What Should Impact Doors Cost in Florida?

Key takeaways
– Installed and permitted: a single impact door runs about $1,900–$3,200, French doors about $3,800–$6,500, and impact sliding glass doors about $4,500–$9,000 depending on size.
– An impact door without its NOA — the product’s Notice of Acceptance — is just a heavy door. The paperwork is what makes it legal, permittable, and worth anything to your insurer.
– If a seller can’t put the NOA in your hand, walk away — whatever the price.

The Short Answer

Impact doors are priced by the opening, so here are the openings — installed, permitted, and inspected, in South Florida:

• Single entry door (prehung, impact-rated): about $1,900–$3,200
• French doors (a pair): about $3,800–$6,500
• Sliding glass doors: about $4,500–$9,000, rising with width and panel count

Those numbers include the door, the frame, removal of the old unit, installation, hardware, sealing, and the permit and inspection. A bare product price off a shelf tag is not any of that — it’s the first third of the job.

The Paper That Matters: The NOA

Every impact product sold in Florida carries a Notice of Acceptance — the NOA — the tested, certified approval that says this exact door, built this exact way, survived the wind and missile testing Florida law demands. Your building department requires it for the permit. The inspector checks it on site. Your insurance company wants it in your file before it credits you a dollar of wind-mitigation savings — savings that can run up to $1,400 a year on the right policy.

No NOA means no permit. No permit means no inspection, no insurance credit, and a door you may have to rip out when you sell the house and the buyer’s inspection finds it. This is not fine print. In the impact world, the paperwork is the product.

So the first question for anyone selling you an impact door is not “how much.” It’s “show me the NOA.” A legitimate seller produces it without blinking. A deal that can’t is not a deal — it’s a liability with a handle.

What an Installed Price Includes

• Removal of the old door and frame, and haul-away.
• The impact door and frame, prehung, with the glass and rating on its NOA.
• Structural attachment — the fastening pattern the NOA specifies, because the rating only holds when the door is installed the way it was tested.
• Hardware and locking — handles, locks, and on sliders, the rollers and track work that make a heavy door glide.
• Sealing and flashing at the opening, so wind-driven rain stays outside.
• Permit and inspections.
• Interior and exterior touch-up around the new frame.

Quotes that stop at the door itself leave the rest of that list for you to discover later — usually at change-order prices.

What Moves Your Number

• The opening. A standard 36-by-80 entry is the friendly end. Oversized entries, sidelites, and transoms climb.
• The product line. Good impact doors exist at honest prices, and premium lines exist above them. Both carry NOAs. The difference is finish, glass options, and hardware — not legality.
• Sliders by the foot. A two-panel slider and a four-panel pocketing wall are different animals. Width and panels drive the number.
• What the opening needs. Rotted framing, an out-of-square opening, stucco repair around the new frame — real conditions add real work.
• Glass choices. Clear, tinted, privacy, decorative. The rating stays the same; the price doesn’t.
