A documented annual or post-storm tune-up that keeps your impact windows sealing, sliding, locking, and draining — on any brand. We protect the warranty and insurance credit you paid for.
Impact windows are built tough, but they aren't maintenance-free. Central Florida hits them with everything at once: salt-tinged air drifting in from the coast, relentless UV that bakes seals and finishes, summer humidity, and wind-blown grit and pollen that settle into every track and weep hole. Over a few seasons that takes a quiet toll — rollers stiffen, weatherstripping hardens, perimeter caulk shrinks, and locks lose their crisp throw.
A periodic tune-up reverses that wear before it costs you. We clean and lubricate the moving parts so sashes glide again, refresh the seals that keep conditioned air in and storm water out, and test every lock and latch so the window performs to its impact rating when it matters most. It's a small, affordable visit that protects a big investment — and keeps the warranty and insurance credit you paid for fully intact.
None of these mean your windows are failing — most are normal wear that a maintenance visit or a minor window repair puts right. Catch them early in Orlando's climate and you avoid the bigger, costlier fixes down the road.
If a window fights you to open or no longer glides smoothly, grit and dried-out lubricant in the tracks and worn rollers are usually the culprit — a cleaning and lube visit brings the motion back.
Air movement or a faint whistle near a closed window points to hardened weatherstripping or shrinking perimeter caulk. Re-sealing restores the tight, energy-saving closure you had at install.
Haze trapped inside the glass means an insulated-glass seal has failed. We confirm which units are affected, check any glass warranty, and replace just the glass — not the whole window.
A latch that's stiff or no longer lines up can leave a window short of its sealed, impact-rated position. We adjust and lubricate the hardware so every lock engages cleanly and fully.
Impact windows drain through small weep holes that clog with dirt and debris over time. Clearing them lets rain escape the way it should instead of backing up into the frame.
After any named storm or major wind event, a quick inspection confirms the seals, frames, anchors, and glass took the load without hidden damage — and documents it for your insurer.
Our maintenance visit is a full check of everything that makes an impact window seal, slide, lock, and drain. Here's what we do at each one.
We clear grit from the tracks, rollers, and balances and apply the right lubricant so sashes glide freely and the hardware moves the way it was built to.
We check the perimeter caulk and weatherstripping for shrinking, cracking, or hardening, and reseal where needed to lock out air and wind-driven water.
Every lock, latch, and handle is tested and adjusted so it throws fully and the sash closes to its sealed, impact-rated position — a key part of how the window protects you.
We inspect the laminated-glass seals for cloudiness or failure, clear the weep holes so rain drains out, and flag any unit that needs a glass replacement.
You get a clear record of what we serviced and inspected — useful for your manufacturer warranty and for your wind-mitigation insurance file.
We service the windows we installed and windows installed by others — including units from a company that's no longer around. Worn parts, we source the right replacement.
Not every problem is a tune-up item. When a part has actually failed, we repair it — and if the frame itself is past repair, we'll say so honestly and point you to impact window replacement instead of patching what can't be saved.
Fog trapped between panes means the insulated glass unit has failed. We confirm which units are affected, check the glass warranty, and swap just the IGU — never a whole window you didn't need.
Worn balances, dragging rollers, stiff cranks, and latches that no longer line up get adjusted or replaced with the correct part, so every sash closes back to its impact-rated position.
Hardened weatherstripping, shrunken perimeter caulk, and blocked weep drainage let air and storm water past the frame. We reseal the opening and restore the drainage path.
We service every window we install from the Eco-Guard™ impact line by Eco Window Systems — and we tune up other brands too. Each Eco-Guard™ series uses laminated impact glass in a heavy-gauge T6 aluminum frame, NFRC certified and rated for large- and small-missile impact. Knowing the hardware inside out is what keeps your tune-up fast and warranty-safe.
The most common unit in Orlando homes. We clean the bottom-sash track, free the balances, and make sure it lifts and locks the way it should.
Side-gliding sashes collect the most grit. We clear and lubricate the rollers and track so they slide smoothly again instead of dragging.
No moving parts, but the seals and glass still matter. We check the laminated glass for cloudiness and reseal the perimeter against leaks.
Crank-out sashes rely on a smooth operator and tight seal. We service the crank, hinges, and lock points so it opens easily and shuts weather-tight.
