What Installation Really Means

Structural Work, Done to the Approval

Installing an impact window is not a drop-in swap. The old unit comes out to the rough opening, and the new one is anchored into your wall exactly the way its Miami-Dade NOA requires: specific anchors, embedment depth, and spacing for your substrate. That anchoring is what keeps the assembly in the opening under hurricane wind pressure.

That anchoring is what keeps the window in the wall — not just in the frame — when a hurricane is pushing on it. Get the product right and the anchoring wrong, and you have a window that fails inspection or fails in a storm. We confirm whether your walls are concrete, block, or wood framing before we order, install to that approval, and the county inspects the result.

On block or CBS construction, the anchors don't go into the wall itself. They go into the buck, the wood or PT lumber strip fastened around the rough opening that the frame actually screws to. A buck that's undersized, waterlogged from years of poor flashing, or already chewed up by a prior installer's anchor pattern won't hold the spacing your NOA calls for, no matter how good the window is. We check buck condition on every opening before we order, and if a buck needs to be rebuilt or re-anchored, we tell you and price it before manufacturing starts, not after custom units show up sized for an opening that isn't ready.

Once the unit passes, we restore the stucco, trim, and interior finish so the opening looks like it was always there.

Step by Step

How Installation Runs

  1. Measure & confirm substrate

    We measure every opening, confirm concrete, block, or wood framing, and check buck condition, so we order units with the right approval and anchors.

  2. Estimate & product selection

    A line-item estimate naming the product line and NOA for each opening, no vague allowances.

  3. Permit & manufacture

    Permit filed with approval numbers; your custom units go into production — this is the step that takes the longest, so it's also the one to start earliest.

  4. Remove & set

    Old windows out, new units set and anchored to NOA spec, sealed and flashed against water intrusion.

  5. Restore

    Stucco, trim, and interior finish restored around each opening.

  6. Inspect & document

    County inspection, then a closeout package with approvals, photos, and your NOA paperwork.

We text you within minutes (8am–8pm) and call you back the same business day. Custom units take 6–10 weeks to build, so the sooner you're in queue, the sooner you're covered.

What Drives the Price

Cost Factors for Impact Window Installation

Price scales with opening count, size, and product line, plus site conditions we won't know until we measure: buck condition, whether stucco needs more than a patch, and whether you phase the work or do it all at once. Phasing costs more per opening because of repeat mobilization, but spreads the investment across smaller phases. Every estimate is line-item by opening so you see exactly what's driving the number, not a single lump allowance.

What we won't do

We won't install over a rotted or out-of-square opening without addressing it, won't substitute a different product than the one named on your permit, won't skip the permit to "save time," and won't leave an opening half-finished — once we open a wall, it gets closed, sealed, and inspected before we call the job done. Every one of those shortcuts shows up later: at inspection, at resale, or in a storm. If an opening needs framing repair before the window goes in, we tell you and price it.

Common Questions

Installation FAQ

What's involved in installing impact windows?+
Full removal of the old window down to the rough opening, then the new unit is set, anchored to the exact NOA specification for your substrate, sealed, and flashed against water intrusion. After the unit passes inspection we restore the stucco, trim, and interior finish around the opening. It is structural work tied into your wall — not a drop-in swap — which is why anchoring and inspection are the parts that matter most.
How long does installation take?+
Expect roughly 6 to 10 weeks total from signed contract to final inspection. The on-site work itself — crew in your home — runs a few days to about a week depending on how many openings you have; the rest of that timeline is manufacturing, since custom-sized, NOA-approved units take weeks to build. We'll tell you up front where your specific job falls in that range.
Will my walls be damaged?+
Some disturbance around each opening is unavoidable — removing an old window means cutting back stucco and trim. The difference is in the restoration: we patch and finish the stucco and trim around every opening so the result looks original, not like a repair. We protect floors and furnishings and clean up daily.
Can you do it room by room instead of all at once?+
Yes. Many homeowners phase the work — protecting the most exposed or worst-condition openings first and doing the rest later. Phasing costs more per opening than doing it all at once, because each visit carries its own mobilization cost — but it lets you spread a large project across smaller, budgeted phases instead of one lump sum. We'll show you both numbers side by side in your estimate so you can decide with real figures.
Do you anchor into the right substrate?+
Get the substrate wrong and everything downstream — the anchor pattern, the embedment, the inspection — is wrong with it. Each NOA specifies different anchors and embedment for concrete, block, or wood framing. We confirm what your walls actually are before we order, and install to that approval. Wrong anchors into the wrong substrate is the single most common way a 'compliant' window fails inspection — or fails in a storm.
Do you handle permitting?+
Yes — Miami-Dade County requires a permit for impact window installation on every opening. We pull the permit, put the product approval numbers on the application, and schedule the county inspection. You end up with permitted, inspected openings and the documentation to prove it for insurance and resale.
