Deerfield Beach homes

We know Deerfield Beach homes

The city's history page says a post office opened at Deerfield on June 22, 1898, for about 20 settlers, and the name was chosen for the deer along the Hillsboro River. The Town of Deerfield incorporated on June 11, 1925. The town took the Deerfield Beach name in 1939, and in 1951 it became the City of Deerfield Beach.

All of Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (FBC 2023 §1620). Each door needs a Miami-Dade NOA or an HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval.

• The Intracoastal side

  Late 1950s houses

  The city's coastal element says many single-family homes on the west side of the Intracoastal were built from the late 1950s through the early 1970s and are being renovated.

  For your doors: Those older single-family houses often have original openings, so we measure each one before ordering the door.

Wind code for doors

All of Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (FBC 2023 §1620). The engineer or the county wind load chart sets each wall's design pressure, and the door's approval has to meet it.

Doors up to 30 feet are tested with the large missile, a 9-pound 2x4. Above 30 feet, the small-missile test (steel balls) applies (FBC 2023 §1626).

Canal, lake and golf-course lots stay Exposure C. Oceanfront sites with a long open-water fetch may be Exposure D; we confirm the exposure for each address.

Under BORA Formal Interpretation #24, a house or townhouse under 30 feet can use a sealed site plan, a sealed worst-case chart, or Broward's voluntary wind-load chart. At 30 feet or more, the interpretation requires a sealed site-specific design, and generic charts are not accepted.

Condos and HOAs

Under §718.113(5) the board sets hurricane-protection specs and can't refuse a unit that follows them, though it can require the building's existing look.

Under §720.3035(6) an HOA can't deny impact doors that meet the specs it adopted.
