The Opening That Takes the Hit
Your door is usually the largest operable opening in the wall, and in a hurricane it takes direct wind load. If a door fails or blows open, wind pressurizes the inside of the house, and an internally pressurized house is how roofs lift from within. The door is also the most common forced-entry point the other 360 days of the year.
A real impact door answers both. It's a whole assembly: laminated impact glass where there's glazing, a frame built for wind pressure, multi-point locking that grips the frame at the head, jamb, and sill, and anchoring tied into your wall to the NOA's spec. We install to that approval and the county inspects it.
We install PGT WinGuard, premium PGT WinDoor, locally built ECO Window Systems, and ES Windows, across entry, sliding-glass, and French configurations.

NOA & Florida Product Approval — and why locking matters as much as glass
A door is the opening that takes the most direct wind load in a storm, and it is the one most likely to be forced in a break-in. In the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, an impact door is only compliant when two things are true: it carries a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Florida Product Approval rated for Large Missile Impact, and it is installed and anchored exactly the way that approval specifies.
The locking matters as much as the glass. Impact doors use multi-point locking: bolts that engage the frame at the head, jamb, and sill, not a single deadbolt, so the whole door edge is held against wind pressure and forced entry. We put the approval numbers on the permit, anchor to spec, and the county inspects it. If a door quote doesn't name the approved product and its NOA, you can't verify what you're buying.

HOA architectural review — what you'll need
Many Miami-Dade communities require architectural-review approval before you change a front door or enclose a patio opening. We give you the product specifications and NOA documentation your association will want to see. Because only you can act on your HOA account, you file with the association, and we equip you with everything the submission typically requires so it goes through cleanly. Start this early; HOA timelines, not ours, are often the real schedule constraint.

What happens after you hit send
- We call you back. Someone from our office — not a subcontractor, not a call center — calls to confirm the details and, if you picked a date, whether that slot is open.
- We come out and look. The estimate is free and there is no obligation. We walk the roof or the openings, photograph what we find, and tell you honestly whether you need a repair or a replacement.
- You get it in writing. A written, itemized price. Permits, Miami-Dade NOA product approvals and HVHZ code compliance are included in it, never added on afterwards.
What our customers actually said
Verbatim from our Google Business Profile
Our new metal roof looks so sleek I keep walking outside just to look at it. Francisco and his crew knocked it out fast and i’m impressed with the result!
I was worried the paperwork would be a nightmare but they walked us through it step by step. … They replaced some rotten wood underneath and still finished on time. I feel much safer in the house now.
Our building needed a full flat roof replacement and the whole process went smoother than expected. Frank was great, crew was hard-working, kept the site tidy, and communication was clear from start to finish.
