Davie's Trusted Impact Window Specialists — Built for South Florida's Toughest Storms
Serving Davie and Broward County • 170mph Wind Zone
Davie, Florida is one of Broward County's most beloved communities — a unique blend of equestrian estates, established suburban neighborhoods, and thriving academic corridors anchored by Nova Southeastern University. From the sprawling properties of Long Lake Ranches to the well-kept family homes of Shenandoah and Rolling Hills, Davie homeowners have invested significantly in their properties. With average home values hovering around $460,000, protecting that investment against South Florida's hurricane season isn't just smart — it's essential. Impact windows are one of the most effective and lasting ways to do exactly that.
Located approximately eight miles from the Atlantic coastline, Davie sits squarely within Broward County's 170 mph wind zone, meaning every home here is exposed to the same destructive wind forces that have reshaped South Florida's landscape time and again. While Davie is not classified within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) like Miami-Dade coastal communities, Florida Building Code still mandates hurricane-rated products for all new construction and replacement windows in this area. That distinction matters — it means your windows must meet rigorous standards, and cutting corners with non-compliant products puts both your home and your insurance coverage at risk.
Neighborhoods like Arrowhead, Ivanhoe, and the tree-lined streets near Tree Tops Park are home to a significant number of pre-1994 properties — roughly 40% of Davie's housing stock was built before the modern hurricane code era. Those older single-pane aluminum windows were never designed to withstand the pressures of a major storm. Upgrading to certified impact-resistant windows is no longer a luxury for Davie homeowners — it's a practical, financially sound decision that delivers daily benefits in energy efficiency, noise reduction, and security, long before the next storm ever forms in the Atlantic.

Davie's Storm History Makes the Case for Impact Windows
Davie has weathered nine significant named storms since 1990, and each one has left its mark on the community's collective memory — and its housing stock. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 remains the defining benchmark for South Florida hurricane preparedness. While Andrew's core destruction was concentrated in southern Miami-Dade County, its wind field extended well into Broward County, causing widespread damage to older homes throughout the region. For Davie's pre-1994 housing stock, Andrew was a hard lesson: standard windows and doors were not built to handle the wind loads produced by a major hurricane.
Hurricane Wilma in 2005 brought a different kind of devastation to Broward County. Moving quickly across South Florida, Wilma produced intense wind damage throughout the interior of the county — including communities like Davie, Plantation, and Cooper City. Many homeowners who had relied on plywood panels or accordion shutters during Andrew found that those solutions were cumbersome, unreliable, and offered limited protection against Wilma's extended duration winds. Hurricane Irma in 2017 reinforced the same message. Even as a slightly weakened storm at landfall, Irma's prolonged wind event caused significant property damage, knocked out power for days, and damaged countless older windows and roof systems across Davie's neighborhoods near Flamingo Gardens and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds area.
The cumulative lesson from nine storms in roughly three decades is clear: passive storm protection is no longer enough. Impact windows eliminate the pre-storm scramble for shutters, protect against windborne debris penetration, and maintain structural integrity throughout a storm event — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without any homeowner action required.

