What affects the price
When you look at the price of impact windows, the biggest factor is usually the size and type of your window openings. Custom shapes, specific frame materials like aluminum or vinyl, and the thickness of the laminated glass will shift the total significantly. You also have to consider the installation process; replacing a window in a high-rise condo is much different than a ground-floor home. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Summer heat makes the energy efficiency of impact windows very noticeable. Old, leaky windows often let the cool air from your AC escape, driving up your utility bills. New impact glass helps hold that cool air inside, keeping your living space comfortable even when the sun is at its strongest.
