Impact Windows & Doors in Coral Gables

Coral Gables is the hardest city in Miami-Dade to replace windows in, and the reason is design review rather than the code. The city's Board of Architects governs how replacements look from the street, and in historic districts the original Mediterranean Revival detailing carries real weight. Muntin patterns, frame color, and profile depth all get scrutinized before anything is approved.

Many Merrick-era homes here still have their original steel casement windows, which are beautiful and completely unrated. Replacing them means finding an impact system that reproduces the narrow sightline of the original without violating the approval, and that specification work is most of the job. Going into that review with product data and finish samples in hand beats guessing at what will clear it.
