Plantation runs on a rhythm of older CBS ranch homes, tight planned subdivisions, and hurricane seasons that arrive like clockwork. If you live here, you already know the drill: jalousie windows that rattle in August thunderstorms, sliding glass doors that stick when the humidity climbs, and insurance underwriters asking questions about impact ratings before they’ll renew a policy. Winslow Windows & Doors serves Plantation with impact windows, door installation, roof repair, and the full exterior-protection suite, dispatched locally from our South Florida office. Call (904) 747-8989 and a live person picks up, day or night.

Why Plantation Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door – and on every job we do. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we’re built. When you call Winslow from Plantation, you get a locally owned, owner-operated shop with a published address and license number, not a ticket number from a call center in another state. Homeowners in Jacaranda and Plantation Acres have hired us for impact window replacements, custom geometric windows, and door installs, and they call back when the next project comes up. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking up the driveway. And every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
We show up, quote honestly, pull the Broward County permit, and document every NOA label on every unit we install. No vague estimates, no no-show crews, no warranties that vanish once the check clears.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Plantation
Impact Windows
Impact-rated windows are the flagship line for Plantation homes, and for good reason: Broward County sits inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which imposes the strictest window-and-door product standards in the country. We install laminated impact glass from brands like CWS and ES Windows, each configuration carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval matched to the design pressure of the specific opening. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Plantation.
Window Installation
Proper installation matters as much as the product, especially on older CBS walls where the rough opening may have shifted over 40 or 50 years. We measure to the eighth-inch, flash to code, and pull the Broward County permit on every install. Learn more about our Window Installation in Plantation.
Window Replacement
Replacing original single-pane aluminum frames or jalousie windows in Plantation isn’t an upgrade; it’s a compliance requirement for most pre-1994 homes. We remove the old unit entirely, set the new impact-rated frame to match the original rough opening, and hand you the documentation your insurer wants. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Plantation.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and rear exit doors all face the same wind and water pressure as your windows. We install Therma-Tru and other approved impact-rated doors with proper thresholds, weatherstripping, and multi-point locks. Learn more about our Door Installation in Plantation.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Older sliding glass doors in Plantation are often the weakest opening in the house, especially the single-pane units from the 1970s and 1980s. We replace them with impact-rated sliding and French patio doors that open smoothly even in July humidity. Learn more about our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Plantation.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Plantation’s year-round heat and intense UV are hard on window glass. Energy-efficient units with low-E coatings and insulated frames cut cooling load by roughly 20-30% and stop the daytime heat gain that turns west-facing rooms into ovens. Learn more about our Energy-Efficient Windows in Plantation.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest opening on most Plantation homes, and an unbraced door can fail under wind load and take the roof with it. We install impact-rated garage doors that carry the same NOA documentation as our windows and doors. Learn more about our Impact Garage Doors in Plantation.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some Plantation homes have eyebrow windows, half-rounds, or custom-shaped openings that big-box installers won’t touch. We fabricate to the exact rough opening and match the frame to the rest of the house. Learn more about our Custom & Geometric Windows in Plantation.
Roof Repair
Exterior protection starts at the top. We fix leaks, replace missing shingles, repair flashing, and address storm damage before it reaches your windows and doors. Learn more about our Roof Repair in Plantation.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a Plantation roof has reached the end of its life, we tear off and replace it to Broward County code, coordinating with our window and door work so the entire envelope is protected. Learn more about our Roof Replacement & Installation in Plantation.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We install architectural shingle, barrel tile, flat tile, and standing-seam metal roofs, matched to the style of your neighborhood and the wind requirements of the HVHZ. Learn more about our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Plantation.

Why Plantation’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Plantation was built out almost entirely between the 1950s and 1980s as a master-planned community, which left a dense inventory of CBS concrete-block stucco ranch homes with original single-pane aluminum-frame or jalousie windows. Those windows predate the post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul, and because Broward County sits within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval. That means nearly every older Plantation home needs full impact-rated product replacements, not just upgrades, to achieve legal code compliance and satisfy insurers.
The CBS construction adds another wrinkle. Those thick concrete-block walls are structurally strong, but the rough openings were cut for window and door sizes common in 1965 or 1978, not for today’s standard frame dimensions. We regularly see openings that require custom-width impact frames to maintain the original dimensions, which is why we measure every opening individually rather than working from a generic spec sheet. And if your home still has louvered jalousie windows, know that they offer zero hurricane resistance and cannot be retrofitted. They have to come out entirely and be replaced with an approved impact unit.
The climate doesn’t let up either. Plantation sits roughly 10-12 miles inland, which does not exempt it from HVHZ wind requirements. Year-round humidity, intense UV, and annual hurricane-season pressure cycles accelerate oxidation on aluminum frames and degrade insulated glass seals faster than in drier climates. Non-impact units still in service are living on borrowed time.

Florida Pays Plantation Homeowners Back
The incentive stack for Plantation homeowners doing window and door work is real, and we document every unit so you can claim what you’re owed. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, capped at $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), most Plantation homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy.
Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we never promise a specific dollar figure. We hand you the NOA labels, permit documentation, and inspection-ready package, and you submit it to your insurer and the state. That’s how it should work.
One more comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you if someone is home to deploy them, and they don’t stop the heat gain, UV damage, or noise the other 364 days of the year. Permanent impact windows are protection that’s always on, with no panels to haul out and no storage to figure out. We don’t sell shutters; we install permanent protection. But we’re happy to walk you through the math either way.

What do impact windows cost in Plantation?
Impact window replacement in Plantation typically runs $900-$1,800 per opening installed, with full-home packages ranging from $14,000 to $28,000 depending on the number of openings, design pressure ratings, and whether custom widths are needed for older CBS walls. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free written estimate on your specific home.
Do Plantation homes need Miami-Dade approved windows?
Yes. Broward County sits within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every replacement window or door in Plantation must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval. We install compliant units and document the NOA label on each one for your permit record and insurance file.
Can you replace jalousie windows on a Plantation home?
Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted for impact resistance; they must be removed entirely and replaced with an approved impact-rated unit. We handle the full removal, framing adjustment, installation, and permit documentation. Call (904) 747-8989 for an exact quote.
Will installing impact windows lower my insurance in Plantation?
In most cases, yes. After a wind-mitigation inspection, many Plantation homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The exact reduction depends on your carrier and the full inspection findings.
Do you pull the permits for window and door work in Plantation?
We pull the Broward County permit on every window and door installation, photograph the NOA label on each installed unit, and hand you a documented package you can submit directly to your insurer. Permit-pull documentation is a standard deliverable on every Plantation job, not an afterthought.

What Plantation Customers Say
"Our insurance agent asked for the wind mitigation paperwork and Ed had the whole file ready the day the job closed, every opening photographed. The premium conversation went very differently this year."
- Odessa Fairbanks"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
- Henrietta Pemberton"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."
