Window and door work on Palm Beach island isn’t a straightforward swap-and-caulk job. The town’s Architectural Review Board controls virtually every exterior change, the salt air attacks hardware from both the ocean and the Intracoastal, and most homes carry historic profiles that standard impact products simply don’t fit. What you need is a contractor who knows the island and doesn’t flinch at the paperwork. Winslow Windows & Doors handles all of it: ARBA-compliant custom fabrication, marine-grade hardware, and impact ratings that clear Palm Beach County’s HVHZ wind zone. Call (561) 468-6136 to schedule your free estimate, and a live person will actually pick up – 24 hours a day, every day.
Key Takeaways:
- Every window and door replacement on Palm Beach island likely requires ARBA approval – we handle the submittal and the fabrication to match historic profiles.
- Salt-laden air from both the Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon demands marine-grade finishes and stainless fasteners, not standard aluminum.
- Impact windows qualify for Florida sales-tax exemption and potential My Safe Florida Home grants up to $10,000.
- Free estimates, no trip charge in our home county, and a Done Right Promise standing behind every job.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and Ed’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we operate. When a Palm Beach homeowner calls us about a rotted transom on a Mizner-era estate or a sliding door that’s seized up from salt corrosion, they’re not getting a call-center ticket number. They’re getting a neighbor who answers the phone and knows the island.
We’ve worked in neighborhoods like Phipps Plaza and the Estate Section, where the homes are 80 to 100 years old and the openings were never square to begin with. We’ve handled CBS mid-century homes along the interior streets south of Worth Avenue, where even a simple jalousie swap has to clear ARBA because the board reviews exterior changes of any kind. You get background-checked, uniformed technicians, upfront pricing with no surprises, and a Done Right Promise that means if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. Period.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Palm Beach
Impact Windows
The flagship of what we do. Laminated impact glass, Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for every configuration, and design pressures matched to each opening – never a rating above +/-100 unless the specific window actually calls for it. Palm Beach sits in an HVHZ wind zone, and we install accordingly.

Window Installation
Proper installation matters as much as the product. We pull the permits, coordinate the ARBA submittal, and install to manufacturer spec so the warranty actually holds. Custom fabrication runs 4-6 weeks once your units are on order.

Window Replacement
Whether it’s a single failed casement or a full-home replacement on a 1920s estate, we match the existing profile and get the board approval moving. We install PGT, CGI, CWS – brands engineered for coastal Florida.

Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and interior transitions all fall under ARBA review on the island, so Palm Beach Door Installation requires careful planning. We source impact-rated doors from Therma-Tru and match hardware finishes that hold up in salt air rather than pitting within three years.

Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
On a barrier island, your biggest glass openings face the wind. We install Palm Beach Sliding Glass & Patio Doors with impact-rated glass that moves smoothly even after years of salt exposure, with stainless rollers and marine-grade tracks.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach use Low-E coatings and insulated frames that meaningfully reduce heat gain, which means real cooling savings during the long summer months. We cap honest expectations: most homeowners see 20-30% improvement in cooling costs, not half their bill.
Learn more about our energy-efficient windows in Palm Beach.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the single largest opening in the home. An unrated door failing under wind pressure can let the roof lift. We install Impact Garage Doors - Palm Beach that match the home’s architectural character rather than screaming “storm panel.”
Learn more about our impact garage doors in Palm Beach.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arched openings, circular transoms, eyebrow windows – Palm Beach has all of them in abundance, and ARBA generally requires replication of the original profile. We fabricate to match, which means the impact glass goes into the shape that’s there, not the shape that comes off a shelf.
Learn more about our custom and geometric windows in Palm Beach.
Roof Repair, Replacement & Installation
Windows and doors don’t protect your home alone, which is why we also handle roof repair, full replacement, and shingle, tile, and metal roofing. Palm Beach’s many barrel-tile Mediterranean roofs take salt and wind head-on, and we’re the full exterior-protection specialist who handles all of it under one roof.

