Old Tampa Bay surge

Helene raised water 5 to 7 feet above ground inside Tampa Bay in September 2024, per the NHC report.

Bayfront lots can sit in FEMA AE zones. 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 Safety Harbor homes

Bayfront walls take higher exposure pressures. Around Main Street we size units to keep the look of older homes.

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

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.

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.
