Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Atlantis’s Preferred Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Company

Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door, literally and figuratively. We’re not a franchise with a rotating crew. When we send a technician to a home off Congress Avenue or a golf-course estate near Atlantis Country Club, it’s someone who has been background-checked, wears a uniform, and knows exactly what a 1970s custom lanai frame looks like after five decades of salt air. Our published address and Florida license number are on every quote. No shell companies, no ticket numbers. Just Ed’s word, backed by the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.

We answer our own phone, 24/7. You won’t get a voicemail loop or a call center in another state. You’ll get a live person who can schedule your free estimate for Atlantis, same week in most cases. We also honor a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans, and we’ll give you a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Services in Atlantis

We are part of the Sliding Glass & Patio Doors team that handles everything from full-opening replacements to hardware repairs. In Atlantis, most of the work falls into four categories.

Impact-Rated Sliding Glass Door Replacement

This is the core of what we do in Atlantis. Original sliding doors from the 1960s through the 1980s lack current Florida Product Approval and fail wind-load tests outright. We remove the old frame down to the rough opening, correct any non-standard jamb widths, and install PGT or CGI impact-rated doors with Miami-Dade NOA documentation matched to the opening’s design pressure. Every job includes the permit and final inspection.

Oversized and Custom Sliding Glass Walls

Homes on fairway lots in Atlantis regularly have 10, 12, and 16-foot glass walls that were custom-fabricated in the 1970s. These openings don’t accept stock doors. We order special-size units from PGT, CGI, and CWS, engineered to the exact wind-load requirement for your side of the house. Fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks for custom units, and installation is typically completed in as fast as a single day once your doors arrive.

Patio Door Hardware and Track Repair

Salt-laden southeast breezes corrode rollers, tracks, and handles faster in Atlantis than inland. If your door drags, sticks, or won’t lock, we can often restore it same-visit with replacement rollers, new tracks, and adjusted strike plates. If the frame itself is pitted or the glass is single-pane, we’ll tell you honestly whether repair is worth it or replacement makes more sense.

Screened Lanai Door Conversions

Many Atlantis homes still have original jalousie windows and non-impact sliding doors on lanai and pool-facing sides. Those jalousies can’t be brought into hurricane-code compliance without full frame removal. We handle the lanai door portion of that conversation daily in this city, and we’ll give you a straight answer on what’s required versus what’s optional.

Trusted Brands We Service in Atlantis

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and four other premium brands. For Atlantis specifically, we most often recommend PGT’s 7700 series for oversized fairway openings and CGI’s impact-rated sliding doors for standard and large lanai configurations. Because we stock common replacement hardware and track components locally, hardware repairs on these brands often happen same-week. For full door replacements, we handle the custom order, the permit, and the inspection, so you’re never chasing paperwork across Palm Beach County.

Common Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Problems We See in Atlantis Homes

• Failed wind-load tests on original 1960s-1980s doors. These doors were never built to current Florida Product Approval standards, and the anodized aluminum frames have degraded. They won’t pass a wind-mitigation inspection, which costs you insurance credits.
• Salt corrosion eating tracks and rollers. Atlantis sits roughly 3 miles from the Atlantic. The same breeze that keeps your lanai pleasant is constantly working on exposed aluminum. Pitted frames, seized rollers, and stuck locks are the norm, not the exception.
• Non-standard jamb widths and oversized openings. This is a custom-home city. Nothing is stock. Improper retrofits that shim a smaller door into a larger opening leave gaps that blow out during a storm and fail inspection.
• Lanai jalousies blocking insurance compliance. Owners love the breeze those jalousie windows provide, but insurance companies don’t care about nostalgia. If the lanai side of the house still has jalousies, that side of the home can’t earn full wind-mitigation credits until they’re replaced.

Pricing for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Atlantis, FL

What Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Atlantis

Impact windows in Atlantis generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung windows run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, which are common in this city, land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages that combine sliding doors and windows range from $8,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the number of openings and whether you’re doing the entire exterior at once. In Atlantis, the big cost drivers are wind zone, floor height, frame material, and the fact that nearly every opening is non-standard. The close: we’ll measure every opening in your home for free and hand you a written quote with exact product numbers and Florida Product Approval documentation for each unit. No rough estimates. No hand-wave pricing.

Florida Pays You Back

The incentives stack, and that matters in Atlantis where a full sliding door replacement is a five-figure decision. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades on your primary residence. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), most homeowners in Atlantis see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we don’t guarantee amounts. We do give you the documentation your insurer needs, including product approval numbers and the passed inspection report.

One comparison worth making before you spend: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters require you to store panels, haul them out before a storm, and physically hang them on every opening, including a 12-foot sliding door. Impact-rated doors protect you permanently, with no panels to scramble for at 2 a.m. when a storm track shifts toward Palm Beach County. For most Atlantis homeowners, that permanent protection is the reason they replace rather than retrofit.

Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South Florida office, and crews work locally throughout the Atlantis area.

Nearly every sliding glass door in Atlantis is original to the 1960s through the 1980s custom-built era, with non-standard oversized openings and now-obsolete aluminum frames that cannot accept modern impact-rated glazing without full frame replacement. That’s the local reality. It’s not the tract-home retrofit work you see in neighboring Greenacres or Lake Worth, where builders used standard 6-foot openings and stock doors. In Atlantis, every door is a custom conversation.

We replaced a 12-foot sliding glass wall on Fairway Lane that was original to a 1972 custom home. The anodized aluminum frame had pitted from salt-laden breezes, and the glass was single-pane with no laminated interlayer. We installed a PGT 7700 impact-rated sliding door with a Miami-Dade NOA and a design pressure of ±60, including full frame removal and a permit inspection that matched the Palm Beach County wind-borne debris requirements. That job is the Atlantis pattern: original custom opening, corroded frame, code-compliant replacement with documentation the insurance company accepted.
