Why commercial glazing in Mexico Beach is different.
Mexico Beach is rebuilding from ground zero. Hurricane Michael obliterated the town in 2018 — every commercial structure built since is post-Michael current code, 140 mph design wind, full WBDR impact, and the most carefully inspected commercial work in the Panhandle. ACG bids Mexico Beach with current FL Product Approval impact NOAs and the anchor calc engineering Bay County requires.
Architectural context: Mexico Beach was destroyed by Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018 — Cat 5 direct hit, 160 mph sustained winds, ground zero. Everything built since is current code, post-Michael standard, and the most rigorously inspected commercial in the Panhandle.

Mexico Beach commercial glazing questions, answered.
Was Mexico Beach really destroyed by Michael?
Yes. Hurricane Michael made landfall just east of Mexico Beach as a Cat 5 on October 10, 2018. Most of the town's commercial structures were destroyed or severely damaged.
Is every Mexico Beach commercial project new construction?
Effectively yes — almost everything commercial post-2018 is new build. Impact NOA and current FBC compliance is the baseline.
Lead time on Mexico Beach commercial?
10–14 weeks for impact storefront. The supply chain into rural Bay County adds 1–2 weeks vs. metro markets.
Who permits Mexico Beach?
City of Mexico Beach has its own building department. Bay County Builders Services handles unincorporated areas.
Can you handle small-restaurant reconstruction packages?
Yes. Small-restaurant impact storefront and entrance is inside our standard scope.
