AfterFast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Greenacres
Custom and geometric windows in Greenacres typically cost between $2,500 and $5,000 per opening for impact-rated units, with simpler shaped windows starting around $900 and whole-home packages running $8,000 to $25,000 or more. Most custom fabrication takes 4 to 6 weeks from measure to install, and we handle the permit, the tear-out, and the final inspection. If you’re staring at a jalousie window in a Florida room or a corroded aluminum frame that’s seen forty years of South Florida humidity, call Ed Winslow’s team at (561) 468-6136 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
We’ve been doing this long enough to know that a window quote in Greenacres is not the same as a window quote in Boca or Jupiter. Greenacres sits inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, but it is not in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward. That one fact changes which products you should pay for, which rating your permit requires, and how much your quote should actually run. A lot of contractors either don’t know the county line or quietly quote Miami-Dade NOA products here anyway because they cost more. We don’t do that. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Our Custom & Geometric Windows team specs exactly what Greenacres code requires: Florida Product Approval with design pressures matched to your opening, nothing pricier than it needs to be.
We’re locally owned and owner-operated, in business since 2011, with a published address and license number. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every technician who shows up at your door is background-checked and in uniform, and every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. For homeowners in Greenacres who’ve been burned by vague estimates or no-show crews, that’s the whole ballgame.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Greenacres
Custom windows are not a sideline for us. They’re one of the core things we do, and we do them in the specific housing stock Greenacres was built on: concrete block construction homes from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, most still carrying original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousies. Here’s what that looks like:
Custom Impact Windows
Every replacement window in Greenacres must be impact-rated, full stop. The design wind speeds here demand it, even though we’re outside the HVHZ. That means laminated glass with a structural interlayer, tested and labeled with a Florida Product Approval number for your specific configuration. We match the design pressure to the opening size and your home’s elevation, not a guess. A custom impact window in Greenacres runs $800 to $1,500 per opening for standard shapes, $1,800 and up for larger units.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Triangles, trapezoids, pentagons, octagons. These are not stock items at a big-box store, and they’re not something you want specified by a salesperson who’s never measured one. We measure every opening in person, in Greenacres, on your actual jamb. Then we order the unit cut to the exact angles. On 1970s CBS homes, which make up a huge share of Greenacres, we routinely find the original rough opening has shifted or the jamb has corroded, which is why a full-frame tear-out is usually the right call, not a pocket insert.
Arched & Curved Windows
Arched tops over a front door or a curved transom in a living room change the whole look of a house. They also require real fabrication skill and a lot of patience with the jamb work. On a job off Jog Road, we tore out a corroded aluminum jalousie window in a Florida room and replaced it with a custom arched PGT impact-rated unit. Our crew pulled the old jamb and sash, built a new pressure-treated jamb to carry the heavier laminated glass interlayer unit, and the homeowner passed the Palm Beach County permit inspection on the first visit.
Oversized Openings
Large fixed picture windows, wall-to-wall glass in a Florida room, or a wide opening where a slider used to be all fall into this category. These are the $2,500 to $5,000 jobs. Glass gets heavy, wind loads get multiplied across a bigger surface, and the frame and header have to carry that. We do the structural fastening right, and we document everything for your permit file and your insurance carrier.

We also service and replace units from Therma-Tru and other major manufacturers. Because we stock common parts locally for Greenacres customers, turnaround on service calls is faster than waiting on a shipment.

