AfterWindows & Doors Services in Palm Beach, FL
Replacing windows or doors on Palm Beach island means navigating a review process most Florida contractors never face. The Town’s Architectural Commission must approve exterior alterations before work begins, and the salt air off the Atlantic corrodes standard frames faster than anywhere on the mainland. That’s why homeowners call Winslow Windows & Doors at (561) 660-9539. We know the ARCOM drill, we know which materials survive on South Ocean Boulevard, and Ed Winslow puts his name on every job we do here.
Whether you’re restoring a 1920s Mizner estate on Worth Avenue or hardening a mid-century condo near the Lake Worth Lagoon, you’ll get upfront pricing, a live person on the phone, and impact-rated products that satisfy both the Florida Building Code and the preservation board. No ticket numbers. No voicemail loops. Just a local company that answers when you call.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That has meant something in Palm Beach for a long time. Homeowners in the Estate Section and along Root Trail call us because they’ve been burned before: vague estimates, no-show crews, warranties that evaporated once the check cleared. We do not operate that way. Our published address, license number, and the Done Right Promise are public facts, not marketing copy. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Every technician who arrives at your Palm Beach home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s at your door before the truck stops. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a call center. Not a next-business-day callback. When a storm is bearing down on the island and you need to know if your openings are truly protected, you’ll talk to a human being who can actually help.
We’ve handled window and door work in the Phipps Plaza historic district and on North Lake Way, and we understand what those homes demand. The island’s Mediterranean Revival estates don’t accommodate catalog products. We solve that with custom fabrication and design-review experience that mainland crews simply don’t have.
Key takeaways:
- Locally owned and owner-operated by Ed Winslow, with a published address and license number.
- Done Right Promise backing every installation and repair.
- 24/7 live phone answer. Always a person, never a menu tree.
- Authorized installer for PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, ES Windows, and more.
- Free second opinions on any written estimate, plus $40 off any repair over $200.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Palm Beach
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Palm Beach, where the island’s wind-borne debris zone makes impact-rated glazing mandatory for replacements. We install laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, design pressures matched to each opening, and HVHZ compliance where the wind zone requires it. We never pad ratings above +/-100; your opening gets what it needs, spec’d honestly.

Window Installation
Proper installation is where most failures begin, especially on a barrier island where salt air finds every gap. Our crews reseal openings to code, flash properly, and ensure your new units won’t leak in the next nor’easter.

Window Replacement
The housing stock here runs from 1920s Mizner originals to post-1990s oceanfront builds, and none of them accept off-the-shelf replacements without modification. We measure, fabricate, and install replacements that match existing openings and pass ARCOM review.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in Palm Beach.
Door Installation
Entry doors on Palm Beach estates often weigh hundreds of pounds and must resist wind-load pressures most mainland doors never see. Our Palm Beach Door Installation team fits doors that hold their seals through hurricane season and close true, every time.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing homes demand sliding doors that don’t bow under pressure. We install Palm Beach Sliding Glass & Patio Doors that are impact-rated and engineered for direct-exposure conditions, with hardware that survives salt air punishment.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Palm Beach cooling costs run high from May through October. Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach cut solar gain meaningfully, and our clients notice the difference in their FPL bills, not just in the spec sheet.
Impact Garage Doors
Garages are the most common breach point in a hurricane. We install Impact Garage Doors - Palm Beach rated to keep wind and water out and hold their track under design pressures.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arched casements, eyebrow windows, decorative muntins, and non-standard proportions are the norm on Palm Beach’s Mediterranean Revival estates. We fabricate custom units that satisfy both the Florida Building Code and the Town’s design-review standards.
Roof Repair, Roof Replacement & Installation
A window or door is only as good as the wall it’s mounted in, and a leaking roof compromises everything below it. We repair and replace shingle, tile, and metal roofing across Palm Beach, including the barrel-tile profiles common on the island’s historic homes.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
From Mizner-era clay barrel tile to standing-seam metal on modern builds, we handle the full roofing scope with the same accountability we bring to every window and door job. Upfront pricing, written line-item quotes, and workmanship warranty on every installation.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Palm Beach
Our crews work throughout the island, and we know the differences between a Worth Avenue storefront and a North End estate. Typical response time for an estimate anywhere in Palm Beach is same week, often sooner.

