Why Your Doors Matter More Than You Think in a Storm

Most homeowners focus on windows when they think about hurricane protection. That makes sense-windows are big, fragile, and expensive to replace. But your doors are just as vulnerable, and in some ways, they pose a bigger risk during a storm. A standard exterior door can fail under sustained winds of just 110 miles per hour. Once that door blows open or gets breached, the pressure inside your home changes instantly. The roof can lift, walls can bow, and the damage multiplies fast. We have seen it happen too many times in Palm Beach County after a direct hit. That is why upgrading to impact doors is not just about checking a box on a renovation list-it is about protecting the whole structure of your home.

The Real Cost of a Standard Door During a Hurricane

A standard hollow-core or even a solid wood door might look sturdy from the curb. But under hurricane-force winds, it is one of the weakest points in your home’s envelope. When wind presses against that door, the pressure differential tries to pull it outward. The lock mechanism takes the brunt of that force, and most residential locks simply are not designed for that kind of load. Once the door fails, you have an opening that lets wind, rain, and debris straight into your living space. The cost of that failure goes far beyond replacing a door. You are looking at interior water damage, ruined flooring, soaked drywall, and potentially mold remediation that runs into tens of thousands of dollars. On top of that, your insurance claim becomes more complicated when the adjuster sees that a non-impact-rated door failed. Many policies now have specific language about windborne debris protection, and a standard door might not meet those requirements. That could leave you paying for repairs out of pocket. We have handled enough storm damage restoration jobs in Delray Beach to know that the upfront cost of an impact door is nothing compared to the cost of cleaning up after a breach.

How Impact Doors Handle Windborne Debris

Impact doors are not just thicker versions of standard doors-they are engineered systems designed to stop projectiles traveling at high speeds. The key difference is in the glass and the frame working together as a single unit. When a piece of windborne debris like a 2×4 plank hits an impact door, the laminated glass absorbs the energy through its interlayer. That plastic layer, usually made of polyvinyl butyral or a similar material, holds the glass fragments in place even when the glass cracks. The frame must be strong enough to transfer that impact force into the wall structure without bending or breaking. Most impact doors are tested with a nine-pound 2×4 fired at 34 miles per hour. That simulates what happens during a Category 3 hurricane when loose lumber, roofing tiles, and tree branches become dangerous missiles. An impact door that passes that test will keep your home sealed even when debris is flying all around your property. We have pulled impact doors off homes after storms and seen the spiderweb cracks in the glass, but the door held. That is the difference between a secure home and a catastrophic failure.

Why 2026 Building Codes Raise the Bar for Entry Points

Building codes in South Florida have always been strict, but the latest updates raise the requirements even higher. The Florida Building Code now demands that all entry doors in high-velocity hurricane zones meet Miami-Dade County product approval standards. That is the toughest testing protocol in the country, and for good reason. The code changes came after engineers studied how homes performed during the 2022 and 2024 hurricane seasons. They found that many failures started at entry points that barely met older standards. Now, the code specifies minimum design pressure ratings for every door based on your home’s location and exposure. That means doors on a beachfront property in Manalapan need a higher rating than doors on a protected inland street in Delray Beach. The code also requires that the door assembly-frame, glass, hardware, and seal-test as a complete system. You cannot just put impact glass in a standard frame and call it compliant. The whole assembly must prove it can withstand the wind load and debris impact simultaneously. For homeowners planning renovations, this means impact door upgrades are not optional anymore if you want to meet code. And if you are doing a full renovation that requires a permit, the inspector will check every door for compliance. We help our clients navigate these requirements every day, and it is one of the reasons working with an experienced general contractor Delray Beach residents trust matters so much. For more on how these updates affect your project, check out our detailed guide on impact door building code compliance in 2026.

The Science Behind Impact Door Performance

Understanding how impact doors actually protect your home takes some technical knowledge. But you do not need to be an engineer to make a smart choice-you just need to know what matters and why. The performance of any impact door comes down to three things: the glass, the frame, and the hardware. Each component has to work with the others to create a sealed system that can handle wind, water, and debris. When one piece fails, the whole system fails. That is why we always recommend doors that have been tested as a complete assembly, not just individual components. Let’s break down what each part does and how you can evaluate whether a door will perform when it matters most.

