You can reach a live person at (561) 660-9539 any hour, day or night, and we’ll give you a straight answer about your home, your block, and what the city will actually require before a permit gets pulled.

Key Takeaways for West Palm Beach Homeowners
- Impact windows and doors are the flagship product line here. West Palm Beach sits in the Wind-Borne Debris Region at roughly 140 mph design wind speed. Florida Product Approval NOAs are required, not optional.
- Historic districts change everything. If your home is in Flamingo Park, El Cid, Old Northwood, or Grandview Heights, you need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board before a building permit gets issued.
- Pricing runs $600-$2,400 per opening for standard impact units. Historic-district SDL (simulated divided-light) configurations and custom geometric windows push the top of that range.
- Salt air is a real variable here. Frames and hardware facing the Lake Worth Lagoon or Atlantic corrode faster. Marine-grade hardware and proper sill flashing prevent repeat failures.
- Incentives are available. My Safe Florida Home grants, Florida sales-tax exemptions on impact products, and the federal 25C energy credit can recover meaningful money. We’ll walk you through what applies to your home.
Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
We built our reputation in West Palm Beach one inspection at a time. Homeowners in Flamingo Park call us because their neighbor told them about the contractor who showed up with a background-checked technician in uniform, quoted a fixed price, and didn’t change the number after the drywall came off. That’s the job. We’re locally owned by Ed Winslow, we publish our address and license number, and we don’t hide behind a national call center. You call (561) 660-9539 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our West Palm Beach customers rate us well because we show up when we say we will and we’re honest when a cheaper job would be a bad idea. We install impact windows from PGT and CWS, doors from Therma-Tru, and custom and geometric configurations from ViewLux. We don’t sell fiberglass core doors to a homeowner whose east-facing entry gets hammered by afternoon storms and say it’ll be fine. We tell you what’s actually fine and what’s a future insurance claim waiting to happen.
Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do. That’s the difference between a ticket number and a neighbor you can call at 2 a.m.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in West Palm Beach
Impact Windows
Impact-rated windows are the smartest single upgrade you can make to a West Palm Beach home. Laminated glass, extruded aluminum or vinyl frames, and design pressures matched to each opening keep wind, debris, and intruders out while cutting your windstorm premium. We carry PGT and CWS configurations that satisfy Florida Product Approval requirements and qualify for My Safe Florida Home grant matching.

Window Installation
A code-compliant installation is the difference between a window that protects your home and a window that leaks around the flange. Our crews handle rough-opening prep, masonry anchoring on older CBS homes, and proper sill flashing for salt-air exposure near the Intracoastal.
Learn more about our Window Installation in West Palm Beach.
Window Replacement
We replace steel casements, jalousies, and undersized single-pane windows that plague 1920s-1940s homes throughout West Palm Beach’s older core. Every replacement is spec’d to current wind loads and your home’s actual condition, not a generic template.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in West Palm Beach.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and impact-rated front doors installed with proper header support and threshold flashing. We carry Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors that hold paint, resist warp in Florida humidity, and can be ordered with impact-rated lites.
Learn more about our home services or call us for door availability.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in West Palm Beach are built for west-facing sliders that catch late-afternoon sun and summer storm squalls. We install impact-rated sliders with stainless steel rollers and reinforced tracks that don’t bind after years of salt-laden humidity. Every unit is ordered per opening size and design pressure, never a stock pickup.
Learn more about our sliding glass and patio door options by calling (561) 660-9539.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in West Palm Beach with Low-E coatings, argon fill, and thermally broken frames can knock 20-30% off your cooling load in a West Palm Beach summer. That’s real money when air conditioning runs eleven months a year. We’ll show you the cost difference and the real-world ROI for your orientation and window area, not a brochure number.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is usually the largest opening in your home and a point of pressure failure during a windstorm. Impact Garage Doors - West Palm Beach with reinforced bracing keep wind from pressing into the structure and breaching your envelope. We install rated doors matched to your opening width and height.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arched tops, hexagons, clerestories, and bent-glass configurations are our specialty. ViewLux builds to spec for exacting jobs, including historic-district replacements where the HPB requires a true divided-light appearance with impact-rated laminated sash.
Roof Repair
We perform roof repair in West Palm Beach on shingle, tile, and metal systems. Missing caps, flashing failures, and wind-lifted edges should be addressed before the next named storm, not after water reaches your ceilings. We provide a written, line-item quote before any work begins.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full re-roofs and new construction roofing, including secondary water barrier and roof-to-wall tie-downs that satisfy current Florida Building Code. We pull all permits and schedule inspections. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we tear off the first shingle or tile.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Asphalt shingle, flat concrete tile, and standing-seam or stone-coated metal systems, each matched to West Palm Beach’s wind zone and your home’s structural capacity. Tile and metal hold up better to salt air and UV exposure than standard shingles do.
Neighborhoods We Serve in West Palm Beach
Winslow Windows & Doors serves all of West Palm Beach, from the waterfront streets of El Cid to the post-war ranches off Australian Avenue. Our crews know which blocks require HPB certificates and which homes still have original jalousie windows that need full replacement.

