FAQ
Window & Door Contractors FAQs
Do impact window replacements require a permit and inspection in Florida?
Yes. Under the Florida Building Code, replacing windows and doors in existing homes typically requires a permit and inspection — even for like-for-like impact product swaps. The inspection verifies proper installation, anchor spacing, and that the product has an approved NOA (Notice of Acceptance) for your wind zone. FCC handles both the plan review and the virtual inspection.
How do virtual window and door inspections work?
Submit photos of your installation — anchor spacing, flashing, sealant, and product labels — through the myFCC Mobile app. Our licensed inspector reviews and returns results within minutes. For complex projects, live video inspections are also available. F.S. 553.791 allows inspections to be performed in person or virtually, where the applicable code does not prohibit a virtual inspection.
Can FCC verify NOA product approvals during plan review?
Yes. Our plan reviewers verify that specified window and door products have valid Florida Product Approvals or Miami-Dade NOAs for the project's wind zone. We flag any products that don't meet the required impact ratings before permit issuance — saving you from failed inspections after the work is done.
How fast are window and door plan reviews?
Most residential window and door permit packages — replacement schedules, product approval documentation, and installation details — are single-trade and typically come back from review in minutes. Commercial storefront and curtain wall reviews take 1–2 days.
