AfterTrusted Window Installation for Fountainebleau Homeowners
Window installation in Fountainebleau typically costs $450 to $1,850 per window depending on style, glass package, and framing, with full-home replacement projects starting around $6,000 for a smaller three-bedroom home. Most single-window installations are completed in one day, and we handle everything from permitting to final inspection. If you’re dealing with windows that fog between the panes, rattle when a delivery truck drives down Fontainebleau Boulevard, or make your AC run nonstop from June through October, you’re not alone. We’ve been replacing and upgrading windows in Fountainebleau since 2011, and Ed Winslow personally stands behind every installation. Call (727) 620-6983 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail system.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Every window we install in Fountainebleau gets the same treatment: precise measurements, proper flashing, insulated framing, and a clean finish that looks like the window was always meant to be there. We pull permits when required, schedule inspections, and walk you through the warranty paperwork before we leave. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and that number won’t change when the invoice arrives.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are the workhorse of Florida homes. The double hung version lets you open both the top and bottom sashes, which improves airflow during Fountainebleau’s cooler winter mornings when you want cross-breeze without running the AC. We install double hung windows with tilt-in sashes so you can clean the exterior glass from inside your home, which matters when you’re dealing with second-story windows. Ed often recommends these for bedrooms and living rooms where ventilation flexibility matters most.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows slide left to right on tracks and are common in older Fountainebleau homes built in the 1960s and 70s. They’re practical for wide openings and places where you don’t want a sash projecting outward into a walkway or patio. We replace the entire frame when we install these, not just the sash, because the original aluminum tracks on those older homes are usually pitted and warped from decades of salt air. The upgrade to a modern roller window with dual-pane glass and low-E coating cuts heat gain noticeably in rooms that face west.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
Three-panel sliders open up an entire wall to fresh air and are a favorite for Fountainebleau living rooms overlooking a patio or pool. We measure these openings down to an eighth of an inch because the wider the opening, the more unforgiving the installation. These windows are heavy, and the track system has to be perfectly level or the panels will bind within a year. Winslow teams have been installing 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows for over a decade, and we’ve fixed plenty of national-chain installations where the track sagged because the original crew rushed the framing.
Casement Windows
Casement Windows crank outward on hinges and seal tighter than any sliding window when closed. That makes them a smart choice for Fountainebleau homes where you’re trying to keep cooled air in and humid outdoor air out during the summer. We install casements with multi-point locking hardware, which also makes them harder to pry open from outside. If you have a window over a kitchen sink or in a hard-to-reach spot, a casement’s crank operation is a lot easier to use than lifting a heavy sash.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning & Hopper Windows are ideal for Fountainebleau homes: awnings hinge at the top and open outward, so they work well in the rain and are often paired with picture windows for ventilation without losing the view, while hoppers hinge at the bottom and open inward, usually found in bathrooms and utility rooms. Both styles are compact, and we install them in homes throughout Fountainebleau where homeowners want airflow but don’t have wall space for a full-size window. These smaller windows still need correct flashing and sealing, because a badly flashed awning window leaks into the wall cavity and you won’t see the damage until it’s extensive.
Picture & Fixed Windows
Picture windows don’t open, but they give you the biggest unobstructed view and the best glass-to-frame ratio for energy efficiency. Many Fountainebleau homes use picture windows to frame a lake view or garden area where ventilation isn’t the priority. We install these with the same impact-rated and low-E glass options we use for operable windows. One common mistake we see from other installers is using the wrong glazing compound on large fixed panes, which leads to seal failure within a few years. Our installation method on fixed windows prioritizes seal longevity because replacing the glass later costs more than doing it right the first time.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and for our Fountainebleau customers we regularly recommend and install ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass. ECO Window Systems makes impact-rated windows engineered for South Florida’s wind codes, and we’ve installed enough of them to know exactly how their anchoring system should be fastened to masonry and wood-frame homes alike. Their glass packages perform well under Miami-Dade’s strict testing standards, which matters when a hurricane warning puts your windows to the test.
Mr-Glass is known for custom-sized windows, which comes up more often than you’d expect in Fountainebleau’s older homes where wall openings don’t always match modern standard sizes. ViewLux offers slim-frame aluminum windows that maximize glass area, and we’ve seen homeowners surprised at how much more light comes through compared to bulky vinyl frames. Whether you’ve got an existing brand in mind or you want Ed’s recommendation based on your home’s architecture and exposure, we’ll install it properly and warrant the work.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Condensation between the glass panes. When the seal on a double-pane window fails, moisture gets trapped inside the glass unit. That fog means the insulating gas has escaped and the window is now working against your AC. This isn’t a cleaning problem; the glass unit needs replacement, and in Fountainebleau’s humidity you’ll see it happen to most windows that are 15 to 20 years old.
