If your Miami Springs home still has its original jalousie windows or a front door that swells shut every summer, you’re not alone. Most of the housing stock here dates to the 1920s through 1940s, and those beautiful Curtiss-era homes were built long before Miami-Dade County adopted the strictest wind codes in the nation. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we help Miami Springs homeowners replace aging windows and doors with impact-rated systems that hold up to hurricanes, cut down the airport noise, and actually fit the older rough openings you’ll find in this city’s homes. Call (850) 930-1813 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.

Why Miami Springs Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 with a simple rule: put your name on the work, and answer the phone like it matters. Homeowners across the Country Club Estates and Westward Drive neighborhoods have called us for everything from a single replacement window to full-home impact retrofits. They tend to mention two things after the job: the technician arrived when promised and in uniform, and nobody tried to upsell them into a quote they didn’t recognize. That second part is central to how we operate. You get a written line-item estimate before work starts, the price doesn’t change mid-job, and the Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, ES Windows, and Therma-Tru, among others. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and familiar with the permitting requirements Miami Springs applies to its historic neighborhoods. That last point matters more than most people realize when the first quote arrives.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami Springs
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship fix for Miami Springs homes. Laminated glass with interlayers tested to Miami-Dade NOA standards protects your openings from windborne debris without shutters to haul out of the garage. In a city directly under MIA’s flight paths, they also take a serious bite out of cabin-level aircraft noise. Learn more about our impact windows in Miami Springs.
Window Installation
Older CBS homes in Miami Springs have rough openings sized for jalousie frames and steel casements, not modern impact units. Our installers shim, flash, and anchor each unit to the opening’s actual design pressure, so the finished window looks intentional, not forced. Learn more about our window installation in Miami Springs.
Window Replacement
Grayed aluminum frames, fogged glass, cranks that grind to a stop, sills that collect water after every afternoon storm. We pull the old unit, address any stucco or sealant damage around the opening, and set the replacement to meet current code. Learn more about our window replacement in Miami Springs.
Door Installation
Entry doors, side lights, transoms. We install Therma-Tru and Mr-Glass doors rated for Miami-Dade wind loads, sized to older Miami Springs doorways without leaving a gap you can see daylight through.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Original aluminum sliders from the 1960s and 70s rattle in the wind and leak during tropical downpours. We replace them with impact-rated sliders that glide without a fight and seal tight when it counts.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated frames take measurable load off your air conditioner. Homeowners in Miami Springs typically see a 20 to 30 percent reduction in cooling costs after replacing single-pane glass.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest opening on most Miami Springs homes and, if it fails during a storm, the likely point where your roof pressure spikes. We install impact-rated garage doors that carry their own NOA certification.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arched and divided-light windows aren’t optional in Miami Springs’s historic district; they’re part of the architectural character the city protects. We source impact-rated units in arched and casement profiles so replacement work preserves the Mediterranean look. Learn more about our window replacement services in Miami Springs.
Roof Repair, Replacement & Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roofing
Windows and doors only protect your home if the roof above them is sound. Miami Springs’s original barrel-tile roofs and later asphalt shingle replacements both need maintenance in this climate. Our roofing crews handle repairs and full replacements in shingle, tile, or standing seam metal. Visit our home page for a full look at what we do.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami Springs
We work throughout Miami Springs, and we know the difference between a 1930s Curtiss bungalow east of Curtiss Parkway and a 1960s ranch near the golf course. When you call, a live person picks up. We’re locally dispatched, so response time is measured in hours, not days, for estimates anywhere in the city.

