AfterWindows & Doors Before & After in Miami Springs, FL
We can talk about impact ratings and energy codes until we’re blue in the face, but nothing tells the story like seeing what a house looked like the day we pulled up versus the day we drove away. These are real jobs from around Miami Springs and the surrounding neighborhoods. No stock photos. No renderings. Just the kind of transformations we’ve been doing since 2011.
Recent Transformations
Single-Pane to Impact Windows on a 1960s Miami Springs Ranch
The homeowner had been patching her original jalousie windows with duct tape for two hurricane seasons running. The frames were so warped that half the panes wouldn’t close flush, and the house bled cool air like a cracked aquarium. We pulled everything out down to the rough opening, squared up the frames, and installed PGT impact windows throughout the front elevation. Her electricity bill dropped noticeably the first month, and she can now open a window with one hand instead of a wrestling match with a crank handle.
Corroded Sliding Glass Door Replaced with a Code-Compliant Impact Door
This patio slider had been off its track since 2019, and the homeowner had been propping it closed with a scrap of 2×4. The track was packed with years of leaf debris and the rollers had flattened into ovals. We installed a new impact-rated sliding glass door, rebuilt the threshold, and set the door so it glides with two fingers. What the homeowner didn’t expect: the new door sealed the room tightly enough that they stopped hearing the planes the way they used to, and they’re a half-mile from the runway.
Awning Window Swap on a Second-Story Condo Overlooking the Golf Course
The old window had a blown seal, so the view of the fairway looked like someone smeared Vaseline across the glass. Worse, the crank mechanism had stripped out sometime during the previous administration. We replaced it with an energy-efficient awning window that actually opens, tilts, and locks. The homeowner told us she’d forgotten what the golf course actually looked like. Those small fixes are often the ones that change how a room feels every single day, and we take them just as seriously as a full-house replacement.
Front Door Replacement with Geometric Sidelights
The original front door was a hollow-core slab that a former owner had painted over about six times, and one of the sidelights had a crack running from corner to corner. We replaced it with a Therma-Tru fiberglass door and custom geometric sidelights that the homeowner chose after we showed her a few profile options. The new glass floods the entryway with natural light and the door seals against the afternoon rain that blows in off the Everglades. She told us she now parks on the street just to look at the front of her own house.
Impact Garage Door on a House Facing the Canal
Garage doors are the largest opening on most houses in Miami Springs, and a non-rated door is a standing invitation for wind pressure to test your roof’s attachments. This one had a dent the size of a watermelon and a spring that had snapped two years prior, so the homeowner had been lifting it by hand, which is not a recipe for a healthy back or a secure house. We installed a new impact garage door, recalibrated the tracks, and added a fresh weather seal. The first big thunderstorm after the install, he called us just to say the garage stayed dry for the first time in a decade.
Full-House Window Replacement on a Two-Story Colonial
The house had thirty-year-old aluminum windows, and you could feel the breeze standing in the living room with every window latched shut. The homeowner was tired of cleaning mold off the inside sills every June and tired of the plastic film that never stayed up during storm warnings. We replaced all twenty-three windows with ES Windows impact units, matching the original grid pattern so the house kept its character. The middle of summer now costs less to cool, and the house is dramatically quieter, which matters when you live under the approach path.
