Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do in Boca Raton. That matters here more than in most cities, because Boca’s older Arvida-built communities carry a compliance burden most contractors never mention until the permit stalls. We handle the HOA review, the Florida Product Approval paperwork, and the install itself, so you’re not left holding a stack of forms and an unfinished opening. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’re a locally owned, owner-operated Window Replacement company that’s been answering our own phones since 2011. No call centers, no ticket numbers. When a Boca Raton homeowner calls about a corroded jamb or a failed seal, they speak to a person who actually knows window construction, not a dispatcher reading a script. Ed Winslow’s published address and license number are on every estimate, and our crews arrive background-checked and in uniform, so you know who’s walking up the driveway before the truck door opens.

Boca Raton customers have a specific reason for choosing us: we understand the dual compliance path this city demands. Palm Beach County’s HVHZ wind zone requires Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval impact ratings on every opening, and the HOA Architectural Review Boards in communities like Boca West and Broken Sound often add a second layer of style restrictions that predate modern impact-rated product lines. We’ve navigated enough of those boards to know exactly what documentation gets a variance approved, and what gets it sent back. That local knowledge is the difference between a job that finishes in a week and one that sits idle for a month.

The 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs every install. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That’s a century-long standard no national chain can match, and it’s why a growing share of our Boca Raton work comes from neighbors recommending neighbors.

Our Window Replacement Services in Boca Raton

Full Frame Replacement

Most original windows in Boca Raton’s 1965-1995 CBS housing stock have aluminum frames so oxidized by salt air that the jambs no longer hold a weathertight seal, let alone design pressure. Full frame replacement removes the entire unit down to the concrete block rough opening, letting us inspect the opening for hidden moisture damage and install a new frame that’s anchored and flashed to current code. In Boca West villas and Woodfield townhomes, we regularly find sill rot hidden behind the stucco that insert replacements would simply bury.

Insert Window Replacement

When the existing frame is still structurally sound and square, insert replacement windows slip into the old opening with minimal disruption to interior trim and stucco. This is common on Boca Raton homes from the late 1980s and 1990s where the frame is intact but the single-pane glass offers no impact protection. Inserts cost less than full frame replacement and install faster, but we only recommend them when the frame passes a moisture and integrity check first. We won’t put a new impact-rated sash into a corroded jamb that fails under a large-missile test.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl windows have gained ground in Boca Raton because the material doesn’t corrode the way aluminum does in constant salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. Multi-chamber vinyl frames with foam insulation deliver solid energy numbers, and when combined with low-E impact glazing, they handle the HVHZ wind requirements while cutting air-conditioning load-exactly what our Energy-Efficient Windows - Boca Raton line is built for. We stock vinyl replacement lines from PGT and ViewLux in configurations sized for Boca’s typical 36-inch-by-72-inch and 48-inch-by-72-inch openings.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Boca Raton’s southern exposure means west-facing windows take direct afternoon sun from March through October. Replacing single-pane aluminum with low-E insulated impact glass cuts solar heat gain measurably, which is why FPL’s energy surveys consistently flag original 1980s windows as the top upgrade item in this city. The 25C federal credit can offset up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units, and the windstorm premium reduction after a wind mitigation inspection typically lands around 25% of the windstorm portion of your policy.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux, and we keep local parts inventory for these lines in South Florida, which means a Boca Raton customer waiting on a replacement sash doesn’t get told to wait an extra week for a part from a warehouse three states away. Whether you need PGT WinGuard casements with Miami-Dade NOA listings for a coastal parcel, CGI’s impact lines for a heavy HOA-spec match, or ViewLux vinyl for a straight energy retrofit, we quote from the product line that fits your opening, your wind zone, and your community’s architectural standards. We never push a product we’re not factory-authorized to install, and we never fake a finish match to make a sale.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes

• HOA finish and grid pattern mismatches: Communities like Boca West and Broken Sound often have 1980s architectural specs calling for bronze anodized finishes or 7/8-inch grid patterns that no current impact-rated line matches exactly. Skipping the Architectural Review Board step stalls the permit and leaves the job idle for weeks.
• Corroded aluminum frames from salt air: Homes built before mandatory impact glazing have single-pane aluminum frames that oxidize aggressively in Boca Raton’s Atlantic and Intracoastal salt air. The jamb loses structural integrity, and simply replacing the glass while keeping the frame undermines the new glazing’s design pressure rating.
• Generic ‘hurricane-rated’ labels that fail inspection: Some contractors install windows with a hurricane-rated sticker but no Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA for the specific size. In Palm Beach County’s HVHZ, that fails inspection and triggers a stop-work order.
• Hidden moisture damage behind the opening: Once we pull a corroded frame from a 1970s CBS wall, we often find rotted wood bucks or failed waterproofing that the stucco hid for decades. A contract that doesn’t account for this with written allowances leaves the homeowner holding a surprise invoice mid-job.

