Protection · Light · Security

Four reasons the doors come first

Doors are the largest glazed openings in the house and the first thing a storm tests. Replacing them changes how the home protects itself, how it opens to the outside and how it locks up at night.

Protection that stays put

Laminated impact glass in a rated frame, tested to ASTM E1886 and E1996 for large missile impact. No panels to carry from the garage, nothing to bolt on when a storm is named.

Bigger openings, more light

Sliding and multi-slide systems reach widths ordinary doors never could. More glass, thinner frames, and a living room that ends at the pool instead of at a wall.

Everyday security

The laminated interlayer keeps the glass in the frame even when it breaks, and multi-point locks anchor the panel at several heights instead of one latch.

Comfort and efficiency

Low-E coatings and insulated laminated glass are designed to reduce heat transfer through the largest glass areas of the house, which is where most of it happens.

The brands behind our doors

Three Florida door lines, one accountable installer

We only quote door systems we can order, install and service under our own dealer accounts. All three build for Florida wind zones and publish their approvals, so every quote carries real numbers.

Why impact doors, and why here

The biggest openings in the house need the strongest assembly

All four counties we serve sit inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so the Florida Building Code requires opening protection on glazed doors just like it does on windows. A sliding glass door is usually the largest glazed opening in the whole house, and the code does not care that it moves. It has to take the same debris impact and the same pressure cycles.

Size is what makes doors different. A run of glass panels several feet wide catches far more wind load than any window, so the engineering lives in the parts you do not see: the depth of the frame, the interlocks between panels, the sill, and how many anchors tie the assembly into the structure. That is why the approval covers the complete assembly, never the glass alone.

Miami-Dade and Broward are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Palm Beach and Martin are not. The required approvals and test protocols change at that line, and we specify to the county your home is actually in. The approval number goes on your proposal.

Product range

The door systems we install

Every opening gets measured and specified to its structure and its exposure. These are the systems we quote, order and install week after week.

Sliding glass doors

Two, three and four panel sliders for the standard patio opening. The straight replacement for the aluminum doors most South Florida homes still run on their original tracks.

Multi-slide and pocket doors

Panels that stack behind one another or disappear into the wall. The system that opens a whole elevation to the lanai when the structure above can carry it.

French doors

Hinged pairs with laminated glass, inswing or outswing. The traditional look for Mediterranean and transitional homes, with multi-point locking as standard.

Entry doors

Impact rated front doors with laminated glass, full or partial lites, sidelites and transoms, hung on frames anchored for coastal wind loads.

Pivot doors

Oversized single leaves that rotate on a floor and head pivot instead of side hinges. An entrance statement that still carries an impact rating as one engineered assembly.

Residential storefront systems

Aluminum storefront framing adapted to the modern home: fixed glass walls, corner glazing and entrance systems from the commercial side of our shop.

Close-out documentation

What you are holding when we drive away

A door job is not finished when the last panel slides. It is finished when the paperwork is in your hands and the permit is closed.

A permit that is closed, not just pulled

Plenty of jobs get a permit opened and never inspected. We submit the package, meet the inspector at the end and close it out. An open or missing permit surfaces later, when you sell the house and the title work pulls the county record.

You get the final inspection on file, in your name, on your address.

An approval number for every door

Each door leaves with its Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number, tied to the exact system installed in that opening: panels, frame, hardware and anchors as one approved assembly.

Keep that list. It is the only proof of what is actually in your walls, and the next buyer of the house will ask for it.

Questions we get every week

Impact door FAQ

Can I replace just the doors, or should I do windows and doors together?

You can do either. Many owners start with the doors because they are the biggest openings and the oldest hardware in the house. If you plan to do both eventually, one combined permit saves a second permit fee, a second inspection and a second round of stucco and paint touch-ups, and the wind permit file ends up covering every opening at once. We quote it both ways so you can compare.

Do impact doors replace hurricane shutters?

On the openings they protect, yes. An impact rated door is permanent opening protection, so the panels and tracks on that opening are no longer needed. If other openings in the house still have non-impact glass, keep their protection in place until they are upgraded. Your building department and your insurer both look at the whole envelope, not one door.

How big can a sliding or multi-slide opening be?

Bigger than most people expect. Multi-panel and pocket systems reach opening widths a standard slider never could, and the exact limit depends on the series, the design pressure your elevation needs and the structure above the opening. Very large spans sometimes call for a structural review of the header, and we coordinate that as part of the job instead of leaving it to you.

What is a design pressure rating, and why does it matter more on doors?

Design pressure, or DP, is the wind load the assembly is tested to carry, positive and negative, measured in pounds per square foot. The load grows with the size of the opening, and doors are the largest openings in the house, so the anchoring schedule, the interlocks between panels and the sill matter as much as the glass. A big DP number in a brochure means nothing unless the frame, anchors and hardware are part of the same approval, which is why we always specify the complete assembly and put the numbers on your proposal.

Will a low threshold leak in heavy rain?

Water performance is part of the product approval, and the sill is where the tradeoff lives. A raised sill gives the highest water infiltration rating. A low-profile or flush sill walks easier and looks cleaner, but it gives up part of that rating. The right answer depends on how exposed that side of the house is, whether the opening sits under a roof overhang and how the patio drains. We walk you through the honest difference on your opening before you choose.

Do I need a permit to replace exterior doors?

Yes. Exterior door replacement is permitted work in all four counties we serve, and the application includes the product approval for the exact door being installed. We prepare the package, submit it and meet the inspector at the end. An unpermitted door follows the house to closing and to your insurer, so if someone offers to skip that step, walk away.

How much do impact doors cost?

The system drives the price more than anything else. A two panel slider, a four panel pocket system and a glass pivot entry are three very different jobs, and size, glass package, sill choice and structural work move the number further. We do not publish ranges we would have to walk back. We measure the openings, specify each one and give you one firm written price that includes product, permit, installation and cleanup. The estimate is free and there is no obligation.

Doing the windows too?

Most projects pair the doors with impact windows from the same manufacturers, on one permit and one schedule. One crew, one inspection, and one set of approvals covering every opening in the house.
