If your Olympia Heights home still has its original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows, you already know the drill: rooms that won’t hold cool air, frames that rattle in an afternoon thunderstorm, and an insurance renewal letter that reads like a warning. Flat inland, just east of the Everglades, Olympia Heights sits squarely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which means window and door replacements here carry the strictest product approval mandates in the country. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we work in Olympia Heights regularly, so we understand the inspection paperwork, the permitting sequence, and the way a 1965 CBS ranch has to be measured. Call us anytime at (727) 620-6983. A real person answers the phone.

Why Olympia Heights Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 and put his name on it. That’s not marketing copy; it’s the reason our Done Right Promise exists. If a window or door install isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. Simple. No ticket number, no escalation queue. Olympia Heights homeowners in neighborhoods like Flagami Terrace and the blocks south of Bird Road near Tropical Park have called us for everything from a single failed patio slider to whole-house impact conversions. They tend to mention the same things: the technician showed up in uniform, background-checked, and walked the job before quoting. The price on the written estimate matched the invoice. And the Miami-Dade NOA documentation was ready for the insurance agent before the final screw was set. We come to Olympia Heights fast, and we bring the same install crew standards to every street. Ed answers for the work, and that keeps our standards honest.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Olympia Heights
Impact Windows
This is the flagship line for Olympia Heights, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass tested to Miami-Dade HVHZ standards isn’t an upgrade here; it’s what your insurer expects when they review your file. We build every unit to the design pressure of its specific opening, never over +/-100, and we match NOA documentation to each configuration before it leaves the shop.

Window Installation
Older Olympia Heights homes rarely have perfectly square rough openings. We measure every buck, shim to true, and install with full Miami-Dade product approval on file. You get a straight reveal and a proper seal, not a caulk-heavy cover-up.

Window Replacement
Replacing a 1960s jalousie with a modern impact-rated single-hung changes the room immediately: cooler afternoons, quieter evenings, and a roof-line you can actually see through. We handle the permit pull, the NOA paperwork, and the haul-away.

Door Installation
Our Door Installation in Olympia Heights covers entry doors, impact-rated front doors, and reinforced frames. A door that doesn’t seal properly is a magnet for humidity damage and a weak point in a wind event. We install Therma-Tru and other rated products with the same permitting discipline as our windows.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
South Florida sliders take a beating from salt air and afternoon storms. If your track is binding or the glass is original to the house, it is time to replace it. We install our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Olympia Heights to glide and seal properly, sized to your existing opening where framing allows.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Cooling is a year-round budget line in Olympia Heights. Energy-Efficient Windows in Olympia Heights with glazing packages including low-E coatings and argon-filled insulated units can drop cooling load on your AC by roughly 20 to 30 percent depending on your home’s orientation and shading. We help you pick the glass package that fits the opening and the budget.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in the house, and a single-car aluminum door that fails in a storm can pressurize the whole envelope. We install Impact Garage Doors - Olympia Heights rated for Miami-Dade wind loads and back them with the same Done Right Promise.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Mid-century Olympia Heights homes often have angled, trapezoid, or fixed picture windows in the gable ends and entryways. Off-the-shelf units won’t fit. We order custom shapes from Mr-Glass with proper design-pressure ratings, so even the oddball openings stay compliant.
Roof Repair
Windows don’t protect a house alone. We also handle roof repair across Olympia Heights, and many of our window customers have us assess the roof the same day. A leak near a fascia line is often discovered during a window replacement walk-through.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing, installed to Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements with full permit documentation. Impact openings mean little if the roof deck isn’t tied down properly. We inspect both systems when the project calls for it.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Whether the home has original clay tile or a newer architectural shingle, Olympia Heights weather punishes roof systems over time. We install replacement roofs that withstand the same wind and rain we design your windows for.

Why Olympia Heights’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Olympia Heights sits on the western edge of Miami-Dade, close enough to the Everglades that the humidity arrives early and stays late. Corrosion moves fast on uncoated aluminum frames here; we frequently find original 1960s frames with pitted tracks and failed corner seals, even when the glass looks fine. The afternoon thunderstorm cycle is relentless in the summer, driving water against southwest-facing window walls and exposing every micro-gap in old caulk.
The housing stock adds its own wrinkle. Most homes in Olympia Heights are concrete block ranch-style builds from roughly 1950 to 1975. Their rough openings were sized for jalousie or narrow-frame single-pane units, and those dimensions don’t line up with today’s off-the-shelf impact sizes. When we replace a window on a 1962 CBS ranch near Tropical Park, we often need custom sizing or a masonry buck adjustment. It is the difference between an install that sits flush and seals correctly, and one that leaks air and water from day one. This isn’t a detail a faceless installer from out of county bothers with. It’s why we measure every opening twice.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Olympia Heights
In Olympia Heights, impact window pricing usually runs between $800 and $1,900 per opening, installed, depending on size, frame material, and the design pressure required for that specific wall. A standard impact front entry door typically lands between $2,500 and $5,000 installed. Sliding glass patio doors range from $3,000 to $7,000, and an impact garage door for a single-car opening generally runs $2,400 to $4,000. If the opening is non-standard, which many Olympia Heights homes have, expect the unit cost to edge upward because of custom fabrication.
We write itemized, fixed-price estimates. The price you approve is the price you pay. No change orders appear mid-job for things we should have caught at the walk-through. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10 percent discount. Any repair over $200 is $40 off, and if you already hold a written estimate from another company, we will provide a free second opinion.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Olympia Heights
Yes, for replacements on existing homes. Olympia Heights is in the HVHZ, which means any new or replacement window or door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or equivalent Florida Product Approval. Your insurer will ask for that documentation. We pull permits, supply the NOA paperwork, and match each unit’s design pressure to its specific opening, never above +/-100.
For a typical 1950s to 1970s CBS ranch with 10 to 14 openings, a full impact window replacement in Olympia Heights generally falls between $10,000 and $28,000 installed, before any available incentives or discounts. The exact number depends on opening sizes, frame material, and how many units require custom sizing. Call (727) 620-6983 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
It often does, and in Olympia Heights the math can be significant. South Florida insurers are actively non-renewing or surcharging policies on homes with unpermitted or non-impact openings. After a wind-mitigation inspection, carriers frequently apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. The inspection itself typically costs between $75 and $150. We can’t guarantee what your carrier does, but we provide the documentation they ask for.
Yes, we do. Every impact window, door, and garage door we install in Olympia Heights goes through the proper permitting process. The Miami-Dade NOA approval is matched to the specific product configuration before installation begins. You receive the documentation for your files and for your insurance carrier.
You can, and it is actually a smart sequence. We work on both systems, and coordinating the two means the roof-to-wall connection, fascia, and window heads all get addressed in one pass. It also saves time on the back end with inspections. Ask about bundling when you call for your estimate.
Florida Pays Olympia Heights Homeowners Back
There is real money available for Olympia Heights homeowners making wind-mitigation upgrades. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying improvements; impact windows and doors commonly qualify. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit can return 30 percent of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And then there’s the insurance angle: after a wind-mitigation inspection, many carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of the policy. Final numbers depend on your carrier and the program’s current funding, but the stack is worth investigating. We can point you to the right paperwork for each program.
One comparison worth making: impact windows are not the same as hurricane shutters. Shutters only work when someone is home to close them, and they do nothing for energy efficiency, noise, or daily comfort. Impact glass is always on duty. It sits in the opening, laminated and sealed, protecting the house in a storm and lowering your cooling bill the other 364 days of the year. In Olympia Heights, where the afternoon heat and the summer storm season split the calendar, that permanence matters.

What Olympia Heights 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."
