Margate is an inland city in northern Broward County, about 7.5 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, with roughly nine square miles of tree-lined streets and about 30 miles of canals. It became a town in 1955 and a city in 1961, and its name is said to combine founder Jack Marqusee's surname with its early role as a gateway to western Broward. America's Window and Door Store installs hurricane impact windows, impact-rated doors, and commercial storefront systems across Margate, with permit-ready work built to the Florida Building Code.
Margate's inland location does not lower the bar for its homes. Because Broward is part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, replacement windows here must meet the same impact-testing and Florida Building Code requirements as windows in the county's coastal cities. Impact windows are built to withstand wind-borne debris and sudden pressure changes, helping keep your home closed up and your household safer while a storm passes.
Impact glass also pays off outside of hurricane season. Laminated impact glass, especially with a Low-E coating, can reduce solar heat gain, cut down on noise from busy roads like State Road 7 and Atlantic Boulevard, and resist forced entry better than standard single-pane windows. For residents of Margate's condominium and 55-plus communities, where exterior work is often reviewed by an association, permanent impact glass also ends the seasonal chore of putting up and taking down shutters.
For Margate homeowners replacing several windows at once, single hung impact windows offer certified storm protection at a practical price point. We carry them in a wide range of sizes for the standard openings found in the city's ranch-style houses, such as the single-story homes of Paradise Gardens, a community of roughly 1,800 homes built between 1969 and 1982.
Frame colors are available to coordinate with the stucco and tile exteriors common across Broward County, so the house looks clean and consistent once the new units are in. Single hung windows are also among the quicker styles to permit and install, which keeps disruption low for Margate families replacing windows room by room or all at once.
Margate homeowners who want better airflow and easier upkeep often look at double hung impact windows. Both the upper and lower sashes open independently, so warm air can escape at the top while fresher air comes in below. That flexibility is useful during South Florida's milder winter months, when opening the windows can feel better than running the air conditioning.
Each sash tilts in toward the room, so the outside of the glass can be cleaned from indoors without a ladder. With several frame profiles and glass tint choices, double hung units work well in the older homes found around Margate as well as in houses that have been remodeled more recently.
Some Margate homes, especially remodels and newer builds, have arched transoms, oversized fixed glass, or openings that stock units such as double hung windows simply cannot fill. Our architectural impact windows are made to each project's exact dimensions and shapes, and they carry Miami-Dade NOA approvals just like our standard product lines.
We work directly with Margate homeowners, builders, and architects to choose and install custom configurations, whether the job is one large picture window or a complete window package for a new home. Our team handles product specification, the permit application with the City of Margate Building Department, installation, and final inspection, so the whole project runs through a single point of contact.
Sliding glass doors are part of daily life in many Margate homes, opening onto patios, screened porches, and backyards, and in canal-front houses, onto the water view. Our impact sliding glass doors replace aging aluminum sliders with laminated glass systems rated for Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone wind loads, so there are no storm panels or accordion shutters to set up each season or to block the view.
Configurations run from a standard two-panel slider to wide multi-panel and pocket systems, all with heavy-duty rolling hardware made for dependable operation in Margate's heat and humidity. Frames come in white, bronze, and custom colors to match the mix of exterior styles found across the city's neighborhoods.
In Margate, exterior doors are held to the same Florida Building Code wind-load and impact standards as windows, and the front door is usually the first thing a visitor notices. America's Window and Door Store installs impact-rated entry doors that add storm resistance while giving a Margate home's entrance a cleaner, more updated look.
Door styles range from simple contemporary designs to traditional raised-panel doors, so there is a good match for an original Margate home as well as a recently updated townhome. Every installation includes a properly set threshold, new weatherstripping, and upgraded multi-point hardware as part of the job.
Homes with wider front entries are a natural fit for our double entry doors. These paired units come with a choice of decorative glass inserts and panel layouts, use multi-point locking hardware, and meet Florida Building Code impact requirements for Broward County, giving a Margate home a secure and balanced entrance.
Margate homeowners who like the appearance of wood but not the upkeep should take a close look at fiberglass entry doors. Fiberglass resists the warping, swelling, and finish breakdown that South Florida's heat and humidity can cause in wood and steel doors. The impact-rated models we install are tested and approved under the Florida Building Code, pairing storm protection with a durable, low-maintenance finish.
State Road 7 and Atlantic Boulevard are Margate's primary commercial corridors, and the city is planning a mixed-use City Center on roughly 50 acres near State Road 7 and Margate Boulevard. For businesses along these roads, our commercial impact window and storefront systems are engineered to the Florida Building Code's wind-load requirements for commercial buildings in Broward County, and we coordinate each project through the City of Margate's permitting process.
Commercial clients in Margate get the full scope of work from one team: site assessment, product specification, permit filing, installation, and final inspection. Our storefront systems meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements while giving retail, office, and restaurant spaces the clean, professional look their customers expect.
When impact windows or doors in a Margate home are damaged by a storm, an accident, or years of daily use, our team provides impact window and door repair services to get them working properly again. We handle glass panel replacement, frame repair, seal restoration, hardware replacement, and screen repair on most major product brands.
Every Margate repair call starts with a straightforward assessment. Our technicians weigh the extent of the damage, the age of the unit, and the long-term cost before recommending a repair or a replacement. In many cases, a targeted repair brings a window or door back to proper performance for less than the cost of replacing the entire unit.
America's Window and Door Store is an authorized PGT dealer, including the former CGI lines, and a certified general and glazing contractor, focused on impact windows, impact doors, and storm protection products for Broward County. We manage each Margate installation from product selection and the permit application through installation and final inspection, which keeps the process simple for homeowners and commercial property owners.
We know the City of Margate's permitting requirements and the kinds of construction found across its neighborhoods, from 1970s ranch homes and condominiums to newer remodels. That experience helps us specify the right products, prepare complete permit submittals, and keep each installation on track through final inspection.