Understanding Wind Load Ratings and Design Pressure

Wind load ratings tell you how much pressure a door can handle before it fails. The measurement is called design pressure, and it is expressed in pounds per square foot. A door with a DP rating of 50 can handle 50 pounds of pressure per square foot before it starts to deform or leak. For reference, a Category 3 hurricane can generate wind pressures over 40 pounds per square foot on a standard door. That means you want a door with a DP rating well above that threshold. The rating takes into account both positive pressure-wind pushing against the door-and negative pressure-wind pulling the door outward as it passes over your roof. Both forces matter, and the door has to resist them simultaneously. When we install impact door wind load ratings for coastal homes, we always recommend doors with a DP of at least 60 for most Palm Beach County homes. For properties on the barrier islands or near the coast, we push that to 70 or higher. The rating should be clearly labeled on the door’s certification sticker, and we always verify it before ordering. Do not trust a salesperson who says “this door is rated for hurricanes” without showing you the actual DP number. The difference between a 45 DP door and a 65 DP door could be the difference between a dry home and thousands in water damage.

Glass Thickness and Lamination: What Actually Stops a 2×4

The glass in an impact door is not regular window glass. It is typically made of two layers of glass bonded together with a strong plastic interlayer. The total thickness usually ranges from 5/16 of an inch to 1/2 an inch, depending on the door’s rating. The outer layer takes the initial hit from debris and cracks on impact. But the inner layer, held together by the interlayer, stays intact. That is what keeps the wind and water out even when the glass is broken. The thickness matters because thicker glass can absorb more energy before cracking. But the interlayer quality matters just as much. Some manufacturers use standard PVB, while others use advanced structural interlayers that provide better adhesion and UV resistance. When you are looking at impact door glass thickness for debris protection, ask about the interlayer type, not just the glass thickness. A 5/16-inch door with premium interlayer can outperform a 1/2-inch door with cheap materials. We have seen this difference firsthand on job sites. Also, look for doors that have been tested with the large missile impact test, not just the smaller missile test. The large missile test uses a 2×4 board, while the small missile test uses steel ball bearings. Only the large missile test simulates what real hurricane debris does. All Miami-Dade approved doors must pass the large missile test, but some non-approved doors only pass the small test. That is not enough for Palm Beach County homes.

Frame Reinforcement: Aluminum vs Fiberglass in Coastal Conditions

The frame is what holds everything together, and in coastal conditions, material choice is critical. Aluminum frames are strong and lightweight, but they can corrode over time in salt air. Modern aluminum frames use thermal breaks and corrosion-resistant coatings to slow that process down. Quality frames also have reinforced corners with heavy-duty brackets and screws, not just welded joints. Fiberglass frames offer better corrosion resistance than aluminum and do not conduct heat as much. That means they are more energy efficient and less likely to sweat in humid conditions. But fiberglass frames can be more expensive, and they are not as strong as heavy-gauge aluminum in some configurations. The best choice depends on your specific situation. For a beachfront condo in Delray Beach with direct salt spray, fiberglass might be worth the extra cost. For an inland home in Boca Raton where salt exposure is lower, a good aluminum frame with proper coating will perform fine. The key is to look at the frame’s reinforcement at the lock area and the hinge area. Those are the stress points where most failures happen. We always check for impact door frame reinforcement in coastal corrosion zones and recommend frames with stainless steel reinforcement at those critical points. Also, pay attention to the frame thickness-lighter gauge aluminum flexes more under wind load, which can break the seal.

Hardware Upgrades That Keep the Seal Under Pressure

The hardware on your impact door is more than just a handle and a lock. It is a mechanical system designed to keep the door sealed against the frame under extreme pressure. Multi-point locking systems are standard on quality impact doors. Instead of one lock at the handle, you get locking points at the top, middle, and bottom of the door. That distributes the load across the whole door height and prevents the door from bowing inward. The hinges also need to be heavy-duty, usually with three or four hinges per door rather than the standard two. We also pay attention to the seals and weatherstripping. Compression seals made of silicone or EPDM rubber create a watertight barrier when the door closes. Some systems use magnetic seals similar to refrigerator doors, which provide excellent compression. The threshold at the bottom of the door is another critical point. Many standard doors have a simple aluminum threshold that leaves gaps. Impact door thresholds use interlocking designs with multiple seal points. When we install impact door hardware upgrades for storm sealing, we always test the door’s compression by closing it on a piece of paper. If the paper slides out easily, the seal is not tight enough. A properly sealed door should grab that paper and hold it firmly. These details matter because water intrusion through a door seal can damage your floors and walls just as badly as a broken window.

