Pivot and folding doors are a premium product and are priced accordingly. Contact us for a free estimate tailored to your project.

Question 3

What financing options are available for impact windows and doors?

Accepted Answer

We work with Florida PACE financing programs, which allow homeowners to finance impact window and door installations through their property tax bill with no money down and no credit score requirements. We also assist clients in applying for the My Safe Florida Home grant program, which provides up to $10,000 in matching grants for qualifying homeowners. Ask us about both options during your free estimate.

Question 4

What is the My Safe Florida Home grant program?

Accepted Answer

The My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) program is a state-funded grant that provides up to $10,000 in matching funds to eligible Florida homeowners who upgrade to hurricane-resistant features including impact windows and doors. To qualify, your home must be your primary residence, have a homestead exemption, and be insured. We help our clients navigate the application process from start to finish.

Question 5

Do impact windows and doors lower my homeowners insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes — in most cases significantly. Florida homeowners who install Miami-Dade NOA approved impact windows and doors can save 15% to 45% on their homeowners insurance premium, depending on their insurer and the percentage of openings protected. Many of our clients recover the full cost of their investment within 5–7 years through insurance savings alone. We provide all necessary documentation for your insurance company.

Question 6

What is Miami-Dade NOA approval and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) is the most rigorous hurricane product certification in the United States. Products must withstand large missile impact testing and extreme pressure cycling to earn NOA approval. Florida building codes require NOA-approved products in High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), which includes Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. All Phase Window & Door installs only Miami-Dade NOA approved products throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, and Port St. Lucie Counties.

Question 7

Are impact windows as strong as hurricane shutters?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and in many ways stronger and more convenient. Miami-Dade NOA approved impact windows are permanently installed and require no preparation before a storm. They protect your home 24/7, year-round. Unlike shutters, they also provide UV protection, noise reduction, and energy efficiency benefits every day — not just during hurricane season.

Question 8

Do impact windows really reduce noise?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Impact windows use laminated glass with a PVB interlayer that significantly reduces outside noise — typically by 30–50% compared to standard single-pane windows. Homeowners near busy roads, airports, or neighbors report a dramatic improvement in interior quiet after installation.

Question 9

Will impact windows make my home more energy efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Impact windows with insulating glass (IG) units dramatically reduce heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in Florida's heat and reducing your air conditioning load. Many of our PGT and ES Windows products are ENERGY STAR certified. Homeowners typically see a 10–25% reduction in cooling costs after installation.

Question 10

What impact window and door brands do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install products from the most trusted manufacturers in the industry: PGT Innovations, ES Windows, EAS (Eastern Architectural Systems), BHI, and Builders First Source (BFS). All products are Miami-Dade NOA approved and carry manufacturer warranties. We help you select the right product for your budget, style, and performance requirements.

Question 11

What is the difference between impact windows and impact doors?

Accepted Answer

Impact windows protect fixed and operable window openings, while impact doors protect entry points — front doors, back doors, sliding glass doors, French doors, pivot doors, and folding doors. Both use laminated impact-resistant glass and reinforced frames. For full hurricane protection and maximum insurance savings, all openings including doors should be impact-rated.

Question 12

What types of impact doors do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install the full range of impact door styles: single and double entry doors, French doors, pivot doors, sliding glass doors, and folding/bi-fold doors. All are available in a variety of frame colors, glass options, and hardware finishes to match your home's architecture.

Question 13

How long does impact window installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most full-home impact window and door installations are completed in 1–3 days depending on the size of the home and number of openings. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our team handles all prep, installation, cleanup, and final inspection.

Question 14

Do I need a permit for impact window installation in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Florida building code requires a permit for impact window and door replacements. All Phase Window & Door handles the entire permitting process on your behalf, including submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and obtaining final sign-off. You never have to deal with the building department.

Question 15

Will my home be exposed to the elements during installation?

Accepted Answer

We install one opening at a time to ensure your home is never fully exposed. Each window or door is measured, removed, and replaced in sequence. In the rare event of unexpected weather, we have protocols to temporarily secure any open openings.

Question 16

Do I need to be home during the installation?

Accepted Answer

We ask that a homeowner or authorized adult be present at the start of the installation day to walk through the project with our crew. After that, you are welcome to go about your day. We will contact you when the job is complete for a final walkthrough.

Question 17

How do I prepare my home for impact window installation?

Accepted Answer

Before installation day, please remove window treatments (blinds, curtains, shutters) from the windows being replaced, clear a 3-foot work area around each opening inside and outside, and move any fragile items away from the work areas. Our team handles all other preparation.

Question 18

Do you remove and dispose of my old windows and doors?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we remove all existing windows and doors, dispose of the old materials, and leave your home clean at the end of each day. There is no additional charge for removal and disposal.
