A Coral Gables front door is part of the home's approved look. We install Miami-Dade NOA impact doors in colors and styles that clear the City Architect or Board of Architects, and we handle historic review where it applies.
Entry and French doors in Coral Gables are often the most visible part of a historic facade. Replacing them with impact doors protects the house, but the city reviews how the new door looks before it issues the permit.
We take color photos of the existing door, draw the new one with frame, glass, and mullion colors, and arrange site-specific wind loads signed by an architect or engineer. For historic homes, we plan for the historical approval and final historical inspection.
Coral Gables requires City Architect or Board of Architects approval for door permits, with the color of frames, glass, and mullions stated on the drawings.
