Dunedin in numbers

Dunedin homes

We know Dunedin homes

Dunedin has about 36,100 residents and a median home built in 1976, per the Census, so many houses still have original aluminum windows. Homes and condos along Edgewater Drive look over St. Joseph Sound, and the causeway leads to Honeymoon Island.

Dunedin runs its own building division, so city addresses don't file with the county. We prepare product approvals and an opening layout and record the notice of commencement with the Pinellas Clerk.

We serve Pinellas County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office. Roofing is Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach only.

Helene along the sound

Helene's surge on the Pinellas Gulf coast reached about 6.7 to 7.3 feet above MHHW at USGS sensors, per the NHC report.

Lots along Edgewater Drive and near the causeway can map FEMA AE or VE. In flood zones, if your permitted improvements reach 50% of the home's value, the house must meet current flood elevation rules. A window job alone rarely gets there.

Windows and doors for Dunedin homes

Sound-facing condos and homes on Edgewater Drive take higher exposure pressures. Inland mid-century homes usually get full-frame swaps.

Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Grants and insurance

My Safe Florida Home and your wind-mitigation form

If you qualify for My Safe Florida Home, the state pays $2 for every $1 you pay, up to $10,000, after the program's free wind-mitigation visit (Fla. Stat. §215.5586). How the program works.

Impact windows and doors count as opening protection, Question 7 on the state's wind-mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802. A licensed inspector fills it out after the work, and your insurer sets the discount.

Questions

Dunedin impact window questions

Is Dunedin in the HVHZ?

No. It's in the wind-borne debris region at 145 mph. A Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade NOA is accepted.

Who issues the permit?

The City of Dunedin Building Division for city addresses.

Does Republic install roofing in Dunedin?

No—in Dunedin we install impact windows and exterior doors only. Roofing is Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach only.

Can a Dunedin condo or HOA say no to impact windows?

No. Under § 718.113(5) and § 720.3035(6), Dunedin associations review frame finish and muntin style, not whether you upgrade to impact glass.

What glass ratings do I need?

Climate Zone 2: SHGC 0.25 or lower and U-factor 0.40 or lower.

Is there a labor warranty for Dunedin installations?

The lifetime labor warranty covers you, the original owner. It doesn't pass to a new owner if you sell.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

Pinellas County is outside the HVHZ. Its local amendment sets 145 mph for Risk Category II countywide, above the 140 mph mark that puts the entire county in the wind-borne debris region.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
  • Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.

  • Edgewater Drive homes facing St. Joseph Sound take higher coastal exposure pressures than inland streets.

  • Dunedin's Building Division accepts Florida Product Approvals and Miami-Dade NOAs.
