Retrofitting a Boynton Beach home for storm season usually starts with the windows, and for good reason. Roof and door upgrades matter, but the glazed openings represent the largest continuous area of vulnerable envelope on a typical single-family build.
Impact glass versus shutters
Shutters protect an opening only while they are closed and correctly fastened. Impact units protect it permanently, including the afternoon nobody is home to prepare — which is the scenario that actually costs people their roof.
What the permit process expects
Florida requires product approval documentation at permit stage, and inspectors do check anchor patterns against the approved installation instructions. A contractor who cannot produce the NOA for the specific unit is a contractor who will struggle at inspection.
Storm season arrives on schedule here — STS Impact Windows & Doors provides new window installation for Boynton Beach homeowners preparing early. STS Impact Windows & Doors covers the wider Palm Beach and Broward corridor.
