Hurricane Protection & Custom Doors in Florida

Today, the Florida operation employs over 30 people and maintains a showroom in Port Charlotte. The company specializes in hurricane protection solutions, custom enclosures, and a wide range of doors and windows.

Hurricane Shutters
Our hurricane shutters provide critical protection against high winds and flying debris during storms. Designed to meet Florida building codes, these durable shutters safeguard windows and doors while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Available in accordion, roll-down, and colonial styles, our solutions combine security with functionality for residential properties in hurricane-prone areas.
Impact Windows
Impact-resistant windows offer permanent protection against hurricane-force winds and debris. Constructed with laminated glass and reinforced frames, these windows enhance home safety while improving energy efficiency. Our professional installation ensures proper sealing and compliance with local building regulations for maximum protection during severe weather events.
Screen Enclosures
Custom screen enclosures keep pests and debris out while maintaining outdoor visibility and airflow. Our designer screen doors and enclosures enhance home aesthetics while providing practical protection for entryways. Durable materials ensure long-lasting performance in Florida's climate without compromising style or functionality.
Garage Enclosures
Garage screen systems protect vulnerable openings from pests and weather damage while allowing ventilation. Available in motorized roll-up or sliding configurations, these enclosures maintain garage accessibility while preventing debris intrusion. Full-size models let customers experience functionality before installation at our showrooms.
Lanai Enclosures
Lanai enclosures convert outdoor spaces into versatile living areas with retractable glass systems. Vertical and horizontal sliding windows create adaptable windbreaks while maintaining open-air access. Tinted options control sunlight exposure, transforming lanais into comfortable extensions of living spaces with customizable weather protection.

These people are the best. I called with a problem with my shutters and even though they were past the warranty, they came out the same day and made the repair at no cost to me. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs shutters.

Really appreciate Active when we have trouble with our commercial garage doors. Fast service, fair pricing, solid employees. Been using them for at least 10 years, so I wanted to leave them a review to let them know I appreciate all the employees I have dealt with. Thanks!

Active Door and Window did a phenomenal job replacing two exterior doors in my home. My experience with the selection, in home measurements, and installation was fantastic. They were cheaper than another installer (for the same doors) and Steve even saved me an additional $200 by informing me my current lock had a lifetime warranty and I could get it replaced by the manufacturer at no charge. Now I ask you, what company does this?
He could've sold me a new lock and I would've been none the wiser! Any company that is this honest, is a company I want to do business with. The two installers arrived on time and did an amazing job. I didn't even have to vacuum when they left. It was perfect. I had the doors painted by professionals in the area and they told me, "whoever installed these doors, did a really good job". So, if you're in the market for doors or windows, I would highly recommend Active Door and Window in Punta Gorda, Florida.

Active installed our front porch enclosure 2 years ago and it still looks great. Dogs love sitting out there - best investment we've made. Call Active if you want a good price, good materials, great service, and people that are great to do business with.

We had all new hurricane windows installed by Active in our Lake Suzy condo. I was totally satisfied and impressed with the installation process. Our condo had no appearance of a construction site upon completion. The most important thing to us is service after the sale. We did have a couple things that needed attention including one window needing replacement. They responded even quicker than we expected them to and took care of us to a level of 100% satisfaction.
