AfterWindows & Doors Services in Lake Park, FL
Most window and door work in Lake Park starts with one phone call about a jalousie window that won’t close, a rusted aluminum frame, or a sliding glass door that’s getting harder to drag across its track. Then the permit conversation begins, and the scope changes. We’ve walked enough Lake Park homeowners through that exact moment to know how it goes: the original jalousies can’t meet Florida’s wind-borne debris code, the Building Division flags every non-compliant opening, and suddenly you’re pricing eight to twelve impact units instead of one repair. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s the reality of owning a 1950s concrete-block ranch in a coastal wind zone.
Winslow Windows & Doors serves Lake Park with the full line of windows, doors, and roofing you’d expect from a locally owned, owner-operated company: impact windows, door installation, sliding glass and patio doors, energy-efficient units, impact garage doors, custom and geometric windows, plus shingle, tile, and metal roofing. One call to our home base reaches a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No call centers. No voicemail loops. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do in Lake Park.

Why Lake Park Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
We’ve been in business since 2011, and the way we operate hasn’t changed: published address, published license number, real phone answered by a real person. Every technician who pulls up to a home in Lake Park has been background-checked and shows up in uniform. You know who’s walking onto your property before the first handshake. When a neighbor off Park Avenue calls about a fogged window or a door that no longer latches after a storm, the person who answers the phone is the same company that will send the truck.
Homeowners along Lake Shore Drive and over in the Northlake Boulevard corridor consistently mention two things in their feedback: the free second opinion on any written estimate, and the fact that the price Ed quotes is the price on the invoice. The Done Right Promise backs every installation and repair: if it’s not done right, we make it right. A lasting standard of accountability. National chains hand you a ticket number. We hand you Ed’s word.
Beyond the promise, there’s the practical stuff Lake Park residents care about. No trip charge inside our home county. $40 off any repair over $200. A permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those aren’t limited-time offers. They’re standing commitments, the same today as they’ll be in five years.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lake Park
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Lake Park for a reason: laminated impact glass, Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, and design pressures matched to each opening – never a rating above +/ -100. When a permitted window job on a jalousie home becomes a whole-house replacement, this is where the conversation lands. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Lake Park.
Window Installation
We install new construction and retrofit window units in Lake Park, with crews experienced in the quirks of 1940s-1960s CBS openings: out-of-square rough openings, thick plaster returns, and original framing that needs careful shimming before a single screw goes in. Learn more about our Window Installation in Lake Park.
Window Replacement
Most Lake Park window replacements begin as something smaller: one broken jalousie pane, one aluminum slider that won’t seal, one window that rattles during storms. The permit process often changes the scope, and we help homeowners understand exactly why before any work is priced. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Lake Park.
Door Installation
Hollow-core and louvered entry doors from the original 1950s builds don’t hold up to coastal wind and humidity. We install impact-rated entry doors, Therma-Tru units, and properly weather-stripped frames that keep salt air and wind where they belong: outside.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Salt-air corrosion eats threshold seals and roller hardware on Lake Park sliders faster than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. We install impact-rated sliding glass and patio doors designed for coastal exposure, with hardware that doesn’t seize up after two seasons.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass, argon-filled chambers, and tighter seals matter when your AC runs ten months a year. We typically see 20-30% cooling savings after replacing original single-pane units with energy-efficient impact windows, depending on the home’s orientation and existing insulation.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage-door failures are one of the most common storm-loss points in Lake Park. Impact garage doors brace the opening and keep wind pressure from turning your garage into a structural weak point. We install code-rated units with the same care as every window job.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arched openings, trapezoids, fixed transoms, and unusual geometries come up more often than you’d think in Lake Park’s mid-century homes. We fabricate custom impact units through authorized lines to match the original character of your house without compromising on code.
Roof Repair, Roof Replacement & Installation
Windows and doors don’t protect a home with a failing roof overhead. We repair and replace shingle, tile, and metal roofing throughout Lake Park, coordinating roof and window scopes so your home’s exterior envelope is handled as one continuous system.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lake Park
Our crews work throughout Lake Park, from the streets off Park Avenue to the older blocks near Lake Shore Drive and the homes clustered around Northlake Boulevard. We also regularly serve the neighborhoods near 10th Street and the residential pockets along the Intracoastal edge. When you call from Lake Park, the person you talk to knows the difference between a 1950s CBS ranch and a 1980s Florida vernacular – because we’ve worked on both within the same week. Typical scheduling for estimates across Lake Park runs within a few days, and we can usually arrange to walk the property with you the same week you call.

