What are the requirements for replacement windows in Florida?
Florida building codes require that a home’s windows be impact-resistant. If you live less than a mile from the coast, your panes need to withstand wind speeds of at least 130 mph or more. If your home is further in-land, your windows must resist up to 140 mph wind speeds.
FAS Exteriors is a trusted leader in window replacement in the state of Florida. Call us today to speak with one of our specialists about window replacement.
Can a homeowner install their own windows in Florida?
The Florida Building Code requires building permits for replacing windows. Homeowners can pull their own permits, but the fees are often higher than permits issued to contractors.
Homeowners also need plans and engineering for permits of residential window replacement. Replacing windows without being able to rely on a licensed contractor’s expert knowledge may result in fines once an inspection is done.
FAS Exteriors recommends that you hire a licensed and insured residential window replacement contractor located in Florida.
What are the benefits of vinyl windows?
The most recent trend in residential window treatments, vinyl windows are made of plastic materials like PVC. Vinyl windows were first developed in the 1970s. Initially, vinyl windows were only manufactured in white and were created to compete against wooden windows.
These days, however, you can find vinyl windows in a wide variety of colors that suit your home interior and exterior. Affordability is the key reason behind the growing popularity of vinyl windows. Residential vinyl windows are known for energy efficiency, resistance to corrosion, and cost efficiency.
What are the benefits of aluminum windows?
If you’re looking for lightweight, durable, strong, and custom-shaped windows, aluminum windows are your go-to. They require minimal maintenance, but their cost is relatively higher than other options. With proper care, residential aluminum windows can have a lifespan of 40-50 years.
For Florida homeowners who are looking for options for replacement windows, aluminum windows are also known to be the best choice for the safety and security of your home. Aluminum residential windows are also available in a wide variety of finishes, colors, and sizes to fit your custom residential window replacement needs.

What do I need to do to prepare my house for window replacement?
The FAS Exteriors team has been replacing windows for Florida homeowners since 2005. Here’s what we recommend
How long does it take to install new windows?
The time it takes to install new windows depends on your home and the number of residential windows that are being replaced. Typically, a full-frame replacement window as opposed to an insert window replacement on a ground level takes 4-6 hours. Upper-story windows take longer.
This is why we recommend asking your FAS Exteriors representative about specific window project details ahead of the scheduled time when our installation team will arrive at your residence.
Do replacement residential windows add home value?
While replacing your home’s windows is a costly project, it can pay off by adding value to your home.
According to Remodeling’s 2023 Cost vs. Value report, replacing vinyl windows adds an average of $13,766 in value to a home. And replacing aluminum residential windows adds an average of $15,823 in value to a home.
Not only will you see an immediate value-add, but you’ll also gain energy efficiency when you replace your home’s current windows.
What type of window is best in Florida?
Florida is known for having devastating hurricane seasons that result in severe home damage. That’s why our team always recommends that homeowners buy impact glass windows.
Impact windows help to better secure your home because they’re nearly impenetrable to hurricane-force winds and wind-borne debris, especially for homes located in high-velocity hurricane zones (HVHZ).
Is there a sales tax on replacement windows in Florida?
On May 6, 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Home Hardening Tax Exemption relief bill. For the first time ever, it will make impact-resistant windows, doors, and garage doors, tax-free. Call us today to speak with one of our specialists about your tax exemption option.
Should I replace all of my residential windows at once?
If your windows are nearing the end of their lifespan, around 20 years for most windows, a whole-house window replacement is probably the best choice. FAS Exteriors is the trusted leader of window replacement services in the state of Florida. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded; few window companies near or far can claim the same.
What to expect when I get my residential windows replace?

We’ve been in business since 2005, which means that we’ve dealt with and successfully circumvented many roadblocks that homeowners typically face.
