Winslow Windows & Doors handles all of it for North Miami homeowners. We’re Ed Winslow’s crew, locally owned and owner-operated since 2011, with a live person answering the phone every time you call (239) 310-4121.

Why North Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
North Miami isn’t a market for generic window installers. Between the HVHZ requirements, the aging concrete block stock, and the salt that eats unprotected aluminum frames alive, this city punishes companies that cut corners and rewards shops that do the paperwork right the first time. That’s exactly why homeowners here keep our number on the fridge.
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. No franchise. No rotating sub-crews. Every tech is background-checked, uniformed, and answers to Ed directly. If something isn’t done right, the Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. Period. That’s a lasting standard, and it’s in writing.
We’ve replaced original jalousies on stately carved-CBS homes in Keystone Point and pulled old non-NOA windows off canal-front properties near North Miami’s eastern edge, where the salt haze off Biscayne Bay corrodes hardware faster than anywhere inland. In neighborhoods like Arch Creek East and Biscayne Park-adjacent blocks along NE 125th Street, residents tell us the same thing: they want one call, one crew, one name that stands behind the work. That’s what we deliver.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in North Miami
Impact Windows
Impact windows are our flagship line in North Miami, plain and simple. Every unit we install carries the Miami-Dade NOA for its specific configuration, matching design pressures to each opening. Laminated glass, stainless hardware, and aluminum or vinyl frames built for the HVHZ wind zone on your street. In a city where most original windows are single-pane aluminum from the 1960s, an NOA-approved upgrade isn’t a luxury. It’s the only legal path to a permit today. Learn more about our Impact Windows in North Miami.
Window Installation
Installing a new window in North Miami usually means modifying the rough opening first. Those old jalousie units, with their louvered frames, don’t match the dimensions of any modern NOA-approved window. We do the framing, flashing, and finish work that turns a 1965 opening into a clean, code-compliant set. Learn more about our Window Installation in North Miami.
Window Replacement
A North Miami replacement almost always starts with tear-out and disposal of the original unit, plus rough-opening correction. We handle the full sequence: permit, demo, frame prep, install, and finish. If a previous owner put in Florida-approved, non-NOA windows, we’ll flag it before the inspector does and build the fix into your quote. Learn more about our Window Replacement in North Miami.
Door Installation
Entry doors in North Miami take a beating from salt, storms, and decades of settling in concrete block walls. We install impact-rated entry doors from Therma-Tru and others, with thresholds and hardware sized for the HVHZ wind loads on your street. A front door that seals tight matters here. It also has to hold up in a category storm. Both are doable without compromising how the home looks.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliders are the weak point in most mid-century North Miami homes. Single-track aluminum frames, fogged glass, rollers that grind to a halt. We replace them with impact-rated sliding doors from PGT and CGI, fitted to the existing opening or expanded for a wider pass-through. Same-day function comes back, and the door actually passes inspection afterward.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Here’s the honest math: on a concrete block home with single-pane originals, replacing those windows can cut cooling use by around 20-30%. Low-E coatings and insulated frames do the heavy lifting. That’s not a guarantee, but it’s a realistic range we’ve seen on North Miami CBS homes after full replacements. The federal 25C credit may also cover up to $600 per year on qualifying units.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage is often the largest opening on the house, and in a hurricane, it’s the first thing to fail. We install impact-rated garage doors that carry their own NOA paperwork, so the whole opening is protected, not just the windows. North Miami’s older homes rarely have anything close to current code on the garage.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some North Miami homes, especially the custom-built sets on the canal-lined streets off NE 135th, have openings that don’t match any stock size. We install geometric and custom-shaped windows from ECO Window Systems. If the opening exists, we can get it glazed and approved. Full stop.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors share an envelope with the roof, and water doesn’t care which one it enters through. We do roof repairs on North Miami homes, from missed shingles to flashing failures around skylights and chimney bases. A leak showing up at a window sill is often a roof problem traveling down the wall. We solve both.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in North Miami means working to HVHZ uplift ratings and Miami-Dade product approval, same as the windows. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems that meet current code, with permits pulled and inspections passed. One crew, one owner, one name on both the roof and the windows.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
North Miami’s housing mix calls for all three: asphalt shingles on the 1950s ranches, barrel tile on the later CBS builds, and standing seam metal on a growing number of modern replacements. We install all three types and match the profile to the neighborhood. Tile roofs, common near the Arch Creek corridor, need to be tied down to current code, not the standard that was fine in 1972.

