Impact Windows for Miami Condos, Planned Around Your Building

What Impact Windows Are and Who They Are For in Miami Condos

Impact windows are built to resist storm damage. They use laminated impact glass and reinforced frames to hold up against windborne debris and wind pressure.

Florida law limits how these products are sold. A product may not be advertised as hurricane or impact protection unless it is approved under the state’s product approval law. Windows are one of the covered product categories, so approval paperwork matters as much as the look.

Miami-Dade’s Product Control Section approves impact-rated products. You can see an example in this Miami-Dade product approval notice.

This guide is for three groups: owners of one condo unit, condo boards weighing a building-wide replacement, and property managers handling that work for an association. For the broader picture, read our impact windows guide for Miami.

What a Condo Impact Window Project Includes

A condo project covers every opening in the agreed scope, from the product to the final cleanup. Your written estimate should list each item below.

• Impact-rated window units sized to each opening.
• Laminated impact glass and reinforced frames.
• Locks, hardware, and sealing parts set to the product’s approved setup.
• Removal and disposal of the old windows, with interior finishes and balconies protected.
• Flashing and sealing around each opening. The Florida Building Commission analysis of the 2026 Existing Building code covers code changes for existing buildings.
• Product documentation for the permit file and the board file.
• Under Fla. Stat. § 718.113(5)(c), when a unit owner installs or replaces hurricane protection, a board may require the owner to adhere to an existing unified building scheme regarding the external appearance of the condominium.

Entry doors can join the same project. ASP Superhome also offers impact doors, which are listed as their own line items in the estimate.

Condo Association Approval: What Boards Typically Need

Your condo documents decide who approves the work. Florida law also sets rules for board approval of hurricane protection installed by unit owners.

Under Florida Statute § 718.113(5), the statutory hurricane protection duty applies to residential and mixed-use condominiums. Under Fla. Stat. § 718.113, maintenance of the common elements is the responsibility of the association, except for limited common elements assigned to the unit owner by the declaration. Where the governing documents require approval, a board may not refuse to approve a unit owner’s hurricane protection that conforms to the board’s adopted specifications.

Start with the declaration and the rules. They show who is responsible for exterior windows and doors and what the building’s appearance standards require.

Boards often ask for product specifications, approval paperwork, a written scope of work, and proof of the installer’s insurance. Our team can organize these details from your estimate so the submission is complete.

A single-unit project mostly needs board sign-off and an access schedule. Building-wide work adds scheduling across units, access to common areas, and a matching look for the whole exterior.

Permits and Miami-Dade Requirements for Impact Window Installation

Most window replacements need a building permit. Florida law makes it unlawful to alter or repair a building without first getting a permit, unless otherwise provided by law, under Fla. Stat. § 553.79.

Your estimate should show how each product will be set and secured.

Product approval matters, not just the brand name. A local building official who finds a product compliant deems it approved, within its approval and its limits, under Fla. Stat. § 553.8425. Make sure the installed product matches that approved configuration.

Timing also matters.

Larger projects can carry extra requirements. For a permit with an estimated cost of $50,000 or more, on a building in the wind-borne debris region with an insured value of $750,000 or more (or, if uninsured, a just valuation of $750,000 or more), the work must include opening protections, except roof covering replacement or repair work associated with preventing degradation of the residence, under Fla. Stat. § 553.844.

Before work starts, ask for a written scope. It should list each opening, product, and permit requirement.

How Impact Window Installation Works: Step-by-Step Timeline

Impact window installation moves through six steps. The work runs from a first visit to a final walkthrough.

1. Consultation. We visit to measure openings, review your building’s rules, and discuss your goals.
2. Written estimate. You receive the scope, product options, glass type, frame color, and exclusions.
3. Board and permit steps. If your project needs them, we prepare the board submission and permit application.
4. Order and scheduling. Products are ordered, and lead time is confirmed for your exact configuration.
5. Installation. Crews remove, set, and seal each opening, one at a time, with final checks.
6. Walkthrough and handover. You review the finished work, receive documentation, and the site is cleaned.

Board review, permitting, and product lead times set the schedule. Your written estimate lays out the timing for your project before you commit.
