Impact Windows and Doors in Hernando, FL

Hernando, in Citrus County, is an unincorporated community north of Inverness along US 41, set on the shores of Lake Hernando and the northern end of the Tsala Apopka chain. It is a different place from Hernando County, which lies to the south. Many homes sit along the shore, while others are tucked back on wooded lots near the lakes. Mitchell Windows and Doors installs impact windows and doors in Hernando, FL, for lake homes and wooded lots alike.

Homes Along Lake Hernando

Many homes in Hernando face Lake Hernando or the lakes connected to it. Open water gives wind a long run before it reaches the shore. Lakefront windows and sliders often take the brunt of a passing storm.

Along the lakeshore, CWS impact windows are built so the glass stays in the frame when wind drives debris across the water. Icon windows offer larger sizes and more style choices for homes with lake views. Lake views stay open, since impact glass works without shutters covering the windows.

Older Lake Cottages and Their Windows

Lakeside living in Hernando goes back a long way, and some homes near the water are older cottages and block houses. Many still have their original windows, with worn seals and aluminum frames. Those windows let in heat and offer little storm protection.

WindPact windows are a solid replacement across the whole house. We measure every opening, since older homes are rarely built to standard sizes. Replacing old windows also closes up drafts and helps the home feel more comfortable.

Between the Lakes and the Withlacoochee State Trail

Hernando sits close to the Withlacoochee State Trail, and many homes are surrounded by oaks and pines. Trees bring shade, but they also bring falling limbs in high wind. Debris is one of the biggest dangers to windows during a storm.

StormStrong windows give strong protection without shutters to store and put up. That means less to do when a storm is forecast. Impact glass also helps keep out wind-driven rain, which often comes sideways off the lake.

Doors for the Dock, the Porch and the Front Walk

Lake homes often have several doors in daily use, to the porch, the yard and the water. Each one needs to seal tight against wind-driven rain. A strong door completes the protection the windows provide.

For the dock side and the porch, BHI offers impact-rated patio doors as well as entry doors. Plastpro fiberglass doors resist the swelling and rot that humid lake air can cause. Replacing doors and windows together gives a lake home consistent protection on every side.
