What options do you have to finance windows in Florida?
It is hard to find the right home improvement financing solution for window and door upgrades. A home equity loan or a home equity line of credit (HELOC) can take a month or longer to get approved, even if you have perfect credit. Personal and unsecured loans typically have minimum FICO score requirements and shorter repayment terms that can lead to high repayment bills.
PACE offers a great option with affordable payments over time and no minimum credit score requirement. Use the table below to compare your options and determine the best way to finance your impact windows and doors.

Financing storm windows and doors through Home Run Financing
Impact-resistant windows & doors FAQ
Financing hurricane shutters and windows may increase your home value, but it is hard to estimate how much your home’s value might increase as this can vary significantly from market to market. Hurricane impact windows are more likely to increase the value of your home than storm shutters, due to the added benefits of curb appeal, noise reduction and energy efficiency.
Both hurricane windows and shutters can be a strong selling point if you ever decide to sell your home. This makes participating in a Florida impact window program a great investment for the future.
Yes, most Florida impact window programs typically require you to get a permit prior to installation. The specific permit process and code requirements varies based on your location. The good news is that we are happy to connect you with a Home Run Financing approved contractor who will help you navigate this process. Once your project is complete, you may be able to use your permit with your home insurance provider to receive an impact windows discount on your insurance.
Determining the best way to finance impact windows can be tricky, especially if you have bad credit. Home Run Financing does not use your FICO or credit score to determine if you will be approved for financing for your storm windows. Our underwriting primarily takes into consideration the equity you have in your home, your mortgage and property tax payment and history, and any recent bankruptcies you might have. PACE is perfect for financing home renovations with bad credit.
Many windows companies do offer financing. However, this option may not be the best way to finance impact windows. Unsecured loans or personal loans make it hard to finance windows with bad credit, as they typically require strong credit scores to be eligible for competitive interest rates. Many unsecured loans also have relatively short repayment periods, leading to higher monthly repayment costs.
Other options such as a home equity line of credit (HELOC) can take a month or longer to get approved, even if you have perfect credit. PACE financing works differently, offering long terms and competitive rates without any minimum credit score requirements. PACE is a great option for impact window financing.
