Our window specialists assess the condition of your windows, the frames around them and the flashing behind them, then explain what is actually failing. Sometimes it is a twenty dollar balance. Sometimes the seal is gone and no repair will bring back the efficiency. You get a written scope either way, and if hail was involved we document it for your claim alongside the roof inspection.
Most St. Louis window replacements land between roughly 450 and 1,200 dollars per window installed, with vinyl double-hung units at the lower end and large casement, bay or custom wood-clad units well above it. Price moves with frame material, glass package, opening size and whether the surrounding trim and flashing need rebuilding. Whole-house projects on a typical three-bedroom home commonly run into the low five figures. We quote per opening so you can phase the work, replacing the worst elevation first rather than the whole house at once.
Yes. St. Louis hail regularly cracks glass, pits vinyl and aluminum frames, tears screens and damages window wraps and trim, and that damage is generally covered under the same wind and hail claim as your roof. The catch is that adjusters often scope the roof and miss the windows, especially on the elevation that took the hail. We photograph every elevation, including frames and screens, so the full loss is documented. Missouri law leaves the negotiation to you and your insurer, so we supply evidence rather than argue the claim.
Yes, and they are two separate warranties worth understanding. The manufacturer covers the window itself, typically material defects, glass seal failure and frame issues. Storm Guard covers the installation with a written workmanship warranty. Before we start, we go through what is covered, how long it lasts and how to make a claim, and we keep your paperwork on file so you are not digging through a drawer in eight years.
Straightforward like-for-like window replacement usually does not require a permit in most Southwest St. Louis jurisdictions, but there are real exceptions. Enlarging an opening, changing an egress window, or altering the structure generally does require one. Properties inside a City of St. Louis historic district can need review even where the building code would not require a permit. Requirements vary by municipality, so we confirm with your city or county before we order, and we tell you if a permit is needed rather than leaving you to find out.
Most St. Louis homes are done in one to two days once the windows arrive, with each standard opening taking roughly 45 minutes to two hours. The waiting is in the manufacturing, typically two to six weeks for standard sizes and longer for custom or wood-clad units. We measure, order and only then schedule installation, so your house is not open to the weather while we wait on a shipment. If a storm damaged the opening and it cannot wait, we can board up or tarp the opening in the meantime.
Unless otherwise noted, each use of "Storm Guard," “us,” “we,” or “our” throughout Stormguardrc.com collectively refers to both the Storm Guard brand and the Storm Guard Franchise System, which is made up almost exclusively of independently owned and operated franchise locations.
