The installation sequence follows a specific order dictated by Broward County inspection requirements. The existing window is removed, the structural opening is prepared and verified for plumb and level, and the new impact-rated unit is set, shimmed, and fastened with corrosion-resistant anchors at code-specified intervals. Sealant is applied to the exterior perimeter to create a continuous weather barrier. Haven’s crews complete each opening in sequence rather than removing all windows at once, which keeps the home secure throughout the installation day.
After the mechanical installation, a Broward County inspector verifies that each unit is properly fastened, sealed, and consistent with the product approval documentation (the Miami-Dade NOA number) submitted during permitting. This inspection is not optional and cannot be deferred. Haven schedules the inspection as part of the project timeline and is present on site when the inspector arrives, ensuring that any questions about the installation are resolved immediately and the project closes without open items.
