Why impact doors
How they open
These are the six doors we install: French doors that swing open (our front entry doors too), sliding glass doors that glide on a track, solid fiberglass entry doors, garage doors, pivot doors for oversized entries, and bifold doors that fold open a whole wall.
Lines we install
We install impact doors from these brands. We pick the line and size for each opening by county, design pressure, and how you want the door to open.
Side by side
| Type | Opens | Glass and light | Space needed | Relative price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| French door | Hinged glass doors that swing open, single or double. This includes front entry doors. | Full laminated glass | Swings open, so it needs clear floor space for each leaf | Mid; a double costs more than a single | Front entries, patios, and pool decks where you want a classic swinging glass door. |
| Sliding glass door | Glass panels that slide along a track. Nothing swings into the room. | Full laminated glass | Slides on its track, so nothing swings into the room | Low to mid for two panels; each extra panel adds cost | Patios, pool decks, and balconies where a swinging door would hit furniture or railings. |
| Fiberglass door | A hinged fiberglass entry door, solid or with a glass insert. | Solid slab, or an impact glass insert | Swings open, so it needs clear floor space | Low to mid; the price range is wide because slabs, glass inserts and hardware vary | Front entries where you want a solid, traditional door look with more privacy than full glass. |
| Garage door | A sectional overhead door rated for hurricane wind and debris. | Solid sections or full glass | Rolls up overhead, so it needs ceiling space in the garage | Mid for a solid door; full glass is quoted after a free in-home measure | Garages where you want the opening rated for wind-mitigation credit. |
| Pivot door | One oversized panel that turns on top and bottom pivots instead of side hinges. | One large laminated glass panel, or a solid panel | Turns on a pivot set in from the edge, so part of the panel swings each way | High; a pivot door is the costliest door type we install | Statement front entries with a tall, wide opening and a covered porch or overhang. |
| Bifold door | Hinged glass panels that fold together and stack to the side, opening most of the wall. | Full laminated glass across every panel | The panels fold and stack to one or both sides, so the stack needs room | High; the price grows with width and panel count | Wide patio, lanai, and pool-deck walls where you want the room to open up to the outside. |
Relative price compares door types of a similar size and glass. The quote for your house depends on each opening.
Laminated glass
Everyday benefits of the glass, like quieter rooms and less UV fading, are in What impact doors do for your home.
HVHZ, NOA, and pressure
Doors follow the same rules as windows. Every impact door we install is approved for the county it goes into and rated for the wind pressure at that exact opening. In Miami-Dade and Broward that means a rating for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
Check any door's approval yourself in the Florida Building Commission product approval search or the Miami-Dade product control search.
Wind mitigation
Florida law (section 627.0629) requires home insurers to build discounts for wind-mitigation features into their rates. Impact doors count as opening protection on the state's wind-mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802, which a licensed inspector fills out after the work.
The top opening-protection credit usually needs every glazed opening rated, including the doors and the garage door. Your insurer and your policy decide the final number.
After the job we give you the product approvals and the closed permit, which is what the form needs.
The grant is a state program. If you're approved for the grant, we can quote and install the work as your licensed contractor.

Twelve counties
We install from our office at 2901 SW 3rd Ave STE 1B, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315, in 12 counties. Miami-Dade and Broward are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
Impact doors in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines and more. Each city page covers its permit office, HOA rules and door prices.
Six types: French doors, including front entry doors, sliding glass doors, fiberglass entry doors, garage doors, pivot doors, and bifold doors. We install several door brands, and every door we install is approved for the county it goes into, with a Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance.
Front entry doors come two ways: glass French-style doors or solid fiberglass doors. A single French door is $2,800–$4,000 installed and a double is $3,800–$7,000. A single fiberglass entry door is $2,200–$5,500. These are typical installed prices, and yours depends on size, glass and options.
In the HVHZ, our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing. Outside the HVHZ, fiberglass doors can also swing in where their product approval allows. We confirm the swing for each opening when we measure.
Standard impact doors come with a double bore lockset, which is a handle plus a deadbolt. A three-point multipoint lock is an optional upgrade that usually adds about 10–15% to the door's cost. Most aftermarket smart locks won't fit a three-point lock, so decide before we order the door.
