Miami-Dade code
Built for the toughest wind code in the country
Miami-Dade sits in Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone. A window can only go into a home here if it has passed the county's impact and pressure testing and holds a Notice of Acceptance, the NOA.
We install approved products only, and we hand you the NOA paperwork for every window and door once the job passes inspection.

Why Miami-Dade homeowners switch to impact glass
01
Storm protection, always on
Every opening is protected around the clock, whether you are home or away when a storm turns.
02
Harder to break into
Laminated glass holds together when struck, which makes forced entry slow and loud.
03
Lower cooling load
Low-E glass options keep heat out and take some of the work off your AC.
04
Insurance credits
Protecting every opening is one of the items a wind mitigation inspection checks. Your insurer sets the amount.
05
Quieter rooms
The interlayer between the panes dampens traffic, aircraft and neighborhood noise.
06
No storm prep
No panels to carry out of the garage, no plywood, nothing to take down afterward.

Hurricane window questions
Are hurricane windows and impact windows the same thing?
Yes. Both names describe windows with laminated glass and reinforced frames that have passed impact testing. In Miami-Dade, what matters is that the product holds a current Notice of Acceptance.
How much do hurricane windows cost in Miami-Dade?
It depends on size, style and frame. As an estimate, most installed windows run $800–$2,000 per opening. Your written quote lists a price for each one. See the full cost guide.
Do I need a permit to replace windows?
Yes. Window and door replacement in Miami-Dade requires a permit and a final inspection. We file the permit, schedule the inspection and close it out.
Do I still need shutters with impact windows?
No. Approved impact windows and doors meet the county's opening protection requirement on their own. Nothing to put up or take down.
How long does the whole job take?
Windows are built to order, so most of the wait is fabrication and permitting: typically 6–10 weeks. The installation itself usually takes one to three days for a typical home.
Will impact windows lower my insurance?
They can. Florida insurers offer wind mitigation credits, and protecting every opening is one of the items inspectors check. The amount is set by your insurer.
About Miami-Dade Hurricane Windows
We are a local impact window and door installer working only in Miami-Dade County. One county means one building code, and we know it well: which products are approved, what each city's permit desk asks for, and what the inspector looks at.
The people behind the company started out in engineering. Working on buildings taught them that the doors and windows are where a house gives way first in a storm, so they turned to fitting openings that hold. You can see and touch the windows and doors at our showroom before you choose, and every install comes with a written warranty and upkeep on the units we supplied.
Call or send the form and we will set a time to measure your home.