Why North Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
North Miami sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind standard in the country. Every replacement window or door here has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptability for its exact configuration. That’s not a county recommendation. It’s a permit condition. No NOA, no passing inspection, no closing. Homes built between 1950 and 1975 dominate the city’s residential fabric, and most still have their original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows. Those old louvered units don’t meet current wind-load or missile-impact thresholds, and their non-standard openings usually need custom framing before any approved unit can go in. That’s the work we do every week. We’ve also seen the flip side of this: homeowners who previously bought Florida-approved windows from out of county, thinking they were covered. Florida statewide approval is not the same as a Miami-Dade NOA, and when a permit gets pulled today, those windows often have to come out. If you’re in North Miami, the paperwork matters as much as the glass.
Florida Pays North Miami Homeowners Back
Here’s what’s actually on the table for North Miami homeowners, straight and without hype:
- My Safe Florida Home: matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. The program runs in cycles, so funding availability shifts. We help with the paperwork but don’t control the approvals.
- Florida sales-tax exemption: impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax. That’s a real, immediate discount at the point of sale.
- Federal 25C energy credit: up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units, including windows and doors. It’s a tax credit, meaning you claim it when you file.
- Windstorm premium credits: after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), many insurers apply credits to the windstorm portion of the policy. We commonly see averages around 25%, but your carrier sets the final number.
Impact windows versus shutters: shutters work if you’re home to hang them, and they do nothing for the 364 days a year you’re not under a warning. Impact windows protect your home permanently, no panels to haul out of the garage in August. That’s the comparison that matters in North Miami, where storm prep and daily security are the same thing.

How It Works: Windows & Doors in North Miami
The process starts with a phone call to (239) 310-4121. Ed or a team member answers directly. No call centers, no voicemail tree. We schedule a walkthrough, measure every opening, document the existing conditions, and check the NOA and pressure rating each opening needs. Then you get a line-item written quote, not a number scrawled on a business card. Once you approve, permits get pulled, the units are ordered, and install is scheduled. Custom fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks. For stock sizes, installation can happen as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Inspections are scheduled and passed before we call the job done.
A quick note on safety: old jalousie windows and their frames are heavier than they look, and removal without proper support is genuinely dangerous. Impact glass and large sliders are also unforgiving at the wrong angle. This is not a DIY project. Leave the demo and heavy lifting to trained pros with the right equipment.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in North Miami
How much does impact window replacement cost in North Miami?
A single impact window in North Miami typically costs $1,800 to $3,400 installed, and a full replacement on an older CBS home usually runs $22,000 to $48,000 depending on the number of openings and sizes. Custom geometry and extensive rough-opening framing push the number higher. Call (239) 310-4121 for a written, line-item quote, free of charge.
Do all windows and doors in North Miami need a Miami-Dade NOA?
Yes. North Miami is entirely inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and any permitted replacement window or door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptability for that specific configuration. Florida statewide approval does not satisfy the building official. We pull the permits and match the NOA to each opening.
Can you fix an old jalousie window instead of replacing it?
We can do minor repairs, but here’s the practical reality: jalousie units in North Miami don’t meet current HVHZ wind or missile standards, and a meaningful repair often costs close to a replacement without solving the compliance problem. Most homeowners replace them with NOA-approved impact units and never look back. We’ll give you an honest comparison before you spend a dime.
Will the price change once the work starts?
No. We write fixed, line-item quotes, and there are no change orders. If unexpected conditions show up after demo, Ed discusses the findings with you before any dollar moves, and the original quote stands for everything that was quoted. That’s the Winslow way, and it’s why North Miami homeowners call us back.
How long does a full window replacement take in North Miami?
Custom fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks. Once your units arrive, installation on most North Miami homes can be done in a single day for stock sizes, or spread across a few days depending on the count. Weather and permit scheduling both factor in. We’ll give you a clear timeline when the order is placed. Call (239) 310-4121 to schedule your free estimate.

What North Miami Customers Say
"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
- Yolanda Betancourt"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."
- Odessa Fairbanks"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
