AfterTrusted Impact Windows for Miami Homeowners
Impact windows in Miami are not an upgrade. They are the difference between a house that rides out a hurricane and one that gets opened up by a Category 3. We’ve been setting impact-rated glass in Miami homes since before the 2008 building code changes made them mandatory for new construction, and we know exactly what a window has to survive down here. A direct hit from a two-by-four at 50 miles per hour. Wind-driven rain for six straight hours. Salt air that eats cheap frames in five years. That’s the standard we build to. A live person answers at home office every hour of every day at (561) 956-2754, and we have been doing this work for over 42 years through The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
What Our Impact Windows Service Includes
Impact Window Installation
New impact windows in Miami are not a one-size-fits-all product. The wind load requirements change depending on whether your house sits in a coastal exposure zone or inland, and the opening measurements determine what frame depth you need. We install impact-rated windows built for Miami-Dade County product approval, and we register the manufacturer warranty with the glass maker and the frame maker separately. Both layers, in writing, before the job closes. That is what The Keystone Standard means. Our installers are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before a window is ever ordered. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Impact Window Replacement
Most Miami homes built before 2002 have windows that would not pass today’s code. The glass is single-pane, the frames have pulled away from the masonry, and the seals have failed to the point where you can feel drafts standing next to the sill. We replace those windows with impact-rated units that carry real wind-load ratings, and we do it without tearing out your drywall or damaging the exterior stucco. The work typically takes one day for a standard three-bedroom home. Everything is quoted on paper, side by side, so you see exactly what each manufacturer line costs before you commit. No surprise line items on the bill, ever.
Impact Door Installation
A door is the most abused opening in a Miami house. It gets slammed, it gets salt spray, it gets a house full of groceries pushed through it every week. We install impact-rated entry doors, French doors, and single-hung doors that are engineered to take a windborne missile hit and still close and lock afterward. The same two-warranty registration applies. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 because he watched too many homeowners get stuck with a door that binds in July and a manufacturer who would not answer the phone. We answer the phone. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, a live person picks up.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
A sliding glass door that faces Biscayne Bay is doing serious work every single afternoon. Sun, salt, and humidity work on the rollers, the tracks, and the weatherstripping constantly. Our impact-rated sliding doors are built with stainless steel hardware and laminated glass that holds together even if it shatters. We install them level, square, and true, because a sliding door that is even an eighth of an inch out of true will bind within a season. That’s the kind of thing that separates us from the average subcontractor. Impact windows in Miami need to be set with care, not just caulked and kicked.
Glass Railing Systems
We install frameless glass railing systems for balconies, terraces, and pool decks. These are not impact windows, but they share the same structural DNA: laminated glass, stainless hardware, and a tolerance for salt air that cheap powder-coated aluminum simply does not have. If you are replacing impact windows on a Miami waterfront property, you may want to look at the railings at the same time. We quote them together on the same line-item estimate, so you see exactly what you are paying for.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows
We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and CWS impact windows, and we have set hundreds of units from each of these manufacturers across Miami, Hialeah, and Miami Beach. PGT builds in North Venice, Florida, so their glass is engineered specifically for Florida’s wind zones. We know their product line inside and out, from the WinGuard series to the heavier commercial-rated stuff, and we register their warranty paperwork before we leave the driveway. CGI has been building impact windows for Miami since 1992, and their laminated glass holds up well to salt air when the frames are set correctly. CWS is a good mid-tier line for homeowners who want code compliance without paying for bells and whistles.
Whether you have PGT, CGI, CWS, ViewLux, or any other make already in your home, we can service it, replace it, or add to it. We stock OEM parts for the common lines and we can order anything else. If you bought a house in Coral Gables with impact windows already installed and you are not sure what you have, we can identify the brand, check the seals, and tell you whether the warranty is still in effect. That is what a Impact Windows in Hialeah homeowner gets when they call us: straight answers, not a sales pitch.
Signs You Need Impact Windows Right Now
- Your windows are original to a house built before 2002. Miami-Dade County began requiring impact glass or shutters on new construction in 2002. If your windows predate that code, they are almost certainly single-pane and not rated for any hurricane. One bad storm is all it takes.
- You can hear traffic with the windows closed. Impact glass is typically twice as thick as standard glass and laminated with a polymer interlayer. If you can hear cars on Kendall Drive from your living room, your windows are not doing the job they should.
