Davie is one of Broward County’s larger municipalities by land area, with a residential character that ranges from densely planned communities to the semi-rural equestrian properties in the western areas near the Everglades. The town is entirely within the HVHZ. Storm damage here during the 2004-2005 hurricane seasons was extensive, particularly in areas with older construction and unprotected large openings. Awning Stars installs hurricane screens throughout Davie.
What Makes Davie Installations Specific
Large equestrian and agricultural properties. Western Davie’s estate properties often have large outbuildings, expansive covered porches, and outdoor entertaining areas on a scale that’s uncommon in more urban communities. Motorized hurricane screens for these openings are a practical solution for homeowners who need to protect large spans quickly.
University and planned communities. Eastern Davie near Nova Southeastern University has dense planned residential development with HOA governance. We work within community architectural standards and provide the documentation most Davie HOAs require.
Inland location misconceptions. Davie is far enough west that some homeowners believe they’re meaningfully protected by distance from the coast. The 2004-2005 seasons, when Broward County was hit by multiple storms, produced significant structural damage in Davie. Broward County HVHZ requirements apply here because the risk is real.

Motorized Patio Screens for Everyday Use in Davie
Storm protection is only one reason Davie homeowners use motorized patio screens. With the appropriate screen fabric, the system can reduce glare, add privacy, keep insects out, and make a patio or lanai more comfortable while maintaining airflow and the outward view. The screen retracts when an open-air space is preferred.
Every opening is measured for the home rather than treated as a standard size. Even inland Davie properties need a system sized and mounted for local wind-load requirements, especially across wide patio and lanai openings. Awning Stars handles the permitting and installation requirements for the selected system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do hurricane screens meet code in Davie?
Yes. The fabric we install is Miami-Dade approved under NOA #21-0512.04 and is the only roll-down fabric approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Davie is in Broward County, which is an HVHZ jurisdiction, so that approval is exactly what your permit requires.
Can I use them on non-storm days?
Yes. They filter about 88% of UV, cut energy costs, and keep insects, rodents, and most animals off the patio, so Davie homeowners run them year round and close them down only when a storm approaches.
What warranty comes with the screens?
A 10-year transferable warranty on the fabric and a 5-year warranty on the motor. The transferable coverage carries over if you sell the Davie home.
Do they work for HOA communities?
Yes. Many Davie communities have architectural guidelines, and the screens come in colors and finishes that fit HOA review. We handle permitting through the Davie building department.
Do I need a permit for hurricane screens in Davie?
Yes. Davie screens are permitted through the Davie building department to Broward County HVHZ wind-load requirements, and we pull and manage that permit as part of the install.
Why do Davie homes need hurricane screens?
Davie sits inland in Broward County, and screens protect large patio and lanai openings that are hard to cover any other way.
