Westchester homeowners deal with two realities: some of the toughest wind codes in the country, and a housing stock full of original 1950s and 1960s openings that were never built for them. If you’re looking at impact windows or replacement doors in the 33144 zip code, the short answer on cost is $800 to $2,800 per opening for NOA-rated impact units installed, and $600 to $1,900 for most door replacements. Winslow Windows & Doors is the local contractor our neighbors call at (844) 901-4551, and you’ll get a live person on the line, not a voicemail tree.

Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westchester
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship service for Westchester. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval per configuration, installed to HVHZ design pressures matched to each opening. No panels to hang, no shutters to store. Learn more about impact windows in Westchester.
Window Installation
We install replacement windows in masonry CBS openings using buck-and-anchor methods that hold up to the HVHZ requirements your permits demand. New construction or retrofit, we match the method to the opening. Learn more about window installation in Westchester.
Window Replacement
Most Westchester homes still carry original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows. Those openings need full-frame replacement once a permit is pulled, and we handle the entire scope. Learn more about window replacement in Westchester.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and side-lite configurations, all installed to Florida Product Approval standards for Westchester’s wind zone. We match door hardware and thresholds to handle the afternoon downpours this area gets every summer.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Westchester’s ranch homes often have wide patio openings that let in light and, after 50 years, plenty of water too. Impact-rated sliding glass doors restore the view and keep the wind out, with multi-point locking systems that work.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coated glass and insulated frames cut heat transfer in Westchester’s subtropical climate, where air conditioning runs nine months a year. Homeowners typically see a 20 to 30 percent reduction in cooling costs during summer months after replacing single-pane aluminum.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening on the house and a weak point during any high-wind event. We install impact-rated garage doors that carry Florida Product Approval for Westchester’s wind zone.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Mid-century ranches sometimes have odd-shaped openings: arches, trapezoids, picture windows in front gables. We order custom geometries built to spec and installed full-frame, never with trim fillers that look like afterthoughts.
Roof Repair
A roof issue found during a window or door install is more common in Westchester than you’d think. We repair flashing, replace damaged shingles, and stop the leak at its source.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems installed to Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards. A new roof and new impact windows together qualify you for wind-mitigation insurance credits.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Westchester homes skew heavily toward barrel tile and shingle, but we also install standing seam metal for homeowners who want a decades-long service life with minimal maintenance.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westchester
We work across the full 33144 zip code, and because our crews are dispatched from our South Florida office in Miami, we can typically get to most Westchester homes the same day you call. You’ll see our trucks around these areas regularly:
- Bird Road corridor
- Coral Way corridor
- Westchester Club and Country Club of Miami area
- Snapper Creek neighborhoods near Tropical Park
- Tamiami area along SW 8th Street
Why Westchester’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westchester sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation that mandates every replacement window and door carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. The dense stock of pre-1993 CBS ranch homes, built before Hurricane Andrew forced a complete code overhaul, makes full impact-rated replacement the dominant job type in Westchester, not simple repairs. These homes were built with masonry openings and no nail fin, so proper installation requires buck-and-anchor methods, not the flange-set approach you’d see on wood-frame construction. Even when a hurricane doesn’t hit directly, Westchester’s subtropical exposure means relentless UV, 100-percent humidity cycling, and wind-driven rain from routine afternoon storms. Aging aluminum frames oxidize, hardware corrodes, and perimeter sealant fails. Once you pull a permit, those old openings must be brought to current NOA impact standards.
The jalousie factor matters here. A large share of Westchester’s older ranches still have louvered glass jalousie windows in bedrooms, hallways, and enclosed Florida rooms. These windows cannot be made HVHZ-compliant under any Miami-Dade NOA, so every jalousie opening becomes a mandatory full-frame replacement the moment a permit is filed. No grandfathering, no exceptions. We handle that conversion on nearly every whole-home replacement we do in the 33144 zip code.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Westchester
Florida Pays Westchester Homeowners Back
Florida’s incentive stack is real, and Westchester homeowners qualify. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which include impact windows and doors. Florida’s sales tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors removes the sales tax on those purchases entirely. The federal 25C energy credit returns up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units, a 30 percent credit on product costs. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many Westchester homeowners see windstorm premium reductions averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we can’t quote your credit precisely. We can tell you how the products we install have performed for other homeowners in your situation.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters
You can hang shutters before every storm, or you can install impact windows once and never think about them again. Shutters have to be stored, lifted, and bolted, and they only work when somebody is home to put them up. Impact windows are in place 24/7, which matters if a storm hits while you’re at work or the house is empty. Permanent protection also means no pre-storm scramble to buy plywood at the last minute. Most Westchester homeowners we talk to choose impact windows, and once they’re installed, they also get the energy savings and noise reduction benefits that shutters don’t provide.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westchester
How much does impact window replacement cost in Westchester?
Impact window replacement in Westchester typically costs $800 to $2,800 per opening installed, with most standard-size windows landing between $1,100 and $1,800. Jalousie conversions and larger openings run higher because the full frame must be rebuilt to accept an NOA-rated unit. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free line-item estimate.
Will the price change once work starts?
No. We quote fixed pricing before any work begins, and the number on your contract is the number on your invoice. If we find rotted framing or a hidden structural issue, we’ll show you and get approval before any change order. We don’t do surprise invoices.
Do you pull the permits for window and door replacement in Westchester?
Yes. Every replacement window and door in Westchester requires a permit, and we handle the full process from application to final inspection. HVHZ compliance is not optional in this area, and we don’t do unpermitted work. Our installs are engineered to the design pressures specified for each opening, never a generic rating.
How long does a whole-home window replacement take in Westchester?
For most Westchester ranch homes, installation goes as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication for impact-rated units typically runs 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery. We’ll give you a clear timeline when you get your estimate.
Can I keep my original jalousie windows if I’m not pulling a permit?
You can, for now. But the moment any permitted work touches those openings, every jalousie window becomes a mandatory full-frame replacement under Miami-Dade’s HVHZ rules. There’s no grandfathering. Many Westchester homeowners get ahead of it and convert jalousies to impact-rated units on their own schedule, which lets them plan the work instead of having it forced by a permit trigger.

What Westchester Customers Say
"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."
— Rosalind Beaumont"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