Why Miami Springs’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami Springs sits directly under the primary approach and departure paths for Miami International Airport. That one geographic fact changes how you should think about every window and door in your house. A standard impact window sold in Kendall or Hialeah may satisfy Miami-Dade’s NOA hurricane-code requirements but still leave you reaching for earplugs at 6 a.m. while the morning bank turns overhead. Homes here need windows that do two jobs at once: meet HVHZ impact certification, and carry strong STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings for real acoustic isolation. This is the reason we ask about your comfort level with aircraft noise before we spec glass. A laminated impact unit with the right interlayer can reduce perceived aircraft cabin noise by up to 40 percent compared to single-pane jalousies. That’s a quality-of-life difference you notice the first week, not a spec-sheet abstraction.
Then there’s the housing stock itself. Glenn Curtiss platted Miami Springs in the 1920s as a planned Mediterranean Revival town, and the homes from that era were built with concrete block, stucco, jalousie or steel casement windows, and solid wood doors. The jalousies are gone in many homes after decades of replacements, but the rough openings remain original. When we install a modern impact window into a 1930s opening, we’re often reframing around rotted wood bucks, reprofiling stucco returns, and correcting opening sizes by fractions of an inch so the new unit doesn’t fight its own frame. It’s slower, more careful work than what a production crew does on a 2000s-era house in Doral. But it’s the only way to get an impact rating that actually means something when the next storm takes aim at the city.
One more Miami Springs-specific wrinkle: the city’s historic preservation ordinance covers the original Curtiss-era neighborhoods, and it restricts what replacement windows and doors can look like in the designated historic district. If your home is contributing to the district, your replacement windows generally need divided-light casement or arched profiles rather than standard horizontal sliders. We’ve pulled these permits in Miami Springs. Most metro crews who have never worked here haven’t, and the difference shows up as a permit denial and a delayed job.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami Springs
Honest pricing, in writing, before you commit. Impact window replacement in Miami Springs typically runs $900 to $1,800 per opening installed, depending on size, design pressure rating, and whether the opening needs reframing. Entry door replacements run $1,200 to $3,500, with impact-rated Therma-Tru doors at the higher end. Sliding glass doors typically run $2,500 to $5,500. Custom arched or divided-light units in the historic district add 25 to 45 percent over a standard slider of the same rough size. Custom fabrication generally takes 4 to 6 weeks before installation day. Every estimate is a free, written line-item quote, and the price quoted is the price you pay. No change orders. No end-of-job surprises.
Florida Pays Miami Springs Homeowners Back
Miami Springs homeowners can stack several incentive programs to offset window and door replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact windows and doors on primary residences. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of qualified product costs, up to $600 per year, on eligible energy-efficient window units. Finally, after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), most Miami Springs homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25 percent on the windstorm portion of the policy. Final numbers are set by your insurer and the program administrators, not by us, and program availability changes. But the stack, when it works, is the most favorable the state has offered in years.
One more comparison worth making before you decide: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less up front. But someone has to put them up, every storm, on every opening, often in the dark and in the rain. Impact windows are permanent protection. There’s no hardware to drag out of the garage, no ladders against the second-story windows, and no panic when a storm forms while you’re out of town. For a homeowner who values not having a pre-storm chore list, that’s the deciding difference.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami Springs
Plan on $900 to $1,800 per opening installed for standard impact windows, with historic-district or custom units running higher. The exact price depends on opening size, design pressure rating, and any reframing the older rough opening requires. Call (850) 930-1813 for a free written estimate that won’t change once work begins.
No. This is the core of the Done Right Promise: the line-item quote you approve is the price you pay. If our crew discovers hidden structural rot or an out-of-square opening mid-job, we stop, show you what we found, and agree on any revised scope before proceeding. Call (850) 930-1813 to schedule an estimate if you’d like to see how we price a job.
Yes, including historic-district approvals when the property requires them. Miami Springs’s preservation ordinance adds a review step for homes in the Curtiss-era historic district, and we handle that process from application to final inspection. Call (850) 930-1813 if you’re not sure whether your home falls inside the district boundary.
Installation can be as fast as a single day once your units arrive, but custom fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks before we schedule the install. Standard-size stock units move faster. The permitting step in Miami Springs, particularly in the historic district, can also add time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in writing with your estimate. Call (850) 930-1813 to start the process.
Yes, though it depends on the glass package. Laminated impact glass with the right interlayer can reduce perceived aircraft noise by up to 40 percent compared to single-pane jalousies or thin steel casements. That’s a meaningful difference for homes under MIA’s approach paths. Call (850) 930-1813 and we’ll help you match an STC-rated option to your street’s noise level.

What Miami Springs Customers Say
"The installation was clean and the windows are beautiful. The factory took about six weeks to deliver the units, which Ed told me upfront, but living behind plywood-framed openings in the meantime still tested my patience."
- Guadalupe Zamorano"Our insurance agent asked for the wind mitigation paperwork and Ed had the whole file ready the day the job closed, every opening photographed. The premium conversation went very differently this year."
- Odessa Fairbanks"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
