Yes. Statewide Windows & Doors installs impact windows and doors throughout Miami-Dade and Broward County and has completed thousands of home improvement projects across these two South Florida counties.
Miami-Dade and Broward also make up Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), where windows, doors and other exterior building components are subject to some of the state's most demanding wind and product-approval requirements.
For homeowners, that makes choosing the right products—and a contractor experienced with South Florida installations—especially important.
Statewide Has Completed Thousands of Projects in Miami-Dade & Broward
Statewide doesn't simply include Miami-Dade and Broward on a service-area map.
We've completed thousands of home improvement projects throughout these two counties, including impact window and door installations in communities across South Florida.
Our experience includes projects throughout areas such as:
- Miami
- Hialeah
- Homestead
- Kendall
- Doral
- Miami Gardens
- Coral Gables
- Fort Lauderdale
- Hollywood
- Pembroke Pines
- Miramar
- Coral Springs
- Pompano Beach
- Plantation
- Deerfield Beach
That matters because experience in the HVHZ isn't simply about knowing what the building code says.
It's about working with real South Florida homes.
Opening sizes, window configurations, substrates, required design pressures, product approvals and installation conditions can vary considerably from one property to another.
After completing thousands of projects in Miami-Dade and Broward, our experience with South Florida homes isn't theoretical—it's something our teams work with every day.
What Is the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone?
Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, commonly called the HVHZ, consists of Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
Homes in these counties are subject to additional requirements designed around the severe wind conditions that can occur during hurricanes.
For an impact window or door project, several factors can matter, including:
- Product approval
- Impact resistance
- Design pressures
- Window or door size
- Opening configuration
- Glass and frame system
- Mullions
- Anchoring
- Fastener spacing
- Substrate conditions
- Installation specifications
- Permitting and inspections
This is why choosing an impact window isn't as simple as selecting a piece of hurricane glass.
The window, frame, glass, anchoring and installation work together as a system.
Can Statewide Work in the HVHZ?
Yes.
Statewide performs impact window and door replacement projects throughout both Miami-Dade and Broward County.
Being a company that serves homeowners across Florida doesn't prevent a contractor from performing work within the HVHZ.
What matters is whether the contractor is properly licensed for the work and whether the products, specifications, permitting and installation for the individual project satisfy the applicable requirements.
For homeowners, that's a much more useful distinction than whether a company describes itself as a "Miami contractor," "Broward contractor" or "statewide contractor."
Does My Window Need a Miami-Dade NOA?
This is where South Florida window requirements are frequently misunderstood.
A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) is one recognized product-approval pathway for products used within the HVHZ.
But a Miami-Dade NOA is not the only possible approval pathway.
A qualifying Florida Product Approval specifically approved for use within the HVHZ can also provide an approval pathway.
The distinction is important.
A homeowner shouldn't simply ask:
"Does this window have a Florida approval?"
A better question is:
"Is the specific product and configuration being proposed approved for my application within the HVHZ?"
We've covered this subject in greater detail in our guide to Miami-Dade NOAs vs. Florida Product Approvals, including what homeowners should look for when reviewing products for an HVHZ project.
Impact-Rated Doesn't Automatically Mean Right for Every Home
Another important distinction is that the words "impact window" don't tell you everything you need to know about whether a particular window is appropriate for a particular opening.
The exact product matters.
So can its:
- Size
- Configuration
- Glass package
- Frame
- Design pressure
- Installation method
- Anchoring requirements
- Limitations of use
A window system may be available in many sizes and configurations, but that doesn't mean every possible configuration carries identical approvals or performance ratings.
That's one reason Statewide evaluates the actual project rather than simply recommending the same window for every South Florida home.
We've Actually Installed Impact Windows in Miami-Dade
Homeowners don't have to take our word for it.
Statewide has completed projects throughout Miami-Dade County, including documented impact window and door installations in Miami.
One example is a Miami project where our team replaced older non-impact openings with impact windows and a new sliding glass door.
You can view an example on our completed projects page.
That individual project is only one example within thousands of projects Statewide has completed across Miami-Dade and Broward County.
Real-world experience is important because homes throughout South Florida vary tremendously—from older single-family homes to newer construction, townhomes, waterfront properties and homes with large or unusual openings.
What About Broward County?
The same answer applies to Broward.
Statewide installs impact windows and doors throughout Broward County, including Fort Lauderdale and surrounding communities.
Broward is part of the HVHZ just like Miami-Dade, so homeowners there should pay the same attention to product approvals, design pressures, installation specifications, permitting and inspections.
Statewide's Broward service area includes communities such as Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Plantation and Deerfield Beach.
What Impact Window Brands Does Statewide Install?
Statewide works with established impact window and door manufacturers and offers both aluminum and vinyl systems depending on the needs of the project.
Our available products include options from manufacturers such as:
- ESWindows
- Pella
- Custom Window Systems (CWS)
- PGT
Available configurations can include:
- Single-hung windows
- Horizontal roller windows
- Picture windows
- Casement windows
- Architectural and specialty windows
- Sliding glass doors
- Impact-resistant exterior doors
We don't believe homeowners should select a window solely because of the manufacturer's name.
The right question is whether the specific product and configuration is appropriate for the home.
What About Permitting?
Impact-window projects in Miami-Dade and Broward typically involve permitting and inspections.
The permitting process helps establish that the products and installation proposed for the property meet the requirements applicable to that project.
Depending on the installation, documentation can address things such as:
Product approval → Opening size → Design pressure → Configuration → Anchoring → Installation → Inspection
Statewide coordinates the permitting and installation process for our window and door replacement projects.
For homeowners, that means you shouldn't have to become a building-code expert just to replace your windows.
You should, however, feel comfortable asking your contractor what products are being proposed and why they're appropriate for your home.
How Should I Compare Impact Window Contractors in Miami-Dade or Broward?
Rather than choosing a contractor simply because its office is located closest to your house, look at the qualifications and experience that actually affect your project.
Ask prospective contractors:
- Are you properly licensed for this work?
- Do you regularly complete projects in Miami-Dade or Broward?
- How much experience do you have working within the HVHZ?
- Who handles the permit?
- What exact window or door system are you proposing?
- What product approval covers it?
- Is that product approved for the intended HVHZ application?
- Does the proposed configuration meet the requirements for my openings?
- Who performs the installation?
- Who coordinates the inspection process?
And don't be afraid to ask a contractor to show you completed projects.
A contractor's actual project history tells you considerably more than marketing language about being a "local specialist."
Does Statewide's Larger Service Area Mean Less South Florida Experience?
No.
Serving a larger geographic area and having extensive experience in Miami-Dade and Broward aren't mutually exclusive.
Statewide has grown beyond a single local market, but Miami-Dade and Broward remain markets where we've completed thousands of projects.
That scale also gives us experience with different home styles, building conditions, window systems and installation situations throughout Florida.
For a Miami-Dade or Broward homeowner, the question shouldn't be how many counties a contractor serves.
The question should be:
Does this company have substantial experience completing the type of project I need, in the area where I live?
For Statewide, the answer in Miami-Dade and Broward is yes.
Can Statewide Install Impact Doors and Sliding Glass Doors Too?
Yes.
Statewide installs more than replacement windows.
Depending on the project, homeowners can replace multiple exterior openings with:
- Impact windows
- Impact entry doors
- Sliding glass doors
- French doors
- Other qualifying exterior door systems
This can be particularly useful for older South Florida homes where some openings have been upgraded over the years while others remain unprotected.
