Why Pinecrest Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Homeowners on Chapman Field Drive and in the neighborhoods off Ludlam Road don’t have time for a learning curve. They want an installer who already knows that a 1970s Mediterranean revival with original jalousie panels is a different job than a 2000s stucco ranch. That’s the kind of local knowledge you get from a company owned by one person, Ed Winslow, whose published address and license number sit right on our home page for anyone to check.
We answer the phone when you call. Not a call center, not a voicemail loop. A live person, at any hour. That matters when a thunderstorm rips through Pinecrest at midnight and your patio door is rattling in its track. Every technician who arrives at your home is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at the door before you open it. And our Done Right Promise isn’t a warranty buried in fine print. It’s a simple commitment: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Pinecrest
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship of what we do in Pinecrest, and they’re not optional here. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) per configuration is the standard, not an upsell. We install PGT and CGI systems matched to each opening’s design pressure, never a rating above +/-100.

Window Installation
Proper installation in the HVHZ means more than swapping glass. It means flashing, anchoring, and sealing per Miami-Dade product approval specs. Our crews handle the full scope, from rough opening to final inspection.

Window Replacement
Many Pinecrest homes still have single-pane aluminum from the Nixon era. Replacing those with energy-efficient, impact-rated units cuts cooling costs and meets code simultaneously. We remove and dispose of the old frames, then set the new ones to spec.

Door Installation
“You can lose more heat through a bad door than a bad window.” Pinecrest’s humidity and salt air eat hollow-core doors alive. We install Therma-Tru and other authorized fiberglass and steel entry systems, pre-hung and sealed, that stand up to the tropics.

Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Pinecrest patios deserve glass doors that glide without brute force and resist wind-driven rain without leaking. We install impact-rated sliders and French patio doors from brands like Mr-Glass, sized precisely to your opening.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated frames cut cooling demand by 20-30% in a climate where air conditioning runs ten months a year. We’ll help you pick glazing that blocks UV without turning your living room into a cave.

Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in your home, and in a hurricane it’s the first thing to fail. We install braced, impact-rated garage doors that meet Miami-Dade wind-load requirements and keep your roof from pressurizing.

Custom & Geometric Windows
Mid-century modern homes in Pinecrest feature angles and arches that big-box manufacturers won’t touch. We order custom and geometric windows, including circles, triangles, and trapezoids, fabricated to your exact rough opening.

Roof Repair
Windows and doors keep water out, but your roof takes the beating. We repair leaks, replace missing shingles, and patch flashing before a minor drip becomes a mold problem in your Pinecrest ceiling.

Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Pinecrest means tear-off, deck inspection, and new underlayment built for 180 mph wind uplift. We handle shingle, tile, and metal systems, all permitted and inspected.

Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Pinecrest’s mix of barrel-tile Mediterranean roofs and modern standing-seam metal demands installers who know each material’s fastening requirements. We do all three, and we pull the permits ourselves.

Why Pinecrest’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Pinecrest sits entirely inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. Every window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval standard tougher than neighboring Broward County and most of Florida. That’s not a suggestion. That’s code, and it changes what can go into your house.
The village’s housing stock makes this even more specific. Pinecrest is dominated by large single-family homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, many in ranch or Mediterranean revival style. Those homes still have original aluminum single-pane windows, louvered jalousie panels on Florida rooms, and hollow-core entry doors that predate post-Andrew hurricane codes. Salt-laden humidity accelerates corrosion of those old aluminum frames year-round, while tropical UV intensity degrades glazing seals faster than inland markets. Replacing them isn’t a swap-out. It often requires structural header work before a NOA-approved unit can be set.
What Pinecrest Homeowners Should Look For in a Window & Door Company
Compare installers before you sign. Here’s what separates a real impact specialist from a big-box subcontractor:
- Miami-Dade NOA knowledge: Does the installer understand product approval per configuration, or do they just order “hurricane windows”? In Pinecrest, the wrong answer fails inspection.
- Design pressure matching: Every opening needs a unit rated for its specific wind load. A specialist calculates this. A retail installer guesses.
- Permit handling: Who pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and fixes any correction notices? We handle all three.
- Warranty that means something: Our Done Right Promise is backed by Ed Winslow’s name, not a third-party warranty company.
- Impact windows vs. hurricane shutters: Shutters require you to be home, awake, and physically able to deploy them before the storm. Impact windows are permanent protection. No panels to hang, no storage, no panic at 2 a.m. when a warning turns into a watch.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Pinecrest
What you’ll pay depends on the size of the opening, the brand, and the level of customization. Here are honest numbers for the Pinecrest market:
- Impact window replacement: $900-$1,600 per opening, installed and permitted
- Entry door installation: $1,800-$4,500 depending on material (fiberglass vs. steel) and glazing
- Sliding glass door: $2,500-$5,500 for an impact-rated unit
- Full-house window replacement (3-bedroom ranch): $18,000-$35,000
- Roof replacement (shingle): $12,000-$22,000 depending on square footage
These are ranges, not quotes. Your exact number comes from a free estimate with written line-item pricing. No change orders, no surprises on the invoice. Call (850) 930-1813 to schedule yours.
Florida Pays Pinecrest Homeowners Back
The incentives stack faster than most people realize:
- My Safe Florida Home: matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors
- Florida sales-tax exemption: impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from state sales tax
- Federal 25C energy credit: 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units
- Windstorm premium credits: after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), many insurers cut the windstorm portion of your premium by around 25%
We can’t guarantee what your carrier or the state will approve. Those numbers come from their rules, not ours. But we can walk you through the paperwork and point you to the right inspection resources so you’re not leaving money on the counter.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Pinecrest
Yes. Pinecrest sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Miami-Dade County requires a Notice of Acceptance for every window and door replacement. Without an NOA, your permit won’t pass inspection, full stop. We only install NOA-approved units from authorized brands like PGT, CGI, and Mr-Glass. Call (850) 930-1813 to check whether your current units are compliant.
You’ll typically pay between $900 and $1,600 per opening, installed and permitted. Custom sizes, second-story access, or structural header work on older Florida rooms can push that higher.

What Pinecrest Customers Say
"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."
- Henrietta Pemberton"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