Florida Building Code Requirements for Impact Windows in Davie
Davie falls under Broward County's jurisdiction for Florida Building Code enforcement, and while the community is not designated as part of the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the standards that apply here are still among the most rigorous in the country. The Florida Building Code — specifically Chapter 16 covering structural loads and Chapter 14 addressing exterior envelope requirements — mandates that all replacement windows and new construction windows in Davie must be rated for a minimum design wind speed of 170 mph. This is not optional, and non-compliant window products will fail inspection.
HVHZ designation, which applies to Miami-Dade and portions of Broward County closer to the coast, requires products to meet the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) standard — a particularly stringent testing protocol. Davie's non-HVHZ status means that windows with Florida Product Approval (FPA) under TAS 201, 202, and 203 testing protocols are acceptable for code compliance. The ESW and CWI products installed by Premier Impact Windows & Roofing carry the appropriate Florida Product Approvals, ensuring every installation we complete in Davie meets or exceeds state requirements.
All window replacement projects in Davie require a permit through the Town of Davie Building Division, located at 6591 Orange Drive. Permits trigger mandatory inspections, and final sign-off is required before your wind mitigation report can be updated — which is critical for insurance purposes. Premier Impact Windows & Roofing handles the entire permitting process on your behalf, from application submission to scheduling the final inspection. We've navigated the Town of Davie's permitting workflow dozens of times and understand exactly what documentation and product specifications their inspectors require for a smooth, first-time approval.
ESW and CWI Impact Windows — Premium Products Engineered for Davie Homes
Premier Impact Windows & Roofing installs two of the industry's most respected impact window brands: ESW (Eastern Storm Windows) and CWI. Both product lines are purpose-built for South Florida's demanding environment and carry the Florida Product Approvals necessary for installation in Broward County's 170 mph wind zone. Whether you're upgrading a 1980s ranch in Rolling Hills or fitting new construction in Long Lake Ranches, these products deliver the performance, aesthetics, and longevity that Davie homeowners expect.
ESW impact windows feature heavy-duty multi-chamber PVC or aluminum frames that resist both structural deflection under wind load and the long-term degradation that Florida's UV intensity and salt-laden humidity can cause over time. Their laminated glass construction — typically a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) interlayer bonded between two panes of tempered glass — is what makes them truly impact-resistant. When struck by windborne debris, the glass cracks but the interlayer holds the pane intact, maintaining the structural envelope of your home and preventing the catastrophic pressure changes that cause roof failures during hurricanes. CWI products offer a complementary lineup with a strong emphasis on architectural versatility, making them an excellent choice for Davie's more design-conscious homeowners in communities like Ivanhoe and Arrowhead.
Both brands offer Low-E (low-emissivity) glass coatings as a standard feature — a critical upgrade for Davie's sun-intensive environment. Low-E coatings reflect infrared and ultraviolet light before it enters your home, dramatically reducing solar heat gain and keeping interior temperatures more consistent. In a home running central air conditioning for eight to ten months of the year, that translates directly into lower monthly utility bills. Combined with insulated glass units and tight frame sealing, ESW and CWI windows regularly help South Florida homeowners reduce cooling costs by 20 to 30 percent annually.
What Do Impact Windows Cost for a Davie Home — And Is It Worth It?
One of the most common questions we hear from Davie homeowners is straightforward: what's this going to cost me? The honest answer depends on your home's size, the number and style of openings, the specific products selected, and whether any structural modifications are needed. For a typical Davie home in the $400,000 to $500,000 range, a full-home impact window replacement generally falls between $12,000 and $30,000, with the average mid-size home coming in around $18,000 to $22,000. Larger estates in Long Lake Ranches or properties with extensive picture windows and custom shapes will naturally fall at the higher end of the range.
When you evaluate that investment against the backdrop of a $460,000 home value, the math becomes compelling quickly. Impact windows typically add 5 to 10 percent to a property's resale value, meaning a $20,000 window upgrade could yield $23,000 to $46,000 in increased equity on an average Davie home. That's before factoring in annual savings on homeowner's insurance premiums — which in Broward County can run $1,500 to $3,500 per year or more for older homes — and the ongoing reduction in energy costs thanks to Low-E glass and improved insulation values.
For homeowners who prefer to spread the cost over time, Premier Impact Windows & Roofing offers flexible financing starting at just $87 per month with $0 down options available to qualified applicants. Our financing programs are designed to be accessible for Davie's upper-middle income homeowner base — people who understand value and want to make a smart, long-term investment without a large upfront cash outlay. Many of our customers find that the combined monthly savings on insurance and energy nearly offset their monthly financing payment, making the upgrade cost-neutral from day one.

Insurance Savings for Davie Homeowners After Impact Window Installation
Florida's property insurance market has been under significant pressure in recent years, and Broward County homeowners have felt it acutely. Premium increases, policy non-renewals, and coverage restrictions have pushed many Davie residents to look for every available discount and mitigation credit. Impact windows are one of the most powerful tools available for reducing your homeowner's insurance costs — and the savings can be substantial.
When you install code-compliant impact windows throughout your home, you become eligible for a wind mitigation credit under Florida law. Insurance carriers are required to consider the results of a certified wind mitigation inspection when calculating premiums, and homes with fully protected openings — meaning all windows and doors are impact-rated — typically qualify for the maximum 'Opening Protection' credit available. For many Davie homeowners, this credit alone reduces the wind portion of their premium by 25 to 45 percent. On a policy with a $4,000 annual premium, that's $1,000 to $1,800 in savings every single year.
Major carriers writing policies in Broward County — including Citizens Property Insurance, Universal Property & Casualty, and Heritage Insurance — all recognize opening protection improvements when calculating wind mitigation discounts. After your Premier Impact Windows & Roofing installation is complete and your final inspection is passed through the Town of Davie Building Division, we recommend immediately scheduling a certified wind mitigation inspection with a licensed inspector. The updated report should be submitted to your insurance carrier promptly. Premium adjustments typically take effect at your next renewal date, though some carriers will apply a mid-term endorsement. Over a 10-year period, the cumulative insurance savings for a Davie homeowner can easily surpass $15,000 — making impact windows one of the highest-ROI home improvements available in South Florida.