- The seals are fogged or you can see moisture between the panes. A failed seal means the insulating gas has leaked out and moisture has gotten in. Once that happens, the window’s structural rating is compromised. Fogged glass is not just cosmetic. It’s a sign the window is done.
- You feel a draft next to the window on a windy afternoon. A properly installed impact window does not leak air. If your curtains move when the wind picks up off the bay, the frame has pulled away from the rough opening, and the window is not sealing.
- Your energy bill keeps climbing while your thermostat stays the same. Miami heat pushes through single-pane glass all day, every day. Impact windows have a low-E coating that blocks radiant heat. A homeowner in Cutler Bay who replaces old windows typically sees a real drop in cooling costs within the first summer.
Our Impact Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a live person. Not a phone tree, not a callback form. A person answers at (561) 956-2754 and asks a few questions about your house: how old, how many windows, what part of Miami, what direction they face. We schedule a time that works for you.
- 2
We come out and measure everything, twice. Every opening. Width, height, depth, square, plumb. If a rough opening is out of true, we note it and plan for it, because we are not going to force a rectangular window into a parallelogram and call it done. Dale Kessler’s whiteboard rule applies to every measurement we take.
- 3
You get a written line-item quote, side by side. We show you PGT next to CGI next to CWS, with prices for each line, so you can make a decision based on actual numbers, not a salesperson’s opinion. The quote is free, and the price on the quote is the price on the bill. 5% off for seniors and veterans, permanently.
- 4
Installation, usually in a single visit. Our crew arrives on time, in uniform, background-checked. We protect your floors, we remove the old windows carefully, and we set the new ones with shims, flashing, and sealant done right. Most standard homes are done in one day.
- 5
Warranty registration and the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Before we leave, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the documentation. If anything is not done right within 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print. We stand behind it.
How Much Does Impact Windows Cost in Miami?
What affects the price: the size of the opening, the wind-load rating required for your specific zone, whether you choose aluminum or vinyl frames, and whether the existing rough opening is square and sound. Older Miami homes sometimes have rotted wood framing around the windows, which adds carpentry time. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a line-item quote that separates materials from labor, so you can see exactly where your money goes. Our free estimates include all of this on paper. Call (561) 956-2754 and we’ll put a number on it. A square deal, in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows in Miami
What are impact windows?
Impact windows are windows built with laminated glass and reinforced frames that are tested to withstand windborne debris impacts and hurricane-force winds. In Miami, they are designed to meet Miami-Dade County product approval standards, which are the strictest in the country. The glass is two layers bonded with a polymer interlayer that holds the pane together even if it cracks.
How long does impact window installation take?
A standard three-bedroom Miami home with 10 to 12 windows is usually done in one day. Larger homes, or jobs that include sliding doors and entry doors, may take two to three days. We schedule a specific date and time, and we show up when we say we will. Most jobs are completed in a single visit.
How much do impact windows cost in Miami?
Most impact windows in Miami run $850 to $1,400 per window installed, depending on size and manufacturer. A full-house project typically falls between $9,000 and $16,000. Sliding doors and entry doors are priced separately. The best way to get an exact number is to call (561) 956-2754 for a free line-item estimate. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Do you service PGT impact windows?
Yes. We are an authorized PGT installer and we have set hundreds of PGT units across Miami, Hialeah, and Miami Beach. We register the PGT warranty in writing before we leave the driveway, and we can service existing PGT windows, including seal replacement and hardware repair. Call (561) 956-2754 and tell us what you have.
Can you replace impact windows in an emergency?
If a window has failed or been damaged and you need it boarded or replaced, call us any hour of the day or night. A live person answers at (561) 956-2754, 24/7. For storm preparation, we recommend scheduling your installation well before hurricane season begins in June. The lead time for custom impact windows in Miami can extend into weeks during peak season.
What warranty do I get on impact windows?
You get two warranty layers: the glass manufacturer’s warranty and the frame manufacturer’s warranty. We register both in writing before the job is complete, so there is no gap in coverage. On top of that, our 90-Day Done Right Promise says if anything is not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no paper chase. We stand behind it.
How should I prepare for impact window installation?
Move furniture at least three feet back from every window opening, take down curtains or blinds, and clear a path for our crew to bring in ladders and materials. If you have landscaping near the exterior side of the windows, trim it back enough for a ladder to sit flat. We protect your floors and we clean up after ourselves. You can call (561) 956-2754 ahead of time with any specific questions.
