AfterWindows & Doors Services in Palm Beach, FL
Window and door work on Palm Beach island runs into two walls most contractors never see coming: the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris requirements, and the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission. You need impact-rated glazing that can take a Category 5 hit, and it still has to look like it belongs on a Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival estate. That’s the job. We’ve been doing it long enough to know the difference between a code-compliant opening and one that actually protects your house. Call (561) 928-0302 and you’ll get a live person, not a call center.
Winslow Windows & Doors is locally owned by Ed Winslow. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Our dispatch and scheduling run from our South FL office, with crews working Palm Beach daily. We answer the phone 24/7 because when a window blows out at 2 a.m. during a squall, “next business day” doesn’t cut it.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
We carry a strong local reputation across Palm Beach, from the estate lots along South Ocean Boulevard to the condominium towers near the Flagler Memorial Bridge. Homeowners on the island tend to ask harder questions than anyone else in the county, because their homes are worth more and the Architectural Commission reviews every opening. We’re used to that. We keep our published address and license number on every estimate, and our techs arrive in uniform, background-checked, with a name you’ll know before they ring the bell.
The Done Right Promise is simple: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a lasting standard, not a punchline. We don’t hand out ticket numbers. You call, Ed’s team answers, and the person who quoted the job is the person accountable for the result. In Palm Beach, that matters.
We also hold standing offers, no expiration dates attached: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge anywhere in our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Palm Beach
Every service below is available to Palm Beach homeowners, including our Palm Beach Door Installation, with impact-rated options front and center where the wind zone requires it.
Impact Windows
Impact windows in Palm Beach are not an upgrade, they’re the baseline. Laminated glass with interlayers, Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, and design pressures matched to each opening. We install PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems units, never rating above +/-100. Learn more about our impact windows in Palm Beach.
Window Installation
We handle new-construction and retrofit installs, including historic openings that need custom fabrication. Arched transoms, eyebrow windows, casements with period hardware, we’ve fit them all and passed Architectural Commission review doing it. Learn more about our window installation in Palm Beach.
Window Replacement
Salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal works on frames from both directions here, so we replace more corroded aluminum and failed seals than any inland crew would believe. We size the replacement to the opening, not the other way around. Learn more about our window replacement in Palm Beach.
Door Installation
Front entries, service doors, French doors, and impact-rated entry systems. We frequently rebuild custom surrounds on Palm Beach estates where a big-box slab won’t clear the existing masonry jamb. Therma-Tru and Mr-Glass doors are in our authorized lineup.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Palm Beach Sliding Glass & Patio Doors that actually glide after ten years of salt exposure. We install units with marine-grade finishes and replace tracks and rollers on existing doors when the frame is still sound.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach with Low-E coatings and insulated glazing that cut cooling demand, which matters when your AC runs eleven months a year. Energy savings typically land in the 20 to 30 percent range on qualified units.
Impact Garage Doors
Your Impact Garage Doors - Palm Beach protect the largest opening in the house, the first thing wind pressure takes if it’s not rated. We install braced, impact-rated garage doors that keep the envelope closed when the storm hits.
Custom & Geometric Windows
For arched, circular, triangular, and trapezoid openings, we fabricate custom impact units and pull the architectural drawings the Town requires. If your Palm Beach estate has six different window sizes, all arched, we’ve handled that job before.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors seal the walls, but a compromised roof sends water behind them. We repair roof leaks, replace damaged decking, and re-secure flashing so the whole opening stays dry.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full tear-offs and re-roofs with shingle, tile, or metal, matched to your home’s architecture. Palm Beach estates with barrel tile need a crew that understands what a replacement looks like from the street. We do.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
All three systems installed to Florida wind-load standards. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and close out the job with the paperwork your insurer wants to see.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Palm Beach
We work the full length of the island and know the streets, not just the zip codes. Palm Beach runs from the Palm Beach Inlet down to Lake Worth Beach, with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. Our typical response window across the island is fast, often same-day for urgent repairs when crews are already on Palm Beach.
- South Ocean Boulevard and the Estate Section
- Worth Avenue and the Midtown condo corridor
- Phipps Plaza and the near North End
- El Cid (just across the bridge, served by our Palm Beach crews)
- Royal Palm Way and the Flagler Memorial Bridge approach
Why Palm Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Palm Beach is a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. That means your windows and doors are being hit with salt air from both directions simultaneously. Aluminum frames oxidize, hardware pits, and glazing seals fail years earlier here than they do in West Palm Beach or Greenacres, where the air is measurably less corrosive. Marine-grade or anodized finishes are not an upsell on the island; they’re what keeps a frame from looking like chalk in five years.
