Question 1

How much do impact windows cost in Miami?

Accepted Answer

Most homes in South Florida fall between $15,000 and $28,000 for a full window and door replacement, depending on size, layout, and product selection. Here's a more realistic breakdown based on a typical 12–15 opening home: Good (ECO Windows): ~$14,000 – $16,000, Better (Mr Glass): ~$17,000 – $20,000, Premium (ES Windows): ~$22,000 – $28,000. This includes both windows and doors, which are a major factor in total cost. We provide multiple options so you can choose what fits your budget — no pressure, no in-home sales appointments. Every home is different — your exact price depends on sizes, design pressure requirements, and installation complexity. That's why we built a photo-based quote system.

Question 2

What affects the cost of impact windows?

Accepted Answer

Five main factors determine cost: (1) Window size and shape — larger openings and custom shapes (arches, angles) increase cost, (2) Product tier — ECO (Good), Mr Glass (Better), and ES Windows (Premium) each vary in design, performance, and price, (3) Number of openings — larger projects typically reduce the cost per opening, (4) Installation complexity — second-story work, limited access, or structural modifications can increase labor, and (5) Glass type and upgrades — options like Low-E coatings, tint, and higher-performance laminated glass can increase cost depending on the system selected.

Question 3

How much does it cost to replace sliding glass doors with impact doors?

Accepted Answer

For a standard 72" x 80" sliding glass door, here's what most homeowners can expect: Good (ECO): around $2,500 installed, Better (Mr Glass): around $2,800 installed, Premium (ES Windows): around $3,100 installed. Larger openings (8ft–10ft wide) will increase the cost depending on configuration and structural requirements. Entry doors typically range from $2,000 to $4,000 installed, depending on design and material. These are typical prices for standard sizes — final pricing may vary based on layout, access, and installation conditions.

Question 4

How long does impact window installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential impact window installations take 1–3 days, depending on the number of openings. A typical 12-window project takes 2 days. Full-house replacements (20+ windows) may take 3–4 days. Installation scheduling depends on permit approval and product manufacturing lead times, which vary by product tier (Good: ~4 weeks, Better: ~6–8 weeks, Premium: ~6–10 weeks).

Question 5

How long is the permit process in South Florida?

Accepted Answer

Permit timelines vary depending on the municipality. In some areas, permits can be approved in as little as 3–5 business days, while others may take 2–4 weeks depending on review times and requirements. Some municipalities offer expedited review windows, while others follow standard review timelines. We handle the entire permitting process, including application, documentation, and coordination with the local building department. Final inspections are scheduled after installation and are typically completed within a few days to a week, depending on the city's availability.

Question 6

How long does manufacturing take?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturing timelines vary depending on the product you select: Good (ECO Windows): ~4 weeks (locally manufactured), Better (Mr. Glass): ~6–8 weeks (locally manufactured), Premium (ES Windows): ~6–10 weeks (may vary due to port and material delays). Custom sizes or specialty shapes may increase these timelines. We only place orders after permits are approved to ensure everything meets current building code requirements. Manufacturing timelines can vary slightly depending on demand and material availability.

Question 7

Do I need a permit for impact windows in South Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all impact window and door installations in South Florida require a building permit in accordance with the Florida Building Code. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including plan preparation, document packaging, and submission to the city. Our permit processing fee is $500, which covers: preparation of required plans, complete permit package assembly, submission to the building department, and HOA coordination and document submission (if applicable). City permit fees are not included and typically range from $150 to $1,000+, depending on the size and scope of the project. Some projects may also require signed and sealed engineering plans (additional cost) or engineering letters for items such as concealed bucks and fasteners (additional cost). If your property has an HOA, approval is often required before we can proceed with permitting or ordering materials. We handle this process by submitting all required documentation, including contractor license and insurance, scope of work, and product approvals and supporting documents. Permit timelines vary depending on the municipality. We coordinate everything so you don't have to deal with the city or your HOA.

Question 8

What is required for permit approval?

Accepted Answer

Permit requirements vary depending on the municipality, but most projects require a combination of the following: completed permit application, product approvals (NOAs) confirming compliance with Florida Building Code / HVHZ, floor plans indicating window and door locations, window and door schedule, HOA approval and/or HOA attestations (if applicable), wind load calculations (required for certain projects), property records (such as warranty deed or property appraiser information), business documentation if the property is owned by an LLC (Sunbiz registration), and payment of city permit fees. We prepare and submit all required documentation and coordinate directly with the building department to move the process forward. Additional documents may be requested by the city depending on the scope of work.
