In Coral Gables, new windows go before the City Architect or Board of Architects before the permit. We install Miami-Dade NOA impact windows and prepare the drawings, photos, and wind loads the city asks for.
Coral Gables cares how windows look. About 37% of its homes were built before 1960, and the city reviews window changes to keep its character.
The permit asks for more than most cities. Drawings must state the color of frames, glass, and mullions. The city wants color photos of existing conditions. Wind loads must be site-specific and signed by an architect or engineer. Historic properties also get a historical approval and a final historical inspection.