Why West Palm Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
West Palm Beach has a housing stock and a climate that work against standard off-the-shelf window and door solutions. The city fronts the Lake Worth Lagoon and sits roughly a mile from the Atlantic, so salt-laden air is a daily reality. Aluminum frames, hinges, weep systems, and rollers corrode faster here than they do ten miles inland. We spec marine-grade hardware and proper sill flashing as standard on any opening with direct exposure to salt spray. Homeowners who skip that step end up with pitted frames and stuck sashes in under five years.
The older housing stock compounds the problem. The 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival and Mission-style homes that line the streets of Flamingo Park, El Cid, Old Northwood, and Grandview Heights were built on CBS or wood frame with steel casements or jalousie windows. Those original units are wholly non-compliant with current wind codes, but you can’t just order a standard impact slider and call it done. The city’s Historic Preservation Board protects these districts with requirements that would surprise most contractors from Boynton Beach or Lake Worth.
West Palm Beach’s dense concentration of HPB-protected neighborhoods forces window and door contractors to solve a problem almost nonexistent elsewhere in Palm Beach County: replacement units must simultaneously satisfy Florida Building Code wind-load impact ratings AND the city’s HPB requirement to replicate original 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival profiles, divided-light configurations, and materials. In practice, that means impact-rated simulated divided-light wood or aluminum-clad units, not the mass-produced single-lite sliders that stockyards sell by the truckload. This dual compliance demand creates a specialty niche that drives jobs far beyond standard swap-outs. We do this work constantly. It’s our home court.
Palm Beach County sits in Florida’s Wind-Borne Debris Region with design wind speeds around 140 mph, but it falls outside the stricter Miami-Dade/Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s a useful distinction: products for West Palm Beach need Florida Product Approval NOAs rather than the more expensive HVHZ protocol. Every window and door we install in West Palm Beach is ordered with a specific design pressure matched to its exact opening and exposure. We never order a unit rated above +/-100 for an opening that doesn’t require it, because that’s wasted money for you.
What to Look for in a West Palm Beach Window & Door Contractor
Do they know the HPB process cold?
Any contractor working Flamingo Park quickly learns the city’s Historic Preservation Board will reject a permit application for a standard impact-rated single-lite slider even if it’s fully code-compliant. The HPB mandates replication of the original window’s muntin pattern, meaning every job in a designated historic district requires sourcing SDL (simulated divided-light) impact units and submitting a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit is even issued. Ask your contractor to walk you through that sequence. If they hesitate, call someone else.
Do they quote fixed prices or rough estimates?
A vague estimate over the phone is a red flag. We write line-item quotes on site, and the number doesn’t change once work begins. No change orders because a stud was rotted or a lintel wasn’t square. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice. That’s the only way we do business in West Palm Beach.
Who answers when you call at 8 p.m.?
National installers route you to a call center and ask for your ticket number. We don’t. Ed Winslow owns this company and works in it. You call (561) 660-9539 and a live person answers, no voicemail loops, no next-business-day callback. If a storm is coming and you need an answer about a window, you get the answer.
Impact windows vs. hurricane shutters: which is right for a West Palm Beach home?
Shutters work, but they require someone home and physically able to hang panels before every storm. Impact windows are permanent. The laminated glass and reinforced frames are always in place, always protecting the structure, with no panels to store, no hardware to maintain, and no race against a hurricane warning. They also qualify for windstorm premium credits that shutters don’t always earn. For most West Palm Beach homeowners who want to leave for an evacuation or simply sleep through a storm without prepping plywood, impact windows are the cleaner answer. We’ll quote both where relevant so you can compare apples to apples.

