Impact Windows & Doors in Wellington, Florida

Coastal Impact Windows & Doors installs impact windows, impact doors, and patio enclosures in Wellington from its Jupiter base at 1449 Jupiter Park Dr. It is a licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1528942, a DBA of NXTGEN Construction, Inc.), its own crews do the installation rather than subcontractors, and its permit team prepares the permit paperwork for your address. Whoever you hire, check that their licence is active on the Florida DBPR site and that the written quote names the product approval for each opening.

The Village’s checklist asks for a building permit application and a completed window, door and shutter worksheet. It also asks for a floor plan with numbered openings matching that worksheet, and full product approvals for every opening. A scope of work showing the total replacement value, materials and labor included, completes it. The application is emailed first, then documents go up through ProjectDox. We prepare and file all of it.

A window buck inspection happens on install day, with at least one unit and its sill removed so the inspector can check the bucks. The inspector decides whether the existing bucks and sills are sufficient and whether more inspections are needed. For final, we submit detailed numbered photos of every opening and a signed Window and Door Buck Affidavit. Snap-on covers that hide fasteners stay off until final is approved.

When the direct contract is greater than $5,000, which covers most whole-home projects. The Notice of Commencement has to be recorded and posted on the job site before the first inspection. A certified copy must also be filed with the Village before that inspection. Without it, later inspections cannot go ahead, so we schedule the recording early.

No. Wellington’s forms state that the Village will not consult private homeowners associations before issuing a permit. A Village permit does not confirm that your project meets your association’s rules or deed restrictions. If you live in an association, its approval is a separate step, and we supply the product details it usually asks for.

Not if the replacement meets the conditions. The Village’s packet prints a Florida Building Code provision for existing buildings. Under it, a replacement egress window can be exempt from certain size rules. It must be the manufacturer’s largest standard size that fits the existing frame or rough opening. The style must match or give an equal or larger opening. Our worksheet flags every bedroom egress opening.

Do not assume so. From July 1, 2026, some single-family residential work under $7,500 may qualify for a permit exemption, but it must be applied for, and the Village’s page does not say whether window or door replacement qualifies. The exemption excludes structural work and projects in a flood hazard area. We check with the Building Division before relying on it.

You can, but Wellington asks a lot of owner-builders. A Village representative must review and sign the Owner/Builder Affidavit. The owner must also appear in person at the Building Department to sign the application. As permit holder you also sign the buck affidavit and supply the inspection photos. We normally carry the permit ourselves.
