Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Miami’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We’re not a national chain subbing out installs to whoever picks up the phone. Winslow Windows & Doors has been installing impact-rated openings since 2011, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. Homeowners in North Miami call us because we actually understand what Miami-Dade’s NOA system demands, and we’ve pulled enough permits on 1950s and 60s CBS homes to know exactly where the inspector will look.
Every technician who arrives at your North Miami door is background-checked, uniformed, and has the credentials to match the opening before a single screw goes in. If you’ve been burned by a vague estimate or a no-show crew, that matters. We publish our license number and our address. Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no call centers.
Our Impact Windows team has replaced hundreds of jalousie and single-pane aluminum units in this city, including canal-front homes where salt corrosion has eaten the original frames. We know which openings will need custom buck sizing before the old window even comes out. That’s the kind of local knowledge you don’t get from a big-box installer with a ticket number.
Our Impact Windows Services in North Miami
NOA-Certified Impact Window Replacement for 1950s-1970s CBS Openings
Most of North Miami’s residential core is concrete block construction built between the late 1940s and the 1970s. Those openings weren’t framed for modern impact units. We handle the masonry prep, custom buck sizing, and anchoring patterns that Miami-Dade inspectors require on retrofit work – and we document every step so the permit closes clean. If you live north of NE 125th Street or in the blocks around Griffing Boulevard, you’re looking at exactly this kind of opening.
Large-Missile Impact Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Canal-front and bay-facing homes in North Miami need large-missile-rated doors, not the small-missile ratings you can get away with further inland. We custom-size the masonry buck, anchor to the CBS surround, and install doors that carry an HVHZ large-missile rating with a Miami-Dade NOA. On a recent job in Keystone Point, our crew removed a 1968 aluminum slider where years of brackish canal air had swollen the frame and sealed the weep holes shut. Extraction took two hours because the original frame had corroded into the block. An out-of-area flat-rate quote had severely underpriced the job; we sized it honestly from the start.
Hurricane Impact Window Retrofit and Wind Mitigation Documentation
Insurance carriers in Florida are non-renewing policies on homes without impact-rated openings. After we install, we provide the documentation package that a wind-mitigation inspector needs to certify the upgrade – product approvals, NOA numbers, installation photos, and anchoring details. The inspection itself typically runs $75 to $150, and the windstorm premium credit averages around 25% on the windstorm portion. We don’t file the insurance paperwork for you, but we hand you everything the inspector will ask for.
Whole-Home Impact Packages on North Miami’s Older Housing Stock
Replacing every opening at once is often cheaper per unit than doing them piecemeal, especially on 3/2 CBS ranches common in neighborhoods like Arch Creek East and Sans Souci Estates. Whole-home packages in North Miami generally run $8,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on opening count, second-story access, and how much masonry prep each opening needs. We give you one written quote with every line item priced, no change orders mid-job.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Miami
We’re an authorized installer for ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass, and we regularly specify these lines for North Miami homes because they carry Miami-Dade NOAs across a wide range of sizes and anchoring patterns. That matters when your opening is a non-standard 1950s jalousie rough-in. We also service and replace existing PGT and CGI units throughout the city, including Therma-Tru entry doors. Because we stock fasteners, shims, and buck materials sized for CBS work, we can move faster on North Miami retrofits than crews driving in from out of town.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in North Miami Homes
- Jalousie windows original to 1950s-60s construction. These glass slats leak air and water constantly, and they have zero impact rating. Most insurance carriers won’t even acknowledge them as a window for wind-mitigation purposes.
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames within two to three miles of Biscayne Bay. North Miami sits squarely in the salt-corrosion zone. Non-marine-grade frames oxidize, weep holes clog, and hardware binds within three to five years. We specify marine-grade finishes for this city.
- Failed permits from Florida Product Approval-only units. We see this regularly: a homeowner or a Broward-based contractor installs a window with only Florida Product Approval. North Miami inspectors reject it, the permit fails, and the opening is uninsurable until it’s redone with a NOA-carrying product.
