Investing in impact windows has advantages for homeowners seeking safety and soundproofing. In areas subject to tornadoes and hurricanes—violent storms that can generate dangerous flying debris—impact-resistant windows may be a legal necessity.
When it’s a legal requirement permits are required. Window permit requirements vary by where you live depending on vulnerability to hurricanes, tornadoes or other storms (in Florida, check with a local window contractor like Florida Home Improvement Associates for permitting details).
Energy Remodeling, a solar company and green home solutions provider, prides itself on quality. The company uses American-made solar panels and offers a 10-year labor warranty to back up its workmanship (compared to the market standard of two years).
"Our panels also have a 25-year linear warranty—that’s about as good as it gets,” says Ed Zumstien, associate vice president of sales. While solar systems are Energy Remodeling’s “bread and butter” the company offers an array of services, from cool roofs, HVAC systems, and windows, to artificial grass and insulation.
