Hurricane & Impact Windows for Southern Louisiana

Hands-on experience since 2006Everett began his window-installation career in the Washington, DC area in 2006, starting as a helper and working his way up to top installer and business owner.

That is roughly 20 years of hands-on window experience behind the Singleton Standard.

 

That story matters when you are choosing something as important as your home's windows. You deserve an installer who can explain the product, look closely at the opening, and talk through the work in plain English. At Singleton, the conversation starts with your home and what you need from it.

 

Want quieter bedrooms? Worried about older windows before another storm season? Trying to keep the character of your house while replacing frames that have seen better days? Tell us. Those details shape the recommendation.

 

 

Storm protection is a local conversation

Hurricane Ida made landfall near Port Fourchon in Lafourche Parish on August 29, 2021, as a Category 4 hurricane with 150-mph sustained winds. The National Weather Service documented severe coastal damage and impacts well inland, including reported gusts in New Orleans, Mandeville and Thibodaux. Storm preparation belongs in the conversation on both sides of the lake. Read the NWS local storm report.

 

We help homeowners in Orleans and Jefferson parishes, including New Orleans, Metairie and Kenner; St. Tammany Parish, including Mandeville, Covington and Slidell; and communities such as Houma in Terrebonne Parish and Thibodaux in Lafourche Parish.

 

Your home's location is the starting point, not the whole specification. Its openings, exposure and installation conditions deserve a closer look.

 

 

What makes a window impact-resistant?

Impact-resistant windows combine laminated glass with a frame and attachment system designed for wind and wind-borne debris. The glass includes a bonded inner layer that helps hold broken glass together after an impact. The complete window matters—not just the glass you can see.

 

Think of the choice in two parts: select the right tested window, then install that window correctly. We will walk you through both, including the product's impact and pressure ratings and the installation details for your opening.

 

 

Pella Hurricane Shield Series

Pella Hurricane Shield Series offers vinyl impact-resistant window options in single-hung, sliding, casement and awning designs. Pella identifies options tested for demanding coastal requirements, including Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That gives us a useful starting point for a product-specific conversation about your Louisiana home.

 

The practical question is how you want each room to work. Do you like a sash that slides upward, an easy-to-reach sliding window, or a casement that opens outward? We can compare the look, operation and glass selection together. You should leave the conversation knowing what you are choosing and why.

NT Window 1800 Series Impact

NT Window's dedicated impact collection is the 1800 Series Impact. Its published brochure includes single-hung, double-hung, sliding, picture, casement and geometric window styles. Laminated glass and reinforced frames are part of the system, and the manufacturer documents impact testing followed by repeated pressure cycling.

 

This is the NT line to discuss when impact resistance is a priority—not a blanket claim about every NT window. We can help you compare familiar window shapes, preserve a view you love, and choose a layout that feels right from inside and outside your home.

A good installation begins before installation day

First, we listen. Tell us which windows are difficult to operate, where you notice drafts or outside noise, and whether storm protection is driving the project. A rough window count is helpful; you do not need to arrive knowing every product name.

 

Next, we look at the openings. Measurements, existing frame condition and the surrounding wall help determine the work involved. We also review the selected product's documented performance and installation requirements so the proposal describes a real solution for your home.

 

Then we make the choices clear: the window series, operating style, glass, finish and scope of work. Bring your questions. You should understand the plan before making a decision.

 

Finally, we walk through the finished work. We review operation, locks, finish details and your remaining questions. That is what the Singleton Standard means in practice: paying attention all the way through.

 

 

Questions homeowners ask

Can impact windows still look like my home?

Yes. Compare traditional and more contemporary layouts without treating appearance as an afterthought. Bring us the features you want to keep—your sightlines, grille pattern or the feel of a favorite room—and we will work through suitable choices.

 

 

Should I replace everything at once?

We can discuss a whole-home project or a phased plan. Start with what you want to accomplish and the windows you are concerned about. If storm protection is the goal, include your doors and other openings in that conversation too.

 

 

Do impact windows make a home hurricane-proof?

No. Impact resistance addresses wind and flying debris; it is not flood protection or a reason to ignore an evacuation order. Keep your family storm plan in place. NWS hurricane planning.