- Retrofit windows that don’t seat properly in CBS openings. Without custom buck sizing and masonry prep, a new impact unit won’t seal against a 1950s block surround. Air and water intrusion follow, and the wind-mitigation credit gets denied on inspection.
Pricing for Impact Windows in North Miami, FL
Impact windows in North Miami run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard sizes. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800 depending on frame material and design pressure. Large or custom openings – picture windows, oversized sliders, geometric shapes – land between $2,500 and $5,000 each. Whole-home packages on a typical 3/2 CBS home range from $8,000 to $25,000 or more.
What moves the price in North Miami specifically: opening count, floor height, wind zone (most of the city is in the HVHZ), and how much masonry prep each CBS opening requires. A jalousie removal with custom buck work costs more than a straight swap. Call (727) 483-7883 for a free in-home measure and a written quote with every line priced before you sign anything.
What Impact Windows Costs in North Miami
Let’s be direct about numbers, because vague pricing is how homeowners get burned. A standard impact window in North Miami, installed with permit and NOA documentation, runs $800 to $1,500. Single-hung impact units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings – picture windows, oversized sliders, geometric shapes – run $2,500 to $5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages on the CBS homes that dominate North Miami’s residential streets run $8,000 to $25,000 or more.
What actually moves the price: how many openings, what wind zone you’re in (most of North Miami is high-velocity hurricane zone), floor height (second-story work costs more), and what the existing frame looks like. A 1960s jalousie rough-in needs more prep than a newer framed opening. Custom fabrication runs four to six weeks; once your units arrive, standard installs are done in as fast as a single day. Call (727) 483-7883 to schedule a free in-home measure and written line-item quote.
Florida Pays You Back

And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), most North Miami homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We can’t guarantee what your carrier will approve – those numbers are set by the state and your insurer – but the documentation we provide is exactly what inspectors and underwriters expect.

FAQs - Impact Windows in North Miami
North Miami is entirely within Miami-Dade County, and Miami-Dade operates its own product-approval system – the Notice of Acceptance – that is stricter and independently tested, unlike the Florida Product Approval accepted in neighboring Broward County. Every impact window or door installed in North Miami must carry a Miami-Dade NOA number specific to the exact size, frame material, and anchoring pattern, or the city won’t sign off the permit. A unit with only Florida Product Approval will fail inspection and leave you with an uninsurable opening. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll verify NOA compliance for your exact openings before any order is placed.
Yes, retrofitting is standard work on North Miami’s 1950s-to-1970s CBS homes. We remove the jalousie assembly, size a custom masonry buck to the existing rough opening, anchor it into the block surround, and install the impact unit with NOA-matched anchoring. No reconstruction required. The prep work is heavier than a framed-wall install, which is why you want a crew that does this weekly, not a flat-rate crew seeing it for the first time. For an exact quote on your openings, call (727) 483-7883.
North Miami sits roughly two to three miles west of the Atlantic and bordered by Biscayne Bay, so frames and hardware here take salt exposure that inland cities never see. Non-marine-grade aluminum frames oxidize, weep holes clog, and weatherstripping degrades within three to five years. We specify marine-grade finishes and stainless steel hardware for coastal-zone openings, and we stock those components so replacements don’t mean week-long waits. If you’re dealing with corroded frames now, call (727) 483-7883 for an assessment.
It can, and for many North Miami homeowners the windstorm premium credit averages around 25% on the windstorm portion after a wind-mitigation inspection documents impact-rated openings. The inspection costs $75 to $150, and the carrier sets the final credit. What we provide is the documentation package – NOA numbers, installation photos, anchoring details – that inspectors and underwriters require. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll walk you through what your home needs to qualify.
Keystone Point and other canal-front or bay-facing areas in North Miami sit in the high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ), where windows and doors must carry a large-missile rating with design pressures matched to the specific opening’s size, floor height, and exposure category. Most canal-front openings in this area require large-missile-rated units; small-missile ratings won’t pass. We match every unit’s design pressure to the exact opening and the latest code, never above +/-100, and the NOA number must correspond to that configuration. For a free site assessment of your canal-front home, call (727) 483-7883.
