Which impact door brands does Republic install?
We install ECO Window Systems, PGT, ES Windows, Custom Window Systems (CWS), BHI Doors, Therma-Tru, Amarr, and Clopay. Because we aren't locked into a single manufacturer, we match the brand, frame series, and Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval to each opening's exact size and design pressure.
Does Low-E glass cost extra on impact doors, and is it worth it?
Yes. Adding a Low-E solar control coating typically adds about 8%–15% to the price of a glass impact door. Because sliding and French doors have huge glass surface areas, Republic always recommends Low-E in South Florida to cut solar heat gain, glare, and air-conditioning runtime over a 15–20+ year lifespan.
Do impact French and entry doors swing in or out in Miami-Dade and Broward?
In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (Miami-Dade and Broward counties), our hinged impact doors—French doors and front entry doors—swing outward so wind pressure pushes the slab tighter against the weatherstripping and jamb. Outside the HVHZ, fiberglass doors can also swing inward where their product approval allows.
What lock comes standard on an impact door, and what does a 3-point lock cost?
Standard hinged impact doors come with a double bore lockset (a handle plus a deadbolt). Upgrading to a three-point multipoint lock—which latches at the top, center, and bottom of the slab—typically adds 10%–15% to the door's price. Note that most aftermarket smart deadbolts only fit standard double-bore prep.
Are permit fees and old door removal included in Republic's price?
Yes. Our written quote is a complete installed price covering tear-out of the old door and frame, threshold waterproofing, HVHZ anchoring, stucco/trim touch-up around the opening, and the city or county building permit pulled under license CGC1533058.
Do impact doors qualify for the My Safe Florida Home $10,000 grant?
Yes. Exterior doors and garage doors are eligible opening-protection upgrades under the My Safe Florida Home program (Fla. Stat. §215.5586), which reimburses $2 for every $1 spent up to $10,000 for qualifying homesteads built before 2008 and insured for $700,000 or less. Grant approval must happen before work starts.
Will replacing only my doors lower my Florida homeowners insurance?
To earn the highest Opening Protection credit (Class A.1) on Florida's OIR-B1-1802 wind-mitigation form, every glazed opening—windows, glass doors, entry doors, and the garage door—must be hurricane-rated. If your windows are already impact-rated, upgrading your remaining non-impact doors and garage door unlocks the full credit.
Can I finance impact doors with $0 down?
Yes, subject to credit approval through Sunlight Financial, Service Finance, Upgrade, and Renew Financial. Plans include 12-month no-interest-if-paid-in-full (deferred interest), 10 years at 6.99% APR, and 20 years at 8.99% APR (for example, a $3,000 slider is about $27/mo over 20 years at 8.99% APR).
How long does impact door installation take?
Replacing a single entry door or patio slider typically takes a few hours on site, while a full house of doors takes one to two days once the building permit is issued and the custom-built doors arrive from the factory.