What a Retrofit Entails vs New Construction Installation

You have two main options when upgrading to impact doors: retrofit into your existing frame or full new construction installation. The right choice depends on your current door’s condition, your budget, and your timeline. A retrofit keeps your existing frame and replaces just the door slab, glass, and hardware. That is faster and cheaper, but it only works if your existing frame is in good shape and structurally sound. A full new construction installation involves removing the old door and frame entirely and installing a complete new assembly. That takes longer and costs more, but it guarantees that everything works together as a tested system. We typically recommend full installation for older homes where the frame might have hidden damage or where the existing frame does not meet current code requirements. For newer homes with frames that are already in good condition, a retrofit can be a smart option. Let’s look at what each process involves and how to decide which path works for your home.

Assessing Your Existing Door Frame for Structural Integrity

Before we can recommend retrofit or full replacement, we inspect the existing frame thoroughly. We look for rot, termite damage, corrosion, and cracks in the frame material. In older Delray Beach homes, we often find wood frames that have been exposed to moisture for decades. Even if the frame looks fine on the surface, moisture readings inside the wood can reveal hidden rot. We also check the rough opening-the space between the frame and the wall structure. If that opening has gaps or the frame is not properly anchored to the wall studs, a retrofit will not hold under hurricane forces. We check the anchorage by looking at the screws or nails holding the frame to the wall. Many older installations used construction nails that are not strong enough for impact door requirements. We also look at the threshold condition. A damaged or uneven threshold can prevent proper sealing even with a new door. If the frame shows any signs of weakness, we recommend full replacement. It is better to spend the money upfront than to have a retrofit door fail during a storm because the old frame could not handle the load. We document every inspection finding and share it with homeowners so they can make an informed decision. This assessment process is part of our standard approach for every impact door retrofit vs new construction in Delray Beach project we take on.

Permit Requirements and Miami-Dade Product Approval in Palm Beach County

Every impact door installation in Palm Beach County requires a building permit. That is not optional, and it is not something you want to skip. The permit ensures that the doors meet current code requirements and that the installation follows approved methods. For impact doors, the key requirement is Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) certification. Every door model must have a valid NOA number that proves it passed testing. The inspector will verify that the doors installed match the ones listed on the permit. They will also check that the installation follows the manufacturer’s approved details for anchorage, sealing, and flashing. We handle all permit paperwork for our clients, including the application, inspections, and final sign-off. The process usually takes two to three weeks for permit approval, depending on the municipality. Delray Beach and Boca Raton have their own permitting departments, and timelines can vary. We build this timeline into our project schedule so there are no surprises. We also ensure that any impact door permit requirements in Delray Beach are met before we order materials. Ordering doors without an approved permit can lead to delays if the inspector requires changes. We have been doing this long enough to know exactly what each jurisdiction looks for, so our permits get approved on the first submission.

Installation Timeline: What to Expect When You Upgrade Mid-Season

Hurricane season runs from June through November in South Florida. If you are upgrading doors during that period, you need to plan for potential weather delays. We schedule installations with buffer time for rain days and storm watches. A typical retrofit installation takes one to two days per door. That includes removing the old door slab, preparing the frame, installing the new door, and testing the seals. Full new construction installation takes two to three days per door because we have to remove the old frame, repair the rough opening, and install the complete assembly. If we are replacing multiple doors, we can sometimes work on several at once to speed things up. We always recommend upgrading your most vulnerable doors first-the ones facing the prevailing wind direction and any doors with large glass panels. If you have a sliding glass door that leads to a patio or pool area, that is usually the highest priority because it has the largest glass surface. We also coordinate with your schedule to minimize disruption. Most installations happen during regular business hours, and we clean up completely before leaving each day. For impact door installation process for Delray Beach homes, we provide a detailed timeline upfront so you know exactly when to expect the crew and how long each phase will take.

