New impact front door on a South Florida home in bright daylight

Doors are a common weak point in a storm. Impact doors give your largest openings the same protection as impact windows, with finishes that lift your home’s curb appeal.

What goes into a real impact door install

A door is heavier and works harder than a window, so the install has to match. We pull the old unit, check the opening for rot and out-of-plumb framing, and set the new door in a reinforced frame anchored to the structure, not just the trim. Entry and French doors get multi-point locks and a properly pitched threshold so wind-driven rain drains out instead of pooling at your feet. Sliders ride on heavy-duty rollers and a leveled track so a wide panel still glides with one hand.

Most door jobs run one to three days, depending on how many openings and whether the frame needs work. We protect floors, seal off the area, and patch the stucco and interior around the opening before we leave. Our own crew does all of it, no subcontractors, and you get the signed-off county inspection paperwork when the job is done. A single-panel impact door commonly runs about $2,500 to $4,000 installed, depending on style and glass.

Code and insurance, county by county

Your doors are usually the largest openings in the house, which is exactly why code treats them seriously. In Broward and Miami-Dade you are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so doors have to be impact-protected or shuttered, and every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA tested for large-missile impact and pressure cycling. Palm Beach sits in the wind-borne-debris region, where doors carry Florida Product Approval instead of an NOA. Either way, we pull the permit and handle the inspection.

There is a money side too. Code-approved impact doors factor into the wind-mitigation credits insurers look at, since an unprotected door can let storm pressure into the house and lift the roof. Once your doors are rated, those openings are covered 24/7 and you can retire the shutters that used to go on them. We hand you the NOA or product-approval paperwork and the inspection sign-off your carrier needs to apply the discount.