Single French doors are $2,800–$4,000 and double French doors $3,800–$7,000 installed. Two-panel sliding glass doors are $2,500–$3,500, plus about $600–$800 for each extra panel. Single fiberglass doors are $2,200–$5,500, solid garage doors $2,800–$4,200, pivot doors $12,000–$22,000, and bifold doors $12,000–$20,000. These are typical installed prices, and yours depends on size, glass and options.
Yes. Miami-Dade and Broward are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every door we install there carries a Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance rated for that zone. You can look up each approval yourself on the Florida Building Commission or Miami-Dade product control sites.
They can. Impact doors count as opening protection on the state's wind-mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802. The top credit usually needs every glazed opening rated, including the doors and the garage door. A licensed inspector fills out the form after the work, and your insurer decides the final number.
No. An impact door is tested and approved as one unit, door and frame together, with the anchors set into the wall the way the approval shows. So we take out the old door and frame and install the new approved unit. The stucco, drywall, or trim around the opening is touched up after.
They're tested for it. Each approval lists a water test pressure, the wind-driven rain the slider resisted in the lab. A taller sill usually earns a higher rating, and a low or flush sill a lower one. On an exposed wall we check the rating for the opening, and an overhang helps.
A low threshold, yes, on some approved sliders, but a lower sill usually carries a lower water rating. A pet door is harder: cutting one into an impact door or its glass voids the approval, so it would need its own approved product. Ask us at the measure and we'll check what's approved for your opening.
For the top class, yes. Question 9 of the state wind mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802, counts garage doors as openings. The top answer, A.1, needs every non-glazed opening, including the garage door, impact-rated. A garage door rated for wind pressure only (Level D) gives A.2, and an unrated one gives A.3. Your insurer sets the discount for each class.
One door is often a few hours, and several doors take a day or two. We pull the permit, and the building department sets the review schedule. The in-home estimate is free, and the quote is usually back within 24–48 hours after we measure.
Yes. Replacing an exterior door takes a building permit in every county we serve, and we pull it under our license. If you live in an HOA or a condo, we prepare the association's application too. The building department sets the review schedule, and we close the permit after sign-off.

I had Republic Impact Windows; Doors & Roofing do my windows. Matt's crew is the best, Maria and everyone I spoke with on the phone was knowledgeable & helpful. They did a wonderful job and left everything perfect and clean! They just need to come back and due the touch up paint. I would definitely recommend them, and I have done just that. A neighbor saw what a great job was done, and I passed along Ryans card & she is also getting windows from Republic Windows, Doors, And Roofing.
The team at Republic Doors and Windows was a good team to work with. They were responsive and timely in their communication. Install action was smooth and they were clean and tidy hauling away all the construction debris.
From start to finish, the team of Republic Windows, Doors, & Roofing truly exceeded ALL of our expectations! We had 4 companies bid to replace our condo's sliding doors and windows. Their pricing was on the lower end of competitive BUT not the lowest price. From the onset, the interaction we had with their sales manager, Ryan Didato, was terrific. He was on-time, patient, took his time to walk/talk us through everything, explained the process from start-to-finish, and was available to answer calls/questions I had following our initial interaction. He also didn't "hard sell" us AT ALL which I 100%++++ appreciate. He's the definition of a professional and has the patience of a Saint. After signing our contract, their office team including Debbie, Yiseth, and company took care of everything including submission of plans to HOA and the City of Pompano Beach. They continued to keep us informed regarding ordering windows, etc., as our windows and doors are not standard = all custom. Thank you! Next up: installation. Matheus was the lead on our installation working in tandem with Carlos. WOW! Responsible, respectful, and do they know what they are doing!!! They also covered EVERYTHING before starting to help minimize concrete, drywall, and wood dust. Yes...you will still have some but did they ever help alleviate a lot of clean-up work. They also cleaned up when they finished each day. They didn't take break-after-break...they remained focused and steady = they didn't rush. They did it RIGHT! Plus Matheus has an INCREDIBLE play list on his boom-box that we all enjoyed!! To close, I have remodeled 6 different homes/condos here in the greater Fort Lauderdale area including putting in impact windows and doors. This was BY FAR the best experience from start-to-finish I have ever had. And the sliding doors which are really large open and close the smoothest I've ever had! On behalf of my 85 year old father, my 55 year old special needs sister, our fur-baby Dolly...THANK YOU ALL for making this such a positive experience the entire way through. We will 100% recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, reputable, fair priced company for high quality impact windows and doors! Christopher Tompkins
