Hurricane Impact Windows for Tampa Homes
For homes across Tampa Bay, impact-resistant windows are both a code requirement and the most effective storm protection available. Hillsborough County’s wind-borne debris region requires windows that are engineered to withstand high winds and flying debris.
Inland Tampa homes generally need windows rated for roughly 140 mph while properties closer to the coast in Pinellas County may require higher ratings.
FAS Exteriors installs impact and hurricane windows tested to Florida Building Code standards. As an approved My Safe Florida Home contractor, we can also help eligible Tampa homeowners to apply the state wind-mitigation grant toward the cost.
Impact glass delivers benefits well beyond hurricane season, too; it reduces outside noise, blocks damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays, and improves day-to-day security against break-ins.
Our Window Installation Process
After your free consultation and exact measurements, your windows are custom-ordered to fit each opening. On installation day, our crew removes the old windows, installs the new units according to Florida Building Code specifications, seals and tests each one, cleans the work area inside and out, and walks the finished job with you.
Most ground-floor installations are completed in a single day.
Window Replacement Cost in Tampa
The cost of replacing windows in Tampa depends on the window type, frame material, size, and glass package. Standard vinyl windows cost at the lower end of the range while impact-rated and custom-shaped windows cost more.
Rather than guessing over the phone, a FAS Exteriors representative will measure every opening during your free in-home consultation and provide you with an exact, itemized quote.

Window Styles for Tampa Homes
We offer a wide range of window styles so you can match both your home’s architecture and how you want each room to function.
Double-Hung Windows—Both upper and lower sashes move independently for easy cleaning and ventilation control.
Casement Windows—Sleek, modern look with expansive glass and a tight seal.
Sliding Windows—One fixed and one sliding pane, ideal for contemporary homes.
Bay and Bow Windows—Multipanel designs that extend outward to add interior space and architectural interest.
Picture Windows—Large fixed panes for unobstructed views and abundant light.
Awning Windows—Hinged at the top to allow ventilation even during light rain.
Tampa’s older bungalows in Seminole Heights and Hyde Park often call for double-hung windows that preserve historic proportions while newer homes in Westchase and Riverview pair well with casement and sliding styles. Visit our Tampa showroom to compare them in person.
Energy-Efficient Windows that Lower Tampa Cooling Bills
We install ENERGY STAR-certified windows engineered for Florida’s heat. New windows with insulated glass and tight-sealing frames reduce the heat transfer that forces your air conditioning (AC) to work overtime, resulting in lower monthly cooling bills and a more comfortable home.
Modern vinyl and aluminum frames also resist the warping, moisture, and corrosion that Tampa’s humidity inflicts on older windows. We carry PGT and Simonton windows, both engineered specifically for Florida’s challenging climate.