The laminated glass is what protects you in a storm. We inspect every pane for seal failure or clouding and flag any unit that needs glass service.
Heavy-gauge T6 aluminum frames last for decades when the weep holes stay clear. We flush the drainage so wind-driven rain exits instead of pooling.
Impact windows are an investment, and two of their biggest payoffs — the manufacturer warranty and your wind-mitigation insurance discount — depend on the windows staying in good condition. Regular, documented maintenance keeps both working for you.
Most window warranties assume the units are reasonably cared for. A documented annual tune-up keeps seals, hardware, and drainage in spec — and gives you the paper trail that supports any future claim.
Wind-mitigation discounts assume your impact protection still works. Keeping locks, seals, and glass in shape — and holding your inspection paperwork — helps that premium credit stay in place at renewal.
Small fixes done on time — a fresh seal, a clean track, a cleared weep hole — keep moisture and grit from working into the frame and hardware, so your windows last and perform for many more years.
You don't need to overthink it. For most homes, an annual tune-up plus a quick check after any major storm keeps impact windows performing at their best — coastal and high-dust locations may want twice a year.
An annual visit is the baseline — ideally before hurricane season — so the seals, hardware, and drainage are fresh and ready when storm weather arrives.
Once a named storm or strong wind event passes, a post-storm inspection confirms nothing shifted and documents the condition for your insurance file.
Homes closer to salt air, or on dusty, high-traffic corridors, collect grit and corrosion faster — a second visit keeps tracks and hardware ahead of the wear.
We'll clean and lubricate the hardware, reseal the perimeter, test the locks, clear the weep holes, and document the visit for your warranty and insurer — on any brand of impact window.

"Very impressed with the quality of the windows and the professionalism of the staff. The whole process was easy and stress-free."
"Great experience overall. The team was on time, worked clean, and the windows look amazing. You can really feel the difference right away."
"We are extremely happy with our new impact windows from American Impact Windows. Great communication, quality work, and the entire process was handled professionally from start to finish."
For Orlando homes, plan on a professional tune-up once a year, plus an extra inspection after any named storm or major wind event. Florida's salt-tinged air, intense UV, and wind-blown grit are hard on tracks, rollers, weatherstripping, and perimeter caulk, so an annual visit catches small problems — a stiffening roller, a hairline gap in a seal — before they turn into drafts, leaks, or a failed glass unit. Homes near the coast or on busy, dusty corridors often benefit from twice-a-year service. Call (689) 219-5507 to set up a maintenance visit.
It can help. Most impact window manufacturers expect the windows to be reasonably maintained — clean tracks, clear weep holes, intact weatherstripping, working hardware — and some warranties can be jeopardized if neglect leads to the damage. A documented annual tune-up shows the units have been cared for, keeps the seals and hardware in spec, and gives you a paper trail if you ever need to file a claim. We service windows we installed and windows installed by others, and we leave you a record of the work each visit.
Fog or haze trapped between the panes means the insulated glass seal has failed — and once that happens, it can't be cleaned or re-sealed back to new. The fix is to replace the affected glass unit (the IGU), not the whole window, which is far less costly than a full replacement. During a maintenance visit we identify which units have failed, check whether they're still under a glass warranty, and give you a clear quote to swap just the glass. Catching it early also keeps moisture from spreading to the frame and hardware.
Yes. You don't have to be a past customer — we tune up impact windows from any manufacturer across the Orlando metro, including units installed by a company that's no longer around. We'll clean and lubricate the hardware, reseal where needed, test the locks, clear the weep holes, and check the glass seals, then tell you honestly what (if anything) needs attention. If a part is worn out, we source the right replacement. Call (689) 219-5507 to schedule a tune-up on your existing windows.
It depends on what failed. The price of a window repair is driven by the part involved — a fogged insulated-glass unit, a worn balance or roller, a lock that no longer throws, or perimeter seals — plus the window's size, its series, and whether the part is still covered by a manufacturer warranty we can claim for you. Because those variables swing the number widely, we don't guess over the phone: we confirm the exact fix during a free assessment and put the figure in writing before any work starts. Call (689) 219-5507 to schedule yours.
Schedule an annual or post-storm tune-up with a licensed local crew. We'll clean and lubricate the hardware, reseal the perimeter, test the locks, clear the weep holes, and document the visit for your warranty and insurer — on any brand of impact window. Call (689) 219-5507 today.
