The window types we install
Six window types,
one opening.
Pick a type and watch the same opening change, with how it moves drawn on the wall. We measure every opening and specify the type that fits the structure and the room.
Same wall, same opening: only the window changes. Most homes end up with a mix.
Impact glass options
Same window, after dark:
pick the glass.
Every impact glass is laminated and holds in the frame when it breaks. The tint and the interlayer decide how much light goes in, how much gets out and who can see inside.
Same impact strength in all four. Any of them can carry a Low-E coating such as Solarban 70.
Frame colors
One house,
four frame colors.
The frame is the line you see from the street. Watch the same facade change and pick the one that fits the house.
Aluminum frames with a powder coat built for the Florida sun (AAMA 2604) or a clear anodized finish.
Read the label
What the sticker on new glass
tells the inspector.
A real label on a window we installed in Boca Raton. Every impact window leaves the factory with one, and the inspector reads it before signing off. Tap each part.
Client and order details blurred. The label stays on the glass until the final inspection.
Brands we install
Two manufacturers,
one crew installing both.
We are a direct dealer of ES Windows and CWS, so your order goes straight to the factory. We pick the line that fits each opening, the look of the house and the code where you live.

Solar control and the coast
The coating decides the cooling bill.
The tint decides the beach.
Impact strength comes from the laminate. How much heat comes through is a separate choice: look at the solar heat gain coefficient, the share of the sun's energy that makes it into the room. Here the load is cooling, so it matters more than the insulation value.
| Glass | Visible light | Solar heat gain | Light to solar gain | Under the 45% turtle threshold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solarban 60 with clear | 70% | 0.39 | 1.79 | No |
| Solarban 70 with clear | 64% | 0.27 | 2.37 | No |
| Solarbronze with Solarban 70 | 38% | 0.26 | 1.46 | Yes |
| Solargray with Solarban 70 | 32% | 0.24 | 1.33 | Yes |
Solarban is made by Vitro Architectural Glass, formerly PPG, and Solarban 70 was sold as Solarban 70XL until 2019. These are Vitro's published figures for a 1-inch insulating unit with a 1/2-inch airspace and two 1/4-inch lites. Most of what we install is 9/16-inch laminated impact, which is a different buildup and carries different numbers. We give you the figures for the exact glass on your quote, not these.
The turtle rule on the beach
Where indoor light shows from a nesting beach, the glass may let out 45 percent of the light or less (Florida Rule 62B-55). Counties and some towns add their own rules, so we confirm it with the building department.
Nesting season in Palm Beach
Environmental Resources Management enforces it under the county code. Martin, Broward and Miami-Dade each have their own ordinance.
The gray also cuts the heat
Solargray with Solarban 70 lets in 0.24 of the sun's heat, against 0.27 for the clear version. On the beach the turtle rule and the power bill pull the same way.
What we will not tell you: a percentage off your power bill. It depends on how much glass faces west, the attic and the air handler. We put the exact glass on your quote, and on a north-facing room the cheaper coating is often the right one.

Britni FoulonJul 2026We had a great experience working with this company. They came out to one of our customer's homes to complete a window door repair, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish.
Communication was excellent—they were responsive, kept everyone informed, showed up when they said they would, and completed high-quality work. Our customer was happy, and that reflects well on us too.
As fellow business owners, we truly appreciate finding companies that are reliable, professional, and take pride in their work. It's not always easy to find businesses you feel confident referring to your own clients, but this is definitely one we'll continue to recommend.
Thank you for making us look good and for providing such great service!

When calling they answered the phone immediately, they were kind and knowledgeable and very reasonably priced.

JennySep 2026From the moment I walked into the showroom, I was blown away! The entire space is absolutely stunning - sexy, classy, modern, and so beautifully designed. It honestly felt like walking into a posh Miami hotel, and it even smelled amazing!
I had the pleasure of speaking with Deena in sales, and she was phenomenal! She was warm, professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout my visit. She took the time to answer my questions and made the whole experience feel exciting and effortless.
Everything was displayed beautifully, and after visiting the showroom and speaking with Deena, I’m even more excited about my project. I seriously can’t wait to get started!
If the showroom and customer service are any indication of what’s to come, I know my project is going to be amazing. Highly recommend stopping by - and definitely ask for Deena!

Impact window FAQ
Questions we get
every week.
Not sure what your house needs? Call us and an estimator will walk you through it.
Do impact windows replace my hurricane shutters?
In most cases yes. Impact-rated windows are a permanent form of opening protection, so once every glazed opening in the house is impact-rated you no longer need panels or accordions on those openings. If you do the job in phases, keep the shutters on whatever has not been replaced yet. Your building department looks at the whole envelope, not one window.
Which window type should I choose?
Most homes end up with a mix. Single hung is the best value per opening, horizontal rollers suit wide openings, casements seal tightest and catch a breeze, awnings can stay open in the rain, and picture windows give you the most glass. We measure every opening and specify the type that fits the structure, the elevation and the way you use the room.
How long does an installation take?
The install itself is usually one to three days for a typical single-family home, depending on the number of openings and whether we are working from the inside or the outside. The longer part is before that: manufacturing lead time after the final measure, plus permit review at your building department. Both vary by season and by jurisdiction, and we give you the current numbers in writing with your proposal.
Do I need a permit to replace windows?
Yes. Replacing windows and exterior doors is permitted work everywhere in Martin, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade, and the permit application has to include the product approval for the exact unit being installed. We prepare and submit the package, and we meet the inspector at the end. If a contractor offers to skip the permit, that is the moment to walk away, because an unpermitted window will follow you to closing and to your insurer. See permits and approvals.
What is a DP rating and why does it matter?
DP stands for design pressure. It is the wind load the complete assembly is tested to hold, measured in pounds per square foot, positive and negative. The required DP for your house depends on where you are, how tall the wall is, how exposed the site is and where the opening sits on the elevation. Corner openings and second floors usually need more. A window with a high DP in the brochure is meaningless if the anchors and the buck are not part of the same approval, which is why we specify the assembly and put the numbers on your proposal.
Which brands do you install?
ES Windows, the Miami company that is part of Tecnoglass, and CWS, made in Ocala and part of Pella. We are a direct dealer of both and install and service what we sell. Every product we quote carries a Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and the number goes on your proposal.
Will impact windows lower my insurance?
That is a question for your agent, and we will not answer it with a percentage. What your carrier does with the change depends on your policy, your roof and the rest of the structure, and any contractor who quotes you an exact number before the work is done is guessing. What we control is the documentation: when we finish you hold the closed permit and the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA number for every unit we installed. Take that file to your agent and let them tell you what it is worth on your policy.
How much do impact windows cost?
The price per opening moves with size, window type, glass package, frame material and finish, and with whether the existing opening needs structural work. A row of small single hungs and a wall of fixed picture units are not the same job. We do not publish a range we would then have to walk back, so we measure the house, spec each opening and give you one firm written number that includes product, permit, installation and cleanup. The estimate is free and there is no obligation.
Which areas do you serve?
Martin, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties, from our shop at 7830 Byron Dr Ste 4, West Palm Beach, FL 33404. Miami-Dade and Broward are inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone and Palm Beach and Martin are not, so the approvals and the specification change depending on which side of the line you are on. We handle both every week. See all service areas.
