Impact windows and doors in Venice

Venice homes

We know Venice homes

Surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico, Roberts Bay, and the Intracoastal Waterway canal, Venice Island preserves planner John Nolen's 1926 Northern Italian Renaissance street grid along West Venice Avenue, Armada Road, and Harbor Drive, while annexed eastern communities like Venetian Golf & River Club, Milano, and Aria stretch along Laurel Road and Jacaranda Boulevard. Outside the HVHZ, a state Florida Product Approval (FL#) or optional Miami-Dade NOA rated for 150–160 mph ASCE 7-22 design wind speeds meets the Florida Building Code.

We verify your parcel's jurisdiction before filing: incorporated properties on Venice Island, Sawgrass, and the Laurel Road corridor permit through the City of Venice Building Department at 401 W Venice Avenue, whereas unincorporated Venice mailing addresses in South Venice, Venice Gardens, and Jacaranda West permit right down the road at Sarasota County's R.L. Anderson Building at 4000 S Tamiami Trail. Call 754-800-4115 for a free measure and a written quote in 24–48 hours.

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

Before you sign

Choosing a Venice impact window company

Choose a contractor that checks City of Venice (401 W Venice Ave) versus Sarasota County (4000 S Tamiami Trl) jurisdiction, knows John Nolen historic review and <= 0.45 VLT sea-turtle rules, and engineers for 150–160 mph ASCE 7-22 design wind speeds.

Three hurricanes in 25 months: Ian (2022), Helene (2024), and Milton (2024) in Venice

Venice weathered three major hurricanes in just over two years: Category 4 Hurricane Ian's northern eyewall pounded the city for hours on September 28, 2022, Hurricane Helene drove Gulf storm surge across Tarpon Center Drive and Golden Beach on September 26, 2024, and Category 3 Hurricane Milton made landfall just north at Siesta Key on October 9, 2024.

Under City of Venice Code Chapter 34 (and Sarasota County Code Ch. 54, Art. XXIII on unincorporated beaches like Caspersen Beach), all glass visible from the Gulf beach must carry <= 0.45 (45%) visible light transmittance from May 1 through October 31. In FEMA Flood Zones VE and AE, the 50% substantial improvement rule also applies, though a window and door job alone rarely approaches 50% of building value.

Windows and doors for Venice homes

Inside the John Nolen Architectural Control Districts on Venice Island, contributing Mediterranean Revival homes coordinate arch profiles and divided-lite muntins with the Historic and Architectural Preservation Board (HAPB). Along The Esplanade, Tarpon Center Drive, and Golden Beach, Gulf-front condos and coastal homes require 160 mph Exposure D pressures, <= 0.45 VLT turtle tint, and 316 stainless steel hardware, while in golf communities like Venetian Golf & River Club, Sawgrass, and Jacaranda West we prepare your HOA architectural packet before permit submittal.

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