AfterTrusted Window Installation for Boca Raton Homeowners
Window installation in Boca Raton means working with a climate that punishes mediocre products. Salt air off the Atlantic, 90-degree humidity, and hurricane season from June through November all test a window in ways most of the country never experiences. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve been installing windows across Boca Raton since 2011, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Whether you’re replacing rotted wooden frames in Boca Square, upgrading to impact-rated glass in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, or building new in The Oaks, call (561) 816-5648 and a live person answers. Not a call center. Not a voicemail loop. Someone who actually knows window installation in Boca Raton.
We install everything from single-hung windows in 1970s condos off Camino Real to massive 3-panel sliding windows in waterfront homes along the Intracoastal. Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform, and you’ll know who’s coming before the truck pulls up. That’s how a local, owner-operated company treats its neighbors.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Window installation is not one-size-fits-all, and in Boca Raton it’s especially not. The window style that works in a fourth-floor condo in Mizner Park won’t be the right call for a ranch home in Sandalfoot Cove. Here’s what we install and how we approach each one.
Single & Double Hung Windows
A single hung window is the classic: the bottom sash raises, the top stays fixed. A double hung lets both sashes move, which gives you much better ventilation and makes cleaning a whole lot easier, especially on second and third floors where you can’t safely lean out with a rag. In Boca Raton’s older homes, we regularly replace single-hung aluminum windows from the 1980s with double-hung vinyl or impact-rated models. We measure every opening precisely, check the reveal for square, and install with backer rod and sealant that holds up to Florida UV exposure. A properly installed double hung also means your AC isn’t working overtime against air leaks, which matters when July electric bills hit.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows slide side to side, and they’re extremely common in mid-century homes and condo buildings throughout East Boca. We see a lot of these units where the rollers have worn flat, the tracks are packed with sand and salt residue, and homeowners assume they need a full replacement. Sometimes they do, and when that’s the case we’ll show you exactly why, with photos, before you spend a dollar. We install horizontal rollers with reinforced frames that resist racking in high wind, and compression seals that keep conditioned air inside where it belongs. If you’re on the water in Highland Beach or Gulf Stream, salt-resistant hardware is standard on every unit we quote.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
A 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Window gives you a wide, unobstructed view with three glass panels on a track, typically with one or two moving panels. These are gorgeous in living rooms and master suites where you want to see the pool, the lake, or the golf course, and they’re one of the most requested upgrades we install in gated communities like St. Andrews and Boca West. The critical factor here is track alignment: a 3-lite window that’s even slightly off-level will bind within a year, and the rollers will chew themselves up. We shim every track to level, set the interlocks so panels meet flush, and test each panel five or six times before we call the job done. Ed wouldn’t sign off on it otherwise.
Casement Windows
Casement Windows are hinged on the side and crank outward, opening like a small door. They’re one of the best options for catching cross-breezes, and in a coastal climate like ours that’s a real energy-saving advantage, especially in the cooler months when you can actually turn the AC off and let the ocean air through. In Boca Raton, casement windows are popular in kitchens over sinks and in bathrooms where reaching up to lift a sash just isn’t practical. We focus on hinge and crank hardware that won’t corrode, because cheap hardware fails fast in salt air, and a casement window that won’t seal means water intrusion during heavy summer downpours. Every casement we install gets a full sealant bed and a water test before cleanup.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning & Hopper Windows hinge at the top and push outward, which means you can leave them open during a light rain without water pouring inside. That’s a genuinely useful feature in South Florida, where afternoon showers show up without warning. Hopper windows are the opposite, hinged at the bottom, and they’re most common in basements and utility rooms, though basements are rare in Boca Raton so we mostly see hoppers in foundations of older homes in Pearl City. Both styles are smaller, so the key detail is making sure the rough opening is flashed correctly. A small window still leaks the same amount of water as a big one. We install these with full perimeter flashing, not just caulk, because caulk fails and flashing doesn’t.
Picture & Fixed Windows
A picture window is a big, fixed pane of glass that doesn’t open. It’s there for light and view, and in Boca Raton, the view is usually the whole point: a canal, a golf fairway, a garden. We install picture windows in combination with casements or double hungs in living rooms and dining rooms where you want an uninterrupted sightline. The frame and the glazing are doing all the work here, so we specify low-E glass that cuts solar heat gain without making the room feel dark. In homes along Federal Highway or Yamato Road, where traffic noise is a factor, we also recommend laminated glass package options that noticeably reduce sound transmission. A picture window should make your home feel bigger and quieter, and if it doesn’t, something’s wrong.
