New Garage Door Installation
New doors measured, ordered by model and balanced on springs sized for their weight.
A new garage door in South Florida starts with a code question: how much wind pressure and what level of impact protection the opening needs at your address. The garage door is usually the largest opening in the house, and DASMA notes that it can be blown inward or pulled outward, so the door, tracks, jamb attachment and springs have to work as one tested assembly. The Florida Division of Emergency Management states that in Miami-Dade and Broward, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, new products must meet a stricter test standard than elsewhere in the state, and that the building department checks the product approval when a permit is pulled.
We measure the opening, confirm the requirement for your address, and select a door whose approval or label covers it. We install the door with its matching track, hardware and spring set, not the old track under a new door, which DASMA cautions against. Then we set the balance, fit the opener and hand over the label and product approval details.
Reasons to Choose a Whole New Door
- The current door has no wind or impact rating on its label
- Sections are cracked, rusted through or beyond sensible repair
- The door is original to a house several decades old
- A remodel or repaint calls for a matching new door
- The garage is hot and the door has no insulation
- An association asks for a different door style or color
🌊 The Hurricane Coast Factor
The Florida Division of Emergency Management's Hurricane Retrofit Guide defines large windborne debris as a 9-pound 2x4 striking at 34 mph, and says that new products in Miami-Dade and Broward counties must meet the Miami-Dade standard, while elsewhere in the state either of two standards applies. A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for a sectional garage door states that the door was designed to comply with the Florida Building Code including the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, calls for a permanent label showing positive and negative design pressure, and must be available at the job site for the building official. We work from that paperwork, not from a catalog description.
