Below are the questions we hear most often about impact windows in South Florida.
What should I budget for impact windows?What you'll spend on impact windows depends on several variables including property type and product grade.

How many days does the installation process take?The typical full-home replacement takes between one and four days, based on project scope. Larger homes or projects with many specialty units might extend the timeline slightly. Permitting typically adds some additional time before we can start.

Throughout much of South Florida, all new construction and major renovations trigger compliance with current wind-load standards. We manages the entire compliance process and verifies every installation passes inspection.
