Windows and doors in Palm Beach Shores have to do more than look good. They have to hold the line against Atlantic wind, salt spray from the Lake Worth Inlet, and the kind of corrosion that eats standard hardware in a few seasons. If you’re starting to notice pitted frames, fogged glass, or drafts around old jalousie windows, we can help. Call Winslow Windows & Doors at (561) 928-0302 and you’ll get a live person on the line, not a voicemail tree.
We’re Ed Winslow’s crew. We’ve been installing impact-rated windows, doors, and roofing since 2011, and we know exactly what happens to mid-century homes on this barrier island. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s what we see on every street from the inlet side down to the north end.

Why Palm Beach Shores Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Palm Beach Shores sits on the southern tip of Singer Island, and the Lake Worth Inlet cuts right past it. That means homes here take wind and salt from the east and the south at the same time. A window that looks fine from the street can have corroded multi-point locks, swollen sills, and weatherstripping that crumbled two summers ago. We see it all the time, and we know which elevations fail first.
Homeowners along Inlet Road and around the Coral Cay area call us because our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and ready to explain what’s actually wrong before quoting a fix. Everyone who works with us answers to Ed Winslow. His name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s the standard we’ve held since 2011, and it’s why our local reputation in Palm Beach Shores keeps bringing neighbors back for their second and third projects.
We’re also the one down the road, which matters when a storm is forecasted and you need a straight answer about your openings. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You won’t get a call center, and you won’t wait until Monday.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Palm Beach Shores
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship product for Palm Beach Shores homes. We install laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval, matched to your opening’s design pressure – and never rated above +/-100 because anything higher usually means the structural calculation was wrong from the start. If you want protection that’s always in place and never needs to be hauled out of a garage, learn more about our Impact Windows in Palm Beach Shores.
Window Installation
Most homes here have original aluminum jalousie or single-pane casement windows that carry zero impact rating. We remove them, repair rotted rough openings as needed, and install new units sized to your exact frame dimensions. Learn more about our window installation in Palm Beach Shores.
Window Replacement
Corrosion from salt spray accelerates here, especially on south-facing elevations near the inlet. We replace failing windows with impact-rated or energy-efficient units that fit the existing opening correctly, including the awkward non-standard sizes common in mid-century construction. Learn more about our window replacement in Palm Beach Shores.
Door Installation
Front doors and side doors on this island face the same salt and wind abuse. We install Therma-Tru and other impact-rated doors with marine-grade hardware that won’t seize up after two wet seasons.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
South-facing sliders on inlet-side streets take a beating from sand-blasted seals and pitted tracks. We replace them with impact-rated sliders that open and close cleanly, even after years of salt exposure.
Energy-Efficient Windows
The same impact glass that protects your home also cuts heat and UV. Most Palm Beach Shores homeowners see meaningful cooling savings once old single-pane units come out, and the interior stays more comfortable year-round.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening in most homes here, and a standard door can buckle under hurricane-force pressure. We install impact-rated garage doors built for coastal wind loads.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Mid-century homes often have unusual window shapes: circles, triangles, trapezoids. We fabricate custom and geometric windows that keep the original architecture intact while delivering modern impact ratings.
Roof Repair, Replacement & Installation
Water intrusion in Palm Beach Shores usually starts at the roof. We repair and replace shingle, tile, and metal roofs, and we coordinate roof-to-wall flashing with new window and door installs so the entire envelope works together.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Different homes here call for different roof systems. We’ll match your roof to the structure and the wind zone, not to whatever’s cheapest on a warehouse shelf.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Palm Beach Shores
We work throughout Palm Beach Shores, from the inlet-side streets in the south end to the quieter blocks up near the north beach. Our typical response time for estimates in this area is fast because we’re already working here most weeks.

Why Palm Beach Shores’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Palm Beach Shores occupies the southern tip of Singer Island, where the Lake Worth Inlet cuts a gap between the barrier island and Palm Beach. That geography leaves the community exposed to Atlantic winds and salt spray from the east AND the south simultaneously. It’s a dual-flank exposure virtually unique in Palm Beach County, and it shows up in the hardware. Contractors working inlet-side streets on the south end routinely find that south-facing doors and windows on the same structure corrode and fail years before the north-facing ones, because southeast storms funnel directly through the inlet gap with no island to interrupt them. The result is sand-blasted seals and pitted aluminum frames on that elevation in ways homeowners and mainland-focused contractors consistently underestimate.
Nearly every home here predates Florida’s post-Andrew impact glazing mandates. The community is built out almost entirely with modest mid-century single-family homes from the 1950s through early 1970s, many still carrying original aluminum jalousie or single-pane casement windows that corrode rapidly in heavy salt and carry zero impact rating. Small lot sizes and aging wood-frame construction also mean replacement crews frequently encounter rotted rough openings and non-standard frame dimensions that require custom sizing. If you have a 1962 ranch with three different window widths, we’ve measured it before.
Combine the uninterrupted ocean wind fetch from multiple quadrants with the salt spray from both the open ocean and the tidal inlet, and you get accelerated corrosion of frames, sill pans, weatherstripping, and multi-point locking hardware at a rate that outpaces even nearby inland communities just a mile or two west. That’s the reason marine-grade hardware and full impact ratings are baseline expectations here, not premium options.
Florida Pays Palm Beach Shores Homeowners Back
Florida has real money on the table for Palm Beach Shores homeowners upgrading windows and doors, and it stacks in ways most people never hear about.
The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida also has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, so you don’t pay sales tax on the units themselves. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), many homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their premium. Programs change, and carriers set their own final numbers, so we’ll point you to the right agencies and inspectors rather than promise a dollar figure. The point is: the incentives are real, and we’ll help you work through them.
One more thing worth knowing. Impact windows beat hurricane shutters for homes like yours because they’re always in place. No panels to drag out of the shed at 6 p.m. while the storm closes in, no hardware to corrode in storage, and no forgotten clips. They’re simply part of the house, doing their job every day.

Impact window replacement in Palm Beach Shores typically runs $1,100-$2,400 per opening installed, with custom or geometric sizes running higher. Rotted framing repair adds $300-$900 per opening when present. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free estimate with exact line-item pricing for your openings.
Palm Beach Shores sits in a high coastal wind-load zone, and most homes here predate Florida’s impact glazing mandates. Impact windows are always in place and carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, while shutters require storage, hardware, and manual deployment. For homes with dual-flank exposure to the inlet and the Atlantic, impact windows are the stronger long-term choice.
No. We provide written line-item quotes and fixed pricing. The only exception is if we open a wall and find structural damage that wasn’t visible from the outside, and we’ll show you photos and get your approval before adding anything. That’s the Winslow standard.
Yes. Every window and door installation we perform in Palm Beach Shores is permitted, inspected, and closed out properly. We handle the paperwork from start to finish.
Standard impact window and door installation can be completed as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication for non-standard mid-century openings typically runs 4-6 weeks before install. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start.

What Palm Beach Shores 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
