Impact windows and doors in Sunrise

Sunrise grew from Norman Johnson's 1961 golf village into a city of 55+ condo phases, family subdivisions, and the Sawgrass district. Units carry HVHZ approval, run $800–$1,800 apiece fitted, and we take care of the board letter, the city filing, and every visit until the permit is closed out.

Sunrise homes

We know Sunrise homes

Johnson sold his first homes with an upside-down model house; later annexations pushed the city to the Everglades and south past I-595.

For windows, that means early-1960s block homes on the east, large 55+ condo phases, and newer association communities toward Sawgrass.

Golf village to Sawgrass

Sunrise areas and what they mean for windows

  • Sunrise Golf Village

    1960s core

    Johnson's model house drew 12,000 visitors in four days, and he priced his homes at $10,745 in the early 1960s.

    For your windows: The first houses are among the oldest in western Broward, so original openings and older frames are common.

    Broward County Libraries · Norman Johnson Collection

  • Sunset Strip

    Original main street

    The famous Upside-Down House stood on Sunset Strip in the original golf village; it was demolished in 1975.

    For your windows: Postwar block homes along the old core get every opening measured, since sizes vary from house to house.

    City of Sunrise · City history

  • Sunrise Lakes

    55+ condos

    Phase 2 alone, established in 1974, has 25 buildings of 36 units each, 900 homes in all.

    For your windows: Each phase and building has its own condo board specs, so we confirm whose letter you need first.

    Sunrise Lakes Phase 2 · Our history

  • Westward annexations

    1970s on

    Annexations carried the city out to the Everglades and south of I-595 as Broward pushed west.

    For your windows: Homes near open land and lakes on the west side can see higher exposure; we rate each wall.

    City of Sunrise · City history

  • Sawgrass Corporate Park

    612 acres, 1987

    The 612-acre Sawgrass International Corporate Park arrived in 1987, one of Florida's largest.

    For your windows: Nearby newer communities usually run association reviews; we prepare the package with product sheets.

    City of Sunrise · City history

  • Entertainment district

    Since 1990

    Sawgrass Mills opened in 1990 and the arena in 1998, anchoring the city's business and entertainment district.

    For your windows: Condos and townhomes near the district typically have board specs for color and glass.

Permits, four layers

Permit steps for a Sunrise home

Sunrise takes building permits through e-Plan Review in its Self-Service Portal. Here is the sequence.

  1. 1

    Approvals and wind loads

    The package lists the NOA or HVHZ Florida approval for each opening along with its design pressure.

    FBC 2023 §1626 (HVHZ impact tests)
  2. 2

    Association review

    Condo phases and HOAs review color and style first; conforming units can't be refused under state law.

    Florida Statutes §720.3035(6) (homeowners' associations)
  3. 3

    e-Plan Review

    We apply through e-Plan Review, part of the city's 24/7 Self-Service Portal; review starts once fees are paid.

    City of Sunrise · e-Plan Review
  4. 4

    Building Division sign-off

    Inspector visits follow the permit card's sequence; once the final passes and inspection approval is recorded, the city closes the permit.

Windows and doors for Sunrise homes

Condo units in the 55+ phases mostly take single-hungs and rollers; houses on the west side lean toward wide fixed panes over lakes.

Door work covers French pairs, patio sliders, fiberglass entries, and garage doors. In the HVHZ, 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 9 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

Sunrise impact window questions

Who issues window permits in Sunrise?

The Building Division within Community Development, at 10770 W. Oakland Park Blvd. We apply through e-Plan Review in the city's Self-Service Portal.

How are inspector visits booked?

Online or by phone, in the order shown on the permit card. We schedule and attend each one.

Who closes my permit?

The city. Once the final passes, inspection approval is recorded and the Building Division closes it.

I live in Sunrise Lakes. Whose approval do I need?

Your phase's condo board. Each phase is run separately, so we confirm the right board before ordering.

Can a Sunrise condo board refuse my windows?

Not if they follow its specs. §718.113(5) lets the board choose color and style, then requires approval of conforming units.

My house dates from the golf-village era. Anything different?

Early-'60s block homes often have non-standard openings; each is measured and matched to its own approval.

Is an HOA approval needed out west?

Usually. Under §720.3035(6) it can set the look but can't deny conforming impact windows and doors.

Hurricane windows or impact windows?

Same product. In Sunrise, what matters is the HVHZ approval on each unit.

What's a typical price per window?

$800–$1,800 installed for most. A 37 by 63 inch single-hung, common in condo units, is about $1,100.

Do you install impact doors in Sunrise?

Yes, from condo balcony sliders to front doors. In the HVHZ, our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Will I need a notice of commencement?

For work above $5,000, §713.135 says yes; we handle recording.

What does the warranty cover?

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

When do I get the quote?

Usually 24–48 hours after our free measure, priced per opening.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

All of Broward is in the HVHZ, with 170 mph design wind for a Risk Category II home.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test, a 9-pound 2x4 fired at 50 feet per second.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test, 2-gram steel balls at 130 feet per second, and BORA Formal Interpretation #24 asks for a sealed, site-specific design.

Condo phases, HOAs, and paperwork. Tap a topic.

Condos and HOAsPhase by phase

  • For condominiums, §718.113(5) has each board adopt hurricane-protection specs; color and style may be included, and conforming units must be allowed.

  • §720.3035(6), HOAs: a board or architectural committee can't reject impact windows and doors that follow its adopted specs.

  • In big 55+ condo communities, each phase can have its own specs, so we confirm which one governs your unit.
