AfterTrusted Window Installation for South Miami Homeowners
Window installation in South Miami typically costs $450-$1,400 per window for standard double hung units, with full-home impact window projects running $12,000-$35,000 depending on the home’s size and the window style you choose. Most single-room jobs are completed in one to two days once your windows arrive, and every installation is backed by our Done Right Promise. Ed Winslow founded Winslow Windows & Doors in 2011, and since then we’ve put our name on every window we’ve installed from Coral Gables to Palmetto Bay. When you call (850) 930-1813, a real person answers, no matter the hour.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Every window installation starts with a free, no-pressure estimate at your South Miami home. We measure, we listen, and we give you a written line-item quote before any work begins. No vague numbers, no change orders once the job is underway. Here’s how we approach each window style:
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single hung windows keep the top sash fixed while the bottom moves; double hung lets both sashes tilt and slide, which makes cleaning second-story windows in South Miami homes dramatically easier. These are the most common windows we install in the area’s 1950s and 1960s ranch-style houses, where original wood frames have warped from decades of humidity. We remove the old sash and track, inspect the rough opening for rot or termite damage, and install the new unit with full perimeter insulation and a watertight seal. If you have a home on a busy South Miami street, double hung windows with laminated glass also cut outside noise significantly.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows slide side to side on tracks, and they’re the go-to style for South Florida mid-century homes and any opening that’s wider than it is tall. Corrosion is the enemy here: salt air from Biscayne Bay works its way into older aluminum tracks and makes the rollers grind until they fail. We install new horizontal rollers with stainless steel hardware and replace worn tracks so the window glides with one hand. For South Miami homeowners with kids, we can also add child-safety locks that prevent the window from sliding more than four inches without a key release.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
A 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) window is essentially three sections where one or two panels glide past the others, often spanning up to nine feet across a living room wall. These windows flood South Miami homes with natural light while maximizing the breeze on days when you’d rather not run the AC. We see a lot of failed 3-lite units where the center panel has sagged off its rollers from years of sun-baked aluminum expansion. Our crew rebuilds the opening square, installs the new three-panel unit, and seals every seam with commercial-grade flashing so the afternoon downpours stay outside where they belong.
Casement Windows
Casement windows hinge on one side and crank outward, sealing shut against the frame when closed, which makes them the tightest window style against wind-driven rain. That’s a serious advantage in South Miami, where summer thunderstorms routinely hurl water horizontally at your exterior walls. We install casements with heavy-duty stainless crank mechanisms and multi-point locking systems that engage at three points along the frame instead of one weak latch at the center. If you’ve been annoyed by a casement window that whistles when it’s closed, the seal is gone and it’s time to talk about replacement.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning & Hopper windows hinge at the top and push outward from the bottom, which means you can leave them open during a light rain without water getting inside; hopper windows flip the hinge to the bottom and open inward. Both styles are common in South Miami bathrooms, kitchens above counters, and any short wall where a full-size window doesn’t fit. We’ve installed awning windows in dozens of damp South Miami bathrooms where constant moisture had rotted the original wood frames. The key with these small windows is getting the flashing right; even a tiny gap will silently leak for years and ruin drywall and framing.
Picture & Fixed Windows
Picture windows don’t open; they exist to frame a view and let in maximum light, which is exactly what you want if you’re lucky enough to have water views or a mature tree canopy in your South Miami neighborhood. Because they don’t move, every ounce of performance comes down to the glass package and the seal job. We install fixed windows with low-emissivity coatings that block solar heat while keeping the view crisp, plus gas fill between the panes for insulation. The frame gets the same meticulous sealing as any operable window because a fixed window can still leak at the perimeter if it’s installed carelessly.
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay & Bow windows project outward from the wall, creating a small seating ledge or plant shelf inside and adding visual depth to your home’s exterior. They’re structurally complex installations because the projection has to be supported from below, not just screwed into the wall sheathing. In South Miami homes we often rebuild the supporting knee braces and add rigid insulation to the underside so the projection doesn’t become a heat sink in August. Done right, a bay window adds usable square footage to a dining room or reading nook; done sloppily, it becomes a leak magnet, so we treat every one as a structural project, not just a window swap.
Garden Windows
Garden windows are small box-shaped projections, usually installed over a kitchen sink, and South Miami homeowners love them for herbs, orchids, and small potted plants. The glass extends outward on three sides with side vents that actually open for airflow. We install garden windows with tempered safety glass on the bottom panel and sloped glass on top so rain runs off naturally. The shelf needs real support brackets tied into the wall framing, and we inspect for water intrusion from the original opening every single time; garden windows from the 1980s are notorious for hidden rot behind the frame.
