Why Coral Terrace Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name still goes on every invoice and every job. That matters in a neighborhood like Coral Terrace, where the homes are solid CBS construction from the 1950s and 60s and the work needs to be done right the first time. We serve homes throughout the area, from the streets off SW 24th Street down toward Bird Road, and from the blocks near Tropical Park east toward the Palmetto Expressway. When a homeowner near Coral Terrace Elementary or along SW 16th Street calls about a jalousie window that’s finally given up, we send a background-checked technician in uniform who arrives with the right masonry anchors and buck framing know-how for block walls, not wood studs.
Every call is answered live, 24 hours a day. The Done Right Promise backs every installation: if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s a lasting standard that big-box chains can’t match, and it’s why the neighbors here keep our number in their phones.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Coral Terrace
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the signature job in Coral Terrace. We install NOA-approved laminated glass units from PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, matched to the design pressure each opening actually needs, and we never specify a rating above +/-100 just to pad a quote. You get certified protection without overpaying.

Window Installation
Brand-new windows in a Coral Terrace CBS ranch home require proper masonry anchoring and flashing details, not just a generic frame swap. We handle the full opening removal, buck framing, and install so the final result looks clean and holds up to Miami-Dade wind loads.

Window Replacement
Most Coral Terrace homes still have their original single-pane aluminum frames or jalousie windows from the 1950s and 60s. Replacing those with modern impact-rated units changes how the house handles wind, noise, and cooling costs. We quote the job honestly and stand behind the work.

Door Installation
Entry doors, side doors, and rear doors take a beating in south Miami-Dade’s salt-laden humid air. We install Therma-Tru and other brands with marine-grade hardware that resists the pitting and oxidation common here. Every door install gets the same Done Right backing.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Coral Terrace backyards and patios deserve glass that opens easily and closes tight against a storm. We install impact-rated sliding and patio doors that meet HVHZ standards and glide smoothly for daily use, with frames and rollers selected for the coastal air.
Energy-Efficient Windows
The sun over Coral Terrace works your air conditioner hard. Energy-efficient glass packages from PGT and CGI can cut cooling costs by 20 to 30 percent, and you may also qualify for federal tax credits on qualifying units. We’ll show you the numbers before you commit.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest opening in most Coral Terrace homes, and an unrated one fails first in a storm. Impact garage doors keep the envelope sealed and can reduce windstorm insurance premiums after a mitigation inspection.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some Coral Terrace ranches have unusual window shapes, arched openings, or mid-century design details that standard sizes don’t fit. We handle custom and geometric window fabrication so your home keeps its character while gaining modern protection.
Roof Repair
Roof issues don’t wait for weekday business hours, which is why our phones are answered live around the clock. We repair shingle, tile, and metal roofing throughout Coral Terrace and stop small leaks before they become drywall damage.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A roof replacement in Coral Terrace means working under Miami-Dade HVHZ code, with proper underlayment, fastening, and secondary water protection. We walk every homeowner through the scope, the permit, and the inspection so there are no surprises.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Coral Terrace
We work across all of Coral Terrace’s 33155 zip code, from the blocks west of SW 67th Avenue to the streets bordering Flagami and West Miami. Typical response time for estimates and service calls in the area is same-day or next-day, depending on your schedule.

Why Coral Terrace’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Coral Terrace sits roughly 10 to 12 miles from Biscayne Bay, and the salt-laden humid air that drifts over this part of southern Miami-Dade is rough on metal. Aluminum frames oxidize, hardware pits, and original single-pane windows from the 1950s sag and stick. The dominant housing stock here is single-story concrete block and stucco construction, which means every window and door opening is cut into solid masonry. That’s a very different installation from wood-frame homes elsewhere. It requires proper buck framing, masonry anchors, and detailed flashing work. Get any of those details wrong and you’ll see water intrusion around the frames within a season or two.
The other reality is the jalousie window. Coral Terrace still has plenty of them, narrow louvered glass panels that provide zero impact resistance and almost no seal against the elements. Full-opening removal and replacement with Miami-Dade NOA-approved impact units is the most common job we perform in this neighborhood, because it is the single biggest upgrade a homeowner here can make for storm protection, energy efficiency, and comfort.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Coral Terrace
Florida Pays Coral Terrace Homeowners Back
The money side of this is better than most people realize. My Safe Florida Home provides matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Coral Terrace homes with older windows and doors are often prime candidates. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is immediate savings at the invoice. On top of that, the federal 25C energy credit can return 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And once your home has a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many insurers apply windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of the policy. We don’t guarantee what your carrier will do, but we’ve seen these savings stack up for Coral Terrace homeowners.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Coral Terrace
Do windows and doors in Coral Terrace have to be hurricane-rated?
Yes, absolutely. Coral Terrace falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every replacement window or door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, or NOA. That’s a stricter compliance bar than the standard Florida Building Code applied in most of the state. No NOA, no legal installation, no exceptions. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll show you the NOA documentation for any product we recommend.
How long does an impact window installation take in Coral Terrace?
Once your custom units arrive at our shop, installation is typically as fast as a single day for most homes. Fabrication of custom impact windows runs 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery, so we recommend starting the quoting process before you’re in a time crunch. Call us for a free estimate and we’ll map out the timeline in writing.
Will you handle the Miami-Dade County permit for my Coral Terrace project?
Yes. Coral Terrace is unincorporated Miami-Dade, so replacement window and door permits run directly through the county Building Department under straight HVHZ rules. That actually makes the permitting path more predictable here than in some neighboring incorporated cities, and we pull the permits, schedule inspections, and keep the paperwork organized on your behalf.
How much does it cost to replace jalousie windows in Coral Terrace?
Replacing jalousie windows with impact-rated units typically runs $1,100 to $2,200 per opening in Coral Terrace, depending on the opening size and the design pressure required for your home’s specific location profile. Jalousie openings often need full buck framing and masonry work, which is standard for this housing stock. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll give you an exact line-item quote.
Do impact windows make a difference without shutters?
Yes, and for most Coral Terrace homeowners they are the better option than hurricane shutters. Impact windows are always in place, so there’s no scrambling to hang panels before a storm and no storage problem afterward. They also cut outside noise by up to 40 percent and reduce cooling costs by 20 to 30 percent, which shutters will never do. If you are comparing the two, call us and we’ll walk through the trade-offs for your specific home.

What Coral Terrace Customers Say
"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
— Henrietta Pemberton"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"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
