Measure, price, permit, install. Here’s how it goes.
A free measure by a senior installer, a price per opening that stays put, the permit on us and our own crew on install day.

Pick one, then choose a time for your free measure.
Four steps
Start with step 1- 1
A senior installer measures
One of our most experienced installers comes to the house, measures every opening and checks the wall around it. Samples ride along so you can see frames and glass up close.
- 2
A fixed price per opening
You get a written price for each window and door, with the style, glass and rating listed beside it. The price holds, because the measuring is already done.
- 3
Permit and build
We file the permit and order your units, each built to its opening. You get a crew date on our install calendar, usually several weeks out.
- 4
Our crew installs
Our own crew takes out the old units, sets the new ones, seals and finishes the trim, then cleans up. After the inspection we walk the house with you and register your 10-year install warranty.
Inside a Saltmarsh install
- Coating
- Low-E on most units
- Protective film
- Peeled at the final clean
A hit can crack the outer pane, but the laminate holds the pieces and the opening stays shut.
- Material
- Aluminum or vinyl
- Rating
- Matched to your home’s wind load
We never swap parts between units. An approval covers only the frame and glass it was tested with.
- Pattern
- As the approval drawing shows
- Holds to
- Block or the wood buck
These carry the load when wind presses on the glass and then pulls back.
- Lumber
- Treated against rot
- If soft
- We replace it
Old bucks hide behind trim. Your installer probes each one as soon as the old unit is out.
- Type
- Rated for exterior use
- Runs
- Frame to wall
Most leaks people blame on a window start at this joint, so we tool it by hand.
- Set
- Shimmed and fastened
- Drains
- Toward the outside
Get the sill right and the sash slides and locks easily for decades.
Book before June, install before the storms
Every unit is built to your measurements, which takes several weeks, and permits add a few more. Measure in the fall or winter and you get an early date on our install calendar. Your crew date goes in writing when you sign.
Process questions, answered
What makes it an impact window?
Laminated glass in a frame approved together with it. A hit can crack the glass, but the bonded layer keeps the opening closed. Every unit we install has Florida product approval.
Can the shutters come down for good?
Yes. An approved impact unit protects its opening by itself. We haul the old panels and tracks away on install day.
Who handles the permit?
We do. We file it, book every inspection and meet the inspector at the house.
How long is install?
Two to four crew days for most houses. Units are built to order, so plan on six to ten weeks between signing and your install date.
What’s the warranty?
You get two. The maker covers the unit, and Saltmarsh covers our installation work for 10 years.
Who cleans up?
Our crew. Old units and shutter hardware leave on our truck, the trim gets patched and painted, and the floors get vacuumed.