Pricing for Window Replacement in Boca Raton, FL

What Window Replacement Costs in Boca Raton

Here’s the honest breakdown. Impact windows in Boca Raton generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800 depending on size and design pressure. Large or custom openings, think picture windows or 12-foot sliders, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 for a small villa and climb past $25,000 for a large single-family home with 20 or more openings. The price is driven by the number of openings, the wind zone (coastal lots in Boca Raton’s HVHZ need higher design pressure ratings), the floor height, and the frame material. A full frame replacement costs more than an insert, but it’s the only correct fix when the existing frame is corroded. We provide a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote so the number you sign is the number you pay. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.

Florida Pays You Back

The incentives stack if you qualify. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), Florida homeowners typically see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The programs and carriers set the final numbers, and we don’t guarantee any specific grant or credit amount, but our team provides the documentation your insurer and the state require to process the application.

One Comparison Worth Making: Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters

Both approaches protect your Boca Raton home, but they protect it differently. Hurricane shutters cost less upfront and do the job when you’re home to hang them. But they do nothing for energy efficiency the other 360 days a year, they require storage, and if you’re away when a storm forms, you’re not hanging panels. Impact windows provide permanent protection with no panels to hang, and they deliver year-round solar heat gain reduction, noise dampening, and forced-entry resistance. We don’t sell or install shutters. We install impact windows that meet Palm Beach County’s 170-mph wind zone requirements, with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval listings for every opening we touch. Permanent protection beats panels in a garage.

What Opening Up an Older Boca Raton Home Actually Turns Up

Here’s what we’re the first to say, because Boca Raton homeowners deserve to hear it before the saws start: opening up a 1970s or 1980s CBS wall usually reveals more than a bad window. We find outdated wiring routed through the rough opening. We find undersized or water-damaged framing, particularly in the wood bucks that hold the old aluminum frame. We find failed waterproofing where the stucco meets the frame, which is exactly what’s been feeding the corrosion for 40 years. And once the wall is open, the permit triggers code upgrades that were never part of the original build.

This is the single biggest reason a window replacement quote moves, and it’s why we handle it differently. Inspection first. Allowances written into the contract in plain language, so you know what the repair cost will be if we find hidden damage. And any surprise that falls outside the allowance gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. We don’t start a job in Boca Raton without agreeing on what happens when we find the things the stucco’s been hiding.

The Arvida Communities Rule in Boca Raton

Boca Raton’s enormous inventory of Arvida Corporation-developed planned communities, built from the 1970s through the 1980s in places like Boca West, Broken Sound, and Woodfield Country Club, means tens of thousands of CBS homes still carry original single-pane aluminum windows that predate Florida’s post-Andrew impact-resistance mandates. Every replacement job here triggers a dual-compliance bottleneck: the new windows must meet Palm Beach County’s 170-mph wind design requirement under the Florida Building Code, and they must pass each community’s HOA Architectural Review Board, which often has vintage style specs that conflict with available impact-rated product lines. Your HOA docs from 1982 might specify a bronze anodized finish and a 7/8-inch grid pattern that no current Miami-Dade NOA product matches exactly. The contractor’s job in Boca Raton is to facilitate the architectural variance, not to pretend it doesn’t exist.

We learned this the hard way on one early local job. On a 1982 villa in Boca West, our crew removed original single-pane aluminum double-hungs with heavily oxidized jambs and found the HOA’s required bronze anodized finish and 7/8-inch grid pattern weren’t available in any current Miami-Dade NOA impact product. We documented the existing condition, prepared the architectural variance package with side-by-side finish swatches, and got board approval in nine days before pulling the permit. Then we installed PGT WinGuard casements with laminated glass interlayers and low-E insulated glass units that met the design pressure for the coastal parcel and qualified the owner for a wind mitigation insurance credit. That’s the Boca Raton-specific version of done right, and it’s the only way we do a window job in this city.
