AfterWindows & Doors Services in Pinecrest, FL
If you live in Pinecrest, you already know the drill: your windows and doors are doing far more than letting in light. They’re your first line of defense against hurricane season, your answer to Miami-Dade’s strictest building codes in the country, and a major factor in how much you pay to cool a mid-century ranch home on a half-acre lot. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, owned by Ed Winslow, and we’ve spent over 15 years helping Pinecrest homeowners navigate impact windows, custom door replacements, and everything in between. Call (844) 901-4551 and a live person answers, day or night.
Key Takeaways:
- Every replacement window or door in Pinecrest must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). We handle the paperwork.

- Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate. A real person picks up.

Why Pinecrest Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Pinecrest isn’t Kendall. The homes along Ludlam Road and down Old Cutler are older, bigger, and built with openings that were never meant to hold a standard replacement window. We know this because we’ve measured hundreds of them, from the ranch-style estates near Pinecrest Gardens to the newer builds tucked behind the old banyan canopies. Our crew has replaced original jalousie windows near the 33156 corridor and retrofitted wall-to-wall sliding glass doors facing pool decks off 64th Avenue. That familiarity means we show up knowing what we’ll find, not guessing.
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with the same accountability a local owner would expect. Pinecrest homeowners have come to us after national chains handed them a ticket number and a six-week window. They come back because when something isn’t right, we make it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s the Done Right Promise, and it’s been our standard since 2011.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Pinecrest
We’re a full exterior-protection specialist for Pinecrest homes, meaning windows, doors, and the roof above them all fall under one accountable roof. Here’s what that looks like for your house.
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Pinecrest, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval per configuration is what gets your permit through the first time. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Pinecrest.
Window Installation
We install windows that meet HVHZ design pressures matched to each opening, never a rating above +/-100. Our installers are trained on the exact fastening and anchoring schedules Miami-Dade inspectors look for in Pinecrest. Learn more about our Window Installation in Pinecrest.
Window Replacement
Most Pinecrest homes we service still have single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows from the 1960s and 70s. Replacing them with impact-rated units changes how the house handles wind, heat, and noise immediately. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Pinecrest.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and especially the oversized glass doors common in mid-century Pinecrest estates all need proper anchoring and sealing, which is why our Pinecrest Door Installation service uses HVHZ-rated hardware. We install Therma-Tru and other premium brands with HVHZ-rated hardware.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Those full wall-to-wall sliders opening to your pool deck—what we call Pinecrest Sliding Glass & Patio Doors? They’re the most common weak point in Pinecrest homes. We custom-fabricate impact-rated sliders to match your existing track width and opening height.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Between the salt air corroding old frames and the summer sun baking flat-roofed ranch homes, Energy-Efficient Windows in Pinecrest help. Homeowners typically see 20-30% cooling savings after replacing original single-pane units.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in a Pinecrest house. We install Impact Garage Doors in Pinecrest with reinforced tracks and bracing that meet HVHZ wind loads for the 33156 area.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Pinecrest’s modernist estates sometimes feature circular, angled, or trapezoid windows. Off-the-shelf doesn’t exist for those. We measure, fabricate, and install impact-rated custom shapes.
Roof Repair, Replacement & Installation
Your windows and doors are only as good as the roof above them. We handle shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Pinecrest, including storm-damage repair and full replacements that tie into your wall and window system.
Those ten categories cover nearly every exterior opening on a Pinecrest property. If you’re unsure where to start, call us and describe what’s failing. We’ll tell you what’s worth fixing first.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Pinecrest
We work throughout Pinecrest’s residential streets, from the tree-lined lots near Pinecrest Gardens to the estates along Old Cutler Road and the quieter blocks off 112th Street. Typical response time for a Pinecrest estimate is same-week scheduling, and because we schedule by area, we can often accommodate homeowners who need measurements taken before the weekend.