Cost Per Door: Breaking Down Materials, Labor, and Financing Options

The total cost of an impact door upgrade varies based on door size, configuration, material, and complexity of installation. A standard single hinged impact door typically costs between $2,500 and $4,500 installed. That includes the door, frame, glass, hardware, labor, and permit fees. Sliding glass doors cost more, usually $4,000 to $8,000 depending on the number of panels and the configuration. French doors with two hinged panels run $3,500 to $6,000. Custom sizes or historic district requirements can add 20 to 30 percent to those prices. The material choice also affects cost-fiberglass frames are generally 15 to 25 percent more expensive than aluminum. We always provide itemized quotes that break down materials, labor, permit fees, and any disposal costs for the old door. We also offer financing options to help spread the cost over time. Through our partner lenders, we can arrange impact door cost per door and financing options that fit your budget. Some homeowners qualify for low-interest loans specifically for hurricane protection upgrades. Florida also has a sales tax exemption for impact-resistant doors and windows, which saves you about 7 percent on the materials. We include that savings in our quotes automatically. When you consider the insurance discounts and energy savings, most impact doors pay for themselves within five to seven years.

Beyond Storm Protection: The Daily Benefits You Did Not Expect

Impact doors are not just storm protection-they are home improvements that improve your daily life. Many homeowners tell us they wish they had made the switch sooner, not because of hurricane season, but because of the everyday benefits. Impact doors change how your home feels, sounds, and performs. They make your home more comfortable, quieter, and cheaper to run. They also add value to your property and give you peace of mind every day, not just when a storm is in the forecast. Let’s look at the benefits that make impact doors a smart investment year-round.

Energy Efficiency Gains and Lower Utility Bills

Impact doors are inherently energy efficient because they are built with insulated frames and multiple layers of glass. The same construction that stops wind and debris also stops heat transfer. In South Florida, where we run air conditioning nine months out of the year, that makes a real difference. The laminated glass blocks a significant portion of solar heat gain, keeping your interior cooler without your AC working as hard. The insulated frames also reduce thermal bridging-the transfer of heat through the frame material. Fiberglass frames perform especially well here because they do not conduct heat the way aluminum does. We have measured energy savings of 10 to 15 percent on cooling costs after replacing standard doors with impact-rated units. Over a year, that adds up to several hundred dollars in savings. The energy efficiency also makes your home more comfortable. Rooms with impact doors feel more consistent in temperature, without the hot spots near glass doors that you get with single-pane or poorly insulated units. For homeowners interested in impact door energy efficiency benefits in South Florida, we recommend looking at the door’s U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient. Lower numbers mean better efficiency. Most quality impact doors have U-factors below 0.50 and SHGC below 0.30.

Noise Reduction for Homes Near Atlantic Avenue or I-95

Living near a busy road means dealing with traffic noise. Impact doors reduce that noise dramatically. The laminated glass and tight seals block sound transmission much better than standard doors. We have installed impact doors in homes right on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, and the owners tell us the difference is night and day. The double-layer glass construction acts as a sound barrier, reducing noise by 40 to 50 percent compared to standard single-pane doors. That means you can have a conversation in your living room without raising your voice over traffic. It also means you can sleep better at night without being woken by passing cars or emergency vehicles. The impact door seals also block sound around the edges of the door. Standard doors often have gaps that let noise leak through, but impact door seals compress tightly to create an acoustic barrier. If noise is a concern for your home, impact doors are one of the most effective upgrades you can make. We have even had clients in West Palm Beach near the train tracks tell us they can finally enjoy their outdoor living spaces without the constant rumble. For impact door noise reduction near Atlantic Avenue, this is one of the most appreciated daily benefits.

UV Protection and Condensation Prevention in Humid Climates

The laminated glass in impact doors blocks 99 percent of UV radiation. That is important in South Florida, where intense sun can fade your furniture, flooring, and artwork in just a few months. Standard glass lets UV rays through, which slowly damages everything it hits. Impact doors protect your interior finishes without blocking visible light. You get the bright, open feel of glass doors without the sun damage. The UV protection also helps prevent skin damage from prolonged exposure near glass doors. For homes with indoor-outdoor living spaces where doors stay open most of the day, this is a real benefit. Another advantage is condensation prevention. In humid climates, condensation forms on glass surfaces when the temperature difference between inside and outside is significant. That moisture can lead to mold and mildew around door frames and windows. Impact doors use insulated glass units with warm-edge spacers that reduce condensation. The thermal properties keep the interior glass surface closer to room temperature, so moisture does not form as easily. We have seen homes with standard doors that had constant condensation problems, and switching to impact doors solved it completely. For homeowners looking at impact door UV protection and condensation prevention, these features make a visible difference in maintaining your home’s condition.

