Updated August 2026. The expensive mistake on Florida impact work is usually the spec, not the sticker. Statewide Windows & Doors bids openings with a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA that matches sizes and design pressures. Call (561) 816-4010.

Five mistakes we still see

  1. Buying the lowest line item. A bid that skipped permit, waterproofing, or a matching approval is not cheaper. Compare the spec.
  2. Ignoring who sets the units. The assembly only performs if it is anchored and flashed to the approval. Ask who is on the house. See 8 questions before you hire.
  3. Skipping the approval paperwork. ENERGY STAR stickers do not replace a Florida Product Approval. Code and HVHZ vs wind-borne debris region come first.
  4. Leaving openings uncovered. One cheap slider can undo the wind-mitigation form. See every window.
  5. CBS without waterproofing. See block waterproofing.

We do not promise a lower electric bill from an energy rating alone.
