Most Acreage homeowners call us after realizing their original 1980s aluminum single-pane windows cannot handle the flying branches and debris that these heavily wooded lots generate during tropical storms.

We know The Acreage differently than the contractors who drive in from the coast. We know that 60th Street North looks nothing like Seminole Pratt Whitney Road at rush hour. We know that your lot probably has oak and pine canopy within ten feet of your windows. And we know that when you open up a wall on a 1984 CBS ranch out here, you’re going to find things the original builder never anticipated. That local knowledge shapes how we price, how we schedule, and how we handle Window Replacement — The Acreage on every job.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is The Acreage’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We’ve been installing Impact Windows across western Palm Beach County since 2011, and The Acreage has become one of the communities we serve most often. The reason is simple: this area’s housing stock demands more from an impact window than a newer subdivision off SR-7. Original aluminum frames, wood jamb rot, non-standard rough openings on manufactured homes, and 1.25-acre lots full of launch-ready branches are the normal working conditions out here. Our crews expect that on every job, so there’s no sticker shock when the wall comes open.
Every technician who arrives at your home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. And when you call us, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center. Day or night. That matters when a storm is three days out and you’re trying to decide whether your Sliding Glass & Patio Doors — The Acreage will hold.
The difference between us and the big-box installers is simple: we carry the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and he stands behind it. We also publish our address and license number, because accountability that lives in fine print isn’t accountability at all.
The Acreage is a specific kind of place. Large lots, no HOA cookie-cutter rules, and homes that were built when the wind code was a different animal. We respect that. Our Impact Windows in The Acreage work treats every house as its own project, because out here, every house is.
Our Impact Windows Services in The Acreage
Impact Window Replacement
Most Acreage homes were built from the late 1970s through the 1990s, and the original aluminum single-pane windows are still on a remarkable number of them. Those frames corrode, lose their seal, and would not stop a pressure-driven branch in a tropical storm. We replace them with Florida Product Approval-rated impact units sized and anchored to current Palm Beach County wind-load standards. That means new jamb anchoring, proper flashing, and laminated glass that holds its interlayer even when the glass breaks.
Impact Single-Hung and Casement Retrofits
On 60th Street North we upgraded a 1984 CBS ranch from original aluminum single-pane sliders to PGT WinGuard casement windows with Miami-Dade NOA and laminated glass interlayers. The job started with discovery: rotten jamb wood, missing anchor bolts, framing that was never built for today’s design pressures. Our crew removed the damaged framing, reinstalled pressure-treated jambs, and fastened the new windows to code for that 1.25-acre, heavily wooded lot. The owner’s windborne-debris risk dropped, and the low-E insulated glass units cut cooling costs nearly 25%. That’s what a proper retrofit looks like on The Acreage.
Manufactured and Modular Home Impact Windows
A meaningful share of The Acreage’s housing stock is HUD-code manufactured and modular homes, many predating the 1994 code update. Those units frequently have non-standard rough openings that do not match stock window sizes. Forcing a standard impact unit into that opening voids the wind mitigation credit and compromises the seal. We measure every opening and order units that actually fit. That’s the only way to get a real Florida Product Approval rating on a manufactured home out here.
Custom and Large Openings
Picture windows, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and oversized sliders are common upgrades on Acreage homes, especially on the back side of a lot facing a pool or workshop. Those openings carry larger wind loads and need engineered anchoring. Custom impact windows in The Acreage run $2,500–$5,000 per opening depending on size and frame material. We specify the design pressure per opening, never a blanket “hurricane rated” claim without the number behind it.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Acreage
We’re authorized installers for eight premium brands, and for The Acreage’s wind zone we regularly recommend PGT, CGI, and CWS. These manufacturers produce units with the laminated glass interlayers and anchoring hardware this market demands. Because we install these brands constantly, our crews can turn around warranty parts and replacement glass faster than a contractor who only touches them occasionally. We do not service every brand on the market, and we won’t pretend we do. What we stock and order is what we stand behind.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in The Acreage Homes
- Original aluminum single-pane windows failing under windborne debris. The Acreage’s 1.25-acre lots are typically heavily wooded with oaks and pines. A 90 mph gust turns a fallen branch into a missile, and 1980s aluminum glass does not stop it. Once that glass breaches, pressure-driven rain follows, and you’re looking at interior water damage on top of window replacement.
- Undersized or rotted window headers on wood-frame ranch homes. Many late-1970s and 1980s wood-frame Acreage homes have headers sized for light single-pane units, not the heavier laminated impact glass that anchors to them today. When we open the wall, we often find rot at the jamb. The window cannot be anchored for design pressure until that framing is repaired, which is a line item we put in the written quote before you sign.
