Impact windows are your home’s first line of defense this hurricane season. 👀

In Episode 52 of the Home Design Podcast, host Adam Kayce sits down with Jonathan Rodriguez, CEO of ASP Superhome, to uncover what truly sets impact windows and doors apart—and why quality matters more than ever.

Jonathan shares how his passion for building safer homes started after Hurricane Andrew, how he grew ASP from the ground up (literally selling his truck to get started), and why homeowners should look beyond the flashy deals to understand what’s really being installed in their walls.

He breaks down the ASP process, from first showroom visit to final install, and reveals the red flags to avoid, the myths around metal roofing, and how ASP is changing the game with a commitment to craftsmanship, service, and trust.

Whether you're building new, upgrading your home, or just want to understand what “impact-rated” really means, this episode is packed with clarity, value, and the kind of insight only a hands-on expert can deliver.
