AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Atlantis
Window installation in Atlantis almost always means retrofitting a custom home from the 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s, and that changes everything about how the job should be done. Most openings here are not stock sizes, and most original frames are jalousie or anodized aluminum that has spent decades in salt-laden air. You need a crew that understands what those homes actually look like inside the walls, not a national chain that shows up with a tape measure and a catalog. Ed Winslow and our teams have been doing exactly this kind of work since 2011, and when you call (561) 468-6136, a live person answers, day or night.
Key Takeaways
- Atlantis sits inside Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, so every replacement window must carry current Florida Product Approval for impact resistance.
- Because nearly all Atlantis homes are 1960s-1980s custom builds, almost every opening requires special-order sizing, not off-the-shelf units.
- Impact window installation in Atlantis typically runs $900-$1,800 per opening for standard sizes and $2,500-$5,000 for large or non-standard openings.
- Winslow Windows & Doors is locally owned by Ed Winslow, installs PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and other approved brands, and stands behind every job with the Done Right Promise.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Atlantis’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Most window companies that work in Atlantis are based somewhere else, treat it as a side trip, and price it like a golf-course ZIP code instead of a real community with real homes. We treat it differently. Our crews know the difference between a home off Golf Club Road and one off Country Club Drive, and we know what both of them have in common: oversized glass openings, screened lanais, and original frames that were never designed for hurricane code. When you call, you get a straight answer about what your house actually needs, not a sales pitch for whatever product is sitting in a warehouse.
Ed Winslow put his name on this business over 15 years ago, and he answers for every job personally. That is why we background-check every technician, send them in uniform, and publish our address and license number without hesitation. The Done Right Promise is not marketing language. It’s a standard of accountability written into every job. No national chain will write that down and sign it.
Atlantis homeowners also appreciate our standing offers, and we do not run them as limited-time gimmicks. You get $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate you have received, no trip charge for Atlantis calls, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those are the terms. They always are.
Our Window Installation Services in Atlantis
What we install in Atlantis is shaped by what was built here. That means casement windows, horizontal rollers, picture and fixed windows, and full-frame replacements dominate our work. Single and double hung windows show up too, usually when a homeowner wants a cleaner vertical line on a bedroom or side elevation. Here is how we approach each.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the workhorse of Atlantis retrofits, and for good reason. They seal tighter under wind load than almost any other operable style, which matters when you are three miles from the Atlantic inside a Wind-Borne Debris Region. On a custom home off Golf Club Road, our crew removed original jalousie windows from a screened lanai and replaced them with PGT impact-rated casement windows, using the laminated glass interlayer to meet Palm Beach County design pressure requirements. The homeowner kept the breezy feel with low-E glass and now has a documented Florida Product Approval installation for insurance wind mitigation credits.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s in Atlantis leaned heavily on horizontal roller windows, especially on lanai-facing elevations. These openings are often wider than today’s standard sizes, so we order custom-width rollers that match the existing rough opening exactly rather than padding the frame or reframing the wall. Because Atlantis homes sit in salt-laden southeast breezes for decades, we always inspect the original aluminum jambs before reusing anything. Corroded jambs get removed, not covered over.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
Wide three-panel sliders are common on Atlantis great rooms that face fairways and pools. Replacing these correctly means matching the sightlines the original architect intended while bringing the glazing package up to current Florida Product Approval. We install PGT and CGI sliders with laminated impact glass, stainless steel rollers, and interlocking meeting rails that hold design pressure without making the panels hard to slide. Custom manufacturing for these units typically runs four to six weeks, and we are installed in as fast as a single day once the units arrive.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Where Atlantis homes do have vertical double hungs, they are usually on second-story bedrooms or gable ends, and they were installed before anyone worried about impact ratings. We replace them with impact-rated single and double hung units that carry current Florida Product Approval numbers, matching existing interior trim profiles so the upgrade does not read as a renovation. For homes with visible front elevations, we also spec low-E glass that cuts the afternoon heat load without tinting the view toward the course.
Picture & Fixed Windows
Atlantis has more oversized fixed glass than nearly any community its size in Palm Beach County. These are the wide picture windows and fixed lites that were designed in the 1970s to maximize fairway and garden views. Impact-rated fixed windows have to carry a higher design pressure than operable units, and the larger the glass, the thicker the laminated interlayer has to be. We order these from PGT to match the original opening measurements, and we never pad a rough opening with extra trim to make a stock size work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Atlantis
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and several other premium manufacturers, which matters in Atlantis because the product has to carry Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA for every configuration we install. We do not substitute unrated glass and we do not sell brands that fail Palm Beach County wind-load review. For Atlantis homeowners, that means the PGT casement you approve at quote is the same product that shows up on the truck, with documentation ready for your wind mitigation inspection.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Atlantis Homes
- Non-impact units passed off as compliant. Some installers quote “hurricane-rated” windows that are not actually Florida Product Approval-listed for impact. In Atlantis, that fails code, fails inspection, and disqualifies wind mitigation credits under Florida Statute 627.0629.
