If you live in Gladeview, you already know the problem: homes built between 1950 and 1975 were never designed for the wind loads Miami-Dade enforces today. Those original jalousie windows and thin aluminum frames that came with your CBS home might keep the rain out on a calm afternoon, but they won’t hold when a real storm pushes through. And in Gladeview, which sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, that isn’t a hypothetical. Winslow Windows & Doors handles the upgrade the right way: NOA-approved impact units, pulled permits, county inspections passed, and a live person answering when you call (844) 901-4551.
We’re Ed Winslow’s crew. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do in the 33147. No ticket numbers. No call centers. Just a local company that answers the phone and stands behind the install.

We’ve replaced windows on a lot of blocks around Gladeview, from the single-family homes clustered near NW 22nd Avenue to the multi-family structures closer to NW 79th Street. Homeowners tell us the same thing: they’d rather work with someone who knows what a Miami-Dade inspector will flag before the inspection happens. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive knowing the difference between a jalousie conversion and a standard-frame swap, and they price the job before the first screw comes out. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.
Every crew member installs impact windows, doors, and roofing with the same standard: if it isn’t done right, Ed makes it right. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it’s the plainest guarantee in the trade. We carry a published address and license number, and we’ve been doing this since 2011. You’ll find our work throughout Gladeview, including homes near NW 71st Street and the blocks east of NW 27th Avenue.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Gladeview
Impact Windows
Impact windows are our flagship line in Gladeview, because laminated impact glass is the only permanent protection against windborne debris. Every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the specific configuration we’re putting into your opening. Learn more about our impact windows in Gladeview.
Window Installation
Window installation in Gladeview often means working around original block openings that were sized for jalousie frames no longer manufactured. We handle the custom buck work and framing so the new unit sits square and seals tight. Learn more about our window installation in Gladeview.
Window Replacement
Replacing windows in Gladeview typically means pulling a permit and scheduling a county inspection once the job is done. We pull the permit on every replacement, and we don’t consider the job finished until the inspector signs off. Learn more about our window replacement in Gladeview.
Door Installation
We install front entry doors, exterior doors, and French doors rated for HVHZ wind loads. A door that doesn’t meet design pressure is a liability the first time wind gets behind it.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliding glass doors in Gladeview take a beating from UV and salt air. We install impact-rated sliders with laminated glass and reinforced frames that don’t bind up after a season of humidity.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-efficient windows in Gladeview make a real difference, with low-E coatings that can cut cooling costs by 20 to 30 percent in an inland Miami-Dade summer. The 33147 has plenty of original single-pane aluminum that’s practically cooking your living room.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door opening is one of the largest structural weak points on a Gladeview home. We install impact garage doors that stay put when the pressure hits.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some Gladeview homes have unusual window shapes, arch tops, angled glass, or custom sizes that big-box stores won’t touch. We design and install custom and geometric windows that fit the actual opening and meet NOA standards.
Roof Repair
Your windows and doors do their job best when the roof above them is intact. We repair roof leaks and storm damage across Gladeview.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Gladeview means shingle, tile, or metal, pulled permits, and a county inspection when the work is done.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We install all three roofing types in Gladeview, matched to your home’s structure and the wind zone requirements Miami-Dade enforces.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Gladeview
We work throughout the 33147 ZIP code. When you call, you’ll typically reach a live person immediately, and we can get a technician out to Gladeview quickly once the schedule is set. The neighborhoods we serve most often include:
- Homes along NW 22nd Avenue
- The blocks around NW 71st Street
- The residential streets east of NW 27th Avenue

Why Gladeview’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Gladeview sits entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which is the most stringent window and door jurisdiction in the United States. Every replacement unit must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a standard that disqualifies a large portion of the products sold elsewhere in Florida. For the 1950s–1970s CBS homes that dominate this community, that means virtually every original aluminum jalousie or single-pane window is a code-deficient hurricane liability that has to be swapped for a fully NOA-approved impact-rated unit with a pulled permit and county inspection.
But the housing stock here creates a second problem: those original rough openings were sized for now-obsolete frame profiles. When you upgrade a jalousie to a modern impact window, the opening almost always needs custom buck work or sub-frame adjustment. A big-box retailer might sell you a window that “should fit,” but a Gladeview inspector will fail it if the installation doesn’t meet the approved configuration. We’ve handled this exact scenario on dozens of Gladeview homes.
Jalousie windows, those louvered glass slat units that appear all over 1960s Miami-Dade construction, are everywhere in Gladeview. They provide essentially zero wind or water resistance. Miami-Dade inspectors flag them immediately on any permitted renovation, which makes a jalousie-to-impact conversion one of the most common single-job calls we get in the neighborhood.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Gladeview
Impact window pricing in Gladeview runs roughly $850 to $1,600 per opening installed for standard sizes, depending on glass package and frame material. A jalousie-to-impact conversion with custom buck work lands higher because the opening has to be rebuilt. Impact doors start around $1,800 and go up with hardware and finish choices. Sliding glass doors typically run $3,000 to $6,500 installed. We give you a written, line-item quote before any work starts, and the price on that quote is the price you pay. No change orders. No surprises. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact number on your home.
Florida Pays Gladeview Homeowners Back
Gladeview homeowners have access to several programs that reduce the real cost of impact windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades for eligible households. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which takes a meaningful chunk off the invoice. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, most homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25 percent on the windstorm portion. The exact numbers depend on your carrier and program eligibility, but we’ll point you to the right resources and help with the paperwork you need.
One more thing worth weighing: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters mean hauling panels out of the garage at 2 a.m. while the wind picks up, and hoping you remember the hardware. Impact windows are already in place, working every minute of the year, with no panels to hang and no prep time before a storm. For a Gladeview homeowner, the math usually favors permanent protection.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Gladeview
Impact window installation in Gladeview generally runs $850 to $1,600 per opening for standard sizes, with jalousie conversions costing more due to custom framing work. Call (844) 901-4551 for a specific line-item quote on your home, it’s free and it’s the exact number you’ll pay.
Yes. Gladeview is in Miami-Dade County, and any window or door replacement requires a permit and a county inspection. We pull the permit on every job and don’t call it finished until the inspector passes it.
Any replacement window or door installed in Gladeview must meet Miami-Dade HVHZ standards and carry a Notice of Acceptance. Original jalousie or single-pane units don’t meet current code, which is why replacements must be impact-rated.
Most Gladeview homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25 percent on the windstorm portion after a wind-mitigation inspection, typically $75 to $150. Your carrier sets the final number, but the credits are real and we’ll help you document the upgrade.
Once your custom units arrive, which typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for fabrication, installation can go as fast as a single day for most Gladeview homes. The custom buck work on jalousie conversions adds time, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline before we start.

What Gladeview Customers Say
"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"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."
— Rosalind Beaumont"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."
