The largest opening in your house deserves more than a catalogue pick

A garage door is typically a third of the street-facing elevation of a Florida home, the biggest structural opening in the building, and the single component most likely to fail in a wind event. That makes a replacement three decisions at once: how it looks, how it performs in heat and salt, and what it is rated to withstand.

We start from your address. Wind-load requirements differ across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Sarasota and Manatee counties, and in high-velocity hurricane zones the product needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Once the rating is settled, we show you the doors that meet it in the style you actually want — not the other way round.

What the installation includes

On-site measure, wind-load check and written quote with product data
Permit application and inspection coordination where the county requires it
Removal and disposal of the old door, tracks and hardware
New tracks, hinges, rollers, springs sized to the new door weight, and reinforcing struts
Coastal-spec hardware and weather sealing at the jambs and threshold
Opener re-integration, force calibration and safety reverse testing
Handover with warranty documents and maintenance guidance

Choosing a door

What to weigh before you buy

Wind-load rating

Non-negotiable and address-specific. Ask for the rating and the approval number, not a reassurance.

Insulation value

An insulated door in a garage that shares a wall with living space is a measurable comfort and utility difference in Florida heat.

Material and finish

Steel with a coastal coating, aluminium with glass, or composite wood-look. Real wood needs real maintenance here.

Window and glass options

Impact-rated glazing, obscure and frosted options, and how much street-level privacy you want.

Hardware spec

Galvanised or stainless fixings, sealed bearings and nylon rollers if you are near the water.

Opener compatibility

Heavier and insulated doors sometimes need a stronger drive or a new spring set on the same visit.

Our process

What the visit looks like

Measure and specify

On-site measure, opening check, wind-load determination and a written quote with product literature.

Permit and order

We file the permit where required and order the exact rated product for your address.

Install day

Old door out, new door, tracks, springs and hardware in, sealed, calibrated and tested — most single installs in a day.

Inspection and handover

We meet the inspector where applicable and leave you with warranties and NOA documentation.

Pricing

What a new door costs

Installed pricing depends on the door, the rating and what the opening needs. These are the real drivers.

Factor	Why it matters
Size and configuration	A single 8x7 versus a double 16x7 versus two singles changes both product and labour.
Wind and impact rating	Higher-velocity zones and impact-rated glazing carry a material premium — and are frequently mandatory.
Insulation and construction	Single-layer steel through triple-layer polyurethane sandwich construction.
Glass and design	Window sections, full-view aluminium and custom overlays sit well above stamped steel.
Opening condition	Rotten jambs, out-of-square openings and header work add scope; we quote it before install day.
Permits and inspection	County fees and inspection coordination, itemised in the quote rather than buried.

Every job is quoted in writing on site before work starts. Ranges given by phone are estimates until a technician sees the door.

Coastal specification matters

Within a few miles of the Atlantic or the Gulf, an ordinary galvanised finish and standard hardware will show rust in a couple of seasons. We specify coastal-grade coatings, stainless or hot-dip fixings, sealed nylon rollers and marine-rated bottom seals as a default east of I-95 and along the Gulf beaches, and we will tell you plainly when your address does not need the upgrade.

FAQ

Garage Door Installation — questions we get asked

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard single or double replacement is a one-day job, typically four to six hours. Custom, full-view or multi-door projects and openings that need carpentry can extend to two days.

Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Florida?

In most South and Southwest Florida jurisdictions, yes — a garage door is a structural opening and the replacement is permitted and inspected. We handle the application and the inspection.

What is a Miami-Dade NOA and do I need one?

A Notice of Acceptance is a product approval issued by Miami-Dade County. It is required in high-velocity hurricane zones — Miami-Dade and Broward — and is widely accepted elsewhere as proof of rating. See our hurricane-rated doors page.

Can I keep my existing opener?

Usually. We re-integrate and recalibrate it for the new door weight. If the door is significantly heavier or the opener is near end of life we will say so rather than let it fail in six months.

Do you remove and dispose of the old door?

Yes, included. The old door, tracks, springs and hardware leave with us.

How long do new doors last in Florida?

A well-specified coastal steel or aluminium door typically gives 15 to 25 years here; hardware and springs are the wear items and are serviceable long before the door is.