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay & Bow Windows project outward from the house - bays in a three-panel arrangement with a larger center fixed panel and two operable side panels, while bows use four or more panels to create a gentle curve. Both add floor space and architectural character, and in Boca Raton we install them in dining nooks, living rooms, and home offices in neighborhoods like Millpond and Timbercreek. The installation is more involved than a standard window because the projection needs structural support, and the roof and floor sections underneath need to be insulated and sealed correctly. We handle that framing and insulation in-house, and we’ll pull the permit that Boca Raton building codes require for any structural modification. A bay window that leaks at the seat board is a nightmare, and that’s exactly the kind of failure we build to prevent.
Garden Windows
A garden window is a small, glassed-in box that extends outward from the wall, typically over a kitchen sink, with side vents and a sloped glass top. It’s designed for plants, herbs, or just showing off a few things in the sun. In Boca Raton, garden windows work beautifully because the sunlight is abundant year-round, but they also fail fast if the slope on the top glass isn’t set right, because standing water, even a small puddle, will find a way inside. We install garden windows with the correct outward slope, full perimeter flashing, and a continuous seal along the bottom where the shelf meets the house wall. This is a small window, but the leak risk is as real as any other opening in your wall.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
We’re an authorized installer for ES Windows and Therma-Tru, which means we’ve completed the manufacturer’s training, we can offer their full factory warranties, and we know their product engineering down to the fastener level. ES Windows builds a premium aluminum impact window that’s hugely popular right now in Boca Raton’s luxury and waterfront markets, and we’ve installed hundreds of their units in communities from Royal Palm to The Sanctuary. When you’re working with a window that costs what an ES Window costs, there’s no room for guesswork on the install. We’ll spec the frame, not just the glass, because a premium window in a poorly sized opening is still a bad window.
Therma-Tru is our go-to for exterior door systems, but the brand also matters when we’re doing full window-and-door packages, and a surprising number of Boca Raton homes have Therma-Tru door glass and sidelites that need coordinated window work. We also regularly install ECO Window Systems for homeowners who want a strong mid-range impact option with excellent air and water ratings. Whether you have one of these brands or something else entirely, we can help. We don’t turn down a window because it’s not from our preferred list, and we won’t push a replacement brand before honestly assessing what you’ve already got.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Your window panes are foggy between the glass. When double-pane glass develops condensation you can’t wipe away, the seal has failed. The insulating gas has escaped, and the window is no longer doing its job. In Boca Raton’s humidity, a failed seal also looks worse faster than in drier climates, and it will only continue to degrade. Replacing the insulated glass unit or the full window is the only real fix.
- You can feel hot air coming through the closed window. Walk around your house on a hot afternoon and hold your hand near the frames and sashes. If you feel warm air moving, you’re paying to cool the whole neighborhood. Frames can warp over time, seals can crack, and in some older Boca Raton homes, the windows were under-insulated at the rough opening from day one. A new window installed with proper insulation does more for your energy bill than almost any other single upgrade.
- The window is hard to open, close, or lock. A window you have to fight with is doing more than annoying you. It means the frame has shifted, the track has warped, or hardware is corroded. A window that won’t lock is also a security issue, and in a ground-floor window, it’s an open invitation. We can tell you pretty fast whether the problem is a $40 repair or a full replacement, and we’re honest about the difference.
- You see water stains or rot on the interior frame or drywall. Water intrusion around windows in South Florida is common, but it’s never minor. What starts as a small stain can quietly rot the framing, attract termites, and spread into your walls where you can’t see it. If you’re seeing stains, peeling paint, or soft wood around a window, call us for an inspection. We’ll open it up and show you what’s going on, not just tell you to replace the window and hope.
- Your windows were installed more than 20 years ago and are single-pane. Older single-pane windows in Boca Raton do almost nothing to stop heat transfer or UV damage. You’re paying a premium every single month in AC costs, and your furniture and floors are taking a beating from unfiltered sunlight. Modern energy-efficient and impact-rated windows pay for themselves over time in lower bills and better comfort, and they also raise your home’s resale value in a market where buyers know to look.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call or visit, and we listen. A live person answers the phone at (561) 816-5648, any hour, any day. We’ll talk about what you’re seeing, what you need, and what your goals are. We might ask you to send a few photos so we have some context before we show up. There’s no pressure and no obligation.
