New Orleans Sits Below Sea Level, and Storms Prove It

Much of New Orleans rests at or below sea level, which is why Hurricane Katrina in 2005 still anchors how this city thinks about storm preparation. A failed window doesn’t just break glass; it opens the building envelope to wind-driven rain and pressure that can lift a roof. Whether your home is a historic Uptown raised cottage or a mid-century Lakeview rebuild, the openings are where storms get in first.

Impact-resistant windows give Uptown, Mid-City, and Gentilly homeowners a permanent line of defense that doesn’t depend on anyone being home to put it up.

What Impact Glass Actually Does in a Storm

These windows use a laminated glass build, two panes bonded to a tough inner layer, so a flying branch or piece of debris cracks the glass but doesn’t punch through. The window holds in the frame and keeps wind and rain outside where they belong. That means no scramble for plywood and no last-minute trip to a sold-out hardware store the day a storm enters the Gulf.

Installed by Our Crew, Permitted in Orleans Parish

We measure each opening in person, order windows cut to that exact size, and fasten them to hold under high wind. Every job runs under Orleans Parish permitting with our own team, start to finish. Homes in local historic districts get profiles that satisfy Historic District Landmarks Commission expectations while still meeting modern storm standards.
