Window types

Every window type
we make impact-rated.

Nine types, all available in aluminium or vinyl with laminated impact glass. Find the one you already have, then see what it costs to replace it with a rated version.

What we install

Pick the one you have now. Every type below comes in aluminium or vinyl, with clear or tinted laminated glass, and every one carries a Miami-Dade NOA.

Single Hung

The default window on most Southwest Florida homes. The bottom sash slides up, the top stays fixed. Cheapest to replace like-for-like and the fastest to install.

Double Hung

Both sashes move and tilt inward, so second-storey windows get cleaned from inside the house. Worth it upstairs, rarely worth it on the ground floor.

Horizontal Roller

Slides sideways instead of up. The right answer over kitchen counters and sinks, and for wide openings where a tall sash would be awkward to reach.

Casement

Cranks outward and pulls tight against the frame, which makes it the best-sealing window of the group and the best at catching a cross breeze off the water.

Awning

Hinged at the top so it stays open through a rain shower. Usually over patios and in bathrooms, or set high on a wall where you want light without sightlines.

Picture & Fixed

No moving parts, so the largest spans and the lowest cost per square foot of glass. Usually paired with an operable unit either side so the room still breathes.

Bay & Bow

Projects out from the wall to add floor area and light. The header needs engineering to carry the load, which we handle as part of the permit package.

Specialty Shapes

Arches, round-tops, octagons and transoms, built to the opening you already have so the stucco never has to be cut back and re-finished.

Frames & Glass

Aluminium or vinyl, clear or tinted laminated glass, and what each combination costs up front against what it costs to run on your power bill.

How it works

Our impact window process
in Bonita Springs.

Free measure

We walk the house, measure every opening, and tell you what the code actually requires for your address. No obligation and no pressure.

Pick & permit

You choose type, frame and glass. We draw it, submit it, and pull the permit with Lee or Collier. Including engineering when an opening needs it.

Impact window install

Our own crew, usually one elevation a day. Old units hauled off, stucco patched, and the site swept before we leave each evening.

Inspection & paperwork

We meet the inspector at final, then hand you the NOA sheets and the closed permit for your records.

Credentials

Why us for impact windows.

Anybody can quote impact windows. These are the four things you can go and check on us yourself, before you sign anything.

Go and look at the windows

Ask us for addresses near you and we will give you them. Twenty years in three counties means there is almost certainly a house we glazed within a few miles of yours. Stand on the street and look at the sightlines, the frame colour and the stucco line around the opening, which is where a rushed install shows first.

You can come to the shop

One address in Bonita Springs, and it has not moved since 2005. Come and put your hands on a laminated unit before you buy one. An impact window is a twenty-year purchase and it is worth twenty minutes to see the frame and the glass edge in person rather than in a brochure.

The approval numbers go on your quote

Every window carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval rated at or above what your address’s wind zone requires, and the specific numbers for your openings are printed on the quote. Most impact window quotes just say “impact rated” and leave it there, which tells you nothing about what you are actually getting.

There is exactly one company to call

The person who measures your openings is on our payroll, and so is the person who fits them. That matters more on windows than on almost anything else we do: a rated unit installed to the wrong fixing schedule is no longer a rated unit, and there is nobody to argue with about it later.

What we do

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to your impact window questions. No contractor games or hidden fluff, just the facts about how we protect your Florida home.

How does Sunshine State differ from other contractors?
