Services
Impact-Resistant Windows
Our impact-resistant windows feature reinforced aluminum frames and laminated glass that withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris. The specialized silicone glazing system prevents glass shattering while maintaining energy efficiency. These windows reduce outdoor noise by up to 70% and block 99% of UV rays to protect interior furnishings.
Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie fiber cement siding combines durability with aesthetic appeal, resisting rot, insects, and fire. Our installation process follows Vinyl Siding Institute standards for perfect fit and longevity. Available in multiple textures and colors, this low-maintenance solution enhances home value while withstanding extreme weather.
Custom Entry Doors
We offer fiberglass and steel entry doors with advanced security features and thermal efficiency. Our doors feature rot-resistant composite frames and premium hardware from Schlage and Emtek. Available with decorative glass options and smartphone-integrated locks for modern convenience.
Aluminum Hurricane Shutters
Our aluminum hurricane shutters provide superior protection against Category 5 storms while maintaining curb appeal. Available in colonial, Bahama, and board-and-batten styles with powder-coated finishes. These lightweight shutters require minimal maintenance and enhance home security when closed.
Retractable Porch Screens
Custom retractable screens use commercial-grade aluminum and UV-resistant mesh for durability. Motorized options allow one-touch operation to control sunlight, insects, and privacy. Available in multiple colors with optional white mesh for outdoor movie projection capabilities.

Replaced old Windows with double pane insulated. Very professional. They maintained clean job areas. Windows reduce outside noise and helped us save on utility bills. Had one exterior door replaced with steel paneled door. Very nice job and cleaned all of area before they left.

I cannot say enough good words about Acadian Windows!! From start to finish they were amazing. Donnie, our salesman, was so professional at our initial meeting to give us a quote. He laid out all expectations from the initial deposit to measurement date to install date (much appreciated!). He was always available when I had questions and got back to me so quickly. Windows were on time (actually were probably a little bit earlier than quoted). The installation guys were incredible. They did the job so quickly but thoroughly. Not to mention the cleanup! We literally didn't have to do a thing! The

Recently had our home windows fully replaced and a new front door installed. The quality and installation by Acadian Windows far exceed our expectations. Seventeen windows all custom sizes fit beautifully and the new front door enhanced the look of the house 200%. The crew that installed were wonderful and worked with us as we moved pets around the house during installation. Everything was cleaned and taken away leaving no mess for us to do. Recommend Acadia Windows by rating them a 5 gold stars!
