Houston Replacement Storm Windows
Houston is notorious for some of the most severe storms in Texas. Whether it’s a routine spring thunderstorm or a full-blown tropical storm—you need the storm windows that will protect your family. Being so close to the Gulf of Mexico, a hotbed of hurricane activity, we get a lot of tropical storms through here. Therefore, many Houston area homes are located in specific “Hurricane Zones.” These areas, designated by the Texas Department of Insurance, come with specific building codes for homes.
One of those codes deals with the requirement of specific building products designed to withstand hurricane-level winds. Naturally, one of the requirements deals with windows.

Impact & Wind Resistance Are Critical Features
For storm windows in Houston, the most crucial features that must be present are impact resistance and wind resistance. Once a home’s windows are compromised, air pressure in the home can build up so much that it can blow the roof right off. This usually results in the entire home being effectively leveled—extremely dangerous in any scenario.
Our windows are designed to withstand severe windstorms and even hurricane-force winds. Furthermore, with wind and hurricane-level storms comes flying debris—branches, objects, and more. Our storm windows in Houston homes protect against flying debris, and rain from penetrating through the windows. This negates the need for unsightly and often cumbersome storm shutters or boarding up with plywood.
These windows have been put through extreme stress tests in controlled labs with simulated conditions that equal or exceed most hurricane-force winds. Our windows have been AAMA-certified for use in the most extreme hurricane zones.
AAMA Certified Storm Windows In Houston
The AAMA, American Architectural Manufacturers Association is an industry association that has provided performance ratings for windows since 1962. The certification program is not only accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) but also promotes the highest performance and quality standards for windows.
AAMA Certification Programs
- Gold Label for air leakage, water infiltration, and structural performance
- Silver Label for thermal performance
- Insulating Glass Certification
- Certifications for Mobile Home and Manufactured Housing
How Do Our Storm Windows Stack Up?
Our windows are built to very stringent AAMA standards for both wind and impact resistance. For example, in testing, the windows are struck with common objects at speeds over 30mph and the weather barrier remained intact with no issues at all. Despite those proven results, we go even further and offer one of the best warranties on storm windows in Houston. You can review the warranty details with one of our window consultants for an in-depth review of the terms.
Stronger Than The Storm
We don’t settle for anything less than the absolute best hurricane performance. So, our windows are tested in storm conditions where wind speeds are measured up to 140mph. In fact, our storm windows exceed the standards set by the ASTM E1996 method. To comply with this method windows must pass stringent testing that includes:
ASTM E1996 testing
- Firing an eight-foot, nine-pound 2×4 wood beam from a cannon directly to the window
- Positive and negative pressure cycling at 20-100% of the windows design pressure
- Over 8,000 pressure cycles (4,500 positive and 4,500 negative specifically)
How we install your new windows
Each old window comes out with its frame, and the new one is built to the measurements of your opening. Before it goes in, we seal the opening with our Leak Shield system. That means a flashing membrane over the rough opening, butyl tape at every seam and flange, low-expansion foam in the gap between frame and wall, and a final exterior seal.
Leak Shield comes with every installation at no extra cost, and we back every installation we perform with our lifetime Leak Shield Guarantee.
We will never leave the job without ensuring you have the highest quality windows installed properly and your home is left spotless. We take pride in our work and respect your space, aiming to leave behind one of the cleanest job sites you’ve ever seen.

“I got several quotes, and Jairo was the only one who brought samples and took the time to give us a demonstration. The office stayed in communication with me every step of the way… Edwin’s installation team worked quickly and professionally.”
“Replacing my parents’ original builder-grade windows in their 25+ year old home was one of the best investments they’ve made… They’ve already noticed lower electric bills, less outside noise, and a cooler, more comfortable home that’s much easier to keep at a consistent temperature.”
