Impact windows and doors in Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade wrote the book on impact products: the county's Product Control office issues the Notice of Acceptance (NOA) that the rest of South Florida relies on. Every city here is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and homes are designed to the highest wind speed in the region.

Do I need a Miami-Dade NOA?
Products must be approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. A Miami-Dade NOA is the standard here, and some city checklists also accept Florida Product Approval for that zone. We confirm what your city accepts before ordering.
I live in an unincorporated area. Who issues my permit?
Miami-Dade County does. We file it with the county the same way we file with a city.
Do you serve all of Miami-Dade?
Yes. From Aventura and Sunny Isles down to Homestead, we install across the county.
