Why The Crossings Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his name on the door. When you call us about windows or doors in The Crossings, you’re talking to a business with a published address and license number, not a faceless call center routing your job to whoever’s available. Every technician who pulls up to your home in The Crossings is background-checked and in uniform, so you know who’s at your door before you open it. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If it’s 2 a.m. and a window just blew out, a real person picks up.
We’ve installed impact windows and doors throughout the neighborhoods around SW 120th Street and along the streets feeding into Country Walk and Three Lakes. Homeowners near Kendall Drive and the subdivisions off SW 137th Avenue call us because we carry PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru products with Miami-Dade NOA approval already verified. No contractor should be selling you a window that can’t pass inspection here, and we check every product against the Miami-Dade product approval database before it ever gets ordered for a The Crossings address.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in The Crossings
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship of what we do in The Crossings, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval comes standard, with design pressures matched to each opening. The Crossings sits in the HVHZ, so you need full impact-rated units, not just shutters, to satisfy current permit requirements.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in The Crossings.
Window Installation
Installation is where most window failures start, especially in a salt-air and humidity environment like southwest Miami-Dade. We measure every opening in person, match design pressures to the exact aperture size, and pull permits before work begins. Proper flashing and anchoring matter even more on 1980s CBS homes where the original openings may have settled.
Learn more about our Window Installation in The Crossings.
Window Replacement
The Crossings’ uniform build era means thousands of original aluminum single-pane windows are hitting replacement age at roughly the same time. We replace them with energy-efficient, impact-rated units that bring down cooling costs by 20 to 30 percent in our experience. A full-home replacement in The Crossings can be done as fast as a single day once your custom units arrive.

Door Installation
We install entry doors, French doors, and impact-rated front doors throughout The Crossings. Hollow-core and steel doors from the 1980s predate post-Andrew impact glazing mandates, and in this wind zone, your front door is the first thing between your family and a storm. Every door we install meets current Miami-Dade code for the HVHZ.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliding glass doors are common in The Crossings homes and they’re also a major weakness in high winds. We install impact-rated sliders from manufacturers like CGI and ES Windows, with laminated glass and reinforced frames. Proper installation is what keeps a slider from flexing out of its track when design winds exceed 175 mph.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Year-round air conditioning in The Crossings means a lot of money goes into cooling. Low-E glass and insulated frames on energy-efficient windows in The Crossings cut solar heat gain and keep the cold air in. Our customers typically see 20 to 30 percent lower cooling costs after replacing single-pane aluminum units with modern impact-rated glass.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are one of the most overlooked storm vulnerabilities in The Crossings. A non-impact garage door that fails in a hurricane can pressurize your whole house and blow the roof off. We install impact-rated garage doors in The Crossings that meet Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements and keep your home sealed.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Many homes in The Crossings feature arched and geometric window shapes, especially in the older sections of the community. We fabricate and install custom impact windows for those distinctive openings without compromising the architectural character of the house. No cookie-cutter rectangles here unless you want them.
Roof Repair
A failed window or door can leak, but a failed roof is an emergency. We repair roofs across The Crossings, including leak repair, flashing replacement, and storm damage fixes. Same-day scheduling is available for active leaks in 33186.
Roof Replacement & Installation
We replace entire roofs in The Crossings with shingle, tile, or metal systems designed for Miami-Dade’s wind zone. A roof and impact windows together form the full exterior protection envelope that insurance carriers reward with premium credits.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Different homes in The Crossings need different roofing systems. We install architectural shingles, concrete and clay tile, and standing seam metal roofs, all to current Miami-Dade wind load requirements. The right system depends on your home’s roof pitch and your budget.
Neighborhoods We Serve in The Crossings
Our crews work throughout The Crossings and the surrounding communities in ZIP code 33186. Typical response time for an estimate visit in The Crossings is within one to two business days, with genuine emergencies handled much faster when you call (844) 901-4551.

Why The Crossings’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
The Crossings has a housing stock and a climate that make window and door selection unlike almost anywhere else in Florida. These are concrete block and stucco single-family homes built primarily between the late 1970s and mid-1980s. They came with standard aluminum-frame single-pane windows and hollow-core or steel entry doors that predate Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 code revolution. That means nearly every home in The Crossings still needs a full retrofit to impact-rated units, and the uniform build era means whole blocks are hitting that need at the same time.
Beyond the housing stock, the physics of this location matter. Southwest Miami-Dade takes the full brunt of Atlantic and Gulf hurricane tracks. Design wind speeds under current Miami-Dade code exceed 175 mph here. Year-round humidity, salt-laden air pushed inland from Biscayne Bay, and relentless UV accelerate frame oxidation and seal failure on any under-spec’d unit far faster than the same window would degrade in Orlando or Tampa. A window that might last 20 years in Central Florida can start failing at 10 years in The Crossings if it wasn’t engineered for this environment.
There’s also a compliance trap unique to working inside the HVHZ boundary. A window model that passes Florida statewide approval and is perfectly legal to install in Orlando or Fort Lauderdale can be rejected at Miami-Dade permit inspection if it lacks a current Notice of Acceptance number. Contractors who source product without checking the Miami-Dade product approval database get stopped mid-job. We check the NOA before anything gets ordered.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in The Crossings
Shutters are the old way. Impact windows are the permanent fix. With shutters, you’re storing panels in the garage, hauling them out in the dark, and bolting them up while the wind picks up. With impact windows, the protection is always in place. Laminated impact glass means no panels to hang, no pre-storm scramble, and no risk of leaving a window unprotected because you were out of town when the warning went up. The windows also work every day, not just during storms. They cut UV damage to furniture, reduce outside noise by up to 40 percent, and lower cooling costs. Shutters do none of that. For The Crossings homeowners replacing aging single-pane aluminum anyway, impact windows are the better use of the same budget.

My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows and doors are exactly the kind of improvement that qualifies.

What The Crossings 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."
— Maximilian Vasquez
