Folkers Window Company

How long does window installation take?

Most window installations are completed in one day. For larger projects (20+ windows), installation typically takes 2-3 days. Our team works efficiently and cleans up thoroughly after each day's work. We'll provide you with a detailed timeline during your free consultation.

Do I need to be home during installation?

Yes, we ask that an adult be present during installation, especially at the start and end of each day. This allows our team to answer any questions and ensures you're satisfied with the work. Most homeowners find it helpful to be available but our team works independently once we've reviewed the project with you.

What's included in the lifetime warranty?

Our lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, seal failure (fogging between panes), hardware issues (locks, handles, hinges), and installation-related problems. Warranty details are provided in writing with every installation. No fine print surprises.

How much can I save on energy bills?

Most homeowners see 30-50% reduction in cooling costs, especially during hot Gulf Coast summers. Savings depend on your current windows, home size, and usage patterns. During your free consultation, we can provide an estimate based on your specific situation. Many customers save $150-300+ per month during peak cooling season.

Are impact windows really necessary in Florida?

In many Gulf Coast areas, impact windows are required by building codes for new construction and major renovations. Even if not required, they provide crucial protection against hurricanes, break-ins, and noise. They're also eligible for insurance discounts. Our impact windows are tested to withstand Category 5 hurricane winds and have protected homes through 50 years of Gulf Coast storms.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes, we offer flexible financing options to make your window upgrade affordable. Options include low monthly payments and competitive rates. During your free consultation, we'll discuss financing options that work for your budget. Many customers also take advantage of special promotions throughout the year.

Will you handle permits and inspections?

Absolutely! As licensed contractors (Florida CBC1260136, Alabama 24481), we handle all permits and coordinate final inspections. You don't need to worry about paperwork or scheduling—we take care of everything. This is part of our complete service commitment.

How do I know what type of windows are right for my home?

During your free consultation, our experienced team will assess your home, discuss your needs, and recommend the best window types for your situation. We consider factors like your home's architecture, location, energy goals, and budget. We'll bring samples and help you visualize options. There's no pressure—we want you to make the right decision for your home.
