Storm broke a window? Call your insurer first and photograph the damage before anything is moved or boarded. A storm repair may be an insurance claim; never sign an assignment of benefits or any contract that hands your claim to a contractor.
Window replacement in Jacksonville is permitted work that lists a Florida product approval number for every window on the city's Product Approval Information Sheet; HomeAdvisor's 2026 national range is $300 to $1,650 per window.
Do you need a permit to replace windows in Jacksonville?
Plan on one: Florida's Division of Emergency Management says permits are required in most situations for windows and doors, and Jacksonville warns that starting work without first applying for a permit is unlawful and carries a $250 fine. The city also says that if you pull a permit for an unlicensed contractor, you are held responsible for the work, not the contractor. Let the contractor pull it. A Notice of Commencement is needed when the improvements exceed $5,000.
Jacksonville's Product Approval Information Sheet
Jacksonville ties a Product Approval Information Sheet to each permit, listing the Florida product approval number (the FL number, with its suffix) for every exterior product. The window section covers single hung, horizontal slider, casement, double hung, fixed, awning, pass-through, projected, mullion, wind breaker, dual action and other windows. The sheet cites Florida Statute 553.842, and the contractor must keep the manufacturer's printed instructions and the list on the job site for the inspector. Ask for a copy: it is the record of exactly what went into your walls.
Impact protection and Jacksonville storms
The Florida Building Code requires glazed openings in wind-borne debris regions to be impact resistant or covered by impact-resistant protection, as the Florida Building Commission quotes the code. Whether your house is in that region depends on its design wind speed and distance from the coast; ask the contractor to show it on the permit. Hurricane Irma brought 86 mph gusts to Jacksonville in a rainband on Sept. 11, 2017, News4Jax reported, and pushed the St. Johns River to a record 5.57 feet.
Older Jacksonville homes and lead-safe work
The Census Bureau puts Jacksonville's median year built at 1987, with 39.6% of units built before 1980. If your house is one of them and was built before 1978, EPA's RRP rule requires a lead-safe certified firm for window replacement, because the rule's small-job exemption excludes window work.
