Impact doors in Miami Beach, FL
In a Miami Beach historic district, a new door needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, and in a condo it needs the association's sign-off on design and color. We install Miami-Dade NOA impact doors and handle both.
Doors on Miami Beach's older buildings are part of their character, and the city reviews changes in the historic districts. In multi-family buildings, the association also signs off on the design, color, and materials.
Installation is watched closely too. A Special Inspector checks the buck and anchor work, or we follow the city's affidavit route with time-stamped photos, and an in-progress inspection is called in each day of the work.