- 2
We visit your home and take real measurements. This is where we separate ourselves from the installers who quote over the phone. We come to your home in Boca Raton, measure every opening, check for square, look at the existing flashing and framing, and assess the exterior wall for any water damage or structural issues. We take digital readings and photos so you can see exactly what we’re looking at.
- 3
You get a written, line-item estimate. No vague numbers, no round figures that change later. We give you a written estimate that breaks down what you’re paying for: the exact window models if you’re replacing, labor, materials, fasteners, and trash removal. That estimate holds. We do not do change orders unless something genuinely unexpected shows up, and if that happens, you approve it before we spend another dollar.
- 4
We handle the permits and the installation. Boca Raton requires permits for most window replacement work, and we pull them. Our crew arrives on time, in uniform, and we protect your floors and furniture. We remove the old window carefully, prep the opening, install the new unit level and plumb with the right flashing and sealant, and then we test it. Water test, operation test, insulation check. It doesn’t get covered up until it’s right.
- 5
We walk you through everything and clean up. Before we leave, we show you the installed windows, demonstrate how they operate, and answer every question. We remove all debris from your property. And because Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, the job isn’t done until you’re satisfied. If anything isn’t right, you call us, and we come back under the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. That’s a century of accountability, and it’s the only way we know how to work.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Boca Raton?
Window installation in Boca Raton typically runs $450-$1,200 per window for standard vinyl replacement units, installed. If you’re going with impact-rated windows, which many homeowners in our area choose for hurricane protection and insurance discounts, expect $800-$2,500 per window depending on size, frame material, and the specific impact product. A full-home project in a 2,000-square-foot house with 15 to 20 windows usually lands between $9,000 and $30,000. These are real numbers from our own jobs across Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, and Delray Beach, not national averages that don’t reflect South Florida labor and material costs.
What affects the price? The biggest factors are window style, frame material, glass package, and whether the rough opening needs any repair. Older homes in East Boca frequently need some framing work once we get the old window out, and that’s labor you don’t skip. Impact-rated glass from ES Windows or ECO Window Systems runs more than standard low-E glass, but it reduces your windstorm insurance premiums and protects your home in a way standard glass simply doesn’t. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, line-item quote and compare it honestly. We offer free second opinions on any written estimate, and we’ll walk you through every line. A free estimate from us includes exact measurements, a full written breakdown, and zero pressure. Call (561) 816-5648 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Installation in Boca Raton
Window installation is the process of removing an old or builder-grade window and correctly setting a new one into the wall opening. In Boca Raton, that means more than just swapping glass: it includes flashing the opening against wind-driven rain, sealing against air leaks, insulating, and ensuring the window operates smoothly and locks securely. A proper installation in our climate also accounts for salt air, UV exposure, and hurricane code requirements. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we handle every part of it, from measurements to permits to cleanup. Call (561) 816-5648 to talk through your specific project.
For a standard single window replacement, most installations take 1 to 3 hours from start to cleanup. A full-home project with 15 to 20 windows typically takes 2 to 3 working days, and anything involving bay or bow windows or structural framing repair may add a day. We’ll give you a clear timeline in your written estimate before work begins, so you know exactly what to expect. If anything affects the schedule, we’ll tell you directly, not leave you wondering. Call (561) 816-5648 for a specific timeline for your home.
Window installation in Boca Raton generally costs $450-$1,200 per window for standard vinyl units and $800-$2,500 per window for impact-rated models, depending on size, brand, and installation complexity.

Yes. Every window installation we do is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty on the product and by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise from Ed Winslow. That promise is exactly what it sounds like: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. We don’t hand you a ticket number and hope you go away. We show up, we fix it, and we stand behind the work for as long as you own the home. That’s a standard no big-box installer will match.
We’ll walk you through everything specific to your project before we start, but the short version is: clear the area around each window inside and out, move furniture a few feet back, and take down any window treatments. We’ll protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths, but having clear access speeds things up and protects your belongings. If you have plants or decorations on the exterior sills, move those too. We handle the heavy lifting from there. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll walk through the full prep checklist for your install.
