Why Miami Shores Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Most window companies drive through Miami Shores and see another job. We see a historic district with specific rules, salt-air corrosion patterns, and homeowners who’ve been burned before by vague estimates or warranties that disappear. We’ve been doing this since 2011, and Ed Winslow runs the company personally. That means when we quote a project on NE 5th Avenue or Biscayne Drive, Ed stands behind it with the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. A lasting standard no national chain would even consider putting in writing.
Our license number and address are published for anyone to check. Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking up your driveway before the first handshake. We serve the historic core near Griffing Blvd, the tree-lined streets off NE 93rd St, and every other corner of the Village. Homeowners call us because our pricing is upfront, our answers are straight, and someone picks up the phone 24/7.
Key takeaways:
- Owner-operated since 2011, with Ed Winslow personally accountable for every job
- Done Right Promise in writing
- Live person answers 24/7, no voicemail loops

Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami Shores
Impact Windows
Our flagship line for Miami Shores. We install laminated impact glass from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows with Miami-Dade NOA approval and HVHZ compliance wherever your wind zone requires it. Design pressures are matched to each opening, never over-rated beyond what the structure actually needs.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in Miami Shores.
Window Installation
Miami Shores’ CBS homes from the 1930s through 1950s have thick masonry walls and original steel casement or jalousie openings. We handle the custom bucks and reframing those openings require before modern units can be properly set and flashed.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami Shores.
Window Replacement
Replacing windows on a historic-contributing home in Miami Shores isn’t a simple swap. We coordinate with the Village Historic Preservation Board when needed and source units that meet both impact codes and historic-sightline requirements.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami Shores.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, side lites, and transoms all fall under the same wind-load scrutiny as windows in Miami Shores. We install Therma-Tru and impact-rated door systems that hold up to salt air and hurricane season.
Learn more about our door installation in Miami Shores by calling (844) 901-4551.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Salt-laden air off Biscayne Bay accelerates hardware failure on sliding doors throughout Miami Shores. We replace rollers, tracks, and full panel systems with marine-grade stainless hardware so your sliders don’t seize up two years after install.
Learn more about our sliding glass and patio door work in Miami Shores by calling (844) 901-4551.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Original louvered jalousies in Miami Shores leak conditioned air year-round. New low-E, insulated units typically cut cooling loads 20–30%, and Miami Shores homeowners can stack state and federal incentives on top of that savings.
Learn more about energy-efficient windows in Miami Shores by calling (844) 901-4551.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening in most Miami Shores homes and often the weakest point in a windstorm. We install impact-rated garage doors engineered for Miami-Dade wind pressures.
Learn more about impact garage doors in Miami Shores by calling (844) 901-4551.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Round-tops, arches, and trapezoids appear throughout Miami Shores’ Mediterranean Revival homes. We fabricate custom impact units that follow those original shapes without compromising the historic profile.
Learn more about custom and geometric windows in Miami Shores by calling (844) 901-4551.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors are only as good as the roof protecting them. We repair leaks and storm damage on Miami Shores roofs, including flat tiles and barrel profiles common to the historic district.
Learn more about roof repair in Miami Shores by calling (844) 901-4551.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement with shingle, tile, or metal systems rated for Miami-Dade wind zones. We pull permits, pass inspections, and stand behind the work the same way we do on every window and door.
Learn more about roof replacement in Miami Shores by calling (844) 901-4551.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Miami Shores’ barrel-tile roofs date to the same 1930s–1950s building boom as the windows. We match replacement profiles that satisfy both the Village’s aesthetic standards and current wind codes.

Why Miami Shores’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami Shores sits immediately west of Biscayne Bay, and that location defines what your windows and doors have to survive. Salt-laden air moves through the Village year-round, and it eats aluminum frames from the inside out. We regularly pull original 1940s casements in Miami Shores where the hardware has corroded to powder while the glass still looks fine. It’s why marine-grade stainless hardware matters here more than in inland neighborhoods a few miles away. Positioned in the Atlantic hurricane belt, Miami Shores homes also face design wind pressures that make impact-laminated glazing the baseline, not the upgrade.
The housing stock compounds it. Most Miami Shores homes are single-family CBS homes built between the 1930s and 1950s, with thick concrete block walls and original steel casement or louvered jalousie windows set deep into the masonry. Those openings were never sized for modern impact units. Proper installation means custom bucks, careful flashing, and often reframing before a new unit can sit correctly. A crew that only does standard window swaps in newer subdivisions will get this wrong in Miami Shores, and the failures show up as leaks and binding sashes within a year.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami Shores
Entry-level impact windows in Miami Shores start around $800–$1,200 per opening installed. Mid-range PGT or CGI units run $1,200–$2,000 each. Custom slim-profile, simulated-divided-lite casements built to satisfy the Village Historic Preservation Board typically run $1,800–$3,000 per opening. Impact doors start around $2,500 installed. Full-home window replacement on a 3-bedroom CBS home in Miami Shores usually lands between $18,000 and $40,000 depending on the historic-preservation requirements and unit selection. We give written line-item quotes before any work starts, and the price doesn’t change unless you change scope. No change orders, no surprise add-ons.
Florida Pays Miami Shores Homeowners Back
Florida has real incentives on the table for Miami Shores homeowners, and we’ll help you stack them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75–$150), many insurers cut the windstorm portion of premiums by roughly 25%. Exact numbers depend on your carrier and program eligibility, but the stack is worth pursuing on any major window or door project in Miami Shores.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami Shores
If your home is a contributing structure in the Miami Shores historic district, yes. The Village Historic Preservation Board reviews window and door replacements on contributing homes, and they require new units to replicate the narrow sightlines and divided-lite profiles of the original steel casements. We handle that paperwork and coordinate directly with the HPB so you don’t have to navigate it alone. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll check your property’s status before you spend anything.
Impact window replacement in Miami Shores typically runs $1,200–$2,000 per opening for standard mid-range units, with custom historic-profile units running $1,800–$3,000 each. Your exact price depends on the number of openings, the brand you select, and whether your home falls under HPB review. Call (844) 901-4551 for a written line-item quote, free.
We source slim-profile, simulated-divided-lite impact casements and custom bronze-finish units specifically for Miami Shores historic homes.

What Miami Shores Customers Say
"Someone tried the back slider while we were away. The glass crazed and held, the alarm never had to earn its keep, and the police report reads better than it might have. Ed came out the next morning to check the frame himself."
— Cornelius Adeyemi"We sat out a hurricane behind the windows Ed put in. The gusts threw a neighbour's trampoline down the street and the loudest thing in our house was the kettle. I rang him after to say thank you and he answered his own phone, same as always."
— Thaddeus Okonkwo"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
