Impact & Wind-Rated Doors contractors in Alabama

Wind-rated and impact-rated entry doors, sliding glass doors and French doors are tested as complete assemblies (door, frame, glass and hardware). Garage doors are a separate product category but are just as important, since a failed garage door can let wind pressurize the house.

Pros

  • Sliding glass and French doors are often the largest openings in a house; rated doors protect them full-time.
  • Impact entry doors add security and can replace the need for panels over a front door.
  • Can be ordered with matching frames and glass for impact windows.

Things to consider

  • Large sliding doors are among the most expensive individual openings to replace.
  • Doors are tested as a complete assembly; mixing parts or field modifications can void the rating.
  • Garage doors need their own wind-rated or impact-rated product and are often overlooked.

What to ask for in a quote

  • The contractor's state license number and which board issued it, so you can confirm it on the board's website.
  • Product test or approval documentation for every product in the quote, including the rating it was tested to.
  • Who pulls the building permit, whether permit fees are included, and who schedules inspections.
  • The design pressure rating for each door, including positive and negative pressure.
  • Whether the garage door is included, and if not, whether yours is wind-rated.
  • Threshold and water-resistance details for doors facing open water or prevailing storm winds.

Frequently asked questions

Does my garage door count as an opening?

Yes. A failed garage door can let wind pressurize the house. Ask whether yours is rated for wind pressure, and whether it is impact-rated if you are near the coast.

Can I add impact glass to my existing doors?

Generally no. Impact doors are tested as complete systems (frame, panel, glass and hardware). Replacing only the glass will not give you a tested impact door.