Insurance Premium Savings: How Impact Doors Pay for Themselves

Most homeowners insurance companies in Florida offer discounts for impact-rated doors and windows. The discount varies by insurer, but it typically ranges from 10 to 25 percent on the windstorm portion of your policy. For a home in Palm Beach County, that can mean savings of $500 to $1,500 per year. Some insurers also offer reduced deductibles for wind damage claims if you have impact protection. That means if a storm does cause damage elsewhere on your property, you pay less out of pocket before insurance kicks in. The savings add up quickly. Over five to ten years, the insurance discounts can cover a significant portion of your impact door investment. We always recommend that homeowners contact their insurance agent before upgrading to get the specific discount information for their policy. Some insurers require that the doors be installed by a licensed contractor and inspected before the discount applies. We provide all the documentation needed to claim your discount, including permits, inspection reports, and product certifications. For many homeowners, impact door insurance premium savings for homeowners make the upgrade financially beneficial even before considering storm protection benefits.

Choosing the Right Door and Contractor for Your Home

Selecting the right impact door involves more than picking a color and size. You need to match the door type to your home’s layout, style, and structural requirements. You also need to choose a contractor who understands the local codes, inspections, and installation methods. Making the wrong choice on either front can lead to poor performance, leaks, or permit issues. Let’s go through the key decisions you will face and how to make smart choices.

Sliding vs Hinged: Which Configuration Fits Your Layout

Sliding glass doors are popular for patios and pool areas because they save space and provide wide openings. They operate by sliding along a track, so they do not swing into the room or onto the deck. Impact-rated sliding doors use heavy-duty rollers and reinforced frames to handle the weight of laminated glass. They are a good choice if you have limited floor space or want seamless access to an outdoor living area. The trade-off is that sliding doors have more moving parts and seals, which means more potential failure points. Hinged doors swing open like traditional doors and provide a better seal because the compression is more direct. They are generally more reliable for storm protection because the locking mechanism engages directly into the frame. For entry doors and French doors, hinged configurations are the standard. Your choice depends on your layout and how you use the space. For a door that opens to a small balcony, a sliding door saves space. For a main entry door, hinged is the better choice for security and storm performance. We help clients weigh these factors based on their specific situation. When we guide homeowners through impact door sliding vs hinged in Delray Beach, we always consider traffic flow, space constraints, and storm exposure.

French Door Options and Custom Sizes for Historic Districts

French doors add elegance and allow more light into a room. They come in impact-rated versions with the same laminated glass and reinforced frames as single doors. The key difference is that French doors have an active and passive panel-one operates, the other stays fixed until you release the top and bottom bolts. Both panels need to seal properly against each other and against the frame. In historic districts like those in Delray Beach near Atlantic Avenue, there are often design review requirements. The doors need to match the historic character of the neighborhood while meeting modern code standards. We work with manufacturers who offer custom sizes, divided lite patterns, and historical profiles that meet those requirements. Some historic districts require wood frames or specific colors, and we can source impact doors that meet those aesthetic standards without sacrificing performance. Custom sizes are also common for older homes where the rough openings are not standard. We measure every opening precisely and order doors that fit exactly, avoiding the gaps and shimming issues that happen with stock sizes. For homeowners exploring impact door French door options and custom sizes for historic districts, we handle the design review process and ensure the doors meet both code and historic preservation standards.

Color Selection and Coastal Corrosion Resistance

Color choice for impact doors is about more than looks-it affects durability, especially in coastal environments. Dark colors absorb more heat, which can cause the door frame to expand and contract more than light colors. In extreme cases, that thermal movement can stress the seals and hardware. For homes within a mile of the coast, we generally recommend lighter colors or factory-applied coatings specifically designed for coastal exposure. The finish on the door is critical. Standard painted finishes can chip, fade, and corrode in salt air. We use doors with anodized aluminum or high-performance powder coating that resists corrosion. Fiberglass doors come with gel coat finishes that are inherently resistant to salt damage. The warranty on the finish matters too. Quality manufacturers offer 20-year or lifetime warranties on their finishes against fading, chalking, and peeling. We always verify the warranty terms before ordering. For coastal properties in Palm Beach County, we also pay attention to the hardware finish. Stainless steel or marine-grade hardware lasts much longer than standard brass or nickel-plated options. When discussing impact door color selection and coastal corrosion resistance, we walk clients through the options and recommend combinations that will look good and hold up for decades.

