About 69% of Surfside homes were built before 1990. We replace their windows with Miami-Dade NOA impact units in glass and frames that fit the town's design guidelines.
Surfside's homes are older than the county average: about 69% were built before 1990 and 35% before 1960. The town also has design guidelines that shape what the new windows can look like.
Glass must be clear or lightly tinted, never dark or reflective, and window styles and frames should match on every side of the building. The permit needs product approvals for every window, door, and mullion and a design pressure for each opening.
Surfside's design guidelines say glass may be clear or lightly tinted but never darkly tinted or reflective, and window styles and frame materials should be consistent on all elevations.
