What affects the price

Replacing your windows with impact-rated glass involves a few variables that shift your final total. First, the size and number of openings in your home play the biggest role, as custom measurements require more material and labor. The style of window you choose—like single-hung, casement, or sliders—also changes the math, as does the frame material, such as vinyl versus aluminum. If you live in an area with stricter wind-load requirements, that might necessitate thicker glass or specialized hardware.

About this service

An estimate is an initial projection of the investment required to secure your home. We look at your current window configuration and the complexity of the installation to give you a clear picture of the project scope. Since the number of openings and glass thickness change the total cost, we provide this assessment to help you plan your budget.

Summer heat is intense, and impact windows act as a powerful barrier against thermal transfer. By blocking solar heat gain, your air conditioning system doesn't have to work as hard, which helps keep your energy costs manageable. Getting your windows replaced now provides a cool, quiet environment inside, regardless of how high the temperature climbs outside your home.

Do hurricane impact windows really work to protect against storms?

Yes, hurricane impact windows are specifically engineered to provide exceptional protection against severe storms. Their laminated glass and reinforced frames are designed to withstand the impact of large windborne debris, such as branches or even small objects, without shattering. This prevents the catastrophic failure of the building envelope that can occur when windows break, thereby protecting the interior from water intrusion and high winds.