How to Vet a General Contractor for Impact Door Upgrades in Delray Beach

Choosing the right contractor is just as important as choosing the right door. A poor installation can compromise even the best door’s performance. Start by verifying that the contractor is licensed and insured in Florida. Ask for their license number and check it with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Look for a contractor who specializes in storm protection and has experience with impact door installations specifically. Ask for references from recent impact door projects and call those homeowners. Ask about the installation process, timeline, and how the contractor handled any issues. Visit completed projects if possible to see the work firsthand. The contractor should also have relationships with door manufacturers and suppliers. That means they can get replacement parts and service quickly. Ask about warranties-both the manufacturer’s warranty on the door and the contractor’s warranty on the installation. A good contractor stands behind their work for at least one to two years. We provide a five-year installation warranty on all our impact door projects. Also, ask about their process for handling permits and inspections. The contractor should handle all permit applications and coordinate with the building department. If they suggest skipping permits or doing the work without inspections, that is a red flag. For guidance on impact door contractor selection criteria in Boca Raton and throughout Palm Beach County, look for experience, transparency, and a commitment to quality that shows in every aspect of their work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a single impact door cost installed in Palm Beach County?

A standard single hinged impact door costs between $2,500 and $4,500 installed, including materials, labor, permit fees, and disposal of the old door. Sliding doors and French doors cost more, typically $4,000 to $8,000. Custom sizes and historic district requirements can add 20 to 30 percent. We provide detailed quotes that break down each cost component.

Do I need a permit to replace my front door with an impact door?

Yes. All impact door replacements in Palm Beach County require a building permit. The permit ensures the door meets code requirements and that the installation is inspected. We handle all permit paperwork as part of our service, including scheduling inspections and getting final approval.

Will impact doors really lower my insurance premiums?

Most Florida insurers offer discounts of 10 to 25 percent on windstorm coverage for impact-rated doors. The exact discount depends on your insurer and policy. We recommend contacting your insurance agent to confirm the discount before starting your project. We provide all documentation needed to claim the discount.

How long does an impact door installation take?

A single retrofit installation takes one to two days. Full new construction installation with frame replacement takes two to three days per door. We can often work on multiple doors simultaneously to speed up the process. We provide a detailed timeline before starting any project.

Can I install impact doors myself to save money?

We do not recommend it. Impact door installation requires precision to ensure proper sealing and structural performance. The permit and inspection process also requires licensed contractor involvement. A DIY installation could void the door’s warranty and leave you unprotected during a storm. Professional installation is the only way to guarantee performance and code compliance.

What is the difference between Miami-Dade approved and Florida approved?

Miami-Dade approval is the strictest testing protocol in the country. It tests doors for impact resistance, wind load, and water penetration using standards beyond basic Florida Building Code requirements. All doors installed in high-velocity hurricane zones should have Miami-Dade approval. We only install doors with current Miami-Dade NOA numbers.

How do I maintain my impact doors?

Clean the glass and frames regularly with mild soap and water. Check the seals and weatherstripping annually for wear or damage. Lubricate the tracks and hardware with silicone spray. Inspect the door for any cracks or damage after major storms. We provide a maintenance guide with every installation and offer annual maintenance checks for our clients.

“I am a small business owner with my own dental practice. When we decided that we had outgrown our rented space and decided to build our new dental office I contacted Andy at RENOVA. I had known Andy all of my life and also knew that he had been a Construction Manager for many years with another construction company, so I knew he had the expertise and experience to get the job done right. When we first met, our concept was not even finalized, nor were any formal plans drawn up by the Architects. From the onset Andy was able to give valuable input and pricing estimates which allowed us to proceed through the planning phases into construction. Andy selected a wide array of skilled and reliable sub-contractors with whom he had on-going relationships. This allowed the project to be built efficiently, on time, and under budget. Though ours was a smaller building it was loaded with custom features- including Azenco retractable awnings in the front of the building, a fully-functional executive bath with a shower, high end marble countertops and millwork, Puustelli italian custom cabinetry, electrical upgrades, a state-of-the-art surveillance and security system, interior and exterior custom-lighting fixtures. These are largely time consuming detailed features which are not easy to build out. However Andy and his team methodically, skillfully and professionally worked through each and every detail from start to finish. Close to four years after we moved into our brand new building on GateWay Blvd in Boynton Beach, we are still tickled every time we walk through the front doors. The building has also proven to be very well-constructed, as we have had no issues with it, in that time. I would highly recommend selecting Andy Plotze and his team at RENOVA for your construction project, whether big or small.” – Charley C., a 5 star review from RENOVA on Google Business Reviews
