Why there is no rate on this page

You will see impact window companies advertising a specific APR, a monthly payment, or "no payments until" a given year. We are a licensed contractor, not a lender. The rate and term you are offered comes from the lender and depends on your credit file — so any number we printed here would be a number we could not honour. Your real figures come from the lender, in writing, before you sign. Ask for the APR and the total finance charge, not just the monthly payment.

The four routes South Florida homeowners actually use

Home improvement financing through a lender

The most common route. A third-party lender underwrites the loan against your credit, pays us directly, and you repay them monthly. We introduce you to the lenders we work with, you apply, and they set your rate and term — we never see your credit file and we do not mark the loan up. Approval is usually same-day.

Rates and terms are set by the lender, not by us, and depend on your credit. Ask the lender for the APR and total finance charge in writing before you sign anything.

My Safe Florida Home grant

A state program that pays a share of the cost of qualifying wind-mitigation work on a homesteaded Florida home, including impact windows and doors. It runs on funding cycles set by the Legislature and opens and closes without much warning. It is a grant, not a loan — nothing to repay.

Eligibility, match amounts and whether applications are open at all are decided by the state, not by us. Check the current position on the official program site before you plan around it.

How My Safe Florida Home works

PACE assessment

Property Assessed Clean Energy financing attaches the cost to your property tax bill instead of your credit file, and it survives a sale — it transfers with the house. It is available across South Florida for wind-hardening work, through providers including HomeRun Financing, Ygrene and Renew Financial. Approval leans on your home equity and payment history rather than a credit score.

A PACE assessment is a lien on your property. It can complicate a refinance or a sale, and some mortgage lenders object to it. Worth understanding fully before choosing it over a conventional loan.

Paying outright

Roughly the position most of our whole-home jobs land in once the homeowner has run the numbers. Impact windows are one of the few home upgrades that pull money back through a second channel — the wind mitigation credit on your homeowners insurance — so the effective cost after the first few renewal cycles is lower than the invoice suggests.

Questions worth asking any contractor about financing

  • Is the price the same whether I finance or pay outright?
  • Who is the lender, and do you receive a fee from them?
  • What is the APR and the total finance charge over the full term — not the monthly payment?
  • Is there a prepayment penalty if I clear it early?
  • If this is PACE, does it place a lien on my property, and what happens if I sell?
  • Do I sign the loan before or after the final measure? (It should be after.)
