When budgeting for storm protection, consider the labor involved in removing old frames and sealing new ones to code. Custom sizes or specialized tinting will also change the final cost compared to off-the-shelf options.

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.
