Ed Winslow founded Impact Windows work on a simple idea: put your name on the business and stand behind every job. That’s why our 36500-Day Done Right Promise isn’t marketing language. If a window, frame, or seal isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. No ticket numbers, no runaround.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Highland Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
Highland Beach is a different animal than Boca Raton or Delray Beach, and we treat it that way. The town sits on a barrier island so narrow that every building gets hit with salt-laden air from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. There’s no inland buffer, no protected side, no calm corner. Frames pit, seals chalk, and hardware corrodes years faster here than anywhere else on the coast. Our crews know those failure points because we’ve been fixing and replacing them since 2011.
We’re the local alternative to national chains that hand you a work-order number and call it service. Ed’s name is on the door and on every job. Our published address and license number are right there for anyone to check. Every technician who shows up at your condo tower on A1A or your estate off Spanish River Drive is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck even stops.
When Highland Beach homeowners call us about corroded frames or a failed sealant bead on an original 1970s sliding-glass unit, they get a straight answer about what’s salvageable and what needs full replacement. We don’t sell work you don’t need. A free second opinion on any written estimate is a standing offer, not a promotion with an expiration date. And there’s no trip charge inside our home county, which means a Highland Beach call doesn’t come with a surprise service fee attached.
Impact Windows in Highland Beach is what we do, and we know the town’s buildings. The condo towers along A1A from the 1960s through the 1980s carry original aluminum frames that have been eating salt for 40 to 50 years. The oceanfront and Intracoastal estates need large-format custom units and multi-point locking doors. Both types of work cross our schedule every month.
Our Impact Windows Services in Highland Beach
Custom-Sized Impact-Rated Insulated Glass Units
Highland Beach estates don’t come in standard sizes, and neither do their window openings. We’ve spec’d and installed custom impact-rated insulated glass units for large-format openings that Palm Beach County wind-load codes treat differently than a standard bedroom window. At this size and exposure, design pressure ratings get calculated per opening, not per building. We match the number to the opening before we ever order glass.
Marine-Grade Jamb and Frame Replacement
Your glass can carry an impact rating, but if the frame around it is pitted aluminum that’s been in salt-fog for four decades, the opening still fails. We replace entire jambs and frames with marine-grade materials in Highland Beach routinely, often when a homeowner only asked us to look at a sticky slider. The salt-air pitting that’s visible on old frames is usually worse inside the track, where it’s hidden. We show you before we quote, and the quote covers the full fix, not just the part you called about.
HOA Specification Matching and Permit Coordination
Highland Beach condo associations run architectural reviews that aren’t suggestions. Window Replacement in Highland Beach for one unit can trigger a building-wide specification review. We’ve sat through those reviews. We’ve had them require exact matches to original bronze profiles and grid patterns from a 1970s elevation drawing. We handle that process for our customers: we pull the HOA sign-off first, then we pull the permit. Skipping that order is the fastest way to get a stop-work order in this town’s building department.
Impact-Rated Door Systems
The same wind zone that governs your windows governs your entryways. We handle Door Installation in Highland Beach with impact-rated systems, including multi-point locking doors that satisfy both Palm Beach County code and the security expectations of oceanfront property owners. Whether it’s a front entry, a French door, or a patio slider, the installation meets the same standards as the glazing around it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Beach
We’re authorized installers for eight premium brands, and Highland Beach customers most often ask us about PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ES Windows. Because we install these lines consistently in this market, we stock common replacement hardware and can order custom-fabricated units faster than a contractor who touches one coastal condo job a year. We service what we sell and we service what we didn’t sell: if a Therma-Tru door or an ECO Window Systems unit is underperforming, we diagnose it straight-on, whether or not we hung it originally.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Highland Beach Homes
- Salt-air pitting of standard aluminum frames within 5 to 7 years. The dual-exposure environment on Highland Beach’s barrier island means frames take corrosion from both the ocean side and the Intracoastal side, often simultaneously. Once pitting reaches a certain depth, the fix is full replacement, not re-glazing.
- Sealant failure around large-format custom units. Wind-driven salt spray cycles through expansion and contraction daily, and sealant beads on wide openings crack years earlier than on similar units in Boca Raton. We replace with marine-grade sealants rated for constant salt-fog contact.
- Stop-work orders from missed HOA sign-offs. Highland Beach’s building department expects architectural committee approval before permit submission on condo tower work. We’ve seen jobs halted mid-install because a contractor skipped that step. We get the sign-off first.
- Original 1960s-1980s aluminum sliding-glass windows reaching end of life. Much of the A1A corridor’s original glazing has been in place 40 to 50 years. The glass may be intact, but the frame, the track, and the weatherstripping are done. Replacement with impact-rated units is the move, not the upgrade.
What Impact Windows Costs in Highland Beach
Highland Beach pricing reflects the town’s wind zone, its building stock, and its HOA requirements. Standard impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, the kind that dominate oceanfront estates, run $2,500 to $5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages on single-family properties land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on opening count and frame material.
What moves the price here more than labor is the glass and the lead time. Custom-fabricated units run 4 to 6 weeks, and on high-end Highland Beach work, the long-lead items set the calendar. The architectural glass, the specialty finishes, the custom millwork on a door assembly: those dictate when we install, not how many crew members we send. That’s why we fix the price in writing before we order anything. No change orders after fabrication starts, no “material price increase” call midway through. The quote holds.
Call (561) 816-5648 for a free in-home measure and a written quote. Estimates are free, the line items are in plain English, and the price is locked before we order a single unit.

Florida Pays You Back
Florida has a stack of incentives for impact-rated window and door work, and Highland Beach homeowners qualify for most of them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades; approval depends on a free home inspection and the state’s current funding. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is real money on a $15,000 install. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs about $75 to $150, many homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on the windstorm portion. Those numbers come from your insurer and the state, not from us, but we’ll point you to the right inspections and paperwork.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Highland Beach
Yes, in many of Highland Beach’s older towers, the architectural committee requires any replacement window to match the original profile, color, and grid pattern of the entire building elevation. Even if you’re only replacing one unit’s windows, the association can require a building-wide specification review before approval. We coordinate that review and get sign-off before pulling the permit. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll walk you through what your specific association requires.
Highland Beach sits on a barrier island with zero inland buffer. Buildings face salt-fog exposure from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway simultaneously, with no sheltered side. That dual-exposure environment pits aluminum frames, corrodes hardware, and degrades sealants years ahead of communities with even a small inland setback. It’s geography, not product quality.
Impact-rated windows and doors documented with a wind-mitigation inspection can reduce the windstorm portion of your premium, typically by around 25%, though the final number comes from your carrier. The inspection itself usually runs $75 to $150. We install units with design pressure ratings matched to each opening, so the inspection paperwork reflects real, code-compliant installations. Call (561) 816-5648 to schedule a free measure and we’ll explain what to ask your insurer.
Oceanfront high-rise openings in Highland Beach require impact-rated glazing with design pressure ratings matched to the specific opening’s size, height above grade, and exposure. Design pressure is a PSF rating, and residential units are typically specified at or below +/-100 PSF depending on the opening. We calculate per opening, not per building, and Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers are available for every configuration we quote. A free measure is the way to get your exact numbers; call (561) 816-5648.
You can replace one unit’s windows, but the HOA approval process may still require a building-wide specification review before your permit gets issued. We’ve replaced a single unit’s original Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Highland Beach and windows in a 1970s A1A tower after the architectural committee required an exact match to the building’s bronze profile and grid pattern. We coordinated the review, pulled the permit, and installed impact-rated units with marine-grade jamb seals. One unit at a time is fine; the process still runs through the association. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll help you sequence it.