- Windows that stick, jam, or won’t stay open. As frames warp in the heat and the hardware wears out, windows become hard to operate. A window that slams shut on its own is a finger injury waiting to happen, especially for kids. If you’re fighting your windows every time you want fresh air, it’s time to replace the unit rather than keep limping it along.
- Drafts you can feel with your hand. Hold your palm near the window frame on a breezy day. If you feel air moving around the edges, your window isn’t sealing. That’s hot, humid air coming in and cooled air leaking out. In Fountainebleau, where summer electric bills can spike hard, leaky windows cost real money every month.
- Visible damage to frames, sashes, or sills. Rot, rust, cracked caulk, or soft spots when you press on the wood are signs that water has been getting where it shouldn’t. By the time you see the damage, the structural opening may already be compromised. Replacing the window before water migrates into the wall framing saves you from a much bigger repair.
- Your home still has original single-pane windows. Single-pane glass does almost nothing to block heat, noise, or flying debris. Many Fountainebleau homes built before the 1980s still have them. Upgrading to impact-rated dual-pane windows changes how your home feels within a week, and it’s one of the highest-return improvements you can make before a storm season arrives.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and assess. Ed or one of our senior techs comes to your Fountainebleau home and measures every window opening, checks the rough framing, and evaluates the wall type. We don’t measure from the old window; we measure the actual opening, because the old frame is usually not square and “close enough” is how you get gaps and air leaks.
- 2
Recommend and quote. Based on what we find, we recommend the right window style and glass package for each opening and give you a written line-item quote. The number on that quote is the number you’ll pay. If we discover something during removal that changes the scope, we’ll stop and explain it before any additional cost is added.
- 3
Permit and schedule. Where Fountainebleau or Miami-Dade County requires a permit for window installation, we pull it. We handle the paperwork and coordinate the inspection. You’ll get a solid install date, and our crew shows up on time, in uniform, with a background-checked team you’ll recognize from the photos we send ahead.
- 4
Remove and install. We remove the old window carefully so the surrounding wall is not damaged, then install the new unit with proper flashing, shims, and insulation. The window is anchored according to the manufacturer’s hurricane-rated specifications, which is where amateur installs go wrong. We seal, trim, and clean up the work area before we load the truck.
- 5
Inspect and walk through. After installation, we go over the new window with you: operation, locking, cleaning, and warranty. If an inspection is required, we’ll be there for it and correct anything the inspector flags. You get a copy of every warranty document, and Ed’s phone number if you ever have a question after we leave.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Fountainebleau?
A new window installation in Fountainebleau generally runs $450 to $1,850 per window, fully installed. A standard single or double hung with dual-pane glass and low-E coating starts around $450 to $700 per window. Casements and awnings tend to run $600 to $1,000 because the crank hardware costs more. Picture windows can range widely, from $500 for a modest fixed pane up to $1,500 or more for a large custom unit. Impact-rated windows from brands like ECO Window Systems or Mr-Glass add $400 to $800 per window over standard glass, which reflects the reinforced frames and laminated glass that Miami-Dade code requires for full protection.
What affects the price most is the glass package, the window style, the condition of the rough opening, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated. Homes with rotted framing or windows that were never flashed correctly will cost more because the repair work has to happen before the new window goes in. To avoid overpaying, get a written quote that separates labor, material, and permit fees. Our free estimates include all of that, and we offer free second opinions on any written estimate you’ve received from another company. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll come out, measure, and hand you a real number.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Installation in Fountainebleau
Window installation is the process of removing an old or failing window and installing a new one into the wall opening, including flashing, sealing, anchoring, and trimming. It’s not the same as window replacement glass, which only swaps the glass unit inside an existing frame. A full installation replaces the entire window assembly, which is what you need when frames are warped, seals have failed, or you’re upgrading to impact-rated windows in Fountainebleau. Ed Winslow has overseen thousands of full window installations since 2011.
Most single window installations in Fountainebleau take one day from removal to final cleanup. A full home with ten to fifteen windows typically takes two to three working days. Impact-rated windows add a few hours because the anchoring requirements are more involved. We’ll give you a clear time estimate when we provide your written quote, and we finish when the work is done right, not when the clock runs out.
Window installation in Fountainebleau costs $450 to $1,850 per window depending on style, size, glass package, and framing condition.