Why Palm Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island. The Atlantic Ocean is on the east side, the Intracoastal Waterway – Lake Worth Lagoon – on the west. Every structure here takes salt-laden air from both directions simultaneously. That’s not a minor environmental footnote; it’s the single biggest reason why standard aluminum frames fail early on this island. Within a few years, untreated aluminum will pit, hardware will seize, and rollers on sliding doors will grind to a stop.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. The Town of Palm Beach is densely packed with Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial mansions built roughly between 1920 and 1950, with original arched openings, decorative transoms, and wrought-iron details. Standard impact product lines won’t fit those openings, and even if they did, the town’s Architectural Review Board would reject them for not matching the original profile. What this means in practice: if you own an Addison Mizner-era home on the island, your window or door replacement almost certainly needs custom fabrication and ARBA approval before the first pane gets ordered.
Because so many Palm Beach property owners are seasonal residents – present roughly October through April – the ARBA review cycle creates a hidden calendar problem. The board process can run 6-8 weeks for historic structures. If you start in November, you won’t have your new windows in this season. We routinely advise homeowners to begin the process in spring, before they leave for the summer, so the project is ready to go when they return.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Honest numbers, because vague estimates are how homeowners get burned. Impact window installation in Palm Beach typically runs $1,100-$2,800 per opening, depending on size, design pressure, and whether the window is a stock line or a custom-fabricated match to an existing historic profile. Sliding glass and patio doors run $3,500-$9,000 installed. Custom arched or geometric units run higher, often $2,500-$6,000 per opening, because they’re fabricated individually.
Door installation typically runs $1,800-$5,500 depending on materials and impact rating. Roof-related work starts around $9,000 for a quality shingle roof and runs up from there for tile or metal. Every job gets a written, line-item estimate before work begins. The price we quote is the price you pay – no change orders, no surprises on the invoice. Call (561) 468-6136 for an exact quote on your specific openings.
Florida Pays Palm Beach Homeowners Back
Florida’s incentive stack for impact-rated windows and doors is real, and it’s worth knowing before you commit to any project. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact windows and doors. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which on a $40,000 project is a meaningful line item.
Beyond state programs, the federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient window units. And once your wind-mitigation inspection is complete – typically a $75-$150 inspection – many carriers apply windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. We don’t set those numbers; programs and carriers do. But we’ll help you understand what applies to your home and point you toward the right paperwork.
One quick comparison: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper upfront. But they require someone to be home and physically able to hang panels before a storm hits. On a barrier island under mandatory evacuation orders, you may not be there to do it. Impact windows sit in place permanently, protecting the home whether you’re there or not, and they do it every single day – not just during named storms.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Expect $1,100-$2,800 per opening for impact windows, with custom arched or geometric units running $2,500-$6,000 due to individual fabrication. The exact number depends on the size of the opening, the design pressure rating required for that specific location on the home, and whether your unit is a stock line or a custom match to a historic profile. A written, line-item estimate before work starts means you’ll know the number before you sign anything. Call (561) 468-6136 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Almost certainly yes. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Review Board has jurisdiction over virtually every exterior change on the island, including window and door replacements. For historic structures – and most of the island’s housing stock qualifies – the review cycle can run 6-8 weeks. We handle the submittal, the drawings, and the compliance details so you don’t have to navigate that process alone. Starting the process early, before you leave for the season, is the single smartest move you can make.
No. The price we quote is the price you pay. We provide a written, line-item estimate upfront, and our Done Right Promise covers the work itself. If something goes wrong after the job is done, we come back and make it right – that’s the promise, and it doesn’t expire. No change orders, no “unforeseen conditions” surcharges, no vague language about additional labor.
Once your units arrive, installation for a standard full-home replacement can run as fast as a single day for straightforward openings. But custom fabrication for historic or arched openings runs 4-6 weeks before the units ever reach the island, and ARBA review adds 6-8 weeks before fabrication can even begin. The honest answer: plan the administrative and fabrication phase months in advance, and the install itself goes quickly. If you’re a seasonal resident, start in spring while you’re still on the island.
Yes. We pull all required permits, coordinate ARBA submittal where it applies, and ensure every inspection passes before the job is signed off. No homeowner should have to be the one standing between a contractor and the town’s building department. That’s our job, and we handle it from the first submittal to the final approval. Call (561) 468-6136 to talk through your project and how it flows through the town’s process.

What Palm Beach Customers Say
"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"He replaced the front door and the garage door in the same week, both rated for impact, and lined the frames up so straight my level had nothing to say. My wife stopped hearing the highway from the front room."
- Maximilian Vasquez"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."
