through what gets replaced, what gets reused, and what the finished opening will look like. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami Gardens.
Door Installation
A louvered wood entry door from 1965 is not protecting your home from wind, water, or intruders. We install Therma-Tru and other authorized-brand entry doors, plus impact-rated garage doors, sized and anchored for Miami Gardens wind loads.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliders are the most common failure point we see in Miami Gardens homes. Old tracks corrode, rollers seize, and the panels bow under wind pressure. We replace them with our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Miami Gardens, impact-rated sliders that glide properly and seal tight.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Upgrading from single-pane originals to Energy-Efficient Windows in Miami Gardens typically cuts cooling load by up to 30% in a CBS home. That’s a real difference on a July afternoon in Miami Gardens when the sun has been baking your west wall since noon.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in your home, and if it fails during a storm, your roof goes next. We install Impact Garage Doors - Miami Gardens braced for the local wind zone, with reinforced tracks and panels tested to HVHZ standards.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Not every opening in a 1960s CBS home is a standard rectangle. We order custom sizes and geometric shapes, including arched and trapezoid units, fabricated to match Miami-Dade NOA requirements for your specific configuration.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors are only as good as the roof above them. We repair leaks, replace damaged sections, and address the flashing issues that let water migrate down into window headers and door frames.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a roof has reached the end of its service life, we replace it with materials suited to South Florida’s climate: high heat, high humidity, and hurricane-force wind. Permits pulled, inspections passed, everything documented.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We install all three major roofing types common in Miami Gardens, with installation methods matched to what your existing structure can support and what your insurance carrier expects.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami Gardens
Our crews work throughout Miami Gardens, and we typically reach any home in the city within the same day for an estimate. We’re familiar with the specific lot patterns, block configurations, and CBS construction found across the city.

Why Miami Gardens’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami Gardens sits wholly inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That’s not a suggestion. It’s a product-approval standard stricter than anywhere else in the country, and the city’s dense inventory of pre-1992 CBS homes built before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the code makes it unavoidable. The vast majority of our Miami Gardens jobs involve full tear-out of original non-impact aluminum frames and installation of NOA-approved impact units, a mandatory upgrade now being accelerated by insurance carriers threatening non-renewal on homes without documented impact glazing.
The housing stock here creates a specific challenge most homeowners don’t expect. Jalousie windows, those louvered glass-crank units found in pre-1970 Miami Gardens bedrooms and bathrooms, are expressly prohibited under current HVHZ code. Replacing them means chipping out the original frame pocket from the CBS masonry wall and reforming the rough opening before any new unit can be set. It’s a concrete-cutting step that surprises homeowners expecting a simple frame swap, and it substantially increases labor cost on what looks like a routine window job. We quote this work accurately upfront so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Salt-laden air from Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic, combined with South Florida’s intense UV radiation, accelerates oxidation on aluminum window frames faster than inland markets see. Hardware corrodes, frames pit, and seals fail. Selecting marine-grade hardware and proper NOA-rated materials isn’t a preference in Miami Gardens. It’s what keeps a window functional past the five-year mark.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami Gardens
Window and door pricing in Miami Gardens depends heavily on the opening type. Jalousie conversions cost more than standard frame swaps because of the concrete work involved. A standard impact window replacement on a CBS home typically runs $800-$1,400 per opening, installed, while jalousie tear-outs with rough-opening reformation usually fall between $1,200 and $2,000 per opening. Impact doors, including sliders and entry doors, generally range from $2,500 to $6,500 depending on size, configuration, and wind-load rating. Every estimate is line-itemed and fixed. No change orders at the end of the job.
We offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (727) 860-0593 for an exact quote.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Miami Gardens
Shutters only work if someone is home to hang them, and if you’ve ever wrestled with a corroded steel panel while a hurricane warning is active, you know that’s not a plan. Impact windows protect your home permanently, with no panels to haul out of the garage, no tracks to maintain, and no 45-minute installation scramble when a storm turns toward South Florida. They also add resale value and can reduce windstorm premiums. Shutters don’t.
Florida Pays Miami Gardens Homeowners Back
Several programs can put money back in your pocket when you install impact windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection (which typically costs $75-$150), many Miami Gardens homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Final numbers are set by the programs and your carrier, and we’ll help you understand what your specific home qualifies for.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami Gardens
Yes. Miami Gardens is entirely inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every replacement window and door installed in the city must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. There’s no legal workaround, and unapproved units will fail insurance inspections and likely fail in a storm. Call (727) 860-0593 and we’ll show you the approval documents for your specific configuration before you sign anything.
Jalousie conversions typically run $1,200-$2,000 per opening because the original frame pocket must be chipped out of the CBS masonry wall and the rough opening reformed before a new impact unit can be set. That’s a labor-intensive step most homeowners don’t know about until they get quotes. Call (727) 860-0593 for a line-itemed estimate that accounts for the concrete work honestly, rather than surprising you later.
In most cases, yes. Insurance carriers in South Florida increasingly require documented impact glazing as a condition of policy renewal, and a wind-mitigation inspection showing NOA-approved impact windows and doors is exactly what they’re looking for. We’ll provide the product approval documentation you need to submit. Call (727) 860-0593 to discuss your timeline.
No. Our estimates are fixed and line-itemed, and we don’t issue change orders for conditions we could have seen during the estimate. If we discover something unexpected inside the wall, we discuss it with you before any additional work proceeds, and you approve it in writing first. That’s how Ed Winslow runs his company.
Once your custom units arrive, most whole-home window replacements are completed as fast as a single day. Custom fabrication typically runs 4-6 weeks from order to delivery, depending on the manufacturer and configuration. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job.
Yes. Every installation that requires a permit gets one, and every inspection gets scheduled and passed before we call the job complete. Miami Gardens enforces the Florida Building Code with HVHZ amendments, and we don’t cut corners on paperwork any more than we cut corners on installation. Call (727) 860-0593 and we’ll walk you through what your project needs.

What Miami Gardens 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
