Straight Answer
Impact glass usually pays part of itself back through your insurance.
Rated windows and doors mean you stop putting up shutters, your house stays quieter and cooler, and most carriers credit you for the wind mitigation. Ask us for the form when the job is done.
Doing a re-roof? Do the windows at the same time. One permit, one crew, one bill, and the openings only get disturbed once.

Common Questions
Impact Windows & Doors questions, answered.
Do impact windows actually lower my insurance?+
Usually, yes. Impact-rated windows and doors qualify for wind-mitigation credits with most Florida carriers. When the job is done we give you the wind-mitigation documentation to hand your insurer so you can claim it.
Impact windows or hurricane shutters?+
Impact glass protects the opening all the time with nothing to put up, keeps the house quieter and cooler, and usually earns the bigger insurance credit. Shutters cost less up front but you have to deploy them before every storm.
Do impact windows need a permit and an NOA?+
Yes. Impact windows and doors are permitted and inspected, and the products must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) for the HVHZ. We handle the permit and only install NOA-compliant products.
How much do impact windows cost?+
It depends on the number of openings, the sizes, and whether it is a full-frame or retrofit install, so we measure first. We put the product, glass type, NOA, and price in writing before anything is ordered.
How long does installation take?+
Once the units arrive, most homes are installed in a few days. The longer part is the manufacturing lead time on the units, which we schedule around so install happens when they actually land.
Is there a grant for impact windows in Florida?+
Yes — the My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants (commonly up to $10,000) toward wind-mitigation upgrades like impact windows and doors on eligible homesteaded homes. It requires a free wind-mitigation inspection first and approval before work starts, and funding runs out fast. We can point you to the current application.
Do I have to replace ALL my windows to get the insurance discount?+
Generally yes. Insurers grant the wind-mitigation credit for full opening protection — every window and exterior door rated or protected. A partial job usually will not qualify, so we plan the whole envelope and give you the documentation for your carrier.
Impact windows or hurricane shutters — which is better?+
Impact glass protects the opening all the time with nothing to put up, keeps the house quieter and cooler, and usually earns the larger insurance credit. Shutters cost less up front but you have to deploy them before every storm. For most homeowners staying put, impact wins over a few years.
