Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve done enough window work in Wellington to know the difference between a Versailles colonial and a Binks Forest oversized arch, and that difference matters when you’re ordering impact-rated glass. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do. We’re not a national chain handing you a ticket number. We’re the one down the road, locally owned with a published address and license number.
Wellington homeowners call us because we answer the phone live, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no call centers. Every technician who shows up at your door is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking up your driveway before the truck stops. Our Window Replacement team has spent years navigating Wellington’s HOA architectural review boards and Palm Beach County’s permit process. That local knowledge saves you time, money, and the headache of a stop-work order.
Our Window Replacement Services in Wellington
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means we remove the entire old window, including the frame and sill, down to the rough opening. This is the right call for most Wellington homes built in the 1980s and 1990s because the original aluminum frames are often corroded, out of square, or simply not built to hold modern impact-rated glass. In neighborhoods like Olympia and Versailles, we regularly find that the old frames leak air and water around the perimeter, and a full frame replacement lets us flash and seal the opening correctly against Palm Beach County’s afternoon downpours.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement keeps your existing frame and installs a new unit inside it. This works well when the original frame is still square and structurally sound, and it can reduce labor cost on homes where the frame was installed correctly the first time. That said, many Wellington homes from the 1970s and 1980s don’t qualify for inserts because the frames have rotted at the corners or pulled away from the stucco. We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense for your openings during the free measure.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl is the most common frame material for Wellington replacements because it handles Florida humidity without corrosion and costs less than aluminum or wood-clad. We install vinyl units from PGT and CWS with the Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval documentation your insurer asks for after a wind mitigation inspection. Vinyl is not right for every opening, particularly large picture windows where structural reinforcement matters more, but for standard bedrooms and living areas it’s a workhorse choice.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
If your Wellington windows feel like radiators by 3 p.m. in July, upgrading to Low-E insulated glass makes a measurable difference in heat gain. We pair energy certification with impact ratings so you’re not choosing between comfort and code compliance. A standard Low-E unit without a laminated interlayer will not pass large-missile testing in a 140+ mph design wind speed zone, so the specs have to work together. We’ll show you exactly what glass package we’re quoting and why it meets both your energy and structural needs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, and we spec these brands because they carry the Florida Product Approval numbers and Miami-Dade NOA ratings Palm Beach County requires. For Wellington homes with oversized or arched openings common in the equestrian estate areas, we order custom-sized impact units from these manufacturers rather than force-fitting a stock size. We coordinate lead times directly with the factory so your project doesn’t stall at the permit desk.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- HOA non-approval stop-work orders. Wellington’s HOA architectural review boards must sign off on frame color, exterior finish, and grid pattern before the county permit gets issued. Skip that step and you could be removing brand-new windows and buying replacements at your own expense.
- Failed wind mitigation inspections. If your new windows don’t carry Florida Product Approval documentation, the inspector will flag them, and your insurer may deny the windstorm premium credit you were counting on.
- Laminated glass confusion. A Low-E insulated unit without the laminated interlayer will not pass large-missile impact testing. In a design pressure zone above 140 mph, that unit is not legal, and a warranty claim on a failed unit is unlikely to be honored.
- Fogged glass in relatively young windows. Wellington’s UV intensity and near-daily summer thunderstorms degrade frame seals and IGU spacers fast. We often see failing units at 10–15 years that would last 25–30 years in a northern climate.

FAQs — Window Replacement in Wellington
You submit an architectural modification request to your HOA board specifying the exact frame color, exterior finish, and grid pattern you intend to install, and you wait for written approval before the county permit application is filed. In Wellington, the HOA approval is step one and the Palm Beach County permit is step two, and doing them out of order causes stop-work orders. Our team prepares the submittal package for you, including product spec sheets and finish samples, so the board has everything they need to sign off. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk you through your specific HOA’s process.
Wellington sits in Palm Beach County’s 140+ mph design wind speed zone, so replacement windows must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers and meet large-missile impact testing standards under the Florida Building Code. A standard impact single-hung from PGT or CWS with a design pressure rating matched to your opening size and floor height will meet local code. We never install a unit rated above +/-100 where the opening requires less, but we always verify the exact design pressure per opening because second-story windows on exposed walls often need higher ratings than ground-floor units.
Typically yes, after a wind mitigation inspection documents the impact-rated openings, most Palm Beach County carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. The inspection itself costs $75–$150, and the documented Florida Product Approval numbers must be submitted with the certificate. In the Versailles neighborhood, we replaced a 1990s aluminum single-pane picture window with a PGT WinGuard impact-rated casement after the homeowner received a non-renewal notice, and once our documentation was filed, they secured a new policy at a lower premium. We can’t guarantee your specific carrier’s credit, but we give you every piece of paperwork they ask for.
Because Wellington’s UV intensity and daily summer thunderstorms destroy frame seals and weatherstripping much faster than northern climates do, and single-pane aluminum frames from the 1980s and 1990s were never built for Florida’s humidity cycles. Once the seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and fog develops, and there’s no repair, only replacement. We replace failed units with impact-rated insulated glass built for this climate, and we stand behind the labor and materials under the Done Right Promise.
No, and doing so is dangerous and likely illegal under Florida Building Code, which requires a licensed contractor to pull the permit and certify that impact-rated products are installed to code. A DIY install without the Florida Product Approval documentation will fail a wind mitigation inspection, and your insurer may deny the premium credit or coverage entirely. High-tension window work and lifting heavy impact glass carry real risk of serious injury, so this is a job for trained professionals. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free measure and written quote instead.

Florida Pays You Back
There are real incentives on the table for Wellington homeowners. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are eligible. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying efficient units. And after a wind mitigation inspection, many carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on that portion of the policy. We cannot guarantee any specific program or carrier outcome, but we will hand you the documentation each program asks for.
One comparison worth knowing: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for most Wellington homeowners because they’re permanent protection. No panels to drag out of the garage at 11 p.m. before a storm, no storage, no forgetting them at your vacation home when a hurricane forms. The glass is always in place and always rated. That’s the real value.
