Our impact windows are engineered to withstand Category 5 hurricane conditions with multiple layers of protection. Each window features laminated glass with a special interlayer that holds the glass together even when shattered, preventing dangerous flying debris. The frames are reinforced with heavy-duty aluminum or vinyl construction, and the entire system is tested to withstand wind speeds up to 200+ mph and impact from 2x4 lumber traveling at 50 mph. When properly installed, they provide superior protection compared to traditional windows and can significantly reduce the risk of structural damage during storms.

The installation timeline varies based on project size, but typically takes 1-3 days for most homes. For a standard 3-bedroom home, we can usually complete the installation in 1-2 days. The process begins with a thorough site inspection and measurements, followed by custom manufacturing (2-4 weeks). Installation day starts early with our professional crew removing old windows, preparing the openings, installing the new impact windows with proper sealing and insulation, and finishing with trim work and cleanup. We handle all permits, coordinate with your HOA if needed, and ensure minimal disruption to your daily routine. Most customers are surprised by how clean and professional the process is.

We offer comprehensive warranty coverage that gives you complete peace of mind. Our impact windows come with a 20-year manufacturer warranty covering glass breakage, frame defects, and seal failure. We also provide a 5-year labor warranty covering installation workmanship, and a 10-year warranty on screens and hardware. The manufacturer warranty is transferable to new homeowners, adding value to your property. Additionally, we offer a 2-year warranty on any caulking and weather-stripping. All warranties are fully documented and registered with the manufacturers, and our team handles all warranty claims promptly. We're so confident in our products that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all installations.

Impact window costs vary based on size, quantity, and specific requirements, but typically range from $800 to $2,500 per window installed. For a complete home project, costs generally fall between $15,000 to $45,000 depending on home size and window count. We offer flexible financing options including 0% interest for 12 months, low-interest loans up to 10 years, and special programs for qualified customers. Many homeowners find that the investment pays for itself through insurance premium reductions (typically 15-30% savings), increased property value, and energy cost savings. We provide free, detailed estimates with no obligation, and can work with your budget to find the best solution. Payment plans start as low as $99/month for qualified applicants.

Impact windows significantly improve energy efficiency through multiple advanced features. The laminated glass provides superior insulation, reducing heat transfer by up to 50% compared to single-pane windows. Many of our windows feature Low-E coatings that reflect infrared light, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The tight seals and advanced frame technology prevent air leakage, reducing drafts and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures. Most customers see 20-30% reduction in energy bills, with some achieving up to 40% savings. The energy-efficient features also qualify for federal tax credits and local utility rebates. Additionally, the improved insulation helps reduce noise pollution from traffic, airports, and storms, creating a more peaceful living environment. The energy savings typically pay for the windows within 5-7 years through reduced utility costs.

Impact windows offer several advantages over hurricane shutters. While shutters provide basic protection, impact windows offer permanent, year-round benefits including superior security, noise reduction, and energy efficiency. Impact windows don't require installation/removal before storms, eliminating the risk of being caught unprepared. They provide 24/7 protection against break-ins and offer better insulation year-round. Shutters can be unsightly, require storage space, and may not fit all window types. Impact windows maintain your home's aesthetic appeal while providing continuous protection. They also increase property value more significantly than shutters. However, we do offer hurricane shutters for customers who prefer them or have specific requirements. Our team can assess your home and recommend the best solution based on your needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Many customers choose a combination approach for maximum protection.

Several signs indicate it's time to replace your windows. If you notice drafts, difficulty opening/closing windows, condensation between panes, or visible damage to frames or seals, replacement is likely needed. Other warning signs include high energy bills, noise from outside, water damage around windows, or if your windows are over 15-20 years old. Impact windows are especially important if you live in hurricane-prone areas or want to improve home security. We offer free, comprehensive window inspections where our experts assess the condition of your current windows, identify potential issues, and provide detailed recommendations. We can also evaluate your home's energy efficiency and security needs. Don't wait until a storm approaches - proactive replacement ensures your family's safety and can prevent costly damage. Our inspection includes a detailed report with photos and specific recommendations for your home.
