South Miami / Doors & Windows
Product details matter.
So does the opening.
Read about glazing options and replacement scope together. Ask the installer and relevant authority which property-specific requirements and product records apply to the project.

See what moves. Know what to ask.
A sticking panel, failed glass unit and worn frame are different problems. Start with the opening that needs attention, then compare a targeted repair with replacement based on its condition.

START WITH YOUR ADDRESS
South Miami. Your property. Your questions.
Planning your work
Miami-Dade County's building department publishes separate permit checklists for replacement windows, glass doors, exterior doors and shutters. Each one asks for a completed building permit application, a frontal elevation of the exterior wall showing where the products go together with their product approval numbers, and the current Notice of Acceptance of each window, glass door, door or mullion used. The county also states that each municipality in Miami-Dade has its own building official who issues permits within that city limits. Confirm the address and the proposed scope with your own city, because Miami-Dade County states that each municipality has its own building official who issues permits within that city limits. The checklists describe what a department asks for; they do not decide whether a particular product or opening qualifies at your property.
Read the local reference ↗Local context
Miami-Dade County's permit exemption list separates small repairs from assembly replacement: repair or replacement of window glass panes is listed as exempt while window assembly replacement is stated to require a permit, and repair or replacement of exterior single and double door slabs is listed as exempt while a door together with its door frame is stated to require a permit. That list says it applies to unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so it is useful as a comparison rather than as your rule. Ask your own city how the proposed scope is classified before work starts.
Read the local reference ↗BEFORE YOU AGREE
Look for clear answers.
Can a difficult sliding door be repaired without replacing the frame?
A sticking panel can involve rollers, track damage, alignment or worn seals. Ask which condition was observed and whether compatible parts are available. A sound frame may remain in place for a targeted repair; deterioration at the sill or frame can change that scope. Compare the actual findings before choosing a complete replacement.
Does fog between panes mean the whole window needs replacement?
Moisture between the panes is different from condensation on a room-facing surface. A proposal may replace the sealed glass unit while retaining a suitable sash and frame. Ask which component has failed, how the replacement glass is specified and whether the existing frame can support the work.
How do insert and full-frame window replacement differ?
An insert retains a suitable existing frame and places a replacement unit within it. Full-frame work removes more of the assembly and exposes the opening for assessment. Compare retained materials, flashing work, trim restoration and the resulting clear opening rather than treating both proposals as the same job.
What should I compare on a window performance label?
Compare the ratings for the complete product and its suitability for the local climate and project. U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient describe different aspects of performance. Ask which specified unit the label describes; a generic brochure does not establish the rating of the product being supplied.
What information helps prepare a door or window visit?
Describe the opening, how it moves and what changed. Note whether a concern is with glass, the moving panel, hardware or the surrounding wall. If available, gather product labels, earlier invoices and photographs taken without dismantling the assembly. Explain access restrictions and keep people away from broken glass.
What should the written scope include?
Ask which units and components are included, what remains in place, how access and removal are handled, and who restores affected finishes. Confirm product specifications, disposal, weatherproofing and completion checks. Any concealed damage discovered during the work needs an explained change to the agreed scope.

BEFORE THE VISIT
Choose the right service
Ask about rollers, track condition and alignment. Difficulty moving does not identify a failed part by itself.
Read the guide →BEFORE THE VISIT
Prepare for the visit
