Impact windows in Miami Shores, FL
74% of Miami Shores homes were built before 1960. We replace their windows with Miami-Dade NOA impact units, installed the way the village checklist spells out.
Miami Shores is a village of older single-family homes. The median home was built in 1954, and about 88% are owner-occupied.
The village's window checklist goes into installation detail. It bans grout or hydraulic cement as perimeter infill unless the product approval calls for it, wants tubs and showers shown on the plan for safety glazing, and requires a framing inspection before anything is covered.

“I had a great experience with Modern Window Solution. Another company had previously installed my windows but left the job unfinished, made several mistakes, and didn’t even pull a permit.”
