Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lake Worth Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We’ve been locally owned and operated since 2011, and Ed Winslow runs this business the way he’d want a contractor to treat his own house. No ticket numbers. No call centers. A live person answers our phone 24/7, including at 2 a.m. when a storm is churning toward the Palm Beach County coast and you want to know if your openings will actually hold. That’s not a promise we make lightly. It’s just how we work.
Our technicians arrive in uniform and background-checked, so you know who’s at your door before they knock. We publish our address and license number, publish our pricing, and back every installation with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No national chain will give you that in writing. And because we serve Lake Worth Beach homeowners from our South Florida operation, you get the benefit of a full Impact Windows team without dialing through a phone tree.
Key Takeaways for Lake Worth Beach Homeowners:
- Every window and door in the wind-borne debris region needs impact-rated or protected glazing under current code.
- Historic-district homes need preservation-compliant muntin profiles plus Miami-Dade approvals, a combination most installers won’t touch.
- Salt air from the lagoon and Atlantic corrodes aluminum frames faster here than in inland Palm Beach County cities.
- Free estimates. Written quotes. Fixed pricing before we order anything.
Our Impact Windows Services in Lake Worth Beach
Custom Sizing and Framed Infill for Non-Standard Rough Openings
Pre-war bungalows and Mediterranean Revival homes in the Lake Worth Beach historic district rarely have a single standard-sized opening. We’ve measured rough openings that run one to two inches out of square, and we’ve seen original wood-sash frames so racked that a stock unit would blow a design-pressure test before the mastic even cured. Our crews cut custom millwork fillers, reframe where engineering calls for it, and set impact windows that actually fit the hole, not the catalog.
Architectural Glass and Specialty Finishes to Match Historic Muntin Profiles
Lake Worth Beach’s preservation review board will reject a modern impact window that changes the visible muntin pattern on a 1920s Craftsman or 1930s Mediterranean Revival elevation. We work with architects and designers to specify true divided-lite or simulated divided-lite units from PGT and CGI that keep the original 3-over-1 and 4-over-1 sightlines intact. The glass meets Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval. The street view looks like 1938.
Designer and Architect Coordination with Long-Lead Product Ordering
The schedule on a Lake Worth Beach historic impact job is set by fabrication lead times, not labor. A custom PGT WinGuard casement with a period-style muntin grid runs four to six weeks from approved shop drawings to delivery at our dock. We coordinate that timeline with your designer and contractor so demo doesn’t start before the product is in hand. The price gets fixed in writing before we order a single lite, and it doesn’t change once your units are in production.
Full Tear-Out and Replacement of Jalousie and Corroded Aluminum Sliders
Jalousie windows along the Dixie Highway corridor fail current impact requirements outright, and their louvered frames are often mortared directly into 1940s to 1960s block openings with no nailing flange. That means every swap starts with a masonry patch-and-frame job before the new impact unit can be set. We handle the whole scope: demolition, masonry, framing, flashing, waterproofing, and the final window set, all permitted and inspected.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Worth Beach
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, among others, and we stock the local hardware and sealants these brands call for in a salt-air coastal environment. That means fewer surprise shortages and faster turnaround than a big-box store that has to special-order every mullion clip and drip cap. If you have existing PGT or CGI units that need service, we know the product lines and the Florida Product Approval numbers to match. Call (561) 782-7525 and a real person will answer.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Lake Worth Beach Homes
- Corroded jalousie frames mortared into block: Two-direction salt air from the lagoon and the ocean pits the aluminum and seizes the operators, and the frames sit in masonry with no standard flange. A frame-only repair isn’t possible; the opening needs a patch-and-frame scope before any new unit can go in.
- Out-of-square pre-war rough openings: Original wood sash on 1920s and 1930s bungalows often sits in a frame that’s racked a full inch or more. A stock impact window shoehorned into that hole will leak, bow the frame, and fail a design-pressure test.
- Pitted aluminum sliding doors near the barrier island: Homes within a half-mile of the Atlantic get salt exposure from two sides. Door jambs corrode to the point where a hardware swap won’t re-anchor, because there’s nothing sound to screw into. Full tear-out is the only honest fix.
