Why Ojus Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ojus sits entirely within the 33160 ZIP code, wedged between the Intracoastal and the busier corridors of Aventura and North Miami Beach. That geography creates a specific problem: salt-laden air eats aluminum frames faster here than almost anywhere else in the county. Our technicians see it constantly in the 1950s and 1960s concrete-block homes along West Dixie Highway and around the Greynolds Park area. Homeowners call us because the corrosion isn’t cosmetic, it’s structural. A seized sill track on a second-floor jalousie window is a real liability.
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 as an owner-operated alternative to the big national chains. We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows among others, and every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s walking up your driveway before the truck even stops.
The Done Right Promise is our standing commitment: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a lasting standard, and it’s exactly what Ojus homeowners deserve when they’re spending thousands on hurricane-rated protection for their homes.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Ojus
Impact Windows
This is the flagship service for Ojus, and for good reason. Every replacement window in this community must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, per the HVHZ code that governs the entire 33160 corridor. We install laminated impact glass configured to each opening’s specific design pressure, never guessing at ratings.

Window Installation
Whether you’re dealing with original single-pane aluminum frames or failed seals on newer units, our crews handle full tear-out and installation with the same care. Condo associations in Ojus often require their own aesthetic approvals before work starts, so we coordinate both county permitting and association sign-off from day one.

Window Replacement
Most Ojus homes built between 1950 and 1980 still have their original jalousie windows. These louvered units carry zero impact rating and trigger insurance policy non-renewals with predictable regularity each hurricane season. We replace them with NOA-listed units that satisfy lenders, insurers, and inspectors alike.

Door Installation
Front entry doors, rear doors, and utility doors in Ojus face the same salt corrosion as windows but take more daily abuse. We install reinforced, impact-rated doors that seal properly against both wind-driven rain and the humid South Florida air that warps cheaper units within a few summers.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Low-rise condos and single-family homes throughout Ojus lean heavily on sliding doors for patio access. Replacing an old aluminum slider with a modern impact-rated Therma-Tru or CGI unit changes the whole feel of a living room, and it’s one of the highest-value upgrades you can make before a hurricane season arrives.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings and insulated frames cut cooling costs meaningfully in Ojus. Our customers typically see 20% to 30% reductions in their AC bills after replacing old clear-glass jalousies with modern double-pane units, and that’s before factoring in any utility rebates your provider may offer.
Impact Garage Doors
An impact-rated garage door is one of the most overlooked openings in any Ojus home. If the door fails during a storm, the pressure differential can lift your roof deck. We source and install code-compliant impact garage doors that meet Miami-Dade’s strictest wind-load requirements.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some Ojus mid-century homes have unusual window shapes: half-rounds, angled glass, clerestory bands. We fabricate custom and geometric windows to match the original architecture while meeting current HVHZ standards, so you keep the character and gain the protection.
Roof Repair
Storms and age take their toll on Ojus roofs, especially flat and low-slope designs on older condominium buildings. We repair leaks, replace damaged decking, and bring older roofing up to code where required.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Ojus means working within Miami-Dade’s wind-load requirements while coordinating with your insurance carrier’s inspection timelines. We handle the entire process, from tear-off to final inspection.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Architectural shingles remain popular throughout 33160, but concrete tile and standing-seam metal are gaining ground as insurance premiums climb. We install all three systems, and we’ll help you understand which one makes the most financial sense for your specific structure.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Ojus
Ojus is compact but varied. We work regularly in the neighborhoods near Greynolds Park, along West Dixie Highway, throughout the Enchanted Lake enclave, in the condo communities near the Aventura border, and through the residential streets surrounding Ojus Elementary. Typical response time for an estimate anywhere in Ojus is fast, often same-week.

