Impact Windows Services serves Virginia, including the coastal areas of Virginia Beach, and the northern Virginia metros of Alexandria and Hampton. Virginia experiences a variety of weather, from coastal storms and hurricanes to inland severe thunderstorms, impacting window integrity throughout the year.
In Virginia, particularly in coastal regions like Virginia Beach and Hampton, the primary concern is protection from hurricane-force winds and large hail. Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your existing windows. We precisely measure each opening to ensure a custom fit for your new impact-resistant windows, a critical step for effective storm defense. We also note the current condition of your home's framing and any specific vulnerabilities.
Our professional installers remove your old windows and prepare the openings for the new impact windows. This involves ensuring the frame is secure and properly sealed to prevent water and air intrusion. The installation of impact windows includes securely anchoring them into the structure of your home, a vital step for their performance during severe weather. We then seal all edges and test the operation of the new windows. Virginia has specific building codes, and permitting requirements can vary by locality, especially in areas like Alexandria. We help you navigate these local regulations to ensure compliance.