- Historic-review denials on period elevations: A homeowner buys a standard impact window with a flat vinyl frame and a six-over-six grid that never existed on a Mediterranean Revival facade. The city rejects the application, the product sits in a warehouse, and the homeowner eats a restock fee. We spec the right profiles the first time, because we’ve sat through enough preservation board reviews to know exactly what gets approved in Lake Worth Beach.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Lake Worth Beach, FL
A typical impact single-hung in Lake Worth Beach runs $900 to $1,800 installed, depending on frame material and design pressure. Large openings, custom shapes, and second-story work push units into the $2,500 to $5,000 range. Whole-home packages most often land between $8,000 and $25,000, with historic-district custom muntin work at the upper end. What actually moves the number: opening count, wind-zone design pressure, floor height, frame material, and whether your rough openings need custom fillers (very common in the older core near N. Lakeside Drive). We give you a fixed, written quote before ordering, and we keep that price. Call (561) 782-7525 to schedule a free in-home measure.
What Impact Windows Costs in Lake Worth Beach
The installed price for a single impact window in Lake Worth Beach spans $800 to $1,500 for standard sizes in post-war CBS homes. Impact single-hungs with basic aluminum frames start around $900 and run to $1,800 depending on the design pressure your opening requires. Custom openings in historic homes, especially those needing brick infill and period muntin profiles, sit between $2,500 and $5,000 per unit. Whole-home packages across a typical three-bedroom, two-bath Lake Worth Beach house range from $8,000 to $25,000 or more when you factor masonry repair, custom sizing, and permit coordination.
What moves the price here isn’t mysterious. The opening count and floor height set the design-pressure requirement. Frame material matters: thermally broken aluminum costs more than standard aluminum but performs far better in two-direction salt air. And Lake Worth Beach’s older stock is uniquely non-standard, so custom millwork fillers and masonry infill land on nearly every pre-war job. Our written quote is fixed before anything gets ordered, and it doesn’t change at the final invoice. A free in-home measure confirms every number. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll come out to measure, no trip charge.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives for impact windows stack, and they’re worth naming specifically. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades; state sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors is exempt; the federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units; and a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) typically unlocks windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. No guarantee those programs stay funded the same way, and your carrier sets the final premium number, but those are the real buckets. A wind-mitigation inspection after our install gives you the paper trail your insurer wants. Ask us about it when we quote your Lake Worth Beach project.
One comparison worth making before you sign anything: impact windows versus bolt-on hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less up front, yes, but they require someone to haul panels out of the garage, hang them, and hope the anchors are still sound. Impact windows are permanent, code-compliant protection with no panels to store, no bars to mount, and no windborne-debris gap between the glass and a sheet of corrugated steel. In Lake Worth Beach, where a half-mile from the water changes everything, the permanent solution tends to win. Ratings context matters too: every configuration we spec carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers for its exact size and design pressure. We never fudge a rating above the tested stamp, and Lake Worth Beach’s wind zone doesn’t ask us to.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Lake Worth Beach
Yes. Preservation review in Lake Worth Beach looks at the visible muntin profile and frame lines on period elevations, and a stock impact window with a flat modern grid will likely get rejected. We spec PGT and CGI units with simulated divided lites and period-correct profiles that clear review and still carry Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers. The glass is laminated impact-rated; the look is period-correct. Call (561) 782-7525 with your block and we’ll tell you what applies to your house.
Not if you want current wind-code compliance. Jalousie louvers offer virtually no wind resistance and fail Palm Beach County’s impact requirements outright, and a removable panel doesn’t usually satisfy the code’s definition of permanent protection for a replacement. We’ve pulled enough mortared jalousie frames out of open-block walls along Dixie Highway to know the masonry patch-and-frame job is the honest path, not a bolt-on panel. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll walk your specific openings.
Two-direction salt exposure. Lake Worth Beach sits between the Lake Worth Lagoon on the east and the Atlantic barrier island a half-mile further, so the airborne salt loads hit aluminum frames and door hardware from the east and the west almost year-round. Inland Palm Beach County cities like Greenacres get one direction of coastal salt at a lower concentration. We see pitted frames and seized door jambs here on units that would still be serviceable inland, which is why we spec thermally broken or corrosion-resistant frame material on Lake Worth Beach coastal work. For a free assessment, call (561) 782-7525.
Yes, you need a permit, and in the historic district the application also goes through preservation review. That’s two gates: the building department checks wind-load and impact compliance, and the preservation board checks the visible character of the replacement unit. We pull the permits, meet the inspectors, and handle the preservation paperwork, because Ed’s name is on the job and he’s not going to let a permit lapse turn into your problem. Call (561) 782-7525 for the full run-down on your specific block.
Fabrication lead time, not labor. A custom-sized PGT or CWS unit with period muntin profiles runs four to six weeks from approved shop drawings to delivery, and nothing gets installed before the units arrive. We fix the price in writing before ordering, coordinate the lead time with your designer or architect, and time the demo and masonry work so you’re not living with plywood over an open wall for a month. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll walk through the full schedule on your project.
