Davie's homes range from 1970s and 1980s ranch houses on big lots to 1990s gated communities and condo and townhome neighborhoods. The median home was built in 1989, so many have original aluminum windows that are well past their best years. Estate homes in the west often have a lot of openings, which makes a full impact upgrade a big step up from shutters.
The Town of Davie has its own Windows and Doors Checklist. It wants every opening numbered on a footprint drawing with the home's length, width, and mean roof height, a Window/Door Installation Form, the Broward wind load chart, and a notarized addendum from you and the contractor. Single-discipline window permits can go through the Wednesday walk-through, which can save weeks.
