What affects the price

When you look at the price of impact windows, several factors shift the final number. The size and quantity of your window openings are the biggest drivers, as is the specific style—like single-hung, casement, or sliding doors. You will also see price differences based on the type of glass coating you choose for energy efficiency and the thickness of the aluminum or vinyl frames. Added hardware features or custom finishes can also adjust the bottom line. Homeowners typically see projects start in the mid-range of a few thousand dollars, but exact pricing is confirmed free on the call.

About this service

The price for hurricane-rated glass is driven by the level of wind resistance needed for your specific region and the energy efficiency ratings you select. Larger windows or those requiring structural reinforcement will naturally be more expensive to install than smaller, standard units.

Summer heat makes the energy-efficient benefits of impact windows immediately noticeable. High-quality glass reduces heat gain, which helps your air conditioning run more efficiently during the hottest months. While summer is a busy time for installations, getting your project on the books means you can stop fighting the heat and keep your home cool and quiet.