- Non-standard rough openings on pre-1994 manufactured homes. HUD-code homes built before 1994 frequently have rough openings that do not match any stock impact window. Installers who force a standard unit in create gaps, air leaks, and a voided wind mitigation credit. We measure every opening before ordering.
- Unpermitted accessory structures with outdated door and window openings. Workshops, RV garages, and pole barns built informally in the 1980s and 1990s often have windows and roll-up doors that were never permitted. When you upgrade them today, Palm Beach County requires full current wind-load compliance for the openings. We handle the permitting path and spell out the upgrade cost before work starts.
Pricing for Impact Windows in The Acreage, FL
A standard impact window replacement in The Acreage runs $800–$1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units typically fall between $900 and $1,800 each. Large or custom openings, including sliders and picture windows, run $2,500–$5,000. Whole-home packages on a typical Acreage ranch start around $8,000 and climb to $25,000 or more depending on opening count, frame material, and structural repairs the existing framing requires. What moves the price out here more than anything is what we find when the old window comes out: rotten jamb wood, missing anchors, or a rough opening that was never right in the first place. That’s why our written quote includes allowances for known unknowns, and why any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a line-item written quote. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge in county.
What Impact Windows Costs in The Acreage
You’ll notice the range is wide, and that’s honest. A 1984 CBS ranch with ten standard openings on 60th Street North prices differently than a 1990s wood-frame home with rotted headers or a manufactured home with non-standard rough openings. Floor height matters too: second-story or tall-wall openings increase design pressure and anchoring requirements. Frame material changes the number: vinyl is the entry point, aluminum is the mid-range workhorse, and premium thermally broken frames land at the top of the range. We quote per opening with the design pressure stated in writing, so you’re comparing apples to apples. Our close is the free in-home measure and a written quote with fixed pricing. No change orders on our own mistakes, ever. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule yours.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack, and The Acreage homeowners qualify because Palm Beach County sits inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which include impact windows that meet current Florida Product Approval. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and Door Installation — The Acreage projects from sales tax, which is a meaningful percentage on an $8,000-plus job. The federal 25C energy credit applies to qualifying energy-efficient units: 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75–$150), many carriers apply windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. We don’t guarantee any specific number, because the programs and carriers set their own final figures. But the math is favorable enough that we point every Acreage customer toward the wind mitigation inspection after install.

FAQs — Impact Windows in The Acreage
Yes. The Acreage sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which only covers Miami-Dade and Broward, but Palm Beach County is firmly inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region. Any replacement window or door on your home must carry a current Florida Product Approval rating for local design wind speeds. Your original 1980s windows almost certainly do not. If you’re replacing them, code requires you to bring the openings into compliance. It’s not optional, and it’s why we quote the compliant product every time. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free measure and confirm what your openings require.
Impact windows rated for large-missile debris are tested with a 9-pound 2×4 fired at the glass at 34 mph, simulating the exact kind of windborne projectiles your oak and pine canopy produces in a storm. The laminated glass interlayer holds the glass in place even when it cracks, preventing the breach that causes pressure-driven water intrusion. On The Acreage’s heavily wooded lots, this is the single most important rating to confirm. We state the design pressure and missile rating per opening in every written quote. Call (844) 901-4551 and ask us to check your current windows against that standard.
Yes, and you want it to. Replacing original windows on a late-1970s through 1990s Acreage home triggers Palm Beach County permitting and current wind-load compliance. That means the new openings must be anchored to today’s design pressure standards, which often requires structural repair to the jambs and headers. We handle the permit application and the structural work in one contract, with allowances written in so the cost is visible before we start. The alternative is an unpermitted cover-up that voids your insurance credit and fails the next wind-mitigation inspection. Call (844) 901-4551 for an honest assessment of your openings.
They can, on the windstorm portion of your policy. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75–$150), many carriers apply premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion when impact products with current Florida Product Approval are installed. The inspection documents design pressure ratings and anchoring, so a sloppy retrofit from a non-specialist can actually prevent the credit. We install to the standard that passes the inspection. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll tell you what documentation we provide for your inspection.
Yes, but only with units sized to the actual rough openings. Pre-1994 HUD-code manufactured homes in The Acreage frequently have opening dimensions that do not match stock window sizes. We measure every opening before ordering, and we order units built to those dimensions. Forcing a standard unit in creates gaps, air leaks, and a voided wind mitigation credit. We’ve done enough manufactured-home retrofits on The Acreage to know that measurement is the whole job. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free measure and a written quote specific to your home’s openings.
