Impact windows shipped to Sarasota, Bradenton and the Suncoast.
SmartWay ships made-to-order impact windows and doors to Sarasota and Manatee counties by UPS or freight; a delivery fee applies based on destination and size. Supply here is material-only: you provide the confirmed opening sizes, and permitting and installation stay with you and your contractor.

Counties and places covered
- Sarasota County — Sarasota, Venice, North Port, Siesta Key, Longboat Key
- Manatee County — Bradenton, Palmetto, Anna Maria Island, Lakewood Ranch
The Suncoast is a Gulf coast strip of barrier islands — Longboat Key, which straddles both counties, Anna Maria Island and Siesta Key — behind which sit the mainland cities and, further east, newer inland communities such as North Port and Lakewood Ranch.
Wind zone and building code
Neither county is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone; that zone is Miami-Dade and Broward only. Barrier-island and bayfront addresses raise the coastal-distance question in the wind-borne debris definition; mainland addresses further from the water depend on the site’s design wind speed. Confirm with the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool and the building department that covers the parcel.
Use the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool for the design wind speed at your address, and confirm with your building department.
Permits and product approval: your side of a material-only order
Permits come from the county, or from the city or town where the property sits — Sarasota, Venice, North Port, Bradenton and the island municipalities each administer their own. Product Approval documentation for the exact product accompanies the application.
On a material-only order, permitting and installation are yours or your contractor’s. Read how permits and inspections work and association approval before you order.
Delivery and receiving
Condominium towers and island communities commonly control delivery access with reserved elevator or loading windows. Line those up before the material is ordered; a made-to-order unit cannot be swapped for a different size when it arrives.
Freight and UPS delivery fees depend on destination and size and are confirmed for your address. Details: shipping and freight guide.
How to measure, and what happens to the sizes
On a material-only order, the sizes you confirm are the sizes manufactured — professional measurement is not included. Follow the measurement guide, enter each opening in the project builder, and a specialist confirms configuration details with you before anything goes to the factory. See what material-only supply means.
Manufacturing windows
- ES Windows (ESW) — typically 40 to 50 days
- Mr. Glass — typically 8 to 12 weeks
These are manufacturing windows, not delivery dates: they start when an order is confirmed, and measurement, permitting and installation scheduling sit outside them. Your specific window is confirmed during project review. Last confirmed August 24, 2026; a window that has aged is not a cautious estimate, so it carries its date.