Why Pinecrest’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Pinecrest sits squarely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest impact-window and door code in the United States. Every replacement unit must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a standard that goes beyond what the rest of Florida requires. That’s not optional, and it’s not a talking point. It’s what the Village of Pinecrest’s permitting office checks on every single window permit, even if you’re only swapping one unit.
Add to that the housing stock itself. Pinecrest is almost entirely single-story, mid-century ranch and modernist estate homes built from the late 1940s through the 1970s on oversized lots. Many of those homes feature full glass door walls and expansive sliding patio doors opening to pool decks. Those are large, non-standard openings that demand custom-fabricated impact-rated products, not standard replacement sizes common in tract-home markets like Kendall. And though Pinecrest sits several miles inland from Biscayne Bay, enough salt-laden air reaches the area to accelerate corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware. Combined with 140+ mph design wind speeds under HVHZ, that corrosion means low-cost, non-impact products are a legal and practical non-starter here.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Pinecrest
Honest ranges, based on what we’ve actually installed in Pinecrest:
- Impact window (standard size, per unit installed): $850 – $1,600
- Custom-sized impact window (non-standard opening): $1,400 – $2,800
- Impact sliding glass door (standard 6′ to 8′ panel): $3,000 – $5,500
- Custom impact slider (8′ to 16′ multi-panel): $6,000 – $14,000

- Full-home window replacement (1950s-70s ranch, mixed custom sizes): $18,000 – $45,000
These are installed prices, not product-only. Custom fabrication for large Pinecrest openings runs 4-6 weeks before installation. Once units arrive, single-day installation is realistic for most projects. We give written line-item quotes with no change orders, and we honor the permanent offers: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge inside our home county, and 10% off for seniors and veterans.
Florida Pays Pinecrest Homeowners Back
Pinecrest homeowners have access to real incentive money for impact upgrades. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, and Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax entirely. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection (which typically runs $75 to $150), many Pinecrest homeowners also see windstorm premium reductions averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t guarantee final numbers, because insurance carriers and program administrators set those. But we’ll help you understand what applies to your house.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Pinecrest Should Know
Shutters work, but only when you’re home to hang them and only if you can lift them. Impact windows protect your home permanently, with no panels to store, no tracks to maintain, and no panic when a storm shifts course while you’re out of town. For Pinecrest’s older homes with large glass openings, impact windows also add daily value: UV protection for furniture and floors, noticeable noise reduction on busy streets, and the 20-30% cooling savings that matter most in a Miami summer. A big-box retail installer might offer you a cheaper window, but they won’t pull your Pinecrest permit, won’t know the NOA database, and won’t be here if the inspector flags the anchoring. That’s the difference between buying a product and solving the problem.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Pinecrest
Most Pinecrest homes pay between $18,000 and $45,000 for a full-home replacement, depending on how many custom-sized openings you have and which impact rating you choose. Standard impact windows run $850 to $1,600 per unit installed, while custom sizes for mid-century openings run $1,400 to $2,800. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Yes. Every window or door replacement in Pinecrest, even a single unit, goes through Miami-Dade HVHZ permit review, which requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the specific product and configuration you’re installing. We file the paperwork, pull the permit, and schedule the inspection. It’s part of the job, not an extra line item.
No. We write fixed line-item quotes and we do not issue change orders unless you ask for additional work beyond the original scope. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice. That’s how Ed Winslow has run this business since day one.
Custom fabrication for large, non-standard openings runs 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. Once your units are in hand, installation is typically as fast as a single day for most projects, even on larger ranch homes. The wait is in the fabrication, not the labor.
If you’re replacing existing windows or doors, Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code requires impact-rated or otherwise code-compliant products that carry a valid NOA. You cannot legally install non-impact replacement windows on an existing Pinecrest home and pass inspection. We’ll verify NOA compliance for every unit before we order.

What Pinecrest Customers Say
"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"Excellent work and a fair price for what it is, though impact glass is never cheap and one bedroom window arrived with a scratched pane. Ed flagged it before I saw it and the replacement went in without me chasing anyone."
— Bartholomew Crenshaw"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
