AfterWindows & Doors Services in Margate, FL
Margate homeowners face a specific set of problems when it comes to windows and doors, and they’re usually discovered at the worst possible time: during a wind-mitigation inspection that blocks an insurance discount, after a hurricane watch goes up and someone realizes their jalousie windows haven’t sealed properly since 1978, or when a sliding glass door starts grinding against corroded aluminum tracks for the third time this year. That’s where we come in. Winslow Windows & Doors serves Margate with impact-rated replacement windows, new door installations, and energy-efficient upgrades matched to Broward County’s wind codes. Ed Winslow owns this company. His name is on the door, and on every job we do. Call (561) 816-5648 and a live person answers, any hour of the day or night.
Our crews move through Margate regularly, from the streets around Margate Boulevard to Winfield Boulevard, bringing PGT, CGI, ECO Window Systems, and Therma-Tru products backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. That’s not legal boilerplate. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.

Why Margate Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Margate’s housing stock is relentless with windows. We’ve replaced original jalousies in single-story CBS ranch homes near Oriole Golf Course, swapped out failed aluminum sliders in the garden-style condos around Margate’s 33063 zip code, and retrofitted impact doors on Lakeview Drive, where late-afternoon sun bakes western-facing frames year-round. The work holds no surprises for us because we’ve performed it hundreds of times in these exact neighborhoods.
Ed Winslow founded the company in 2011 as a locally owned, owner-operated outfit. We’re not a franchise and we don’t hand you a ticket number. When a Margate homeowner calls, our team listens. Every installation is handled by background-checked, uniformed technicians. We carry state licensing and we publish our address and license number, not a PO box. Margate residents in the 33063 and 33068 areas have called us for years because the person who answers the phone is the person who can actually help.
What Margate Homeowners Can Expect
- A real person, every time: 24/7 phone coverage, no voicemail loops, no call centers.
- Local familiarity: We know Margate’s housing types, HOA requirements, and inspection timelines.
- Published trust anchors: License number, address, and Ed’s name on every document.
- Upfront pricing: Written line-item quotes, fixed before work begins. No invoice surprises.
- Standing offers that never expire: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge inside our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Margate
Impact Windows
Impact windows are our flagship line for Margate. Every configuration we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval number, and we match design pressures to each opening, never rated above +/-100 PSF. Laminated impact glass meets Broward County’s wind-borne debris requirements without panels to hang.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in Margate.
Window Installation
Full-frame replacement is the standard in Margate, because jalousie frames and original aluminum single-panes won’t accept retrofit impact glass. We remove the entire opening down to the rough stud and rebuild it with new framing, flashing, and sealants.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Margate.
Window Replacement
Margate’s original windows, those louvered and single-pane aluminum units installed between 1965 and 1985, reach the end of functionality decades ago. We replace them with energy-efficient impact units that seal tightly, block UV, and qualify for insurance credits.
Learn more about our Window Replacement in Margate.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, and French doors all face Margate’s humidity and wind pressures. We install Therma-Tru and other authorized brands with proper threshold sealing, structural anchoring, and impact ratings where code requires.
Learn more about our door installation services in Margate.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Aluminum sliding glass doors to screened patios are nearly universal in Margate’s older homes. We replace corroded tracks and failed rollers with impact-rated sliders that meet current Florida Building Code wind requirements.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Margate’s summer afternoons punish inefficient glass. Our energy-efficient windows reduce solar heat gain and can cut cooling costs by 20-30%. Low-E coatings and insulated frames make a measurable difference in homes near Margate’s canal and lake routes.
Learn more about our energy-efficient window services in Margate.
Impact Garage Doors
Margate’s carport conversions and attached garages often have the weakest opening on the entire home. We install impact-rated garage doors braced for wind pressure that meet Broward County’s wind-borne debris region requirements.

Custom & Geometric Windows
For homeowners adding personality to a 1960s ranch or replacing an oddly shaped opening near Margate’s commercial districts, we fabricate custom and geometric windows through ViewLux and Mr-Glass. Odd shapes don’t scare us, and they get full Florida Product Approval ratings.

Why Margate’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Margate sits roughly 12 miles inland from the Atlantic, which sounds safe until you understand Florida’s wind map: the entire city remains inside the mandatory wind-borne debris region. Every new or replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number. But here’s what’s specific to Margate: the housing stock was built between 1965 and 1985 as Broward County pushed westward, and the original materials were never designed for today’s code. Jalousie windows, those louvered glass slats still present in thousands of Margate homes, offer almost no wind resistance and zero insulating value. They also automatically disqualify most wind-mitigation insurance discounts. Add in Margate’s UV intensity and salt-laden sea breeze humidity, and aluminum frames corrode and vinyl seals fail faster than in drier inland markets. So when we replace windows and doors in Margate, we’re not swapping glass; we’re correcting a 50-year-old construction standard and bringing openings up to current code.
The jalousie window deserves its own paragraph. It remains the single most common entry-point job for window contractors in Margate’s older subdivisions. Original to thousands of 1960s homes, these windows leak air, rattle in wind, and provide almost zero protection in a storm. Replacing them isn’t a retrofit; it’s a full-frame removal and new installation that often transforms a home’s energy profile and insurance rating in the same week. If you live in one of Margate’s 1960s ranch homes and you still have jalousies, you already know what we’re going to recommend.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Margate
Margate pricing tracks Broward County’s impact-market rates. An entry-level impact window replacement might start around $900-$1,200 per opening including full-frame work and installation. Mid-tier impact windows typically run $1,200-$1,800 per unit, and custom or geometric shapes using ViewLux or Mr-Glass lines often reach $2,000-$3,500 per opening. Entry door replacement usually lands between $1,500 and $3,500 depending on material and hardware. A standard 2-panel impact sliding glass door typically starts around $2,500 and can run to $5,000+ for wider openings. Impact garage doors range from $2,000 to $4,500 installed. Every quote comes line-itemed and fixed before we start. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact number on your Margate home. Estimates are free.
Florida Pays Margate Homeowners Back
Margate homeowners have access to a real incentives stack that reduces the cost of impact windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated openings. Florida’s sales tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors removes additional cost at the point of purchase. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection (expect $75-$150) allows your insurer to apply windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we can’t guarantee a specific outcome, but every Margate homeowner should explore what’s available. The savings on a typical ranch home often total thousands over five years.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters demand manual installation before a storm, storage when they’re not in use, and they do nothing for energy efficiency or everyday security. Impact windows perform permanently without any action from you, block UV daily, reduce outside noise by up to 40%, and qualify for the same insurance credits. They’re the reason we specialize in impact glass rather than panel systems. The big-box retail install route often pairs a cheap window with a subcontracted crew from another county and a warranty that ends when the receipt clears. Our 36500-Day Done Right Promise is the opposite of that. Ed Winslow stands behind what goes into your Margate home, and his phone will be answered when you call.

What Margate 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"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"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
