AfterWindows & Doors Services in Palm Beach, FL
Windows and doors in Palm Beach take a beating that mainland homes never experience. Salt spray off the Atlantic on one side, brackish air from the Lake Worth Lagoon on the other, and a wind zone that demands impact-rated protection on every opening. If you’re noticing corrosion on frames, fogging between glass panes, or doors that no longer seal tight, we can help. Winslow Windows & Doors serves the entire island of Palm Beach with licensed, background-checked crews and live phone answers around the clock. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free estimate.
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 because he got tired of watching national chains send subcontracted crews to high-end coastal homes with no understanding of what salt air does to hardware. Our crews work on Palm Beach properties every week, from oceanfront estates near Worth Avenue to mid-century CBS homes up by the Palm Beach Country Club. We know what ARCOM will approve, what the wind-load calculations require, and which frame alloys actually last on a barrier island. That local knowledge is the difference between a window replacement that survives twenty hurricane seasons and one that corrodes in five years.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Palm Beach isn’t like West Palm Beach, Greenacres, or anywhere else across the bridge. The island’s architectural review process changes everything about how windows and doors get specified, approved, and installed. A contractor who doesn’t regularly work with ARCOM will quote you a standard impact window, get rejected for sightline widths that don’t match your home’s original character, and suddenly you’re paying for custom fabrication you never planned for. We’ve handled enough Mizner-era properties to anticipate those hurdles before they become change orders.
What that means for you: when our estimator walks your property in the Estate Section or near Phipps Plaza, we’re already looking for the arched transoms, divided lites, and decorative ironwork that ARCOM cares about. We photograph original openings, pull architectural drawings where they exist, and build the ARCOM narrative into our very first proposal. You get a real number from the start, not a vague estimate that balloons after the commission weighs in.
Every one of our Palm Beach techs is background-checked, uniformed, and briefed on the specific property they’re visiting before the truck parks. You’ll know exactly who’s walking up your driveway. And when you call (561) 831-7863, a person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a call center in another state. Ed’s name is on the door, and his standard of accountability runs through every job we do.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Palm Beach
We’re a full exterior-protection company for Palm Beach homes. Windows, doors, and roofing under one roof, so you don’t need three different contractors for one house. Here’s what we install and service on the island:
Impact Windows in Palm Beach
Impact windows are the flagship product for Palm Beach homes, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval stands up to wind-borne debris without the chore of hanging shutters before every storm. In Palm Beach’s wind zone, impact-rated glazing means permanent protection that’s always in place, even when you’re out of town for the summer. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Palm Beach.
Window Installation in Palm Beach
Proper installation on a salt-exposed barrier island means marine-grade fasteners, full perimeter flashing, and frame materials that won’t pit or corrode in three years. Our crews understand what Palm Beach humidity and salt spray do to a poorly sealed opening. Learn more about our Window Installation in Palm Beach.
Window Replacement in Palm Beach
Replacing windows in Palm Beach often means matching what’s already there, especially on Mediterranean Revival homes where the original casements and arches are part of the property’s architectural identity. We handle straight replacements, full-home swaps, and custom replications when ARCOM requires it. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Palm Beach.
Door Installation in Palm Beach
Entry doors on the island face two fronts: impact code for wind protection and oceanfront air that eats standard hardware alive. We install impact-rated doors with marine-grade hinges, stainless or brass hardware, and seals that actually hold. Learn more about our door installation options in Palm Beach.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Palm Beach
Oceanfront estates and lagoon-side homes lean heavily on sliding glass to open up to the view. We install impact-rated sliders from PGT and CGI that track smoothly, seal tight, and satisfy the HVHZ requirements Palm Beach’s wind zone demands. Learn more about our window and door replacement in Palm Beach.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach
The same Low-E coatings that block UV fade on your interior furnishings also cut cooling loads. In Palm Beach’s year-round heat, energy-efficient glazing typically trims cooling costs 20-30% while protecting rugs, art, and furniture from sun damage. Learn more about our window options in Palm Beach.
Impact Garage Doors in Palm Beach
Garage doors are the biggest opening on most Palm Beach homes, and in a hurricane they’re often the first point of failure. We install impact-rated garage doors built to take the same wind loads as your windows and entry doors.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Palm Beach
Arched transoms, oval openings, octagonal casements: Palm Beach’s architectural mix includes shapes no big-box retailer stocks. We order and install custom and geometric windows through ES Windows and CWS, built to the exact opening dimensions and ARCOM’s aesthetic requirements.