From a simple bedroom double hung to a full-home impact-rated retrofit, every window we install in South Miami gets the same standard: level, square, insulated, sealed, and covered by our Done Right Promise. That means if it’s not done right, Ed Winslow makes it right. Period.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
We’re an authorized installer for CWS and ES Windows, two brands built specifically for coastal Florida’s wind and rain demands. CWS frames are extruded aluminum that resists the salt corrosion we see throughout South Miami, and their impact glass systems are engineered to meet Miami-Dade County’s strictest missile-impact tests. ES Windows brings European-style thermal breaks to the South Florida market, which means the frame itself doesn’t conduct heat into your home, a huge advantage during South Miami summers.
We also install ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass for homeowners who want high-performance glass without overpaying. ECO builds energy-certified windows that qualify for utility rebates, and their laminated glass options hold up well against both storms and street noise. Mr-Glass specializes in hurricane-rated impact windows with a range of frame colors that fit South Miami’s mix of old Florida charm and modern renovation. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make of window, we can install it correctly the first time, and our team knows the quirks of each product line.
If you’re looking for window installation in Miami beyond South Miami, we cover the entire metro area with the same crew and the same promise. And for our neighbors to the north, we run window installation crews in Hialeah as well.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Condensation between the panes. When you see fog that you can’t wipe off from either side, the window’s seal has failed and the insulating gas has leaked out. The window is now doing almost nothing for your cooling bill, and in South Miami’s humidity, that trapped moisture will eventually cause mold and mildew inside the frame.
- Windows that stick, jam, or refuse to stay open. Swollen frames, rusted rollers, or warped sashes mean the window’s mechanical life is over. A double hung that slams shut on someone’s fingers isn’t just annoying; it’s a safety problem, especially in homes with young children.
- Drafts you can feel from across the room. If you can stand three feet from a closed window and feel warm air moving, the seal between the frame and your wall has failed. Your AC is working overtime to cool the outdoors, and South Miami’s humidity is actively infiltrating your interior walls every hour of the day.
- Rising energy bills with no other explanation. When your July FPL bill jumps year after year and your HVAC is the same age and working fine, leaky windows are usually the culprit. Old single-pane aluminum windows in South Miami transmit heat directly into your living space, forcing the AC to run nonstop.
- Visible water stains, soft drywall, or peeling paint around the frame. This is the big one. Water has already penetrated the building envelope, and the damage is spreading. In South Miami’s climate, a window leak can rot framing, attract termites, and destroy insulation in months, not years. The sooner you call, the less extensive the repair.
If any of these sound familiar, call (850) 930-1813 and we’ll come take a look. Estimates are free, and a real person answers the phone.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Free in-home consultation and measurement. We come to your South Miami home, measure every opening precisely, and look at the condition of the existing frames, flashing, and interior trim. You get a written, line-item estimate that includes the windows, labor, hardware, and disposal; no fuzzy numbers and no surprise fees added later.
- 2
Custom window order and scheduling. Once you approve the quote, we order your windows to the exact size, style, and glass package we specified together. Most standard sizes arrive within three to six weeks. We coordinate the installation date around your schedule and confirm everything by phone, not by text.
- 3
Careful removal and opening inspection. On installation day, our background-checked, uniformed crew arrives with a truck marked clearly for Winslow Windows & Doors, so you know exactly who’s at your door. We remove the old window carefully, then inspect the rough opening for rot, termite damage, or structural problems before doing anything else.
- 4
Installation, leveling, and sealing. The new window goes in level and square, with new insulation packed around the frame and premium flashing that directs water outward and downward. We use the same techniques on a garden window over a South Miami kitchen sink that we use on a nine-foot picture window facing Biscayne Bay; every opening gets the full water and air seal treatment.
- 5
Cleanup, walkthrough, and warranty registration. We haul away your old windows and debris, vacuum the work area, and walk you through the new windows so you can test every lock, crank, and sliding track yourself. Then we register your warranty and the Done Right Promise, which is our standing commitment: if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in South Miami?
A standard double hung window installation in South Miami runs $450-$900 for a single unit with basic glass. Casement windows are typically $750-$1,400 each because of the operating hardware and tighter engineering. Picture windows fall in the $400-$1,000 range for common sizes, and bay or bow window installations start around $2,500 and climb to $6,000+ depending on the projection, seat construction, and structural support work involved. Impact-rated windows, which many South Miami homeowners choose, add roughly 30-50% to the base glass price, but many insurance companies reduce premiums on homes with qualified impact protection.
What changes the price most is the condition of the existing opening. If we find rotted wood, termite damage, or framing that’s out of square, that repair work gets quoted up front, in writing, before the window goes in. You’ll never get a work-order change surprise from us. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get three written estimates, compare the actual line items rather than the bottom line, and ask whether the quote includes removal, disposal, insulation, and flashing; ours always does. Every estimate from Winslow Windows & Doors is free, and if you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it in and we’ll give you a free second opinion.