Why Ojus’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Ojus falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most stringent wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. Every replacement window or door in this community must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval standard that Broward County, literally a couple of miles north, does not impose. That single code distinction changes everything about how we spec your project. You cannot simply order standard Florida-code impact products and expect a permit in Ojus. Contractors who don’t know this fail inspections, and their customers pay for it twice.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Ojus is dense with 1950s through 1970s concrete-block single-family homes and low-rise condos, a large share of which still have original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows. Those openings carry no impact rating and trigger both permit deficiencies and insurance surcharges under current Miami-Dade rules. Meanwhile, salt-laden air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, only a few miles east, accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware far faster than in inland Florida markets. Frames and sill tracks on unprotected homes can oxidize and seize within a decade, which is why we see so many replacement projects in this small community every year.
Insurance carriers writing Miami-Dade homeowner policies routinely require proof of HVHZ-compliant impact openings at renewal. In Ojus specifically, the large stock of 1960s CBS ranch homes with surviving jalousie windows makes policy-renewal season a predictable, repeatable spike in window replacement inquiries. Homeowners facing non-renewal notices are the direct trigger for most of the calls we receive, rather than storm damage itself.
Impact Windows vs Hurricane Shutters: What Ojus Homeowners Need to Know
Shutters are cheaper up front. That’s the entire argument. But in Ojus, where the HVHZ code already demands permanent compliance for any permitted opening, impact windows do what shutters cannot: they protect your home even when nobody is there to deploy them. No panels to drag out of a garage, no rails to maintain, no annual pre-season scramble. Impact windows also count as permanent windborne-debris protection for insurance purposes, which means premium credits apply automatically without anyone having to bolt anything closed. Given that Ojus insurance carriers are already requiring proof of compliant openings at renewal, the long-term math favors permanent impact glazing in most of the homes we evaluate.
Big-Box Retail Install vs a Licensed Impact Specialist
Home improvement stores will happily sell you impact windows. What they won’t do is pull a Miami-Dade permit, schedule a structural engineer to verify design pressures on a 1960s concrete-block Ojus home, or coordinate with your condo association’s architectural review board. Those gaps are where Ojus projects go sideways. When Ed Winslow’s name is on the job, the permit is our responsibility, the inspection is our responsibility, and the finished product either passes or we’re back to fix it. That’s the entire point of the Done Right Promise.
Florida Pays Ojus Homeowners Back
Upgrading your windows and doors in Ojus comes with meaningful financial offsets, and we walk every customer through the stack:
- My Safe Florida Home: Matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors.
- Florida Sales-Tax Exemption: Impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from state sales tax.
- Federal 25C Energy Credit: 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units.
- Windstorm Premium Credits: After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), homeowners average roughly 25% off the windstorm portion of their insurance premium.
Every carrier sets its own final numbers, and program availability shifts. What we can tell you is what we’ve seen across Ojus: the credits and grants, when stacked, meaningfully narrow the gap between standard replacement and full impact protection.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Ojus
Honest numbers matter. For a standard single-hung impact window in Ojus, including installation and Miami-Dade permitting, expect to pay $900 to $1,600 per opening depending on size and design pressure. Sliding glass doors run $3,500 to $7,000 installed. Entry doors with impact-rated cores start around $2,500 and climb with custom finishes. Full-house replacement on a typical 3-bedroom Ojus ranch home lands between $18,000 and $35,000, and the 4-to-6-week fabrication time for custom impact units is the biggest scheduling variable. We provide written line-item quotes upfront, with no change orders, and $40 off any repair over $200.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Ojus
Yes. Ojus falls within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement window or door you install must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Standard Florida building code impact products won’t pass a permit inspection here. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate on NOA-compliant units.
Most Ojus homes fall between $18,000 and $35,000 for a full impact window replacement, depending on the number of openings and the design pressures required. We’ll give you a written, line-item quote before any work starts, and seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10% discount.
Most Ojus condominium buildings require association approval before any exterior window or door work begins. We handle that coordination alongside county permitting, so you’re not stuck managing two separate approval processes. Ed Winslow’s team has navigated these dual requirements throughout 33160 for years.
Once your units arrive, installation can be as fast as a single day for standard-sized openings. Custom impact windows and doors take 4 to 6 weeks to fabricate, which is normal for Miami-Dade-compliant products. We’ll schedule your installation as soon as your units are out of fabrication. Call us for a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.
In most Ojus cases, yes. After installing HVHZ-compliant impact windows and completing a wind-mitigation inspection, homeowners typically see meaningful reductions, often around 25% on the windstorm portion of their premium. Your carrier makes the final call, but the insurance-driven upgrade is one of the most common jobs we do in this neighborhood. Call (844) 901-4551 to discuss your specific policy situation.

What Ojus Customers Say
"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."
— Maximilian Vasquez"Excellent work and a fair price for what it is, though impact glass is never cheap and one bedroom window arrived with a scratched pane. Ed flagged it before I saw it and the replacement went in without me chasing anyone."
— Bartholomew Crenshaw"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."
