Impact Windows in Micco, FL

Micco is the southernmost community in Brevard along U.S. 1, and homeowners there look at impact windows with the river and the 2004 storms in mind. Frank Smith settled here in 1877, a post office called Chipco opened in 1880, and the office reopened as Micco in 1884. In 2020 the Micco census-designated place had 9,574 residents and 6,700 housing units, and 19% of those units were vacant at census time, which often reflects part-year owners.

River homes along U.S. 1

The area has two piers on the Indian River, and homes along the river side of U.S. 1 face east across open water. During Hurricane Jeanne, erosion undermined parts of the northbound lane of U.S. 1 in the Micco area. A house on that stretch catches the full wind off the lagoon, and its east-facing windows and doors need the right design pressures.

Site-built homes outside Barefoot Bay

Micco includes Barefoot Bay, but many site-built homes sit outside it, on their own lots with block or frame walls. Those homes are straightforward candidates for impact windows. The old windows come out, the openings are checked for rot and squareness, and the new units are anchored per the product approval.

Garage doors for seasonal owners

With nearly one unit in five vacant at census time, many Micco homes sit empty for part of the year. A house that is closed up still needs every opening protected. Impact windows handle themselves, but a standard garage door does not. A wind-rated impact garage door completes the envelope without anyone needing to be there.

Rain alongside wind

The NWS estimated 11 to 13 inches of rain from radar over southern Brevard during Jeanne. Wind-driven rain finds any gap at sills and thresholds. Our installs focus on sill pans, sealant and weeps so water drains back out instead of into the wall.

Shared ZIP, different county

Barefoot Bay, inside Micco, uses the 32976 ZIP code shared with Sebastian, but Micco is in Brevard County, not Indian River County. That matters for permits. Work in Micco is filed with Brevard County, while work across the line in Sebastian falls under Indian River County jurisdiction. We confirm the jurisdiction by parcel before we file, so an address that says Sebastian on the mailbox still gets the correct permit.

Permits

Micco is unincorporated, so window, door and shutter permits go through Brevard County. We prepare the product approvals and floor plan and file the application. Call (321) 321-4730 for an estimate.
