Why Palm Beach Shores Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and that means something specific in a town like Palm Beach Shores. You don’t get to hide behind a call center when your truck is parked on Inlet Road. We’ve installed and repaired windows and doors from the inlet-side streets near the Sailfish Marina to the oceanfront condominiums along South Ocean Avenue, and in neighborhoods like the Charisma and the low-rise co-ops east of Lake Drive. The work holds up because we plan for the worst wind exposure Palm Beach County can throw at glass. That’s why homeowners around the Palm Beach Shores Resort and the inlet marinas keep our number in their phones. Every tech who shows up is background-checked and in uniform. Every call gets a live person. Every estimate is line-itemed before we touch a frame.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Palm Beach Shores
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line here, and for good reason. Laminated impact glass with Florida Product Approval is what keeps a window from becoming a wall of shrapnel when the Lake Worth Inlet funnels wind into your facade. We spec design pressures per opening, never a rating above +/-100 unless your structure demands it and the engineering backs it up. Learn more about impact windows in Palm Beach Shores.
Window Installation
Most of the homes on this barrier island were built with concrete block between the 1950s and 1970s, which means window replacement isn’t a simple swap. We measure the opening, check the buck and lintel condition, and install to the wind zone your parcel sits in. Learn more about window installation in Palm Beach Shores.
Window Replacement
A lot of the original single-pane aluminum and jalousie units we pull out of older Singer Island homes are visibly corroded at the corners. We replace them with impact-rated or energy-efficient systems that actually seal against the salt air and Atlantic spray. Learn more about window replacement in Palm Beach Shores.
Door Installation
Front entries and utility doors take direct hits from both the ocean side and the inlet side depending on which street you live on. We install correctly rated doors with proper thresholds, framing, and hardware that won’t seize up after three seasons.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Balcony sliders and patio walls on older Palm Beach Shores condos tend to be original aluminum storefront-style systems. We replace them with Palm Beach Shores Sliding Glass & Patio Doors from Therma-Tru and PGT that operate cleanly even after years of salt exposure.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach Shores with Low-E glass and insulated frames make a real difference here, where the sun beats on east-facing units all morning and the wind tries to pull conditioned air out of the building all afternoon. Expect meaningful cooling savings, typically in the 20-30% range on the window-related portion of your AC load.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest single opening in your home, and if it fails in a storm, your roof goes next. We install Impact Garage Doors in Palm Beach Shores that are braced and impact-rated to hold their rating and keep the pressure from equalizing inside your home.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some of the mid-century builds and newer renovations on the island have unusual openings: half-rounds, trapezoids, clerestory bands. We measure and order custom shapes with the same impact and energy ratings as standard units.
Roof Repair
Wind and salt work on the roof too, especially near the inlet where the spray coats shingles and fasteners. We handle roof repairs and keep an eye on the wall-to-roof transitions that affect window and door openings.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement often happens in tandem with window and door work on Palm Beach Shores block homes, since the wall securement and roof deck both factor into your wind-mitigation score. We install complete roofing systems built for coastal wind zones.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We install all three roofing types common on Singer Island, and we match the system to your structure and exposure rather than selling one material to every house.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Palm Beach Shores
We work across the entire town, which covers less than one square mile, so response time is measured in minutes when we’re already on the island. You’ll see our trucks at condo buildings along South Ocean Avenue, around the inlet-side streets near the Palm Beach Shores Resort, and in the co-op blocks east of Lake Drive.

- Lake Drive and the co-op district

Why Palm Beach Shores’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Palm Beach Shores sits at the southern tip of Singer Island, a narrow barrier strip where every property is a few hundred feet from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth Inlet. That dual-front salt-air and wind exposure is more severe than nearly any other residential community in Palm Beach County. On inlet-side streets, aluminum frames on 1960s homes regularly corrode completely through at the corners and sill weep channels within 15 to 20 years. That’s a full decade sooner than comparable block homes a mile west across the Intracoastal. The original single-pane aluminum and jalousie windows in these 1950s-through-1970s buildings offer negligible wind resistance and zero impact protection. Marine-grade corrosion resistance and full hurricane impact ratings aren’t upgrades here. They’re the baseline for any window or door that will survive a normal service life.
The inlet also acts as a wind funnel. West-facing facades take driven salt spray while east-facing facades absorb the Atlantic hammer. Hardware seizes. Seals degrade. Oxidized frames pull away from the block. When we replace windows on a Palm Beach Shores home, we plan for both exposures at once, because a window rated for inland Palm Beach County will not last here the way it should.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Shores
Window and door pricing in Palm Beach Shores depends on the exposure zone, the opening count, and whether you’re replacing rotted frames or starting from clean buck. Here’s what we’re seeing across the island right now:
- Impact window replacement: $900-$2,600 per opening installed, depending on size and design pressure
- Sliding glass door replacement: $3,200-$7,800 installed, with larger or custom units running higher
- Entry door replacement: $2,000-$5,500 installed, depending on impact rating and hardware
- Full-home window replacement on a typical Palm Beach Shores condo unit: $9,000-$24,000
- Roof replacement bundled with window work: variable, but typically $14,000-$38,000 for the roof portion on island homes
Those are honest ranges, not teasers. We give free written estimates with line items, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.

Florida Pays Palm Beach Shores Homeowners Back
Upgrading to impact windows and doors in Palm Beach Shores triggers real financial help from state and federal programs. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors, which saves you the full state portion at purchase. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, most Palm Beach Shores homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the wind portion of their policy. The inspection itself typically runs $75 to $150. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we’ll point you to the right paperwork and let the inspectors do their job.
One thing worth deciding early: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you when someone is home to hang them, and they do nothing for a window you never reach because you evacuated. Impact windows are permanent protection, always in place, always working. You don’t hang an impact window before a storm. It’s already doing the job.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Shores
Expect $900 to $2,600 per opening for most impact windows in Palm Beach Shores, with sliders and large fixed units running higher. Your exact number depends on opening size, design pressure rating, and frame condition. Call (561) 468-6136 for a free written estimate, and we’ll break down every line item before you sign anything.
Shutters protect glass, but only when they’re installed before a storm, and they fail if you’re not home. Impact windows are permanent protection that’s always in place, and they also reduce storm noise and A/C load year-round. For most Palm Beach Shores homeowners, impact windows are the better long-term investment.
The town’s position at the tip of Singer Island means every property is hit by salt air from both the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Inlet. That dual exposure drives salt spray into frames, especially on west-facing inlet streets, and 1960s aluminum windows often corrode through at the corners within 15 to 20 years. We use impact-rated frames and hardware built for marine environments.
No. We quote upfront and honor the number. If we find hidden rot or a damaged buck behind the existing frame, we stop, show you photos, and re-quote before doing anything. You approve every change order in writing before we proceed.
Yes. Palm Beach County’s coastal wind-speed design requirements mandate impact-rated products, and the inlet’s proximity puts many Palm Beach Shores parcels in the most demanding wind-exposure categories under the Florida Building Code. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and pass final before we call a job complete. Your sign-off is the last step.

What Palm Beach Shores 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."