We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s repairable or needs replacement, and you’ll get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames on jalousie windows. Decades of South Florida humidity and high UV chalk corrode the aluminum and degrade the glazing seals. These units cannot be made hurricane-compliant and must be fully removed and replaced with an impact-rated unit to close a permit in Palm Beach County. We see this constantly on 1970s and 1980s CBS homes throughout Greenacres, especially in bathrooms, utility rooms, and Florida rooms.
- Binding sashes from pocket-insert installs into corroded jambs. Some contractors try to save money by inserting a new sash into the original 40-year-old aluminum jamb. Within two seasons, the sash binds and the seal fails. Full-frame tear-out is the standard job type in Greenacres for a reason.
- Quotes spec’d with Miami-Dade NOA products when only Florida Product Approval is required. Greenacres is not in the HVHZ. Charging a homeowner for the stricter, pricier NOA rating inflates the quote and loses the job to a local contractor who knows the county line. We know the line. We quote what code requires, nothing more.
- UV and humidity damage on south- and west-facing elevations. The relentless South Florida sun causes vinyl to chalk and aluminum to pit faster than in more temperate climates. South- and west-facing windows in Greenacres see the worst of it. We factor elevation and exposure into every recommendation.
Pricing for Custom & Geometric Windows in Greenacres, FL
Here’s what Greenacres homeowners should expect to pay for custom and geometric impact windows. A standard custom impact window runs $800 to $1,500 per opening installed.

What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Greenacres
Let’s get more specific, because “custom window” covers a lot of ground. A fixed geometric window like a trapezoid or pentagon, impact-rated, runs about $1,200 to $2,200 in Greenacres. An arched transom over a door usually lands between $1,800 and $3,500. A large Florida room wall of glass, which we see constantly on 1970s ranch homes off Melaleuca Lane and near the Greenacres Community Park, runs $4,000 to $6,000 per opening depending on width. Whole-home packages for a typical 1,400 to 1,800 square foot CBS home with 10 to 14 openings run $9,000 to $18,000, though larger homes or those with multiple oversized openings push past $25,000. The free in-home measure and written quote are exactly that: free. We’ll give you the exact number before you commit to anything.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s real money available right now for Greenacres homeowners doing impact-window replacements. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact-rated custom and geometric windows. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And once you have a wind-mitigation inspection done, typically $75 to $150, many carriers knock an average of 25% off the windstorm portion of your premium. The exact numbers depend on your carrier and your home’s specific wind-mitigation score, and we don’t guarantee any particular outcome. But the programs are real, and we walk every Greenacres customer through the paperwork so you don’t leave money on the table.

FAQs - Custom & Geometric Windows in Greenacres
Just Florida Product Approval. Greenacres sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, which requires impact-rated glazing on all replacement work, but it is not in the Miami-Dade/Broward High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means you do not need the pricier Miami-Dade NOA rating, just an FL# listing matched to your opening size and design pressure. Any contractor quoting you NOA products in Greenacres is overselling you. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll spec the right rating for your opening, nothing more expensive than it needs to be.
No. Jalousie windows, the louvered glass units common in 1970s and 1980s Greenacres homes, cannot be made hurricane-compliant and cannot be permitted as-is under current Palm Beach County code. Impact film won’t help because the louvered frame itself doesn’t meet structural requirements. The unit must be fully removed and replaced with an impact-rated window, period. This is one of the most common surprises homeowners hit mid-project, and we flag it in the first walkthrough so there are no red-tagged inspections.
Almost certainly yes. The original aluminum jambs on Greenacres CBS homes from the late 1960s through the early 1990s are typically corroded from four decades of humidity, and the rough openings have often shifted. Inserting a new geometric sash into that jamb leads to binding and seal failure within a season or two. We do full-frame tear-out as the standard job type here, and our crews are fast about it. Call (561) 468-6136 for a free measure and we’ll tell you exactly what your opening needs.
The design pressure, or DP rating, depends on the specific opening size, your home’s elevation, and the wind zone for your exact location in Greenacres. Most openings in this market require DP 50 to DP 70, though larger custom geometric windows may need higher ratings. The key is that the rating is matched to the opening, never a generic number. We size every unit to the actual opening and the actual wind load, and we document it for your permit file. If a quote doesn’t include a specific DP rating, it’s incomplete.
It’s the documentation insurers look for after a claim. Your carrier wants to see that the window carried a valid FL# listing and that it was installed correctly with a passed permit inspection. That’s what lets you access windstorm premium credits and what protects you if a hurricane does damage the opening. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and hand you the full documentation at the end of the job. Call (561) 468-6136 to start with a free estimate.