Florida Pays West Palm Beach Homeowners Back
Florida has real money on the table for the right window and door upgrades, and West Palm Beach homeowners should take advantage of it while programs are funded.
- My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Your home must pass a free wind-mitigation inspection to qualify.
- Florida sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors purchased and installed in Palm Beach County, saving you the full state and local sales tax on qualifying products.
- Federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost for qualifying energy-efficient windows and doors, capped at $600 per year. This applies to units that meet ENERGY STAR criteria, not the entire invoice.
- Windstorm premium credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium after a wind-mitigation inspection confirms impact protection. The inspection typically costs $75-$150 and is often recouped within the first year of premium savings.
We don’t guarantee final program numbers or carrier decisions. What we do is show you which of your proposed windows and doors qualify for which incentive, and we provide the documentation your insurer or program administrator will ask for. Programs change, and carriers set their own underwriting rules. We’ll help you navigate what exists today.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Impact window installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $850-$1,400 per opening for standard units, with historic-district SDL configurations running $1,600-$2,400 per opening. Custom geometric windows and large fixed picture windows with high design pressures climb higher. The exact number depends on your opening dimensions, frame material, glass package, and whether your home sits in an HPB-designated historic district. Call (561) 660-9539 for a written, fixed quote, or schedule a free in-home estimate and we’ll line-item the whole project for you.
Yes. All window and door replacements in West Palm Beach require a building permit, and every impact-rated product must carry a Florida Product Approval NOA matching your specific configuration. If your home is in Flamingo Park, El Cid, Old Northwood, or another HPB-designated district, you also need a Certificate of Appropriateness before the building permit will even be accepted. We handle all of that paperwork for every job we do. You won’t chase down a single form.
Yes, and we do it regularly. Replacing original 1920s-1940s jalousie or steel casement windows in West Palm Beach’s historic districts requires sourcing impact-rated simulated divided-light (SDL) units that replicate the original muntin pattern and profile. The Historic Preservation Board mandates this replication, which means standard off-the-shelf single-lite sliders will be rejected. We order from manufacturers like ViewLux that offer true SDL construction on impact-rated laminated glass, and we submit the Certificate of Appropriateness as part of the permit package. If you’re stuck on where to start, call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll walk you through the exact sequence for your block.
No. The price we quote is the price you pay. We write line-item quotes on site, and we don’t issue change orders for rotted studs, out-of-square openings, or extra flashing. Upfront pricing means exactly that. If we find something during installation that should be fixed, we tell you before we touch it, we show you what it will cost, and you decide. But the original scope price does not change. That’s Ed Winslow’s rule, and it’s been that way since 2011.
Custom-fabricated impact units run four to six weeks from approval to delivery, and installation can often be completed in a single day once the units arrive on site. Larger jobs with multiple openings, historic-district SDL configurations, or structural repair work may take two to five days of installation. We’ll give you a schedule before you sign, and we’ll hold to it. Call (561) 660-9539 for a specific timeline on your project, and we’ll give you straight dates, not a range we can’t defend.

What West Palm Beach Customers Say
"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"The old aluminium sliders howled every afternoon storm and swelter came straight through the glass. The new impact sliders shut with a sound like a bank vault and the back rooms finally hold their temperature."
- Percival Whitcombe"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
