Why Hobe Sound Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his name on the door. That’s not a slogan, it’s an operating principle. When you call our line at 2 a.m. during a storm watch, a person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a call center. Same goes for the middle of a Tuesday afternoon when you’re pricing a sliding glass door replacement.
We’ve done windows and doors throughout the Poinciana Gardens and Sound Point areas, and the feedback tends to hit the same notes: the crew showed up when they said they would, the quote matched the invoice, and the installers wore uniforms and badges so there was no question who was walking up the driveway. Every technician is background-checked. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
We also do what most installers won’t: we publish our address and license number, and we back every job with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Hobe Sound
Impact Windows
For Hobe Sound homes between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, impact windows are the flagship line. We install laminated impact glass from PGT and CGI, every unit Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approved, with design pressures matched to each opening rather than a one-size-fits-all rating. That matters in Hobe Sound, where Martin County inspectors enforce wind-load requirements on every permitted replacement.

Window Installation
Original openings in 1950s and 60s CBS homes here rarely measure square or plumb, so we treat every install as a rough-opening project before it becomes a window project. Full-frame tear-out, new bucking, proper flashing, and a unit that actually seals against salt air.

Window Replacement
If you’re in a 33455 or 33475 home with original single-pane aluminum frames, a replacement typically means more than swapping glass. Oxidized frames and deteriorated caulk beds push most Hobe Sound jobs toward full-frame replacements rather than pocket installs.

Door Installation
Wood door frames swell in Hobe Sound’s humidity, and hinges corrode from salt even on homes that look inland. We install Therma-Tru and other marine-spec systems that keep their tolerances through wet summers and storm seasons.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Track corrosion is one of the most common failures we see in Hobe Sound, especially on older aluminum sliders facing the Intracoastal. We replace tracks, rollers, and full units with Hobe Sound Sliding Glass & Patio Doors and other impact-rated options when code requires it.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Hobe Sound with Low-E glass make a measurable difference here, where AC runs most of the year. Homeowners typically see cooling savings in the 20 to 30 percent range after replacing single-pane or jalousie windows with modern insulated units, and noise reduction around 40 percent on busy corridors.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is a massive opening in your home’s wind envelope. We install Impact Garage Doors — Hobe Sound that hold design pressure during tropical systems and meet Martin County’s requirements without ruining your curb appeal.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Hobe Sound has plenty of mid-century homes with distinctive window shapes, and replacement doesn’t have to mean boring rectangles. We build custom and geometric units to match your original architecture while meeting current impact standards.
Roof Repair
Storms and salt both take a toll on roofing here. Roof repair covers small leaks before they spread.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a Hobe Sound roof reaches the end of its useful life, full replacement is the real answer, and impact-rated underlayments and attachments keep everything tied together under Florida code.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems. Each has tradeoffs in coastal conditions, and we walk you through them honestly rather than pushing whatever has the highest margin.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Hobe Sound
We work all over Hobe Sound, from the waterfront communities along the Intracoastal to the quieter streets west of Federal Highway. Typical response time for a free estimate anywhere in the area is one to two business days, though we can usually move faster if you’ve got storm damage or a failed panel.

Why Hobe Sound’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Hobe Sound sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway with the Atlantic barrier island, home to Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, immediately to the east. That geography means salt-laden air reaches homes throughout the community, including ones that feel safely inland. Aluminum frames pit, hardware corrodes, wood frames swell, and sliding glass door tracks seize up within a few years on non-marine-grade products. The narrow strip of land between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic doesn’t leave any protected zone.
On top of that, Hobe Sound’s housing stock skews toward concrete block ranch homes built from the 1950s through the early 1980s. A large share of those homes still carry original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows that predate impact requirements entirely. Jalousies are the real pressure point: those louvered glass panels can’t be retrofitted to meet Florida Building Code impact requirements under any configuration. When a Martin County inspector flags one, it’s a full replacement unit, no shortcuts. Contractors working Stuart or Palm City see far fewer of those because those areas had moved to conventional windows by the time jalousies fell out of favor. In Hobe Sound, jalousies are everywhere.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
No contractor can give you a real number without measuring your openings and checking your existing frames, but honest ranges help you budget. Here’s what Hobe Sound homeowners typically see:
- Impact window (standard size, single unit): $900-$1,800 installed per opening, depending on size, design pressure, and frame condition
- Full-frame tear-out and replacement: adds $300-$700 per opening over a pocket install, and most Hobe Sound jalousie or oxidized-frame jobs need it
- Sliding glass door replacement (impact-rated): $3,000-$6,500 for a standard 6-foot or 8-foot opening
- Front entry door (impact-rated): $2,500-$5,500 installed
- Impact garage door: $3,500-$8,000 depending on size and style
We write upfront pricing with no surprises on the invoice. No change orders unless you ask for something different mid-job. And we give a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor.
Florida Pays Hobe Sound Homeowners Back
There’s a stack of incentives available right now for Hobe Sound homeowners upgrading to impact-rated products. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows and doors are among the most common approved improvements. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which drops your upfront cost immediately. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after you complete a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), many insurers apply a premium credit, averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of your policy. We don’t control any of these numbers, your carriers and the state set the final terms, but we’ll help you document the work correctly so you can claim every credit you’re owed.
One comparison worth making before you commit: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you when someone is home to hang them, and they do nothing for energy efficiency, noise, or daily convenience. Impact glass is permanent protection. You never touch a panel, never lean a ladder against the house at 11 p.m. before a storm, and you get the energy and noise benefits year-round. For most Hobe Sound homeowners, the math skews toward impact windows.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
Most Hobe Sound homes spend between $900 and $1,800 per standard impact window installed, but full-frame tear-outs on older CBS ranches typically add $300-$700 per opening, and many homes here need that because original frames are oxidized or jalousie-era. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact quote on your home, estimates are free.
No. We write fixed upfront pricing and we don’t issue change orders unless you ask for something different mid-project. If we find hidden damage in a rough opening, we document it, show you photos, and give you a written addendum before we touch it. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Yes. Martin County enforces Florida Building Code wind-load and impact-resistance requirements on all permitted replacements, and we pull permits and pass inspections on every job where they’re required. We don’t offer no-permit shortcuts, because that creates a liability headache for you when you sell the house later.
Once your units arrive, most installations run as fast as a single day. The lead time is the bigger variable: custom impact windows and doors are fabricated to your opening sizes and typically run 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. We’ll give you a clear timeline before you sign anything.
In most cases, no. Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet Florida Building Code impact requirements under any configuration, so a flagged jalousie means a full replacement unit. That said, we can often preserve the look of a mid-century Hobe Sound home with custom geometric units that fit the original rough opening. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll look at your specific situation.

What Hobe Sound Customers Say
"The installation was clean and the windows are beautiful. The factory took about six weeks to deliver the units, which Ed told me upfront, but living behind plywood-framed openings in the meantime still tested my patience."
— Guadalupe Zamorano"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."
