If your North Miami home still has original jalousie windows or single-pane aluminum sliders from the 1960s, you already know the problem: they rattle in every thunderstorm, leak cold air into rooms that never seem to cool, and cannot be brought up to Miami-Dade hurricane code no matter what any product claims. Full replacement is the only compliant path. Winslow Windows & Doors handles that work across North Miami with impact-rated systems that carry the Miami-Dade NOA stamp, and you’ll talk to a live person whenever you call (727) 860-0593.

Why North Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Winslow Windows & Doors is owned by Ed Winslow, and Ed’s name sits on every job we complete. That’s the difference between us and the national chains that send a rotating cast of subcontractors. We’ve been at this since 2011, and the Done Right Promise backs every installation: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
We work regularly in Keystone Point and the residential streets off NE 135th Street, where older concrete-block homes need full frame replacements rather than quick insert jobs. And we answer the phone around the clock, every day of the year. No answering service call-center script. No next-business-day callback. You call, a real person picks up, and that person knows North Miami’s housing stock well enough to talk specifics before we ever send a truck.
Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking onto your property. Our published address and license number are public, like they should be.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in North Miami
Impact Windows
Laminated impact glass, Miami-Dade NOA compliance, and HVHZ ratings matched to each opening’s design pressure. We never sell a window rated above the pressure your home actually requires, because that’s money wasted. Learn more about impact windows in North Miami.
Window Installation
For North Miami’s post-war CBS ranch homes, most installations are full frame-and-rough-opening replacements. The original openings were never sized for modern impact units, so pocket and insert work often just won’t fit correctly. Learn more about window installation in North Miami.
Window Replacement
We replace jalousie, single-pane aluminum sliders, and failed double-panes throughout North Miami. The goal is always a tighter envelope and lower cooling bills, not just fresh glass. Learn more about window replacement in North Miami.
Door Installation
North Miami Door Installation for entry doors, French doors, and impact-rated side lights, installed level and weather-sealed. We carry Therma-Tru and other premium lines, set dead-on square so they close tight against South Florida humidity.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
North Miami homes built in the 1960s and 70s commonly have wide rear sliders that open to patios or yard space, which is why we specialize in North Miami Sliding Glass & Patio Doors. We replace them with impact-rated units from PGT, CGI, and CWS that glide properly and seal against wind-driven rain.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in North Miami with Low-E glass and insulated frames bring real, measurable cooling relief. Homeowners typically see 20-30% savings on cooling after replacing old single-pane units with properly sealed impact glass.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest opening on most North Miami homes, and an unbraced door is a leading cause of roof blow-off in high wind. We install Impact Garage Doors in North Miami engineered for Miami-Dade wind loads and tested to the same standards as our windows.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Half-rounds, trapezoids, ovals, and other specialty shapes. We work with ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass to fabricate units that match unusual openings on mid-century and custom North Miami builds.
Roof Repair, Roof Replacement & Installation
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing, plus targeted repairs. Windows and doors are only as good as the roof above them, and a leak at the fascia line will eventually rot the framing around your openings.
Neighborhoods We Serve in North Miami
You’ll see our trucks throughout North Miami, usually within a few hours of a call. We cover the full city, with regular work concentrated in a handful of neighborhoods:
- Keystone Point, including the canal-side streets off NE 121st and NE 126th
- The residential grid around NE 125th Street and North Miami Avenue
- Arch Creek East, near NE 135th Street and Ojus Park
- The original Cinnamon Lake area near NE 12th Avenue
- Biscayne Landing area homes along NE 15th Avenue
Why North Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
North Miami’s eastern neighborhoods sit close enough to Biscayne Bay that salt-laden air moves through everything. Aluminum frames here oxidize faster than they do inland in Hialeah or Doral. Hardware corrodes. Tracks seize. A window that would last twenty years inland may show serious frame degradation in ten near the Bay, which is why we pay close attention to frame condition on every inspection rather than just swapping glass into tired tracks.
The other North Miami reality is the housing stock itself. Most homes are modest concrete-block ranch houses built between 1952 and 1978. Their original openings were sized for jalousie windows and thin aluminum sliders that predate impact requirements entirely. That means replacement here is almost never a quick insert job. We’re pulling the old frame, opening the rough opening to modern dimensions, and setting a NOA-certified impact unit sized correctly for the wall. It’s more work, but it’s the only way to get a compliant, long-lasting result in this municipality.
And the jalousie issue is worth stating plainly: if your North Miami home still has louvered glass, there is no retrofit, film, or patch product that will make it hurricane-compliant. Miami-Dade’s building department requires full removal and replacement with a NOA-certified impact unit. We explain this to homeowners every week, usually people who have lived in their homes for decades and were told years ago that the jalousies were fine.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters
Shutters only protect you if someone is home to hang them, and panel systems require storage space most North Miami carports already lack. Impact windows protect your home around the clock, every hour of hurricane season, with zero setup. You don’t have to be in town when the storm approaches, and you don’t have to climb a ladder in wind to secure the back slider. Most homeowners who price both realize the gap isn’t as wide as they expected once installation and labor are included. And unlike shutters, impact glass keeps cooling savings and noise reduction working year-round, not just in a storm scenario.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in North Miami
Every home is different, but here’s what North Miami homeowners typically see. A single impact window replacement runs roughly $1,200 to $2,800 depending on size, frame type, and design pressure rating. Full-home impact replacement on a standard 1,400-square-foot ranch generally lands between $14,000 and $32,000. A new impact sliding glass door runs $3,500 to $7,000 installed. Impact garage doors typically start around $4,500. Entry doors run $2,000 to $5,000 depending on material and impact rating.
The free estimate is a fixed-price quote. No change orders, no surprise line items after the fact. Call (727) 860-0593, and we’ll walk the property, measure the openings, and give you exact numbers in writing before you commit. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor, plus $40 off any repair over $200 and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Florida Pays North Miami Homeowners Back
There are real incentives available right now to North Miami homeowners, and we’ll help you understand which ones apply to your property. The state’s My Safe Florida Home program provides matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which usually costs between $75 and $150, many insurers apply a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. Final numbers are set by the specific program and your carrier, not by us, so we’ll never promise a specific dollar figure until we see your property and your policy. But the stack is real, and it meaningfully reduces the net cost of impact replacement in North Miami.

What North 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"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
