Caner Impact Windows & Doors installs hurricane-rated impact windows and doors across Fort Myers and Lee County, from the McGregor corridor and Whiskey Creek to Gateway, Lehigh Acres, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs and Estero. We replace original single-pane windows and sliding doors with PGT, ES and CGI impact products, pull the permit with the city or the county, and finish most homes in one to three days.
Why Fort Myers Homes Need Impact Windows
Hurricane Ian came ashore at Cayo Costa in September 2022 as a Category 4 storm and put Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Iona and the riverfront under water, and Milton in 2024 and Charley in 2004 hit the same coast. Lee County sits inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so the Florida Building Code already requires opening protection, impact glass or code-approved shutters, on any window or door you replace. The county is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward, which is why product choices are wider and prices run a little lower here than in South Florida. Most Fort Myers homes built before the 2002 code change still have single-pane aluminum windows that were never designed for a hurricane.
Storm protection without shutters
Laminated impact glass holds together when debris hits it, keeping the building envelope sealed so pressure cannot build inside the house. There is nothing to put up before a storm and nothing to take down after, and the home is protected while you are away, which matters for the seasonal owners who make up so much of Lee County.
Lower insurance premiums
Once every opening is impact rated, your home qualifies for Florida wind-mitigation credits. Fort Myers homeowners commonly see the wind portion of their policy drop by 25 to 45 percent, and we provide the paperwork your insurer asks for.
Quieter, cooler rooms
The same laminated glass that stops debris blocks traffic noise from US 41, Colonial Boulevard and Daniels Parkway and cuts heat gain, so the air conditioning runs less. Low-E glass is available on every unit we install.

What Impact Windows Cost in Fort Myers
Most Fort Myers homeowners pay between $800 and $1,400 per window installed, with sliding glass doors from about $2,000, French doors from about $2,500 and a whole house typically landing between $10,000 and $30,000 depending on window count and style. Because Lee County is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, product and permit costs sit at the lower end of the Florida range. Our impact windows cost guide breaks it down by window type and home size, the impact doors cost guide covers sliding, French and entry doors, and financing through the Wells Fargo Home Projects Credit Card is available with no upfront payment for qualified homeowners.
“The Caner team is awesome. We compared prices on windows and doors, apples to apples with another company, same windows, same doors, same item numbers, and we saved thousands.”

When to Replace Windows in Fort Myers
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 and factory lead times stretch to eight weeks or more once the first storm is named, so the best time to order is January through April. Replace sooner if your windows are original aluminum single panes, if frames show corrosion or gaps, if sashes stick or will not lock, or if you are still putting up panels every season. Our guide to when to install hurricane windows in Fort Myers covers timing in detail, and the Fort Myers window and door style guide helps you match styles to your home.
