All of Broward Countyis in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which has the strictest wind provisions in the Florida Building Code. That shapes how every job here is done.
Approved products
We quote windows, doors, shutters, garage doors and roofing products approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, usually shown by a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance.
Installed to the approval
Anchors, fasteners and spacing follow the product's approval documents, because that is what the inspector checks.
Permit pulled and closed
Where the work needs a permit, we apply for it, schedule the inspections and close it out when the work passes.
