AfterWindows & Doors Services in Gladeview, FL
If you live in Gladeview, you already know the problem: your home was likely built with jalousie windows or thin single-pane aluminum frames that were never designed for a hurricane. Those original windows from the 1950s and 60s rattle in every thunderstorm, leak air conditioning straight into the yard, and fail Miami-Dade’s NOA impact standards outright. Most Gladeview homeowners don’t just want new windows; they need them. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do. Call us at (727) 604-9322 for a free estimate on impact-rated windows and doors built for this exact ZIP code. A live person picks up, 24 hours a day.
Our crews know the difference between a 1958 CBS ranch near NW 62nd Street and a 1970s split-level off NW 22nd Avenue. That matters when the county inspector shows up to verify your window product approval.

Why Gladeview Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Since 2011, Ed Winslow has run this company the way a neighbor should: a published address, a real license number, and a phone that gets answered by a human being at 2 a.m. if that’s when the storm anxiety hits and you need to talk through your options. We don’t route calls to a call center in another state. We don’t hand you a ticket number and promise a callback within two business days. You call, someone answers, and that person can talk specifics about PGT impact glass and Miami-Dade NOA requirements.
Gladeview residents around the area just west of NW 27th Avenue and south of NW 79th Street have hired us for everything from full impact-window retrofits to a single replacement door that the county flagged during a home sale. We treat a one-window repair with the same rigor as a whole-house project. You’ll see the same background-checked, uniformed technicians on both. Reviews from Gladeview homeowners consistently mention two things: upfront pricing that matched the final invoice, and crews that didn’t vanish when a change came up mid-install.
Ed’s promise is the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Not for 30 days. Not for a year. A lasting standard of accountability that no national chain will ever put in writing. When you hire Winslow, you’re hiring Ed. He still walks job sites in Gladeview.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Gladeview
Gladeview homes run on a narrow set of needs, and we built our service menu around them. Here’s what we install and repair in this community:
Impact Windows
This is the flagship line for Gladeview. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA approval per configuration, engineered to the design pressure of each specific opening. A rating above +/-100 doesn’t mean anything on a typical CBS home; we size to the actual opening, not a generic number. No panels to haul out of the garage when the warnings come.
Learn more about our impact windows in Gladeview.
Window Installation
Whether you’re replacing one failed jalousie unit or every opening in the house, we handle the permitting, the product approval, and the inspection with Miami-Dade County. The unincorporated Gladeview process is different from nearby incorporated cities, and we know the inspection points cold.
Learn more about our window installation in Gladeview.
Window Replacement
Most Gladeview replacements start because a homeowner is tired of the jalousie crank falling off, or the aluminum frame has corroded so badly from Biscayne Bay salt air that the sash won’t close. We remove the old unit, deal with the block-fill and stucco, and set the new window so it’s sealed against both wind and water intrusion.

Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, utility doors. Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors hold up better than the old hollow-core wood doors that swell in humid months and leave a gap at the threshold. Every door we install in Gladeview carries the product approval the county requires.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Those original aluminum sliders on the back of a 1960s CBS home leak air even when they’re closed. We install impact-rated sliders from PGT and CGI that glide on modern tracks and close against the gasket the way a door is supposed to. The difference is immediate, especially in August.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated frames make a real difference on a Gladeview electric bill. Homeowners commonly report a 20% to 30% reduction in cooling costs after replacing old single-pane aluminum with modern energy-certified units. That’s the range we’re comfortable claiming. Not 50%. Not “dramatic.” Just honest.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest opening on most Gladeview homes, and the original doors from the 1970s aren’t approved for anything. If the door fails during a storm, your roof is at risk. We install impact-rated garage doors with the bracing and track reinforcement the county expects to see.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some of the mid-century homes in Gladeview have unusual openings: half-rounds, trapezoids, corner windows. We can build custom impact units for those shapes instead of boxing them in or covering them over. The home keeps its character, and the opening keeps its NOA.
Roof Repair, Roof Replacement & Installation
Windows and doors are only as good as the roof above them. We repair and replace shingle, tile, and metal roofs across Gladeview, pulling permits through the same Miami-Dade process we use for fenestration. One company, one standard, one promise.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Gladeview
Gladeview is compact, but the homes vary block by block. We work regularly in the neighborhoods around NW 27th Avenue, NW 22nd Avenue, NW 79th Street, and the residential streets running south toward the State Road 112 corridor. You’ll usually see a truck at your door within a day or two of your call; we schedule around the county inspection calendar, not a national dispatch queue.