- Jalousie windows “upgraded” with retrofit glass. Screened lanais on golf-course-facing sides of Atlantis homes still commonly have original jalousie windows. Those cannot be brought into hurricane-code compliance without complete frame removal. Any quote that suggests otherwise will not pass a wind mitigation inspection.
- Standard sizes forced into non-standard openings. Most 1960s-1980s custom openings here were never built to today’s stock dimensions. Padding a rough opening with filler looks wrong, leaks air, and often fails inspection. We special-order to the actual opening.
- Reusing corroded aluminum jambs. The persistent salt-laden southeast breeze off the Atlantic pits and oxidizes original anodized frames. Reusing a corroded jamb compromises the design pressure rating of the new window and can void the manufacturer’s large-missile rating. Full frame removal is the only correct fix.
Pricing for Window Installation in Atlantis, FL
Window installation pricing in Atlantis reflects what the homes actually require, not a generic per-opening rate. Standard impact single-hung windows run roughly $900-$1,800 each installed. Large fixed picture windows, casement banks, and non-standard openings fall between $2,500 and $5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages across a typical Atlantis custom build land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening count and glass area. What moves the price: whether we are doing full-frame removal or insert replacement, the design pressure rating the opening must carry, second-story work, and any custom sizing. Every quote is written, line-item, and fixed. Call (561) 468-6136 for a free in-home measure and written estimate.
What Window Installation Costs in Atlantis
Let’s anchor the numbers. Impact windows in Atlantis generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed, and that covers the unit, labor, materials, and disposal of the old frame. Impact single-hung windows fall between $900 and $1,800 depending on size and design pressure. Large or custom openings, the kind Atlantis is full of, run $2,500-$5,000 each. If you are replacing every opening on a 3,000-square-foot custom home, plan for a range of $8,000 to $25,000 or more. The variables in Atlantis are opening count, required design pressure, floor height, frame material, and whether full tear-out is needed. We provide a free in-home measure and a written quote before any deposit. No vague allowances, no change orders written in pencil after you sign.
Florida Pays You Back
Several incentives apply to impact window installation in Atlantis, and we help you document the work so you can actually claim them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades for eligible homeowners. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which can be a four-figure line item on a whole-home job. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of qualifying product cost up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, typically around $75-$150 out of pocket, many Atlantis homeowners see their windstorm premium credit land around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. We do not guarantee program outcomes or carrier decisions, but we make sure the documentation trail is airtight.
One comparison worth making before you spend: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you if you are home, awake, and able to hang panels before a storm hits. Impact glazing protects the house every day, permanently, with no panels to store and no ladder to climb. For Atlantis enclave homes with dozens of openings, permanently installed impact windows are the better long-term choice, and most homeowners recover a meaningful share through insurance credits and resale value.

FAQs - Window Installation in Atlantis
Legally, shutters meet Palm Beach County code for opening protection if they are properly rated and installed. But shutters protect only when deployed. Impact windows protect continuously and permanently, and that is what changes your wind mitigation inspection outcome and your premium. Many Atlantis homeowners move to impact windows and keep their shutters as secondary protection. Call (561) 468-6136 and we will walk you through what changes on your particular elevation.
No. Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet current Wind-Borne Debris Region requirements. A wind mitigation inspection will flag them immediately, and no mitigation credit applies. The fix is complete frame removal and replacement with a Florida Product Approval-listed impact unit. We do that work regularly on Atlantis lanais, and we can keep the breezy feel with operable casement windows and low-E glass.
A compliant quote includes full-frame removal where needed, disposal, a product with current Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA, design pressure ratings matched to the opening, permitting, and the inspection-ready documentation package. A cheap quote typically skips the permit, uses a lower-rated product, or pads non-standard openings instead of ordering custom sizes. Every Winslow quote is line-item and written, so you can compare the field against the field, not the headline number.
After a wind-mitigation inspection, many Atlantis homeowners see the windstorm portion of their premium drop by a meaningful percentage, commonly around 25% on that portion. The exact credit depends on your carrier, your roof shape, and the inspection report. What we guarantee is the paperwork: we provide documented Florida Product Approval installation records that your inspector and insurer can verify. Call (561) 468-6136 to schedule a free estimate and we will explain the documentation step.
Yes, and this is one of the most common jobs we do in Atlantis. We match existing sightlines, mullion patterns, and frame colors as closely as the impact-rated product allows, using PGT and CGI sliders that carry the required design pressure for large openings. The glass package will be thicker, and the interlayer will be laminated, but the visual character of the original wall can be preserved. Custom sizing means a four-to-six-week fabrication timeline, and installation is typically complete in as fast as a single day once units arrive.
