AfterWindows & Doors Services in South Palm Beach, FL
Window and door work in South Palm Beach is unlike almost anywhere else in Florida. This narrow barrier island, barely a quarter-mile wide between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, is built almost entirely of mid-rise and high-rise condominium towers from the 1960s through the early 1980s. That means nearly every project involves salt-corroded aluminum frames, aging sliders, and a condo association approval process mainland contractors never see. If you’re dealing with fogged glass, a balcony door that won’t roll, or water staining around an ocean-facing sill, call (561) 928-0302. A live person answers, day or night.

Why South Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
This isn’t our first barrier-island rodeo. We’ve worked in buildings along South Ocean Boulevard, down near the Lantana bridge approach, and throughout the condo corridor that runs from the Lake Worth Beach line up through the Sovereign and Palmsea buildings. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. We’re locally owned and owner-operated since 2011, with a published address and license number, so there’s no shell company between you and the person accountable for the work. Condo boards and unit owners call us because we already understand the drill: board submittal packets, property manager scheduling, crane staging from the beach or the boulevard, and products with Florida Product Approval numbers that satisfy Palm Beach County’s wind-zone requirements. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s at your door before the truck parks.
We also answer our own phone – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No call center, no voicemail maze. When a hurricane watch is posted and you’re wondering whether your original 1970s slider will hold, someone picks up on the second ring.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in South Palm Beach
Every line below is a specialty we perform regularly in South Palm Beach, not an afterthought. Each one starts with a real assessment of your existing openings, your building’s governing documents, and the coastal wind loads your elevation demands.
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for South Palm Beach, and for good reason: the town sits in one of Palm Beach County’s highest design wind-speed corridors, and laminated impact glass is code-driven protection, not an upgrade. We install configurations carrying Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, size-matched to each opening with design pressures that never exceed what the unit was tested to achieve.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in South Palm Beach.
Window Installation
Most South Palm Beach towers still carry original jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum frames that leak air, salt, and noise. Installation here means working around occupied adjoining units, coordinating freight elevator time, and often pulling the old frame entirely to reset a square, shim-free rough opening.
Learn more about our Window Installation in South Palm Beach.
Window Replacement
The salt spray that comes at your windows from both the ocean and the intracoastal doesn’t take weekends off. When sill tracks corrode through or sash welds fail, we replace the entire unit rather than patch a frame that’s already losing its structural integrity.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in South Palm Beach.
Door Installation
Too many units here still have hollow-core entry doors that wouldn’t stop a determined gust, let alone wind-driven debris. We install solid, hurricane-rated entry systems built around brands like Therma-Tru, sized to your existing rough opening and your building’s finish requirements.
You can reach us at (561) 928-0302 to discuss South Palm Beach Door Installation.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
The original 1970s-era six-foot balcony sliders on oceanfront units corrode at the bottom track and roller assemblies from salt-laden water pooling below while ocean spray works the top. We spec marine-grade hardware and weep-hole covers as standard, and we’ve replaced enough of these to know the exact failing points on every elevation.
Ask us about South Palm Beach Sliding Glass & Patio Doors at (561) 928-0302.
Energy-Efficient Windows
When your living room faces the afternoon Atlantic sun, the right low-E coating and gas fill cuts cooling loads noticeably. Residents typically see cooling-cost reductions of 20-30% after replacing single-pane originals with properly rated insulated units.
Energy-Efficient Windows in South Palm Beach are a smart pairing with impact glass – call us for a straight answer on what’s worth the money.
Impact Garage Doors
Though single-family garages are rare in South Palm Beach, a few larger residences and satellite structures have overhead doors that must carry impact approval. We install and brace them to the same wind criteria as the windows above them.
Ask whether your garage door is storm-rated for Impact Garage Doors - South Palm Beach wind loads.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Penthouses and corner units often carry trapezoids, radius tops, or clipped-corner glass that can’t be ordered off a stock sheet. We measure, template, and order these through brands like ECO Window Systems, then install them to the same impact standards as every rectangular unit in the building.
Custom and geometric windows are our specialty when the opening isn’t standard.
Roof Repair
High-rise roof assemblies along the South Palm Beach shoreline take direct wind and salt from both water bodies. We handle repair scopes on these systems, coordinating with building management on access and safety protocols.
If your building’s roof is showing age, call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll take a look.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Condo tower reroofing is a different animal from anything on the mainland. Access, staging, tear-off sequencing, and county inspection timing all have to work around residents living beneath the deck. We plan for that from day one.
Let’s talk about roof replacement for your South Palm Beach building.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
South Palm Beach’s strongest roof systems are built to take hurricane-force winds without losing sections. We install shingle, tile, and standing-seam metal systems matched to the exposure, with fastening patterns that the coastal wind zone demands.
Ask us which roofing material makes sense for your South Palm Beach property.
Neighborhoods We Serve in South Palm Beach
South Palm Beach is compact – just a few blocks across at its widest – but the building stock changes character every few hundred yards. We know the differences in board requirements, building construction, and exposure from one address to the next, and typical response time anywhere in town is the same day for an initial look.

