Yonkers Window Replacement provides professional impact & security glazing in Yonkers, NY for residential and commercial properties across the lower Hudson Valley. Most of what this page could sell you, we would rather argue against, so let us lead with that. If a salesperson has quoted you a hurricane-rated window package for a house in Yonkers, they have sold you a test your building will never sit.
Wind-borne debris regions are mapped along exposed coastlines where design wind speeds and open fetch make flying debris a realistic hazard. Inland Westchester, tucked against the Hudson and shielded by terrain, is not inside one. Nothing in the code applies missile-impact requirements to residential glazing here, and no inspector will ask for them.
That is not the same as saying nothing on this page is worth buying. Laminated glass is genuinely useful in this city; it is simply useful for a different reason than the brochure gives, and it is useful in different places.
Laminated glass is two panes bonded to a tough plastic interlayer. Hit it hard enough to break it and the pieces stay held on that layer instead of dropping away, so the opening stays shut. Against a hurricane that means a missile does not open your building to the storm. Against somebody with a brick it means a longer and far louder job than a pane of tempered glass, which leaves the frame all at once.
Which is why we specify laminated at grade and almost nowhere else. Ground-floor sashes, areaway windows down in a light well, anything reachable from a flat roof or a fire escape, and the rear elevations that face a yard rather than a street. That is where forced entry actually happens, and it is a small proportion of the openings in any building.
Buying it for the fourth floor is money set on fire, and the same is true of a whole-house impact package. On a per-opening basis laminated glass carries a real premium, and spending it uniformly across a building means spending most of it on windows nobody can reach.
There is a second, quieter benefit worth naming honestly. A laminated unit is stiffer and heavier than a standard one, and owners on the busier corridors do report it feels different. We are not going to put numbers on that. How a window handles noise depends on the whole assembly and on the wall around it, and a single figure quoted for one unit in a masonry wall is not something anyone can stand behind.
If security is what you actually want, glass is only part of it and often not the important part. The lock, the frame's fixing into the masonry and whether the sash can be levered are all cheaper to improve and matter more. We will look at those first, and on plenty of buildings the answer is better hardware on the existing windows and no new glass at all.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — warm-edge stainless spacer, compression bulb weatherstrip at the sash perimeter, sloped sill pan with an end dam, low-expansion foam at the perimeter shim space, polyamide thermal break in an aluminum section, argon-filled sealed glazing unit — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Yonkers and nearby communities including Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale.

Materials, equipment and how we do impact & security glazing
The difference between impact & security glazing that lasts and impact & security glazing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with warm-edge stainless spacer, compression bulb weatherstrip at the sash perimeter, sloped sill pan with an end dam, low-expansion foam at the perimeter shim space, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Yonkers job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the lower Hudson Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Yonkers Chooses Yonkers Window Replacement
- ✓We price a tall building by elevation and floor, not by a unit count. The sixth floor and the first floor of the same walk-up get different air-leakage ratings because they fail in opposite directions.
- ✓We read the sash before we quote a replacement. Where the frame and jamb are sound, re-glazing an existing sash is exempt from the energy code's replacement rules and costs a fraction of a new unit.
- ✓Nobody here needs impact-rated glazing. Yonkers sits outside any wind-borne debris region. Saying that out loud costs us work every year, and we say it anyway.
- ✓Hillside lots get surveyed for grade before we talk about basement openings. Which wall a cellar window goes in matters far more here than the numbers that go on the order form.