Why Lake Park’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lake Park’s compact grid of post-WWII concrete-block ranch homes – most built between the late 1940s and early 1960s when the town expanded as a modest working-class suburb – retains one of the highest concentrations of original jalousie windows in Palm Beach County. Jalousies are functionally impossible to bring into compliance with Florida’s current wind-borne debris protection requirements. That means any permitted window job on these homes almost always becomes a full impact-rated replacement project rather than a repair. Homeowners who call about one broken louver routinely end up approving eight to twelve impact units once the permit conversation happens, because the Building Division will flag non-compliant openings on inspection, and jalousie units cannot be retrofitted to meet the standard. There’s no shortcut around it.
Sitting directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, Lake Park’s eastern edge experiences consistent salt-air exposure that accelerates corrosion of aging aluminum frames, hardware, and threshold seals significantly faster than communities farther west like Wellington or Royal Palm Beach. Frames that would take fifteen years to degrade in an inland location might fail in eight here. The salt also works its way into track rollers, hinge pins, and weatherstripping, which is why we see more seized slider hardware and corroded entry-door thresholds in Lake Park than in almost any other Palm Beach County community we serve. The coastal wind exposure category compounds the problem: every replacement window and door must meet Palm Beach County’s impact-resistance or approved-shutter requirements. No single-pane product is permittable. Not one.
The practical result is a compressed replacement timeline for Lake Park homeowners. A house with original 1950s windows that might have coasted another decade in an inland neighborhood is, in Lake Park, usually due now. Salt air, code requirements, and original mid-century materials all point the same direction: full replacement with modern impact-rated units.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lake Park
Window and door pricing in Lake Park ranges widely based on opening size, impact rating, brand, and whether it’s a straightforward swap or a full tear-out with stucco work. What we can tell you honestly: entry-level impact single-hung windows in standard sizes typically run $700-$1,100 per opening installed, while mid-grade impact units from authorized brands like CWS or ES Windows generally fall between $1,000-$1,600 per window plus installation. Impact sliding glass doors usually land in the $3,500-$7,000 range depending on width and configuration. Entry doors range from about $1,800 for a basic steel unit to $4,000+ for a Therma-Tru impact-rated door with sidelites.
Every estimate from Winslow is a written line-item quote with no change orders.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Lake Park
One of the most common decisions Lake Park homeowners weigh is impact windows against hurricane shutters. Shutters have a lower upfront cost, but they only protect when someone is home to deploy them, they require storage, and they add a step every time a storm approaches. Impact windows work continuously: they’re always in place, no panels to carry out of the garage, no tracks to lubricate. For homes with original jalousie windows that need full replacement anyway, the cost difference between impact-rated replacement windows and adding shutters over new non-impact windows often shrinks to the point where impact glass becomes the obvious choice – one product, one installation, permanent protection. In a town like Lake Park, where salt air is already eating at frames and hardware, adding a shutter system means maintaining a second set of moving parts in the same aggressive environment. Most homeowners we talk to end up choosing impact glass.
Florida Pays Lake Park Homeowners Back
Florida has layered incentives for impact upgrades, and Lake Park homeowners typically qualify for several at once. 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 exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which removes a meaningful chunk of the total on a whole-house project. The federal 25C energy credit adds another 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150) can unlock windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your homeowners insurance. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we’ll point you toward the right documentation for your specific situation rather than promising a figure. The stack is real, but the details belong to Tallahassee and your insurer, not to us.
We install products from eight authorized brands, and for Lake Park’s coastal exposure we frequently recommend configurations from CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. Each line has its strengths: CWS offers robust impact ratings across a broad range of architectural styles, ES Windows provides strong value in standard sizes common to mid-century Lake Park homes, and ECO Window Systems covers configurations where custom geometry matters. We’ll match the product to the opening, not the other way around, and you’ll know the brand and model on the written estimate before you agree to anything.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lake Park
Window replacement in Lake Park typically costs between $700 and $1,600 per opening installed, depending on size, impact rating, brand, and the condition of the existing rough opening. A full-house replacement on a mid-century ranch with eight to twelve openings usually runs between $8,000 and $19,000 before any grants, exemptions, or credits. Call (561) 660-9539 for an exact written quote – estimates are free.
Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet Florida’s wind-borne debris protection requirements, so any permitted repair or replacement on a home with original jalousies will trigger a compliance conversation with the Building Division. In practice, that means replacing the entire window, and often every window on the home, with impact-rated units.
No. Every Winslow estimate is a written line-item quote, and we don’t write change orders without a written explanation and your approval first. If a permit inspection uncovers an issue that expands the scope, you’ll see the numbers in writing before any additional work begins.
Installation itself can run as fast as a single day once your units arrive, depending on the number of openings and the condition of the existing framing. Custom impact fabrication typically runs 4-6 weeks from order to delivery, so the full timeline from contract to clean-up is usually five to seven weeks for a whole-house project.
Impact windows provide permanent, always-on protection with no deployment step, no storage, and no separate maintenance, while shutters protect only when someone is home to close them and require their own upkeep in Lake Park’s salt-air environment. For homes already replacing entire window sets, impact glass often costs less than the combined cost of non-impact windows plus a full shutter system. Call (561) 660-9539 to talk through which option fits your home and budget.

What Lake Park Customers Say
"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."
- Yolanda Betancourt"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
