Winslow Windows & Doors is Ed Winslow’s company, founded in 2011 and built around a simple standard: if a window doesn’t fit the opening, drain the water, and hold up to Broward County’s hurricane code, we’re not done. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it applies to every custom geometric window we install in North Andrews Gardens.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Andrews Gardens’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
North Andrews Gardens is a specific kind of housing market. The streets off NE 56th, Andrews Avenue, and Dixie Highway are lined with 1950s and 1960s CBS ranch homes, many still carrying the original jalousie windows they left the builder’s lot with. Homeowners here don’t need a generic window company. They need someone who knows what’s behind those louvers, what Broward County permit review will ask for, and why the insurance letter sitting on the kitchen counter says “non-renewal” unless the openings are brought to code.
We’ve handled that conversation hundreds of times in the 33334 zip code. Our crews know the difference between an HVHZ-anchored impact window and a product that only meets standard Florida Building Code, and we don’t install the latter here. Not because it’s cheaper to avoid, but because it would fail permit review, fail the insurer’s wind-mitigation inspection, and fail the homeowner three years from now when the salt air has done its work.
Every technician who pulls into a North Andrews Gardens driveway is background-checked and in uniform. The person answering the phone when you call (844) 901-4551 is a real human in our office, not a call center. And Ed Winslow’s name is on the business. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in North Andrews Gardens
Custom window work in North Andrews Gardens falls into a few recurring categories. Here’s what we install most, and what each one looks like on a block of 1960s CBS homes.
Custom Impact Windows
In North Andrews Gardens, “custom impact” usually means taking a non-standard opening, often a jalousie opening on a Florida room or a narrow side-lite, and rebuilding it with an HVHZ-rated, Miami-Dade NOA-approved window that actually seals. The existing jalousie hardware corrodes fast in this salt air, and the glass slats offer no impact resistance. We measure the masonry opening precisely, order the unit to that exact dimension, and anchor it into the concrete block the way Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requires.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Hexagons, trapezoids, circles, angled windows above a front door. These are aesthetic statements, but in North Andrews Gardens they’re also structural commitments. A shaped window has to carry the same design pressure rating as a rectangular one, and the frame has to integrate with a CBS wall that was poured decades before anyone thought about laminated glass. We source these from manufacturers who carry Miami-Dade NOA listings for their shaped product lines, which narrows the field considerably and saves homeowners from paying for a re-spec after permit rejection.
Arched & Curved Windows
Arched windows on North Andrews Gardens homes often sit high on gable walls or above entryways, where the wind load is actually stronger than at ground level. The curved frame geometry creates stress points standard rectangular windows don’t have. We spec arched units with reinforced frames and hardware rated for the opening’s exact design pressure, then flash the curved rough opening so water drains away from the masonry rather than into it. The difference between a dry arched window and a leaking one is usually in the flashing detail, not the glass.
Oversized Openings
Picture windows that span six, eight, or ten feet of wall. In a CBS home, enlarging an opening means cutting concrete block, installing a properly sized lintel, and re-anchoring the surrounding wall before the window ever goes in. We handle the structural side with a licensed contractor on the permit, pull the Broward County permit for the work, and schedule the inspection. An oversized impact window in North Andrews Gardens is not a DIY project, and it’s not a job for an installer who only does replacement windows into existing wood frames.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Andrews Gardens
We’re an authorized installer for eight manufacturers, and in North Andrews Gardens the ones that matter most for custom and geometric work are PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. Each of these carries Miami-Dade NOA listings for specific product configurations, which is the non-negotiable starting point for any window going into a 33334 home. Because custom geometric units are fabricated to order, we keep standard hardware and replacement parts stocked for faster service turnaround when a shaped window needs a new operator or a hinge rebuild. You won’t wait three weeks for a replacement sash clip on a window we installed.

Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in North Andrews Gardens Homes
- Jalousie glass that’s ready to fail a wind-mitigation inspection. Original jalousie windows from the 1950s and 1960s offer zero impact resistance and poor energy performance. Insurers in Broward County are increasingly non-renewing or surcharging policies on homes that still have them, which turns window replacement from an aesthetic choice into a financial necessity.
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware. North Andrews Gardens sits three to four miles from the Atlantic, and the prevailing breeze carries salt. Standard aluminum operators on shaped windows pit and seize, leaving sashes that jam or fail design pressure tests. We specify corrosion-resistant hardware on every coastal job we do.
- Water intrusion at the masonry-to-window junction. CBS walls move differently than wood framing, and any installer who flashes a North Andrews Gardens window like they would in a wood-frame house is building a slow leak. We see failed waterproofing around old jalousie openings constantly, and we address it with proper masonry flashing before the new unit goes in.
- Custom windows ordered without NOA documentation. Homeowners sometimes order a beautiful geometric window online or through a big-box retailer, only to have Broward County permit review reject it because the product lacks a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. By then the opening is cut and the schedule is blown. We spec NOA-listed product from the first drawing, so permit review is a formality, not a fight.
Pricing for Custom & Geometric Windows in North Andrews Gardens, FL
Standard impact windows in North Andrews Gardens run between $800 and $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units range from $900 to $1,800 depending on size and frame finish. Custom geometric or shaped windows, because they’re fabricated to exact dimensions and carry more engineering, typically fall between $2,500 and $5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages across a three-bedroom CBS ranch run $8,000 to $25,000 or more, with the final number driven by opening count, window size, design pressure requirements for each elevation, and whether the existing masonry needs repair before new anchors go in.
