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

Installing impact windows involves removing your existing glass, checking the frame integrity, and securing the new impact-rated units to meet local building codes. You might pay more if your home requires custom shapes or high-performance coatings for energy efficiency. Since labor time is a major component, the final invoice depends on the total number of openings. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

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.

What is an impact window?

An impact window is a window constructed with a robust frame and laminated glass that can resist high winds and projectile impacts.

What are the drawbacks of impact windows?

Impact windows typically have a higher upfront cost than standard windows, which is a primary consideration. Some models may also have a slight tint that can subtly affect the amount of natural light entering your home. However, the superior protection and durability they offer are significant advantages for D.C. residents.

What is the highest rated impact window?

The 'highest rated' impact window is determined by its performance in stringent testing for wind resistance and debris impact.
