Why it matters

The patio doors are the opening that matters most.

A sliding or French door is the largest single opening in most Florida homes — the place where impact rating, water sealing, and hardware get tested hardest. Done right, it glides with one hand, keeps the rain out, and passes inspection. Done wrong, it sticks, it leaks at the threshold, and it fails the county. Here's where it usually goes wrong:

The slider sticks — and leaks

It takes two hands to open, and the floor by the track is wet after every hard rain.

"We just stopped using that door."

Water finds the threshold

The biggest opening is the weak point — if water gets in anywhere, it's at the patio doors.

"It only leaks when the wind drives the rain."

Shutters don't fit the span

There's no good way to cover twelve feet of glass twice a year — impact rating ends the ritual.

"How do you even shutter a wall of glass?"

The last crew failed inspection

They set the frame but skipped the sill-pan and threshold detail, and the county sent them back.

"They didn't know what the inspector wanted."

Our approach

We seal the opening — not just set the frame.

Nineteen years of impact-door installs in South Florida means we detail the parts the inspector and the next storm actually test.

A patio door is the largest single penetration in the wall, so we treat it that way. We detail the sill pan and threshold, seal the frame to the substrate, and water-test the opening before we call it done — the difference between a door that's rated and a door that's actually dry.

Every door carries a documented Florida Product Approval — and a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) where the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone in Broward and Miami-Dade requires one. We engineer to your elevation's design pressure, hang the panels true so a wide multi-slide glides with one hand, and finish with three-point stainless locking. The crew on your house is ours — W-2 employees, never day labor.

  • Florida Product Approval cited per product on every quote
  • Sill-pan + threshold detailing and a post-install water test on every opening
  • Design-pressure engineering matched to each elevation
  • Three-point stainless locking — hung true to glide with one hand
  • In-house crews only — no subcontracted day labor
  • Two Florida licenses — CGC1525402 & CCC1337755 — and a signed OIR-1802 for your insurer

Insurance savings

Impact doors lower your premium too.

Impact-rated doors qualify for the same wind-mitigation credit as impact windows — roughly 15–40% off the wind portion of your insurance premium on most Florida policies. We hand you the signed OIR-1802 wind-mitigation form your carrier needs to apply it.

Questions

Impact door FAQs.

Are your impact doors certified to Florida code?
Yes. Every door we install carries a documented Florida Product Approval, and a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) where the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requires it. We cite the approval number per product on your quote.
Can you replace my old slider with a wider opening?
Often, yes — but widening an opening can affect the load path, so it may need an engineer's sign-off and a structural permit. We assess the header and opening at the in-home consult and handle the permitting either way.
How long does a door install take?
Most single sliding or French door swaps are a one-day install once the product is in and the permit is pulled; large multi-slide systems can run longer. We give you a realistic schedule at the consult.
Will impact doors lower my insurance?
For most Florida homeowners, impact-rated doors and windows together trigger a wind-mitigation credit of roughly 15–40% off the wind portion of the premium. We provide the signed OIR-1802 form your carrier needs.
Can you match my HOA requirements?
Yes. We prepare the architectural-review submittal to match your community's approved styles and finishes, and coordinate with the board so the install clears review.