What moves the price in North Andrews Gardens specifically is the HVHZ requirement. Every window we install here must carry a Miami-Dade NOA, and those products cost more than non-HVHZ alternatives sold in inland or out-of-county markets. But they’re the only products that will pass Broward County permit review and satisfy a wind-mitigation inspection, so there’s no legitimate way to save money by skipping that step. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in North Andrews Gardens
The price anchors above cover the realistic range, but it’s worth understanding what drives the spread. Opening count is the baseline multiplier: a two-window Florida room conversion is on the low end, while a full-home replacement with three oversized openings pushes toward the $25,000 mark. Wind zone matters too. North Andrews Gardens sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every elevation needs product approved for its design pressure, and corner zones near wall edges carry higher requirements than center-of-wall sections. Floor height doesn’t move the needle as much on single-story CBS homes, but openings with more than nine square feet of glass area need stronger framing members and heavier glazing.
Frame material is the last lever. Aluminum is standard and cost-effective on shaped windows, though we recommend powder-coated finishes that resist salt-air pitting. Vinyl is available on some custom configurations but rarely carries NOA approval for the shapes we’re asked to build. We’ll walk through all of this at your kitchen table during the free measure, then put the numbers in writing so there’s no ambiguity.
Florida Pays You Back
There are real incentive programs that offset custom impact window costs in North Andrews Gardens. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows are squarely within that scope. Florida also exempts impact-rated windows and doors from sales tax, which saves roughly 6–7% on the product portion of the invoice. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit allows up to $600 per year for qualifying energy-efficient units. And after installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75–$150) typically yields windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your homeowners policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we can’t guarantee any specific credit, but we can point you to the inspection and documentation you’ll need.
The comparison we hear most in North Andrews Gardens is impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but they don’t address the energy, security, or insurance problems that jalousie and single-pane windows create. You still have to store them, maintain them, and actually be home when the storm arrives to deploy them. Impact windows work every hour of every day, permanently, with nothing to hang and nothing to forget. For a homeowner who’s already staring at an insurance non-renewal letter, that’s usually an easy call.

FAQs — Custom & Geometric Windows in North Andrews Gardens
Yes. Every window installed in North Andrews Gardens, regardless of shape, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance because the entire city sits within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. This applies to hexagons, trapezoids, arches, circles, and any other non-standard geometry. If the product doesn’t have an NOA number for that specific configuration, Broward County permit review will reject it, and you’ll pay to re-spec the window before work can proceed. We only specify and order shaped windows from manufacturers whose NOA listings cover the exact geometry we’re installing. Call (844) 901-4551 to have us spec your opening correctly the first time.
Yes, in most cases. The jalousie openings on North Andrews Gardens CBS homes are typically framed with concrete block that can be cut cleanly to enlarge the rough opening. The work requires a properly sized lintel above the new opening, structural approval on the permit, and masonry anchoring that doesn’t exist on wood-frame installs. We cut the block, set the lintel, anchor the new impact window into the masonry, and flash the opening so water drains away from the wall. We’ve done this exact conversion on a 1960s ranch off NE 56th Street, pulling original jalousie units from a Florida room and rebuilding the openings with custom impact-rated geometric windows from PGT. The existing corroded aluminum jambs and failed waterproofing had to come out with the old sashes before new HVHZ-rated frames went in, and the job passed Broward County inspection without issue.
Salt air three to four miles off the Atlantic corrodes standard aluminum hardware noticeably faster than what you’d see in, say, Plantation or western Broward. Operators pit, hinges bind, and locking mechanisms seize, especially on shaped windows with more moving parts than a standard single-hung. We specify corrosion-resistant hardware and powder-coated frames on every North Andrews Gardens job, and we stock replacement parts for the brands we install so a failing operator gets swapped quickly instead of leaving a sash stuck open. Call (844) 901-4551 if you have a shaped window that’s getting harder to operate, and we’ll tell you whether a hardware upgrade solves it.
Replacing jalousie or single-pane openings with NOA-listed impact windows is the single most effective step you can take to maintain insurability on a North Andrews Gardens home. Broward County insurers are actively non-renewing or surcharging policies on homes with unprotected openings, and a wind-mitigation inspection documenting impact-rated glazing in all openings typically earns premium credits on the windstorm portion of the policy. No carrier guarantees renewal, and each one sets its own underwriting rules, but our customers here consistently report better renewal outcomes after full impact-window replacement. We’ll give you the product documentation your wind-mitigation inspector needs. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free measure and written quote.
Large-missile rating means the glazing survived impact from a nine-pound two-by-four fired at 50 feet per second, which is the test standard for windows in wind-borne debris zones like North Andrews Gardens. Design pressure measures how much wind force the window can withstand while remaining structurally intact and watertight after that impact. Both ratings matter, and they’re specified per opening based on the window’s size, height above grade, and location on the wall. An oversized custom window on a gable end needs a higher design pressure than a small bathroom window on the same wall, and the product we order for each one reflects that calculation. We match design pressures to the opening, never over-specing beyond what the elevations require, and never installing a product rated above +/-100 without a documented reason. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll explain the ratings on your specific openings during the free measure.
