Why Miami Lakes Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Homeowners in the Lake Patricia and Lake Martha areas have called us for the same reason people in the Loch Lomond and Royal Oaks neighborhoods do: our installers show up in uniform, background-checked, and Ed stands behind the work with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. No national chain offers anything close to that. Homeowners have been burned before by vague estimates that balloon after the check clears, no-show crews, and warranties that evaporate once a salesperson gets their commission. We operate differently. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice. Our published address and license number are right there for anyone to verify. And as an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, we’re not guessing at product approvals when the county inspector walks up the driveway.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami Lakes
Impact Windows in Miami Lakes
Impact windows are the flagship line for this market, and for good reason. Miami Lakes sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, meaning every replacement window must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance proving it meets HVHZ wind-load and impact standards. We install laminated impact glass with design pressures matched to each opening, never a blanket rating that doesn’t reflect the actual wind load on that wall.

Window Installation
Window installation in Miami Lakes requires more than a clean rough opening. The county is strict about product approvals and fasteners, and inspectors will fail a window that isn’t on the Miami-Dade approved-product list even if it passed inspection in Broward County the week before. We install to Miami-Dade code the first time.

Window Replacement
Many of the original aluminum single-pane windows in Miami Lakes homes built between 1962 and the early 1990s have reached the end of their life. Lake humidity accelerates corrosion, and the jalousie doors that are charming in photos are porous in a storm. We replace them with impact-rated, energy-certified units that satisfy the county and reduce cooling demand.

Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and interior doors all get the same treatment: measured precisely, installed square, and sealed properly against Florida humidity. We install Therma-Tru doors that hold up to the moisture and heat of Miami Lakes without warping.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
A lake view deserves a door that doesn’t leak air and doesn’t require a fight to open. We replace old sliders with modern impact-rated, energy-efficient sliding glass and patio doors that operate smoothly and meet Miami-Dade code.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Miami Lakes lacks the coastal breeze that moderates oceanside communities, and the man-made lakes keep ambient humidity high. Energy-efficient windows reduce that cooling load. We keep our energy claims honest: homeowners typically see a 20-30% reduction in cooling costs, not the fantasy numbers some contractors float.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening on most Miami Lakes homes, and a non-impact garage door turns a garage into a wind tunnel during a storm. We install impact garage doors rated for the HVHZ.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some homes in Miami Lakes have arched windows or geometric glass that big-box installers won’t touch. We fabricate and install custom shapes that match the original architecture and meet the county’s impact standards.
Roof Repair
Winslow also handles roof repair across Miami Lakes, fixing leaks and storm damage before they become interior problems. The same team that installs your windows can patch your roof.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Miami Lakes means shingle, tile, or metal installed to Miami-Dade wind-load requirements. We pull permits, pass inspections, and stand behind the work.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Miami Lakes homes carry a mix of roofing materials depending on the era and the original Graham Companies build specs. We work in all three: shingle, tile, and metal, installed to code and done right.

Why Miami Lakes’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami Lakes is a master-planned community the Graham Companies began building in 1962 around a network of man-made lakes. Virtually every neighborhood sits water-adjacent. That sounds idyllic, and it is, but lake water and Florida humidity have a documented side effect: they dramatically accelerate corrosion on the original aluminum single-pane windows and jalousie doors still found throughout the town’s 1960s through early-1990s housing stock. Add the fact that Miami Lakes lacks the coastal sea breeze that moderates oceanside communities, and ambient humidity sits higher than in drier inland suburbs. The result: weatherstripping degrades faster, thresholds rot faster, and aluminum frames pit and fail faster than homeowners expect. So the lake-corrosion problem and the impact-code mandate collide on nearly every replacement job. Every window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone designation, the strictest product-approval standard in the continental US. A contractor who doesn’t know that will cost you time and re-inspection fees.

Florida Pays Miami Lakes Homeowners Back
Miami Lakes homeowners can stack several programs to offset the cost of impact windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, typically $75-$150, many carriers credit roughly 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. We don’t control those programs or your carrier’s final numbers, but we can point you to the right paperwork. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll walk through what applies to your home.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami Lakes
Do I need Miami-Dade NOA approval for replacement windows in Miami Lakes?
Yes. Miami Lakes is in Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance proving it meets HVHZ wind-load and impact standards. County inspectors will fail a rough-in if the exact product model isn’t on the Miami-Dade approved-product list, even if the same unit passed inspection in another Florida county the week before. We install only approved products and match design pressures to each opening. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free estimate and we’ll verify your current openings are compliant.
How much does impact glass cost in Miami Lakes?
Impact window replacement in Miami Lakes typically runs $750 to $1,400 per opening, depending on size, design pressure, and whether the frame itself needs replacement. Full-home replacements on a typical 10-15 opening CBS home run $12,000 to $22,000. The My Safe Florida Home grant can cover up to $10,000 of qualifying upgrades, and the state sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant units. Call (727) 620-6983 for an exact quote, your estimate is free.
Will the price change once the work starts?
No. We run on upfront pricing. The number we put on your written estimate is the number on your invoice, unless you change the scope. No change orders, no material upcharges, no discoveries that suddenly double the cost. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That means something around here.
Can you replace just the jalousie doors on my older Miami Lakes home?
Yes. Jalousie doors are common on the original 1960s and 1970s homes in Miami Lakes, and they’re typically replaced with impact-rated sliding glass doors or French doors that meet current Miami-Dade code. The opening size matters. Some older jalousie door rough openings are non-standard, which means we may need to adjust the framing. We measure, confirm the product is on the approved list, and pull permits before we start. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll take a look.
Do you pull permits in Miami Lakes?
We pull permits on every job that requires them, and window and door replacements in Miami Lakes almost always require them. The town’s code enforcement is strict, and unpermitted work creates problems when you sell the home. We handle the permit package, coordinate the inspections, and don’t call the job done until the inspector signs off. That’s part of the Done Right standard.

What Miami Lakes Customers Say
"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"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
- Yolanda Betancourt"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."
