Entry doors, patio doors, and garage doors — the first thing a storm tests.
A garage door is often the single largest unsupported opening on a house. Entry and patio doors carry the most glass area at ground level. All three deserve the same documentation-first approach we bring to windows — not an afterthought behind the glass conversation.
Where to start
Entry Doors
Impact-rated fiberglass and steel entry doors, plus French door configurations, for the main points of entry into your home.

Why garage doors are commonly the first structural failure point in a windstorm, and what impact/wind-rated actually means.
See garage doors →Garage doors are covered by Florida's new sales tax exemption too.
Florida's new state sales tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, active July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, explicitly includes garage doors alongside windows and entry/patio doors.

Doors — common questions
It depends on your specific address relative to the Wind-Borne Debris Region and, rarely, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the same rule that applies to windows. Most inland Orlando/Orange County addresses fall outside both today. See our hurricane protection page for the full explanation.
It depends on your home's construction and exposure, but a garage door is frequently the largest unsupported opening on a house and, once it fails, internal pressure can compromise the whole structure. We'll walk your specific home and give you a prioritized recommendation rather than a blanket answer.
Financing is available in many cases, with terms that vary by lender and credit profile, and can typically bundle multiple door and window projects into one plan. See our financing page for general options.
Many HOAs have appearance guidelines for garage doors and entry doors specifically, and we can help document your project for approval. On insurance, verified wind-mitigation features can qualify for premium credits, decided by your carrier after a qualified inspection — see hurricane protection for details.
