Yes. Every window replacement project includes two types of warranty coverage: a manufacturer warranty covering defects in the window frame, glass, hardware, and seals (typically 10 years to lifetime depending on product), and a workmanship warranty covering our installation labor, flashing, sealing, and water management work. We provide written warranty documentation at project completion. If you experience issues like seal failure, foggy glass, hardware malfunction, or water intrusion related to installation, contact us and we’ll address it under warranty.

We install impact windows and hurricane windows that are tested and certified to resist windborne debris, cyclic pressure changes, and water penetration during hurricanes. Our impact-rated windows feature laminated glass with a PVB or SGP interlayer that holds together when struck, meeting Florida Product Approval standards, Miami-Dade NOA certification (the strictest in Florida), and ASTM E1996 large missile impact testing requirements. Impact windows are rated by design pressure (DP), which measures resistance to wind load and pressure differentials—higher DP ratings indicate stronger performance. While no window is completely “hurricane-proof,” properly installed impact windows eliminate the need for plywood or shutters and provide year-round benefits including noise reduction, UV protection, security, and potential homeowners insurance discounts.

To prepare for window replacement, clear the area around each window inside and outside your home: move furniture, curtains, blinds, and wall décor at least 3–4 feet from windows to give installers room to work. Remove fragile items from windowsills and nearby shelves. If you have security sensors on your windows, note which ones need reconnection after installation. For exterior preparation, trim back any bushes or plants directly against the windows and ensure installers have access to all sides of your home. Our crew covers floors and furniture with protective drop cloths, but removing valuables and breakables in advance prevents accidents.

Window replacement (also called retrofit or insert installation) involves removing your existing window sash and frame while leaving the original window frame or structural opening intact—ideal for upgrading windows in existing Tampa homes without disturbing interior trim, exterior stucco, or siding. Full-frame window replacement removes everything down to the rough opening and installs a complete new window unit with new framing, flashing, and sill pan—necessary when the existing frame is rotted, damaged, or improperly sized. New construction window installation refers to installing windows in newly built walls with no existing window frame, typically during home construction or room additions. Our contractors assess your existing windows and recommend insert replacement or full-frame replacement based on the condition of your frames and whether you need to upgrade to impact-rated windows.

Yes. Full cleanup and haul-away of old windows, glass, frames, and debris is included in every window replacement project. Our installers remove all packaging materials, dispose of your old windows responsibly, vacuum or sweep interior work areas, and leave your home as clean as we found it. We do not leave dumpsters, debris piles, or old windows on your property.

Yes. Window replacement in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, and Pasco County requires a building permit to verify the installation meets Florida Building Code requirements for wind load resistance, water penetration, structural attachment, and energy efficiency. Permit requirements are especially strict for impact window installation in Florida’s wind zones. We handle permit pulling before installation and schedule the required inspection after completion—you don’t need to visit the building department or coordinate with inspectors yourself. Permit approval documentation is important for homeowners insurance verification and resa

Impact windows and hurricane shutters both protect against windborne debris during hurricanes, but they work differently. Hurricane shutters (panels, accordions, roll-downs) are installed over standard windows before a storm and removed afterward—they require storage, manual installation each hurricane season, and don’t provide benefits when not deployed. Impact windows are permanent replacement windows with laminated glass that stays in place year-round, providing 24/7 protection against storms, break-ins, noise, and UV rays without any action required before a hurricane. Impact windows typically cost more upfront than shutters but eliminate ongoing hassle, improve energy efficiency, may qualify for homeowners insurance discounts, and increase home resale value.
