Install New Windows (Impact and/or Non-Impact)

Hurricane impact window installation is one of the cleanest permanent hurricane protection upgrades on the market — once installed, impact-rated windows require zero action when a storm approaches. No panels to drag from the attic, no plywood to cut at the home center, no shutters to deploy at 2 a.m. Beyond storm protection, hurricane impact windows can cut energy bills, reduce outside noise, and qualify for a wind-mitigation insurance premium discount once a wind-mit inspection documents the install on the OIR-B1-1802 form.

Posting on Hurricane Handyman is straightforward. Upload photos of every opening, describe the windows you want (or that you've already purchased), and answer four short intake questions — window type (impact aluminum, impact vinyl, non-impact aluminum, non-impact vinyl, wood, or other), whether you require a licensed contractor, whether a permit is required, and whether to bundle annual service.

Local installers see the post and submit competing fixed-price quotes. You compare profiles, license credentials, and bids on the platform and pick the pro whose price and timeline fit. HVHZ counties (Miami-Dade, Broward, parts of Palm Beach) require licensed installation and pulled permits — confirm these credentials directly with the handyman before hiring.

Your payment is held in escrow through Stripe until the work is done, including (if applicable) permit close-out.

Before hiring, message handymen directly. Ask about prior impact-window installs of the same brand and style, their HVHZ license number if you're in a HVHZ county, whether they pull permits as part of their bid, what brands they typically work with (PGT, CGI, ESWindows, Pella, Andersen, Marvin), whether they coordinate the wind-mitigation inspection, and whether they have experience with My Safe Florida Home grant paperwork.

This service runs the entire hurricane belt — every coastal Florida county, the Texas Gulf Coast, Louisiana, Alabama, the Carolinas, the Georgia coast, and the Caribbean. Post your install job and start collecting bids.
