What the City of South Miami checks
The City of South Miami requires separate permits for exterior doors, windows, and shutters, so a job that replaces both windows and a front door means two permits. Each one needs two copies of the NOA, two sketches of the house showing the openings being replaced, and two signed and sealed wind load calculations. The city accepts a generic table with different scenarios for those calculations. The city's Historic Preservation Board reviews Certificates of Appropriateness for designated historic districts and sites, so we check your address before we plan. Every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the county's 175 mph design wind speed.
