Baytown's climate zone, in plain terms
Baytown falls in IECC climate zone 2A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Chambers County into its Southern zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in Baytown.
A Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.

What FEMA's risk data says about Baytown
FEMA rates Chambers County's hurricane risk as Relatively Moderate and its wind risk as Relatively Low.
Neither rating changes a window's energy label, but both are exactly what impact-resistance and design-pressure ratings are built to answer for a Baytown home.
Ask specifically about design pressure and impact rating for Baytown, not just energy performance, if either risk rating comes back on the high side.
- Hurricane
- Relatively Moderate
- Strong wind
- Relatively Low
- Winter weather

The order below weighs a Google rating against its review count, the same way this site weighs a U-factor against a brochure claim: on the number, not the name. Treat it as a rating, never as proof of a license, bond or HVHZ approval.
