Hurricane Protection That Pays for Itself
Protect your home, reduce insurance premiums, and improve energy efficiency with impact-rated windows and doors built for the Space Coast.
Our Approach
Living on the Space Coast means hurricane season is part of life. Impact windows eliminate the scramble to put up shutters - they protect 24/7, 365 days a year. But protection is just the beginning. Modern impact windows reduce your energy bills, cut outside noise by up to 60%, block 99% of UV rays, and can reduce your homeowners insurance premium by up to 45%.
We install impact windows and doors from leading Florida manufacturers including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. Every installation meets or exceeds Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade hurricane testing standards - the toughest in the nation.

Hurricane shutters cost less upfront but require manual installation before each storm, block light and visibility when deployed, and do not provide energy or noise benefits.