- North End (Root Trail, North Lake Way)

Why Palm Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission requires design-review approval before any exterior window or door can be replaced. That means impact-rated products must simultaneously satisfy Florida’s wind-load code and visually replicate the arched casements, decorative muntins, and custom ironwork of the island’s 1920s to 1930s Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival estates. Contractors working just across the Intracoastal in West Palm Beach never face this dual compliance burden. Every replacement job here is effectively a custom fabrication project reviewed by a historic-preservation board.
Then there’s the salt. As a narrow barrier island flanked by the Atlantic on the east and the Lake Worth Lagoon on the west, every parcel in Palm Beach is exposed to salt air from at least one direction. Standard aluminum frames corrode significantly faster here than they do a few miles inland. On South Ocean Boulevard estates with direct Atlantic frontage, salt spray is aggressive enough that even marine-grade anodized aluminum frames can show visible pitting within a few years. ARCOM frequently steers approvals toward bronze-clad wood or fiberglass frames anyway, to match the historic fenestration profiles. So the preservation board and the corrosion problem often push toward the same material solution simultaneously.
We plan for both realities on every job. The Florida Building Code places all of Palm Beach in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, so impact-rated glazing is mandatory for replacement windows and doors. The ARCOM review means those impact products cannot look generic. We’ve spent years navigating exactly that tension, and we’ve built our fabrication relationships around it.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Honest numbers matter. In Palm Beach, expect impact window replacement to run higher than mainland Broward or central Palm Beach County pricing, largely because of custom fabrication, ARCOM compliance, and premium frame materials specified for salt-air longevity. Entry-level impact windows on simpler openings can start around $1,100 to $1,400 per unit installed. Larger custom arched units, bronze-clad frames, or direct-oceanfront installations routinely run $3,000 to $6,000 per opening. Doors depend on size and hardware: a standard impact-rated entry door often lands between $3,500 and $8,000, and grand custom doors can exceed $15,000.
A wind-mitigation inspection costs roughly $75 to $150, and the resulting windstorm-premium credit averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of your insurance bill. These aren’t guaranteed figures; your carrier sets the final number. What we guarantee is a written line-item quote with no change orders and no surprise line items on the invoice.
We also make the math easier before work begins: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on any written estimate you’ve received, no trip charge for properties on the island, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those offers never expire. They’re standing commitments, not bait.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Yes. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission requires design-review approval before any exterior window or door alteration, including replacements. We prepare submittals that address both wind-load compliance and visual compatibility with your home’s architectural character. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll walk you through the process, starting with a free estimate.
Most impact window replacements on the island run between $1,100 and $6,000 per opening, depending on size, frame material, custom geometry, and whether your home faces direct salt exposure. Custom arched units on historic estates sit at the higher end. Call (561) 660-9539 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Once your units arrive, installation can be as fast as a single day for most openings. But custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks, and ARCOM review can add 30 to 60 days before fabrication begins. We’ll give you a realistic schedule before you commit. Call (561) 660-9539 to get started, and we’ll map out the full timeline for your home.
No. We work from written line-item quotes, and our no-change-order policy means the number you approve is the number you pay. If we discover hidden damage behind an existing frame, we’ll show you, explain it, and get your sign-off before doing anything. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll put exact numbers in writing.
We pull all permits and manage the ARCOM submittal and inspection process for every job on the island. That’s part of why Palm Beach homeowners choose a local crew with island experience over a mainland contractor learning the process on your dime. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll handle the paperwork from start to finish.
Florida Pays Palm Beach Homeowners Back
The incentives stack is real, and it’s worth understanding before you write a check. 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. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, many carriers credit windstorm-premium reductions averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy.
We cannot guarantee what any program or carrier will ultimately approve. Those decisions belong to the state and your insurer. But we can help you document the upgrades correctly the first time, so you don’t lose credits because of sloppy paperwork. There is a comparison worth making too: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but they do nothing unless you’re home to deploy them, and they do nothing for daily security, energy efficiency, or resale appeal. Impact windows protect permanently, no panels to hang, no storm-day scramble. If you’ve looked at big-box retail installation quotes, ask about their ARCOM experience and their design-pressure documentation. Then call us at (561) 660-9539 for a free second opinion on any written estimate. The one down the road.

What Palm Beach Customers Say
"The installation was clean and the windows are beautiful. The factory took about six weeks to deliver the units, which Ed told me upfront, but living behind plywood-framed openings in the meantime still tested my patience."
- Guadalupe Zamorano"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."
