Florida’s Most Trusted Brands for Impact Windows, Doors and Roofing


Pahokee sits right on the bare eastern edge of Lake Okeechobee. That means storms can hit hard, there’s nothing much to slow them down as they brew over the water and sweep in. When hurricane season rolls around, the town takes the brunt: heavy winds, flying debris, driving rain. Places further east get a little more protection from barrier islands or thick city landscapes, but out here, it’s just Pahokee and the weather.
Palm Beach County has a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone tag under the Florida Building Code, so you have to use impact-resistant windows and doors that meet pretty tough standards. The trouble is, so many older homes here, those standard block and stucco builds with old aluminum windows, never met those requirements in the first place. Those original windows turn into weak spots as soon as a named storm approaches, and insurers know it. Try getting storm insurance with those windows and your premiums shoot up, or worse, you can’t get coverage at all.
But swap those old windows for ones that are impact-rated and insurance companies notice. You’ll actually see your premiums drop, thanks to wind mitigation credits. Throw in Pahokee’s relentless sun, the humidity that chews through window frames, and the energy waste from leaky single-pane glass, and the smart move is clear.
Honestly, down here, impact windows aren’t just about safety, they’re a smart investment.

Let’s be real, installing impact windows in Pahokee isn’t something you knock out in a weekend with a few friends and a YouTube tutorial. There’s a strict process in place, with permits, inspections, and lots of rules. Palm Beach County doesn’t mess around. They enforce the Florida Building Code, plus their own local amendments, which means every window replacement has to follow county-specific requirements from start to finish.
Here’s how it actually works: Before anyone touches a window, you need a building permit. That means submitting the window’s Notice of Acceptance (NOA), product approval documents, and installation drawings for review. The county checks these to make sure that your chosen window has been tested and officially approved for the wind loads and requirements at your specific address. No NOA, no permit, simple as that.

This homeowner on Bacom Point Road had been living with those old, original single-pane aluminum windows since the ’60s. After a tropical system nearly hit and left one of the frames bent out of shape, the owner didn’t want to risk another season. That’s when they gave us a call. We replaced all 14 openings with custom-sized, double-pane impact windows — each one built to fit those tricky, non-standard blocks you see in older homes around here. The county inspector signed off on the first visit. Even better, their insurance company gave them a wind mitigation credit right away, dropping their annual premium nearly 18%.
This waterfront property near Torry Island had sliding windows—a real relic—that didn’t meet today’s wind-borne debris codes. The owner flagged the problem mid-sale, which can get messy fast. We focused on replacing eight non-compliant windows with properly rated impact sliders. Timing mattered, so we wrapped the job quickly and didn’t hold up closing. The buyer’s inspector had no complaints — every opening hit full FBC compliance, the permit closed without a hitch, and the sale went off on schedule.
After a nasty thunderstorm, wind-driven debris smashed two west-facing windows in this stucco home. The rest of the windows were still originals—nowhere near big enough for current code. We got there fast for emergency replacements, then decided to upgrade four more windows on the west and south sides—those take the brunt of the storms anyway. We matched everything to the house’s finish so nothing stuck out. The main result? The homeowner closed up their most vulnerable sides for good. And the following summer, energy bills fell because the new low-E glass cut down on all that afternoon heat pounding in from the west.

Impact windows are specially constructed windows designed to withstand hurricane-force winds and wind-borne debris without shattering. They consist of two glass panes bonded by a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer that holds the glass together on impact. Standard windows break on debris strike and create dangerous openings that allow storm pressure to enter and damage the home’s structure. Impact windows maintain their seal even after impact, keeping the home’s envelope intact throughout the storm.
Impact windows and hurricane windows refer to the same product. Both terms describe windows tested and rated to withstand hurricane-force wind pressure and wind-borne debris. The critical distinction is certification level — not all products labeled “hurricane windows” meet Florida Building Code requirements. In Palm Beach County, compliant windows must pass large-missile impact testing and cyclic pressure testing under Florida’s product approval system. Always verify that a window carries a valid Florida Product Approval number before purchase or installation.
Windows installed in Palm Beach County must meet the large-missile impact standard — surviving a 9-pound 2×4 projectile at design wind speed — and pass cyclic pressure testing that simulates sustained storm loading. Palm Beach County falls within Florida’s wind-borne debris region, making these requirements mandatory for all replacement window installations. Every compliant product carries a Florida Product Approval number confirming it meets the specific wind speed and pressure requirements for this county.
Yes. Properly installed, code-compliant impact windows fully replace hurricane shutters as opening protection. Homeowners no longer need to store, install, or close shutters before a storm. To satisfy insurance requirements, the installation must be permitted, inspected, and closed by Palm Beach County — unpermitted or partial installations will not qualify for wind mitigation credits. Once fully installed and documented, impact windows meet the same opening protection standard previously covered by shutters.
Impact windows installed in Palm Beach County are tested to withstand design wind pressures equivalent to 130 to 160+ mph wind speeds, depending on the property’s specific location, height, and terrain exposure. Beyond wind speed, the laminated glass system is engineered to remain in the frame after debris impact — preventing the sudden internal pressure surge that causes structural roof failures. The window’s performance depends entirely on correct installation to manufacturer specifications, which is verified through the county inspection process.
