Impact Entry Doors
Quick answer
Pain point we hear constantly
Homeowners see quotes that swing wildly — sometimes because sidelights, glass, and hardware were never compared apples to apples.
We show comparable planning ranges up front, confirm Miami-Dade approvals when required, and lock the measured scope in writing with no surprise fees.
When impact entry doors make sense
Front and side entries take daily use and storm exposure. If your current door sticks, leaks, or failed a wind-mitigation lookover, an impact-rated entry is often the cleanest upgrade. Homeowners also choose impact entries when they want better security and curb appeal without relying on temporary storm panels.
Miami-Dade and wind-zone notes
In Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, products should carry a current Notice of Acceptance that matches the size, glass, and installation details being used. We help you select entry systems appropriate for your design pressure — not just a showroom look. Always verify the NOA against the exact configuration before you order.
What affects entry door pricing
Price moves with slab material, glass package, finish, sidelights, transoms, and whether the rough opening needs repair. Coastal HVHZ packages can land higher than inland options. A free on-site measure gives you a locked written quote instead of a phone guess.
Install and permit timeline
Manufacture commonly takes several weeks depending on series and finishes. Most residential entry replacements install the same day once product arrives. We pull the permit, schedule inspection, and work toward close-out so paperwork does not stall after the door goes in.

Many projects land about $2,000–$5,500 installed. Sidelights, premium glass, and coastal HVHZ packages can run higher. Final price needs a measured written estimate.
Are impact entry doors Miami-Dade approved?+

Yes, in most South Florida cities. We handle permitting and inspection coordination as part of the install process.
Are fiberglass impact doors good for humid climates?+
Fiberglass is a popular South Florida choice because it resists moisture better than many wood options. We help you compare materials for your exposure and style goals.
Can you install a smart lock on an impact entry?+
Often yes, when the door and hardware package allow. We confirm compatibility before install day.
