Hurricane impact doors for your biggest openings
Your doors are the largest openings in your home, and the first to fail in a storm. Hurricane impact doors keep them sealed, secure, and code-compliant.
Hurricane impact doors are engineered and tested for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. They protect the openings most likely to fail and pressurize your home during a major storm.
What goes into a code-compliant impact door install
When we install hurricane impact doors, the work is more than swapping a slab. We pull the permit, set the door in a properly anchored frame, and use the right fasteners and embedment for your wall type, because that's what passes inspection here. The glass is laminated impact glass, two panes bonded to an inner layer that holds together when something hits it, so the door keeps its seal even after a strike.
In Broward and Miami-Dade you're inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so your door needs a Miami-Dade NOA. In Palm Beach, which is a wind-borne-debris region rather than HVHZ, we use units with Florida Product Approval rated for your design pressure. Either way we handle the permit and meet the county inspector on site. Most single-door jobs wrap in 1 to 3 days.
The everyday problems impact doors fix
Plenty of homeowners call us because the old door is the weak point. Hollow or aging entry and patio doors rattle in a storm, leak air, and force you to climb a ladder to hang shutters every time a system spins up in the Gulf. An impact door is always on. You're protected whether you're home, at work, or out of town, with no panels to store and no last-minute scramble before landfall.
There's a money side too. Laminated glass and a tight frame cut outside noise, block nearly all UV, and stop the drafts that run up your AC bill. Many homeowners also pick up wind-mitigation insurance credits once the rated door is documented at inspection. A single impact door commonly runs about $2,500 to $4,000 installed, and our own crews do every job, never subcontractors.
