What we do besides selling windows

Most of the work on an impact job is not the installation. It is the paperwork around it.

The window is the easy part.

  • A building department that will not accept an incomplete application
  • An association that decides what the building looks like from the street
  • An architect who wants the anchoring resolved before the system is chosen

A unit is measured, priced and ordered in an afternoon. Getting the three of them to agree is what takes the weeks, and it is the part of the job nobody selling you a window wants to talk about.

It is not an add-on to the sale and it is not a line on the quote. It is the part of the sale that is actually difficult, and the price we give you already has it in it.

Products and services

What we supply

Two kinds of buyer, four product lines, and the paperwork that has to happen around all of them.

  • Windows, doors and garage doors for your home, with the permit filed and closed around the order.

  • Storefront, window wall and mid-rise glazing, where the approvals and the anchoring are reviewed together.

Permits and approvals

The part of an impact job that has nothing to do with glass. We file it, follow it and close it, and the Certificate of Completion goes to you — not into a filing cabinet.

How the approvals work

Questions about our services

Which service do I need?

There are two of them and they answer different questions. Residential and Commercial say which lines belong in your building and what the order turns on — a house and a townhouse and a mid-rise are not the same job. Permits and Approvals says what has to be agreed before any of it is manufactured, and it covers all three bodies that get a say: the building department, the association board where there is one, and the architect or general contractor on a commercial project.

Do you install the windows as well?

No. We sell and supply impact windows and doors, and we handle the paperwork around the order. The anchoring detail on the approved drawing is what whoever installs it has to follow.

Is the paperwork an extra charge?

No. There is no permit line and no expediting fee on our quotes. Everything on this page is inside the price we give you for the job.

Can you work with the contractor I have already hired?

Yes, and it is a common arrangement. Tell us at the estimate. We will build the window and door schedule against the openings they measured, so the Notice of Acceptance on the drawing is the one for the unit that actually turns up.
