Do you need a permit to install impact windows in Florida?+
Yes. In most South Florida municipalities, residential window and door replacement requires a building permit, inspection, and permit close-out. Typical permit fees range from about $300 to $1,500+ depending on scope. We handle permitting as part of the install process.
What is the Florida 25% rule for windows?+
Florida’s 25% rule can require that when you replace a certain portion of openings, related work must meet current code — which often means impact-rated products in wind-borne debris regions. Exact application depends on the building official and project scope. Clarify early if you planned only a partial replacement.
Are impact resistant doors required in Florida?+
In Wind-Borne Debris Regions and High Velocity Hurricane Zones, Florida Building Code generally requires impact-rated openings or approved opening protection. Coastal Miami-Dade and many nearby areas fall under stricter wind rules. We specify products that match your location’s requirements.
Is there a tax credit for installing impact windows in Florida?+
As of 2026, the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit for windows ended after December 31, 2025 for most new installs. Florida homeowners may still explore state programs such as My Safe Florida Home when funding is available, plus insurer wind-mitigation credits after documentation. We do not guarantee insurance savings or grant approval.
Do you install hurricane impact windows and doors in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach?+
Yes. We install hurricane impact windows and doors that meet Florida Building Code requirements and local county regulations across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties.
Why are hurricane impact windows and doors important in South Florida?+
Homes across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach face hurricanes, tropical storms, and wind-borne debris. Impact windows and doors help protect openings, improve security, reduce noise, and can support wind-mitigation documentation — without daily shutter deployment.
What is a Miami-Dade NOA?+
A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) shows a window or door system passed required testing for use in Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Always match the NOA to the exact configuration being installed — not just a brand name. See our Miami-Dade approved impact windows page for more detail.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes. We provide a complimentary consultation with measurements, product options, and a written estimate. We aim to respond within 2 hours, Monday through Saturday.
How do I verify your contractor license?+
Our Florida contractor license is CGC1538327. Look it up on the Florida DBPR license portal (myfloridalicense.com).
How long does an impact window or door project take?+
Timelines vary with product lead times, permitting, and HOA approvals. Many residential jobs move from signed contract to install over several weeks once products are ordered. Custom or large openings can take longer. We outline a realistic schedule during your estimate.
Who is accountable if something goes wrong after install?+
You contract with Atlantic Door Systems for the installation scope. We keep warranty terms in writing for the work we perform and remain your point of contact for callbacks related to that install — not a rotating handoff between unrelated crews.
