The Physics

Your Windows Are Only as Strong as Your Weakest Opening

Most homeowners who install impact windows but leave their old doors are protecting 80% of the envelope and leaving 20% open. Here's why that's a problem.

When a hurricane wraps around your home, wind exerts massive pressure on every opening. Impact windows hold up because they're designed to. But if your front door, sliding glass, or french doors are standard residential — not hurricane-rated — they become the weakest link.

Once a single opening fails (door blown open, glass breached), the air pressure inside your home spikes. That pressure differential is what pushes roofs off houses. It's not the wind hitting the roof from above — it's the pressure pushing up from inside.

Impact-rated doors close that loophole. Same NOA approval as your windows. Same anchoring code. Same protection. The whole envelope holds together as designed.

Impact-rated front door
Withstands wind speeds up to 175 mph (Cat 5)
Standard residential front door
Fails at sustained winds of 80–110 mph (Cat 1–2)
Bottom line

If you've already done your windows, finish the envelope with impact doors. If you're starting fresh, do them together — bundle pricing makes it 10–15% cheaper than separate projects, and the install crew is on-site once instead of twice.

Whole-Home Projects

Bundle Doors + Windows, Save 10–15%

A coordinated whole-home install costs less than two separate projects — for you and for us. Here's what the bundle gets you.

10–15% Bundle Discount

Bundling doors with windows on a single quote unlocks 10–15% off the combined total. The math works out for both sides — one permit run, one install schedule, one inspection cycle.

One Install, Not Two

Whole-home install typically completes in 2–4 days. Doors and windows go in together, with one final inspection. No 'we'll come back next month for the doors' delays.

Complete Envelope Protection

All openings on the same NOA-approved spec. Same warranty terms. Same install crew. The whole storm envelope finished as a single coordinated project — no weak links.

Bigger Insurance Savings

Wind mitigation discounts apply to your entire home's storm protection — full envelope (windows + doors) typically unlocks the maximum 30–40% windstorm premium discount, vs. 10–20% for windows alone.

How It Works

From Door Quote to Installed

A simple, transparent process. Most door installs complete 4–8 weeks from quote.

Step 01

Free Quote Request

60-second form or call

Submit the form or give us a call. We'll ask about your door situation — entry, sliding, french, or all of the above — and schedule an in-home estimate.

Step 02

In-Home Measurement

Door + opening assessment

A licensed estimator measures your door openings, assesses the surrounding frame and structure, and quotes the right product. Doors often require structural prep — we'll catch that at quote time, not surprise you mid-install.

Step 03

Professional Installation

Permits, install, finish work

We pull permits, handle structural prep if needed, and install. Door installs are typically 1 day per door for entry/french, 1–2 days for sliding glass. All trim and finish work included.

Step 04

Lifetime Support

We stand behind the install

Final inspection, wind mitigation certificate, and lifetime workmanship warranty. If a hinge, handle, or seal needs attention years later — one call, we come back.
