Impact windows in Hialeah, FL
About 77% of Hialeah homes were built before 1990, and nearly a quarter before 1960. We replace their windows with Miami-Dade NOA impact units and file the City of Hialeah permit from start to finish.
Hialeah's homes are older than most in the county. About 77% were built before 1990 and 23% before 1960, and about half of all units are in multi-unit buildings. That mix of older houses and small apartment and condo buildings is most of what we see here.
The City of Hialeah has its own permit rules. Window permits need two copies of the product approvals and a floor plan with every room labeled. Condo jobs need a notarized letter from the association president. Jobs of $2,500 or more need a recorded Notice of Commencement at the site for the first inspection. We take care of each one.
