Hialeah is flat and low-lying, and past storms have left parts of it flooded for days. We install Miami-Dade NOA impact doors that close tight against wind-driven rain, and we file the City of Hialeah permit.
Doors are where water and wind find their way into a Hialeah home. The city describes itself as flat and low-lying with groundwater just below the surface, and Hurricane Irene in 1999 and the October 2000 No-Name Storm left many areas flooded for extended periods. An impact door that seals well is a good first defense against wind-driven rain.
The City of Hialeah permit for a door is the same package as for windows: two copies of the product approval, a labeled floor plan, a notarized association letter for condos, and a recorded Notice of Commencement for jobs of $2,500 or more.

If you keep shutters, Hialeah's shutter permit needs two copies of the product approvals, two copies of the design wind pressures, and the manufacturer's authorization letter. An impact door does not need shutters.
