If your windows fog between the panes, stick when you try to open them, or rattle when a truck passes down State Road 7, you’re not imagining things. Margate’s original aluminum frames are hitting 40 and 50 years old, and South Florida’s sun, salt air, and storm cycles have been working against them the whole time. Winslow Windows & Doors offers Margate Door Installation and replaces impact-rated windows throughout Margate, and we answer the phone when you call. Reach Ed Winslow’s team at (904) 913-5886.
We know which Margate subdivisions have the 1970s jalousie windows. We know which condo buildings on Lakeside Drive still have original sliders. And we know exactly what Broward County’s HVHZ permitting process requires before we pull a single frame. This isn’t a call center handing you a ticket number. It’s a local crew that shows up, does the work right, and backs it with a promise that outlasts any homeowner’s mortgage: the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If we don’t get it right, we come back and make it right. Period.
Key takeaways:
- Margate sits inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA).
- Winslow is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among others.
- Free estimates, upfront pricing, and a live person answer every call 24/7 at (904) 913-5886.

Why Margate Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and it’s been locally owned and owner-operated ever since. There’s a published address and license number, not a P.O. box and a forwarding service. When a Margate homeowner calls us about a leaking sliding glass door in the Meadowbrook neighborhood or fogged-out bedroom windows near Margate Boulevard, they talk to a person who knows what those houses look like inside and out.
We work regularly in Winfield, the neighborhoods around the Margate Executive Golf Course, and the condo communities east of US-441. Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle every job, so you know exactly who’s pulling up before the truck parks. No-trip-charge visits inside our home county. A free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve gotten from another company. Those are standing offers, not promos that vanish next month. Same with the $40 off any repair over $200 and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
But the thing Margate homeowners bring up most is the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. A century of accountability, written into every job we do. That’s what an owner-operated business can offer that a faceless chain can’t.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Margate
Impact Windows
Margate falls entirely within the HVHZ, which means impact-rated glazing isn’t an upsell here. It’s the default. We install laminated impact windows from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, every unit carrying a Miami-Dade NOA and design pressures matched to your specific openings. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Margate.
Window Installation
We replace original single-pane aluminum and jalousie windows in Margate’s 1970s and 1980s concrete-block homes with properly flashed, plumb, and square impact units. Broward County permitting is handled start to finish. Learn more about our Window Installation in Margate.
Window Replacement
Failed seals, corroded tracks, and hardened glazing compound are common across Margate’s tract-home subdivisions. We pull the old frames, correct any water intrusion around the rough opening, and set new units that seal tight against wind-driven rain. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Margate.
Door Installation
From front entry doors to rear-door impact upgrades triggered by a Broward County permit pull, we install Therma-Tru and impact-rated configurations that clear HVHZ requirements. A kitchen reno in Margate frequently becomes a full rear-door replacement once the inspector flags the original single-pane door.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Margate’s tract homes were built with aluminum sliders on almost every rear elevation. We replace those with Margate Sliding Glass & Patio Doors that track smoothly and seal completely. The difference in feel, and in your windstorm premium, is immediate.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Margate with Low-E glazing and insulated frames cut heat gain in the year-round sun. Homeowners typically see cooling savings in the 20 to 30 percent range. Combined with the Florida sales-tax exemption, the economics work in your favor.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door breach is one of the most common structural failures during a Broward County hurricane event. We install Impact Garage Doors in Margate rated for the local wind zone, not whatever a big-box distributor has in stock.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Round tops, trapezoids, and picture-window combinations in Margate’s ranch homes and condos. Every custom unit is ordered to your exact opening and fabricated with impact glass where the HVHZ requires it. Expect a 4 to 6 week lead time on custom fabrication.
Roof Repair, Roof Replacement & Installation
Windows and doors don’t work in isolation. Margate’s wind-driven rain will find the gaps between roof and wall, and a roof replacement in this wind zone demands proper underlayment and flashing. We handle shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Margate, coordinating the entire exterior envelope so the work actually holds together.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Margate
Our crews work throughout Margate, from the neighborhoods around Oriole Golf and Tennis Club to the communities lining Rock Island Road. Typical response time for a Margate estimate visit is one to two business days once you call (904) 913-5886.

