WHAT WINDOW REPLACEMENT MEANS HERE

Replacement windows that retire the storm shutters

Many South Florida homes still have their original windows: single-pane glass, tired aluminum frames and accordion or panel shutters that someone has to close before every storm. Window replacement swaps all of that for impact windows that protect the opening on their own.

Our crew removes the old window and installs an ES Windows impact unit sized to the opening, anchored and sealed the way its product approval requires. Miami-Dade and Broward sit in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every replacement is permitted: we pull the permit and schedule the final inspection, in Palm Beach County too.

WHY HOMEOWNERS REPLACE

What changes when the old windows come out

No more storm prepLaminated impact glass protects the opening on its own, so there are no shutters to haul out, close or store when a storm is coming.
A cooler houseLow-E glass options block much of the sun's heat and UV, so rooms stay cooler and the AC gets a break.
Quieter roomsLaminated glass cuts street and yard noise compared with thin single-pane windows.
Harder to break inLaminated glass holds together when it is struck, which makes an impact window much harder to get through than ordinary glass.

Replacement Windows for South Florida Homes

Windows age. Frames corrode, seals fail, glass clouds over and the style dates the house. In South Florida the bigger problem is the storm: older windows depend on shutters, and shutters only help if someone puts them up in time. Guardian Impact Windows & Roofing installs replacement windows made with laminated impact glass, so the window itself is the protection.

Whether you are replacing one tired slider or every window in the house, the job is the same at its core: measure each opening, choose the right impact window for it, permit the work and install it to the product approval.

Why South Florida homeowners replace their windows

  • Storm protection. Impact windows protect the opening without shutters. That matters most in Miami-Dade and Broward, where the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone has the strictest product-approval and installation rules in Florida.
  • Energy efficiency. Single-pane glass lets heat pour in. Low-E impact glass helps keep rooms cooler and the AC from running nonstop.
  • Updated style. Slim aluminum frames in five ES finishes, from Black to Bone White, can change the whole look of the house.
  • Security. Laminated glass holds together when it is struck, so it is much harder to break through.
  • Resale. Impact windows are a feature South Florida buyers ask about, and a closed permit documents the work.

Choosing the right replacement window

Start with how each room is used. Single hung windows suit most bedrooms and front elevations. Horizontal rollers fit wide, short openings. Casements open fully for airflow, and picture windows give the widest view where you do not need ventilation. Every style comes in laminated impact glass, with Low-E options for sun-facing walls, and in five frame colors: Black, Bermuda Bronze, Bone White, Arcadia Silver and Silver Storm.

Replacement window prices depend on the number and size of the openings, the styles and the glass you choose, so the in-home estimate is where you get a real number for your house.

Window replacement questions

How much does window replacement cost?

It depends on how many openings you have, their sizes, the style of each window, the glass and the frame color. At the free in-home estimate we measure every opening and give you a price for the whole job. Ask about 2.9% APR or 60 months no interest while the sale lasts.

Do replacement windows need a permit in South Florida?

Yes. Replacing windows in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties needs a building permit and an inspection. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and close it out for you.

Do I still need hurricane shutters after impact window replacement?

Impact windows are made to protect the opening on their own, so most homeowners stop putting up shutters before a storm. If you want the old shutters or tracks taken down, ask about it at your estimate.

Can I replace only some of my windows?

Yes, you can start with the openings that need it most. Keep in mind that insurance windstorm discounts for opening protection generally look at every glazed opening, doors included, so ask your insurance agent before you split the job.

How long does window replacement take?

Most of the calendar time is the permit approval and the factory making windows to your measurements. The installation itself is the short part, and we give you the schedule once your order is placed.

Will new windows lower my energy bill?

Old single-pane glass lets in a lot of heat. Low-E impact glass blocks much of the sun's heat and UV, which helps keep the house cooler and the AC from running as hard.

What should I look for in a window replacement contractor?

A Florida contractor's license, a permit pulled in the contractor's name, windows approved for your zone, and an installer who closes out the final inspection. Guardian is a Certified General Contractor (CGC1524314), pulls every permit and installs with its own crew.
