Storm protection that doesn’t compromise the view.
Impact-rated windows and doors for homes across Tampa Bay. Product approvals, permitting and the paperwork your insurer will want are handled as part of the job.
Windows & doors we’ve built.
What your openings are likely to cost.
$950 per opening installed, and up. A typical whole home — about 16 windows, a sliding door and an entry door — runs $21,000–$55,000. The free in-home assessment ends with a fixed written proposal, not a guess.
Count your openings
Your project lead measures every opening and tells you which suits it before anything is ordered. Two-story homes add 15% on the upstairs windows.
Home type
10 windows · single-story
Includes a $450 project fee, charged once: permit, product approval paperwork and delivery. The smallest project we take is three openings. The number moves with product tier, impact rating, and whether structural or header changes are needed.
What’s in the proposal is the price. Nothing is added to it unless you approve it in writing.

Almost all of the wait is the factory’s, not ours.
Six to ten weeks of it is the factory building your units. The part anyone is at your house is the strip at the end.
weeks from the orderInstalled and inspected
Permitting and your insurer paperwork run inside that wait rather than after it, and you never call the county. You get a date measured against current manufacturer lead times, not a number off a chart.
The days anyone is at the house
Every opening is closed and secure the same day it is opened. Old units, glass and debris are hauled away, not left in your yard.
Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30
An order placed in spring is already tight against it, and the factory’s calendar is the part nobody can compress.
The assessment takes 45–60 minutes
It sets all of this up, and every opening is measured in person.
The same opening, three times.
A finished window looks the same whoever installed it. These are the two stages underneath it, on one of ours.
Opening
Old unit out, siding back to the sheathing — everything it was hiding is visible. Where the framing under it has gone, it is repaired before the new unit goes in.
Flashing
The unit set, and the flashing taped over the housewrap around it. This is the layer that keeps water out, and the one the lifetime term covers.
Finished
Siding closed. From here, a careful install and a careless one look identical.
One opening, one day. The wall was not open overnight.
on our workmanship, for as long as you own the home. In writing, handed over at the final walkthrough.
The longer term goes to the layer nobody can inspect.
Once the siding is closed, the flashing behind the frame is the one thing you cannot check and the one thing that keeps water out. So it carries the longer cover, on purpose.
- Lifetime
Workmanship — installation, flashing and finish, for as long as you own the home. The labor to correct our work, not the units themselves.

The units, their glass and hardware. Registered in your name; the same package your insurer asks for.

- Anchoring and fastening to the product approval schedule
- Flashing and sealing

Product approvalThe unit’s Florida approval is matched to the opening before it is ordered.
Flashing sequenceSill and jambs wrapped before the window goes in; the house wrap laps over the head last.
AnchoringFastener type and spacing follow the approval schedule, and are counted. Every opening is fastened and sealed to spec, whether or not it is ever inspected again.
Perimeter sealantContinuous sealant and backer rod close the exterior joint.
InspectionThe county signs off the opening before the trim closes it.
Every layer is photographed before it is covered, and the install ends with a walkthrough, warranty and care guide in hand.
One project lead manages your installation, from measurement to final inspection — not a scheduling office and a separate crew who have never seen your file.
If something does go wrong, you call the same person who ran your project — not a warranty department.
What else changes once they’re in.
Insurance
Impact-rated openings can qualify for a wind mitigation credit. Whether it changes your premium is between you and your carrier — we prepare the product approval documentation they ask for either way.
Energy
Laminated insulated glass reduces heat gain through the opening, which takes load off the cooling system.
Noise
The same laminated glass cuts outside noise from traffic and mowers.
Compare three quotes properly.
A one-page checklist for reading window bids side by side: permitting, product approval paperwork, flashing detail, and who holds the warranty. Use it on us as readily as on anyone else. No visit or call required.
One email, nothing else. We use it to send the checklist and that is all.
Common questions.
Pay monthly instead of all at once.
Monthly payment options can be arranged through third-party lenders. STRUX is paid in full for the work; the loan sits between you and the lender. Home equity lines work well too. We go through the options at the assessment, once the scope and the number are real. Tell us how you plan to pay, because budget shapes scope.
Ask about payment optionsDo I need impact windows in Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco County?
All three counties sit in a wind-borne debris region under the Florida Building Code, which requires impact protection on new and replacement openings. Every product we install is tested for large-missile impact and sustained wind pressure to meet it. Shutters are the other legal route — impact-rated glass is the one you do not have to be home to put up.
Do impact windows need a permit in Florida?
Yes, and we pull it. The permit, the inspections and the closeout are part of the job, along with the product approval documentation your insurer will ask for. Watch for anyone suggesting you pull an owner-builder permit yourself. That moves legal responsibility for the work onto you.
How do I check that STRUX is licensed?
Look us up yourself — Florida’s DBPR license search is public and takes a minute. Search the license number CGC1541514, or search STRUX Development LLC. Check two things: that the status reads Active, and that the name on the license is the name on the contract you are being asked to sign. Do that on every bid you are holding, not only ours.
What deposit do you take, and when is the rest due?
A 10% deposit at signing. After that every payment is tied to something you can see happen: materials when your windows are ordered and delivered, a progress payment when work starts, and the final 10% only after the final inspection passes and the permit is closed out.
We keep the deposit small on purpose. A large payment up front is the most common way a homeowner loses money on a renovation, and holding the last payment until the permit is closed is what makes sure someone actually closes it.
When can you start?
The wait is the manufacturer’s, not ours — six to ten weeks from order, and the order goes in as soon as selections are made. We run a small number of projects at a time, deliberately, so the honest answer is the one you get at the assessment: a date, not a season.
Do you use subcontractors?
Yes. In Florida specialist trades such as electrical have to be performed by separately licensed trades, so every general contractor works this way — the question worth asking is who holds the contract.
You have one agreement, and it is with STRUX. One named project lead hires, schedules, supervises and pays the trades, and the workmanship warranty is ours. You never chase a subcontractor, and you never wonder who to call.
Which areas do you serve?
Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties: Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the surrounding communities.
