Question 1

How much do hurricane impact windows cost in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Hurricane impact windows in Florida typically range from $350 to $1,200+ per window installed, depending on size, frame material, glass type, and installation complexity. Factors like custom shapes, oversized windows, and second-story installations can increase costs. We offer free, no-obligation in-home estimates so you get an accurate price for your specific project. Financing options are available with $0 down and flexible payment plans to fit your budget.

Question 2

What is the difference between impact windows and hurricane shutters?

Accepted Answer

Impact windows feature laminated glass with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer that holds together even when shattered, providing 24/7 passive protection. Hurricane shutters are deployable barriers that must be closed before a storm. Impact windows offer year-round benefits: hurricane protection, security against break-ins, UV protection, noise reduction, and energy efficiency — all without any preparation needed before a storm. Shutters are more budget-friendly but require manual deployment and don't provide the same everyday benefits.

Question 3

Do impact windows really reduce insurance premiums in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Most Florida homeowners insurance companies offer significant premium discounts — typically 10% to 30% — for homes with hurricane impact windows and doors. The exact savings depend on your insurance provider, coverage level, and the percentage of openings protected. Some homeowners report saving $500 to $2,000+ annually on their premiums. Contact your insurance agent for specific details, and ask us about the documentation we provide for insurance verification.

Question 4

How long does a window installation take?

Accepted Answer

A typical single-family home window replacement takes 1-3 days for a complete installation. Individual window replacements can often be completed in 2-4 hours. Factors affecting timeline include the number of windows, type of installation (full-frame vs. insert), accessibility, and any necessary structural repairs. We provide a detailed timeline during your free estimate and always complete projects on schedule with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Question 5

Are your windows Miami-Dade County approved?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All of our hurricane impact windows and doors carry Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and are tested to meet TAS 201, TAS 202, and TAS 203 standards. This means they've passed rigorous testing for wind pressure, water infiltration, and impact resistance. Miami-Dade approval is considered the gold standard in hurricane protection and is recognized throughout Florida and beyond. We only install products that meet or exceed these stringent requirements.

Question 6

What warranty do you offer on windows and installation?

Accepted Answer

We offer comprehensive warranty coverage for your peace of mind. Our window and door products come with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty covering the frame, glass, and hardware components. Our professional installation is backed by a 10-year labor warranty — one of the best in the industry. This dual warranty ensures that whether it's a product issue or an installation concern, you're fully protected. Extended warranty options are also available.

Question 7

Can impact windows reduce noise from outside?

Accepted Answer

Yes, significantly! The same laminated glass and PVB interlayer technology that provides hurricane protection also makes impact windows excellent sound barriers. Our impact windows can reduce outside noise transmission by 50-65%, making them ideal for homes near busy roads, airports, construction zones, or noisy neighbors. Many of our customers report dramatically improved peace and quiet in their homes after installation.

Question 8

Do you offer financing options for window and door installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer flexible financing options to make your window and door project affordable. Our financing programs include $0 down payment, low monthly payments, and terms up to 10 years. We work with multiple lending partners to find the best rates for your situation. Many homeowners find that the energy savings and insurance premium reductions help offset the monthly payment. Apply online or ask your consultant about financing during your free estimate.

Question 9

How do I know if my windows need replacement?

Accepted Answer

Signs you need window replacement include: visible condensation between glass panes, drafts or air leaks around frames, difficulty opening or closing windows, visible rot, warping, or damage to frames, rising energy bills, excessive outside noise, and windows that don't lock properly. If your home was built before 2000, you likely have single-pane or older double-pane windows that are far less efficient than modern options. We offer free inspections to help you assess your window condition.

Question 10

What areas in Florida do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We proudly serve all of South Florida including Miami-Dade County (Miami, Hialeah, Coral Gables, Miami Beach, Doral, Kendall, Homestead, and more), Broward County (Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Plantation, Pembroke Pines, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Weston, Boca Raton, and more), Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Jupiter), and we also serve the greater Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Myers, Naples, and Sarasota areas.
