Homeowners who upgrade to impact windows make a wise decision that can greatly boost their home’s safety. These windows are especially designed for regions like Florida, which are highly prone to hurricanes and storms. They can withstand hurricane-force winds and flying projectiles, offering comprehensive protection to your home and loved ones. If you are considering getting impact windows installed, here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect when upgrading to impact windows.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The expert team at Windpact Windows and Doors visits your home for an on-site consultation. Our experienced specialists take accurate measurements of the place where your windows need to be installed, measure the openings and assess your needs. Noting these details ensures that the new installations fit and function properly.
Step 2: Product Selection and Quote
After the consultation, we explain the various impact window options we offer and their benefits. In case you need assistance in choosing which windows would be the most suitable for your home, we even offer professional recommendations tailored to your home’s specific needs. Based on the window style you choose, we provide you with a detailed quote.
Step 3: Securing Permits
Impact windows must meet local building codes, so before starting the installation process, we get the necessary permits on your behalf. Although this process can take a little time, you won’t have to worry about it at all as our team will take care of everything from securing the permits to the final installation.
Step 4: Preparing for Installation
Before starting the installation process, we ask you to remove any blinds, curtains, or shutters from the windows that are going to be replaced. It’s best to remove any furniture and valuable items from these areas as well. We use drop cloths and plastic sheets to cover areas and keep them free from dust and debris. Doing this keeps your home clean and gives us space to work as well.
Step 5: Professional Installation
Our trained team starts by removing your existing windows carefully. Once the old windows are removed, we inspect the exposed frames for any signs of structural weakness. If any repairs are required, we take care of them at this stage to ensure your new impact windows have a secure foundation. We carefully align each window, securely anchor it and apply proper sealing and insulation to protect against air and water leaks. This ensures proper storm protection and also improves energy efficiency and noise reduction.
Step 6: Final Inspection
After all windows have been installed, we demonstrate how to open, close and maintain your new windows. We inspect your windows with you one final time to ensure you are completely satisfied with the work we have done.
