Questions

Hialeah impact window questions

What does Hialeah need on the floor plan?

Each opening's size, type, and product approval number.

Do I need a shutter permit too?

Replacements that aren't impact-rated may need a separate shutter permit.

Where do I file?

At the Building Department, 501 Palm Avenue, 2nd floor, or by email to its permits desk.

How much of Hialeah is a flood zone?

County GIS shows 51.3%, mostly zone AH.

Do older West Hialeah and Palm Springs Mile homes need custom openings?

Many mid-century concrete-block houses in Hialeah have jalousie dimensions, so we custom-order each 175 mph HVHZ window to fit the masonry opening.

Is Le Jeune in a flood zone?

Its plat sits almost entirely in zone X.

Are hurricane windows different from impact glass in Hialeah?

No. Homeowners in Palm Springs and Original town use both terms for the same 175 mph HVHZ units, and every opening permitted with Hialeah's permit office (Building Department, 501 Palm Ave, 2nd floor; filing: In person or email to the permits desk) carries Miami-Dade-accepted HVHZ approvals.

What do Hialeah homeowners pay for a single-hung?

Hialeah owners pay about $1,100 per 37×63 single-hung, permit and install included. Your total depends on frame color, glass spec and the design pressures filed with Hialeah's permit office (Building Department, 501 Palm Ave, 2nd floor; filing: In person or email to the permits desk), which vary from house to house in Palm Springs, Original town and West Hialeah.

How long does a Hialeah estimate take?

We send a written quote within 24–48 hours of measuring your Hialeah home. Each proposal itemizes opening sizes, product approval numbers and the permit fees for Hialeah's permit office (Building Department, 501 Palm Ave, 2nd floor; filing: In person or email to the permits desk).

Hialeah NOC rules?

State law requires a notice of commencement over $5,000.

Outswing doors in Hialeah?

In the HVHZ, our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Who holds the Hialeah labor warranty?

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

All of Miami-Dade is in the HVHZ, with 175 mph design wind for a Risk Category II home.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of TAS 201 and TAS 203, a 9-pound 2x4 fired at 50 feet per second, then cyclic pressure.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test, 2-gram steel balls at 130 feet per second.
  • Operable windows and doors are also tested to TAS 202 for pressure and water (FBC 2411.3.2.1), and each unit needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Florida approval covering its size and pressure. Permits applied for after December 31, 2026 fall under the 9th Edition (2026) Florida Building Code.