The housing stock makes the challenge steeper. Palm Beach’s 1920s through 1940s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates, the Addison Mizner-era homes along Worth Avenue and the lakefront, were built with non-standard arched openings, eyebrow windows, and handcrafted door surrounds. No catalog impact unit fits those openings. Each one needs custom fabrication, and the Town’s Architectural Commission must sign off on every visible change. A single estate can have six or more distinct window sizes, all arched, all non-standard, requiring a full set of architectural drawings. That process can add four to six weeks to a timeline. Homeowners who’ve been through it once don’t hire a contractor who has to figure it out from scratch.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Here’s the honest math on island pricing. These are ranges for quality impact-rated work, not big-box commodity units.
- Standard impact window (single-hung, any size): $850-$1,500 per opening, installed.
- Impact picture window (non-operable): $950-$1,700 per opening.
- Standard door replacement: $1,800-$4,200, depending on the door and frame condition.
- Impact sliding glass door: $4,800-$9,500, full frame.
- Custom arched impact window with drawings: add $400-$900 per opening for engineering and fabrication.
Historic homes with Architectural Commission submittal, custom fabrication, and masonry repairs run higher. Call (561) 928-0302 for a written line-item quote. Estimates are free, and you’ll see every number before you sign anything. We also give free second opinions on written estimates from other contractors.
Florida Pays Palm Beach Homeowners Back
Florida’s incentive stack can take real money off your project, and no single source explains it plainly. Here’s what’s available to Palm Beach homeowners right now:
- My Safe Florida Home: matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. The program opens and closes funding cycles, so timing matters.
- Florida sales-tax exemption: impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from state sales tax, which saves you 6 percent at the register.
- Federal 25C energy credit: 30 percent 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, often around 25 percent, sometimes more.
These are real programs, but your insurer and the state set the final numbers. We’ll walk you through which credits your project qualifies for and what documentation you need.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters
The comparison comes up on every Palm Beach job. Hurricane shutters work if you’re home, the power hasn’t failed, and the panels aren’t buried in the garage. Impact windows don’t care whether you’re on the island or in Boston when the storm hits. They’re permanent protection, sealed into the structure, with no panels to hang, store, or lose. On a barrier island where evacuations happen and returns can take days, that distinction is not minor. Impact glass also kills the insurance discount every year, not just when you remember to deploy shutters.
Big-box retailers sell impact windows, but they don’t pull Architectural Commission packets, they don’t fabricate arched openings, and they won’t be here when something leaks a year later. We’re the licensed impact specialist with the product lineup and the local documentation process already mapped.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Impact window installation in Palm Beach typically runs $850 to $1,500 per opening for standard units, with custom arched or historic openings going higher due to fabrication and Architectural Commission requirements. The exact number depends on your design pressure rating, frame condition, and how many openings you’re doing at once. Call (561) 928-0302 for a written quote; estimates are free and you’ll see every cost before signing.
Yes, on the island’s landmark Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates, any window or door replacement visible from the street must pass Town of Palm Beach Architectural Commission review. That means impact-rated glazing has to replicate the period profiles of the original Mizner-era steel casements and wood surrounds. We handle the drawings, submittal, and hearings as part of the job. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll tell you whether your property falls under ARCOM review.
No. Our quotes are written, line-item, and fixed. The only change order you’ll ever see comes if you change the scope, and we’ll put that in writing before any work continues. That’s part of the promise, and it’s why Palm Beach homeowners who’ve been burned by vague estimates call us for second opinions on other contractors’ bids.
Custom arched and non-standard impact units take four to six weeks to fabricate, plus time for Architectural Commission review which can add another four to six weeks on a historic property. Standard-size impact windows can often be installed as fast as a single day once your units arrive. We’ll give you a timeline before the first demo happens.
Most windstorm carriers cut the windstorm portion of your premium after a wind-mitigation inspection, with savings often around 25 percent and sometimes more. The inspection typically costs $75 to $150, and we’ll help you schedule it and submit the paperwork. Get a quote from us at (561) 928-0302, then call your agent with the product approvals we provide.

What Palm Beach Customers Say
"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"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
- Rosalind Beaumont"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."
