How should I prepare for a visit to your showroom?

Know your objective and lifestyle needs; what are you looking to accomplish? Establish a time frame in which you would like to work. And have a budget in mind. Think about colors, styles, and materials you like. Collect clippings from magazines, Houzz, or Pinterest and bring photos of items and decors that appeal to you. You can also bring photos, plans for your new house, basic measurements, and anything else we might benefit from reviewing.

Can TMD Windows & Doors provide all the windows and doors for my project?

Absolutely! Windows, doors, cabinetry, and millwork are our specialties. We partner with the highest quality vendors in our industry, and we leverage those relationships and their quality guarantees to ensure that you receive the superior products you desire.

How soon can I get windows and patio doors for my home?

Lead times for residential windows and patio doors are dynamic and ever-changing. They vary based on current availability and timelines for various companies. What’s more, they sometimes change on a day-to-day basis. As a premier windows and doors supplier, we do our best to get your products to you as soon as possible.

How much will windows (or doors) for my new home cost?

Like buying a car, windows and doors come in many different categories and pricing ranges. The cost of your windows will depend on the size and type of window, the window frame material, the type and number of glass panes, performance values, the window brand, and other factors.

To continue the car analogy, whereas big box retailers offer the equivalents of a Nissan Versa or Kia Rio, we’re a windows and doors dealer offering everything from Lexus to BMW to Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, and custom Bugatti. 

Pricing for projects is based on the product line that best fits your needs. Working with your house plans, a trusted TMD advisor will recommend the best product(s) to meet your budget and architectural needs.

Do my windows need to be impact-rated?

If you reside in a region prone to strong storms or hurricanes (Hi there, fellow Floridians!), impact-rated windows can be beneficial, or even required by law. Impact-rated windows are constructed with reinforced frames and laminated glass that can resist impacts and prevent shattering. They can help safeguard your property and mitigate potential damage caused by flying objects during extreme weather events.

Even if you don’t live in a high-risk area, impact-rated windows may still be desirable for their added security benefits. Although impact-rated windows are generally more expensive than standard windows, they can potentially offer long-term savings by reducing the need for costly repairs and replacements in case of severe weather damage.

TMD will provide appropriately rated windows for both multi-family residential projects across the United States as well as your new residential home construction here in the greater Tampa Bay area.

Does TMD install windows and doors?

TMD does not provide the installations of windows and doors. However, we do have strong relationships with professional window and door installation specialists we can refer to your project.

I already have an architect, contractor, or builder, can’t they help with my residential windows and doors?

Architects and builders work with structure and building design and are not always oriented toward the nuances of residential windows and doors and the details of custom millwork or cabinetry. We are specialists who know the ins and outs – no pun intended – of interior and exterior doors and windows. The ideal scenario is to work with a design team that consists of both an architect/builder and a TMD advisor so all aspects of your project can be coordinated from beginning to end.

Does it matter how large or small my project is?

At TMD Windows & Doors, our trusted advisors can help you with a project of any size. Whether you just want to change your front door or need windows and doors for a dream house still in the design phase, we can help.

How long will our project take?

Project times vary according to the scope of the project, the brand you choose, and variables specific to your home and or timeline. That said, we are committed to helping you complete your project on time. To that end, our warehouse facility boasts a strong QA/QC program that has been carefully designed to minimize errors and damages, saving you hassle, time, and money on site.  We’ll also ensure shipping and logistics that meet your phasing schedule requirements.

Will you work with my builder, architect, contractor, or interior designer?

Yes, we are delighted to work with your builder, architect, contractor, interior designer, or tradespeople. We are can also to refer you to those who can help as well. We know that a collaborative approach with the other professionals involved in your project has your best interests at heart.
