Updated July 2026
Most homeowners meet Aegis mid-project and say the same thing: "I wish I'd met you sooner." This page exists so you find us before you buy your windows, not after.
What Are Impact Windows and Does Florida Require Them?
Impact windows (also called hurricane windows) use laminated glass and reinforced frames tested to withstand large-missile impact — a 9-pound 2x4 fired at roughly 34 mph — followed by thousands of positive and negative pressure cycles. Products carry a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documenting exactly what they’re rated for.
The Florida Building Code requires opening protection — impact glazing or shutters — in windborne debris regions, which include the coastal areas of Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte Counties. Impact windows meet that requirement permanently: no panels to hang, no tracks to maintain, and protection that works even when you’re out of town.
Beyond code, impact windows typically reduce homeowners insurance premiums through a wind mitigation inspection, cut exterior noise, and block the majority of UV that fades floors and furniture.

Why Buy Impact Windows from a Contractor Instead of a Big Box Store?
A retail window counter sells you a product at retail markup. Aegis sells you the same ES Windows product at contractor pricing — and everything after that is your choice:
- Contractor-direct pricing on ES Windows product lines, without retail markup. That's the core of it: buy where the builders buy.
- Real product guidance — wind zone, design pressures, and Florida Product Approval matched to your openings before you order, whether or not we install a single window
- Installation if you want it — Aegis crews handle permit, install, and inspection as one contract. And because Aegis self-performs structural work — concrete, masonry, framing — the crew setting your windows already understands what's behind the wall, which matters in older block homes and coastal construction.
- One point of accountability — on full-service jobs, the product, the permit, and the installation all have the same phone number. If an opening needs structural correction, it's handled on the spot, not by a second contractor.
Where Can I Buy ES Windows in Sarasota?
Aegis supplies ES Windows — one of the most widely specified impact window manufacturers in Florida high-rise and luxury coastal construction — directly to homeowners in Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte Counties. ES Windows products combine aluminum frames, laminated impact glazing, and the slim sightlines architects specify on waterfront projects.
Because Aegis buys as a contractor, homeowners get access to product lines and pricing that aren’t on a retail shelf — with lead times quoted up front and installation scheduled by the same company.
How Does Buying Impact Windows Work with Aegis?
- Send or schedule measurements — bring your own window schedule, or Aegis measures every opening and checks the surrounding structure, not just the glass. Either path works.
- Product selection & quote — ES Windows options matched to your home's wind zone, design pressure requirements, and budget. One written price, supply-only or turnkey — you pick the scope.
- Supply-only? Your windows arrive with the Florida Product Approval and NOA documentation your installer needs for the permit. That's the whole transaction — product at contractor pricing, paperwork included.
- Want it handled? Aegis pulls the permit, in-house crews set, anchor, seal, and finish each opening — no subcontractors.
- Final inspection — on installed jobs, Aegis meets the inspector and closes the permit. You keep the paperwork your insurance carrier asks for at wind mitigation time.

Impact Window Questions, Answered
How much do impact windows cost in Sarasota?
It depends on size, frame material, and how many openings you’re doing. Whole-home projects in this area commonly run into five figures — which is exactly why buying at contractor-direct pricing instead of retail matters. Aegis quotes product, permit, and installation as one number, free.
Are impact windows the same as hurricane windows?
Yes — same thing, two names. Both refer to laminated, impact-rated glazing tested to Florida’s windborne debris standards.
Do impact windows lower insurance premiums?
Usually, yes. After installation, a wind mitigation inspection documents your opening protection, and most Florida carriers apply a discount. Aegis provides the product approval paperwork your inspector needs.
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Sarasota County?
Yes. Window replacement requires a permit and inspection in Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte Counties. Aegis pulls it and closes it — that’s part of the job, not an add-on.
Why do you sell ES Windows specifically?
Because it’s what we’d put in our own homes. ES Windows is specified constantly in Florida coastal and high-rise work, and Aegis has direct access to their product lines at pricing that beats the retail counter.
