Florida: impact windows
Hurricane (impact) windows cost $400–$1,200 each installed, or $6,000–$24,000 for an average house (HomeGuide). They're built to withstand Category 5 storms and are a standard consideration in coastal Florida — and unlike storm windows ($150–$400 each, fitted over existing windows), impact windows actually protect against flying debris. In Florida they're also an insurance conversation: verified opening protection is one of the features a wind mitigation inspection documents for premium credits.
What drives the price
- Type and size. Picture windows are cheapest ($300–$1,300 installed); bay windows run $2,000–$6,000 and bow windows $3,000–$8,000+.
- Full-frame vs. pocket replacement. Fitting a new window inside a sound existing frame is cheaper than a full-frame job with new frame and trim.
- Access. Second-storey and obstructed windows carry higher labour.
- The unit/labour split. The window itself is 65–75% of the installed cost; labour is the other 25–35%.
