Our full-service maintenance program includes thorough inspection of glass integrity, hardware function testing, cleaning of tracks and drainage systems, lubrication of moving parts, recalibration of window balance systems, replacement of weatherstripping and gaskets as needed, sealant inspection and reapplication, and a detailed performance report with recommendations. We offer both one-time service visits and annual maintenance plans tailored to Tampa's coastal climate conditions.

For optimal performance, we recommend professional maintenance once every 12-18 months for most Tampa homes. However, properties within 3 miles of Tampa Bay or the Gulf may benefit from more frequent maintenance (every 6-12 months) due to increased salt exposure. Following our maintenance schedule has been proven to extend the functional lifespan of hurricane windows by up to 40% and preserve warranty coverage that might otherwise be voided by neglect.

Key warning signs include: difficulty opening or closing windows, visible condensation between glass panes, degraded or cracking weatherstripping, corrosion on hardware or frames, water infiltration during rain, increased outside noise transmission, and sticking or grinding sounds during operation. Our technicians can address these issues before they compromise your window's protective capabilities or lead to costly replacements.

Absolutely. Many insurance companies in Florida offer additional discounts of 3-7% for documented professional maintenance of hurricane protection systems. We provide detailed maintenance certificates after each service visit that satisfy insurance requirements for "maintained status" of your impact windows. Many Tampa homeowners find that our maintenance services pay for themselves through these additional insurance savings, beyond the primary benefit of extended window lifespan.

Our comprehensive maintenance process involves a 22-point inspection and service protocol performed by certified technicians. For an average Tampa home with 15-20 windows, maintenance typically takes 3-5 hours to complete. We begin with a thorough assessment, then perform all necessary cleaning, lubrication, adjustments, and minor repairs. All work is non-intrusive and doesn't require removal of windows. We conclude with operational testing and provide a detailed condition report highlighting any areas requiring attention in the future.