Why South Palm Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
South Palm Beach is a razor-thin barrier island strip made up almost entirely of mid-rise and high-rise condominium towers from the 1960s-1980s, with virtually every unit facing either the open Atlantic or the Intracoastal Waterway. That geography means relentless bidirectional salt-air corrosion of original aluminum frames is universal here, not occasional. Sill tracks pit, welds weaken, hardware seizes. The town’s residential stock is overwhelmingly 8-15 story oceanfront condominium towers built between the 1960s and early 1980s; there are virtually no detached single-family homes, so nearly all window and door work involves high-floor condo units still fitted with original jalousie windows, single-pane aluminum sliders, and hollow-core entry doors far below current Florida Building Code hurricane-protection standards. Every window or door replacement must satisfy both Palm Beach County’s hurricane-impact glazing requirements and each building’s condo association architectural review board, a dual-approval burden that can add months and is essentially unknown in any mainland market. The original 1970s-era six-foot aluminum sliding glass doors on oceanfront balconies corrode so aggressively at the bottom track and roller assemblies – from simultaneous ocean spray above and salt-laden water pooling below – that replacement is often required within a decade of installation. Contractors here know to spec marine-grade hardware and weep-hole covers as standard, and to build condo-board submittal packets, with elevation drawings and product approval numbers, into every project proposal before pulling a county permit.
If the company you’re talking to hasn’t mentioned your condo board’s architectural review process yet, they haven’t done this work in South Palm Beach. That’s not a formality here; it’s the schedule. We build for it.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach
What you’ll pay depends on elevation, linear feet of glass, and the specific product your building’s board has approved. Here’s what we typically see for South Palm Beach condo work.
| Item | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Impact window, standard condo size (per opening) | $1,200 – $2,600 |
| High-rise, high-design-pressure window (per opening) | $2,200 – $4,500 |
| Oceanfront impact sliding glass door, six-foot | $4,500 – $8,000 |
| Impact-rated entry door | $3,000 – $6,500 |
| Full condo unit glass package (5-8 openings) | $18,000 – $40,000 |
| Condo board submittal packet preparation | $350 – $900 |
Custom fabrication for unusual openings typically runs four to six weeks. Once your units arrive, installation itself is often completed as fast as a single day per opening. We write line-item quotes and we honor them. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice. And we’ll take $40 off any repair over $200, permanently.
Florida Pays South Palm Beach Homeowners Back
Several programs can offset the cost of going impact-rated in South Palm Beach, and we’ll help you understand which ones apply to your unit.
- My Safe Florida Home: matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, when program funding is active.
- 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 (which runs $75-$150), many carriers credit around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium.
No guarantees – programs change and carriers set final numbers. But the stack is real, and it makes impact glass less expensive than the sticker price suggests. Seniors and veterans also receive a permanent 10% discount from us, on top of any program benefit. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll walk through what applies to your building.
One note on the comparison question we hear all the time: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters work until someone has to climb onto a balcony in the dark, wrestling panels into place while the wind picks up. Impact glass is protection that’s already installed, every hour of every day. For high-rise units on an exposed barrier island, permanent protection usually wins.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach
Most South Palm Beach condo window replacements run between $1,200 and $4,500 per opening, depending on the size, elevation, and design pressure your unit requires. An oceanfront high-floor unit demands higher-rated glass than a shaded intracoastal-side unit. Call (561) 928-0302 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Board approval typically adds four to ten weeks to a South Palm Beach project, sometimes longer if the architectural review board meets infrequently. That’s on top of the county permit timeline and the four-to-six-week custom fabrication window. We prepare the submittal packet – elevation drawings, product approval numbers, color samples – so the board has what it needs on the first pass. Call us at (561) 928-0302 to get the process started early.
If your unit still has original jalousie windows, single-pane aluminum sliders, or hollow-core entry doors, you’re below current Florida Building Code hurricane-protection standards. South Palm Beach’s wind corridor makes impact-rated glazing a practical necessity, not an upgrade. South Palm Beach sits in one of Palm Beach County’s highest design wind-speed corridors, which drives what your building must meet.
No. We write line-item quotes and hold them. The only variable that might shift is an unforeseen condition – like discovering that the original frame is so corroded it can’t be salvaged – and we’ll stop and show you exactly what we found before a penny moves. Upfront pricing means the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, and we do it on every South Palm Beach project. We build the board submittal packet, attend the review if you need us there, coordinate with your property manager on freight elevator and balcony access, and pull the county permit once the board signs off. Your only job is to tell us which unit is yours. The dual-approval process is standard here, and we’ve done it in buildings from the Lantana bridge to the town’s northern line. Call (561) 928-0302 to schedule.

What South Palm Beach Customers Say
"He replaced the front door and the garage door in the same week, both rated for impact, and lined the frames up so straight my level had nothing to say. My wife stopped hearing the highway from the front room."
- Maximilian Vasquez"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"Someone tried the back slider while we were away. The glass crazed and held, the alarm never had to earn its keep, and the police report reads better than it might have. Ed came out the next morning to check the frame himself."
- Cornelius Adeyemi