Roof Repair, Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach
Your roof and your windows work as one envelope. We handle roof repairs, full replacements, and new installations in shingle, tile, and metal, with the same Palm Beach-specific understanding of wind zones and coastal exposure we bring to every window job.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Palm Beach
Our crews work up and down the island daily. Typical response time for a service call in Palm Beach is same-day or next-morning, and our free estimates are usually scheduled within a few days of your call.
- Worth Avenue / Estate Section - oceanfront estates and historic Mediterranean Revival mansions
- Phipps Plaza - direct oceanfront and the town’s densest concentration of high-value single-family
- North End / Palm Beach Country Club area - mid-century CBS construction with distinct code considerations
- Midtown / Palm Beach Biltmore district - mixed-era housing with strict architectural overlay
- South End / Lantana border - smaller properties still under full ARCOM jurisdiction
Why Palm Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Palm Beach sits on a barrier island barely half a mile wide. The Atlantic is on one side, the Lake Worth Lagoon on the other. That means the salt-laden air hitting your window frames isn’t coming from one direction, it’s coming from two. We routinely see frame pitting, hinge seizure, and roller failure on island homes in five to seven years where the exact same product would last fifteen on the mainland. Marine-grade aluminum, fiberglass, and high-grade stainless or brass hardware aren’t upgrades here. They’re the price of admission.
Add in the housing stock: a large share of Palm Beach homes are Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival or Spanish Colonial designs with arched openings, divided-lite casements, and decorative iron details that standard off-the-shelf impact units simply don’t match. ARCOM’s review process means the window you install has to look like the window that was there in 1927, while performing like a modern impact product. Contractors who quote without accounting for ARCOM’s sightline and grid requirements often end up back at the drawing board with a rejected submission and a surprised homeowner. We don’t let that happen.

Florida Pays Palm Beach Homeowners Back
Florida’s incentive stack for impact windows and doors is genuinely strong right now, and Palm Beach homeowners are positioned to use all of it. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, so you aren’t paying state sales tax on the materials. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (which typically runs $75-$150), many carriers apply a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy.
Programs change, and your insurance carrier sets the final premium numbers, so we encourage you to verify eligibility with the program administrator and your insurer directly. But the direction is clear: Florida wants Palm Beach homes hardened against hurricanes, and there’s real money on the table to help you do it. Impact windows are permanent protection. No panels to haul out of the garage, no tracks to maintain, no scramble before a storm. Compare that to shutters: you’re paying for something you have to install under pressure every single time a storm approaches. With impact windows, the protection is already in place.
And a note on who installs them: big-box retail stores use third-party subcontractors who may or may not know Palm Beach’s ARCOM process. A licensed impact specialist pulls the permits, knows the wind-load calcs, and stands behind the work. If the wrong window goes in and ARCOM flags it, you’re not calling a store manager. You’re calling us, and Ed answers.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Standard impact window replacement in Palm Beach typically runs $900-$1,800 per opening, with custom arched or geometric units starting around $2,200 and going up from there. Your exact number depends on opening size, frame material, design pressure requirements, and whether ARCOM approval adds fabrication costs. Call (561) 831-7863 for a fixed written quote on your specific property, free of charge.
Yes, the Architectural Commission of Palm Beach can add weeks to the approval timeline if the submittal doesn’t anticipate their requirements. We build ARCOM’s likely concerns into our initial proposal, photograph original openings, and reference existing architectural drawings so the first submission has the best possible chance of passing. The process isn’t fast, but it’s predictable when you know what you’re doing.
Not with Winslow. Our written estimate is fixed unless you change the scope. We don’t do change orders for things we should have caught during the walkthrough. If we quote a number, that’s the number. Every job ends with a line-item invoice that matches the proposal.
Yes. We pull all required permits, coordinate required inspections, and provide the Florida Product Approval documentation ARCOM and the building department need to see. Palm Beach’s process is more involved than mainland work, and we handle it end to end.
Custom fabrication for arched or geometric units typically runs 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. Once your units arrive, installation on a standard single-family home is often as fast as a single day for the window package, with doors and garage doors scheduled separately. ARCOM approval timing happens before fabrication begins and affects the total calendar. Call (561) 831-7863 with your opening list and we’ll give you a realistic schedule.
Frame corrosion and air leakage on a Palm Beach barrier-island home usually points to hardware and seal failure from salt exposure. Sometimes we can replace hardware and re-seal the units. More often, once frames start pitting, the right move is replacement with marine-grade materials. Our free estimate tells you which one you’re looking at. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll come look.

What Palm Beach Customers Say
"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"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"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."