Why Margate’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Margate sits roughly 10 miles inland in a flat, low-lying stretch of Broward County that catches the full force of South Florida’s afternoon convective storms and Atlantic hurricane tracks. Wind-driven rain is the real problem here. It doesn’t fall down. It moves sideways into deteriorated frames, and the original aluminum windows on Margate’s 1970s and 1980s tract homes were never designed for that kind of assault. After four or five decades of extreme UV exposure, high ambient humidity, and standing water after heavy downpours, the seals on these units are gone. The glazing compound is cracked and hardened. The tracks are corroded. The single-pane glass does nothing against windborne debris.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Margate was built out rapidly as a planned suburban community from the late 1960s through the 1980s, leaving a dense grid of concrete-block ranch homes and low-rise condos. Almost all of them had aluminum-frame sliding glass doors on the rear elevation, and nearly all of those doors were single-pane, non-NOA units. Today, the moment a Margate homeowner pulls any remodeling permit, Broward County inspectors flag those doors for mandatory replacement. It’s not a suggestion. It’s code compliance. That’s the most common way a Margate kitchen renovation turns into a rear-door impact upgrade.
Every replacement we install in Margate carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and clears Broward County’s HVHZ permitting process. There’s no shortcut around that, and you shouldn’t trust anyone who offers one.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Margate
Pricing in Margate runs close to Broward County averages, with the HVHZ requirement pushing most projects toward fully impact-rated units as the baseline. A mid-range impact window replacement in Margate typically lands between $1,200 and $2,600 per opening, installed. Impact sliding glass doors on the rear elevation usually run $3,500 to $8,000 depending on width, track configuration, and finish. A full rear-door impact upgrade triggered by a permit pull commonly falls between $4,000 and $10,000. Entry doors range widely, from $1,800 for a basic Therma-Tru to $6,000-plus for an impact-rated system with sidelights.
These are honest ranges, not teaser numbers. Hablamos con usted and we give you a written, line-item quote before any work starts. No change orders. No surprises on the invoice. Call (904) 913-5886 for your free Margate estimate.

Florida Pays Margate Homeowners Back
Margate homeowners have several programs working in their favor when they upgrade to impact-rated windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows and doors are among the most common improvements approved. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you six to seven percent at the point of sale. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return 30 percent of the product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many Margate homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25 percent on the windstorm portion of the policy.
We don’t set those numbers. Insurance carriers and state programs do. But we do help you document every installation properly so the credits and discounts actually land. Our home page has more detail on how we work.
One thing worth thinking through: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are panels you have to store, carry, and hang before every storm, and they do nothing for energy efficiency, noise, or daily security the other 362 days of the year. Impact windows protect your home permanently. No panels. No prep. No 11 p.m. scramble when a September storm shifts track toward Broward County.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Margate
Yes. Margate falls entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Broward County enforces HVHZ permitting on every window and door replacement, even a single unit. Your new units must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We handle the full permitting process. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project needs before you spend a dollar.
Installation can be done as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery, so plan accordingly, especially before hurricane season. Most standard-size impact units are ordered and installed within that window. Call (904) 913-5886 to get your project on our schedule.
Many Margate homeowners see a reduction in the windstorm portion of their premium after a wind-mitigation inspection verifies impact protection, with averages around 25 percent on that portion. Your carrier sets the final number. We provide the documentation needed to claim it.
Yes. We replace single units regularly, and the HVHZ requirement still applies to that one opening. The replacement must carry a Miami-Dade NOA and clear Broward County permitting. We quote single-window jobs the same way we quote whole-house replacements: line-item, upfront, no pressure.
That’s the most common scenario we see across Margate’s 1970s and 1980s tract homes. Broward County inspectors flag original single-pane, non-NOA rear sliders for mandatory replacement the moment a remodeling permit is pulled. We handle the replacement as part of your overall project so the reno doesn’t stall. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate and we’ll coordinate with your contractor or handle it directly.

What Margate 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"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
- Rosalind Beaumont"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
