How New Windows and Doors Transformed This Tampa Home

How-To

Project Overview

After experiencing water infiltration issues during Hurricane Milton, a Tampa homeowner began noticing several signs that their home’s aging exterior systems were no longer performing as intended. Cracked caulking, framing separation, and moisture concerns around the home’s original single-pane windows prompted them to explore a long-term solution.

To improve both protection and curb appeal, the homeowner partnered with POWER to replace 29 windows and four exterior doors throughout the home.

The Challenge

Like many older homes in Florida, the property was equipped with single-pane windows that struggled to withstand severe weather conditions.

Following Hurricane Milton, the homeowner reported:

Cracked and deteriorating caulking
Separation around window framing
Water infiltration concerns
Aging windows that no longer provided the desired level of performance

With hurricane season remaining a constant concern along Florida’s Gulf Coast, the homeowner wanted a solution that would improve weather resistance while enhancing the home’s appearance.

The Solution

POWER installed 29 impact-resistant windows and four new exterior doors designed to improve durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal.

The Result

The completed project delivered a dramatic transformation to the home’s exterior while addressing the homeowner’s performance concerns.

The new impact-resistant windows and upgraded entry door systems provide improved protection against Florida’s harsh weather conditions while creating a cleaner, more cohesive appearance throughout the home.