Why Gladeview’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Gladeview sits squarely inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load classification in Florida. That’s not a marketing phrase; it’s a building-code reality written into every permit the county issues. Any window or door you replace here must carry a Miami-Dade NOA, a product approval standard stricter than what Broward County requires and stricter than most of the state. The jalousie windows and thin aluminum frames these homes were built with don’t comply. They never did.
Then there’s the salt. Biscayne Bay’s saltwater-laden air pushes inland over Gladeview year-round, and it settles on aluminum frames the way it settles on car bodies. We see corrosion pitting on original window frames that’s so deep the weep holes have sealed shut and water pools in the track after every rain. That’s not a wear-and-tear issue you can patch to code. That’s replacement. We also see the county’s separate product-approval database trip up out-of-area crews who bring products that pass the Florida Building Code but lack a Miami-Dade NOA. Those jobs fail inspection. Every time. We don’t install anything that isn’t already in the county’s approval database for the specific opening it’s going into.
Because Gladeview is unincorporated, all permits run directly through Miami-Dade County’s building department. There’s no city hall to appeal to, no municipal variance to request. The inspector enforces the HVHZ glazing rules exactly as written. That’s why homeowners here need a contractor who knows the county, not a crew that drives up from Key West with a truckload of generic hurricane windows and hopes for the best.
Florida Pays Gladeview Homeowners Back
The state and federal incentives for impact upgrades stack in ways that reduce the real cost to a Gladeview homeowner. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), windstorm premium credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so nothing here is a guarantee. But the paperwork is part of service. We’d rather you keep the money than leave it in Tallahassee.
One more angle: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters mean hauling panels out of the garage, wrestling them into place in the rain, and hoping you remembered the fasteners. Impact windows are permanent. They’re already in place when the storm forms. No panels, no prep, no 3 a.m. scramble. For most Gladeview homeowners, the permanent solution costs more up front but wins on every day after.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Gladeview
Gladeview pricing depends on the opening size, the product approval required, and the condition of the existing frame. A straightforward window replacement in a CBS home typically runs $250 to $500 per window for standard impact units; larger openings and custom shapes run more. An impact entry door pair commonly lands between $1,200 and $2,800. Energy-certified units add 15% to 25% over basic impact glass. You’ll get a written line-item quote before we start, not a round number and a shrug.
- Impact window replacement: $250-$500 per standard unit
- Impact sliding glass doors: $2,000-$4,500 installed
- Impact front entry doors: $1,200-$2,800
- Standard window replacement (non-impact): $180-$350 per unit
- Impact garage doors: $2,500-$5,000 depending on size and bracing
Every quote is free, and Ed reviews every line item personally before it goes to you. No change orders. If the price changes, it’s because you changed the scope, not because we “found” something.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Gladeview
Most Gladeview homeowners pay between $250 and $500 per standard impact window, installed. Custom shapes, large sliders, and upgraded frames push that higher. Call (727) 604-9322 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we stand behind every line item.
Yes. Because Gladeview is unincorporated, permits run through Miami-Dade County’s building department, and every replacement window must carry a Miami-Dade NOA. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the job passes before we call it done.
Yes. That’s one of the most common projects we do in Gladeview. The old jalousie frames come out, we prep the concrete opening, and the new impact window goes in with the proper anchoring and sealing. The change in noise reduction and cooling is immediate.
No. The quote you approve is the price you pay. The only way the number changes is if you change the scope, and we’ll put that in writing before any additional work happens. No change orders, no “unforeseen conditions” surprises. That’s Ed’s rule.
Once your units arrive, a standard window replacement takes as fast as a single day. Custom fabricated units run 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery, and we’ll give you a firm timeline when you approve the quote. Call us for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through it.

What Gladeview Customers Say
"Our insurance agent asked for the wind mitigation paperwork and Ed had the whole file ready the day the job closed, every opening photographed. The premium conversation went very differently this year."
- Odessa Fairbanks"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"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."
