Garage door repair in Boca Raton, FL.

Repair and installation across Boca Raton.

Boca Raton was incorporated in 1925, at the height of the Florida land boom, and had 97,422 residents at the 2020 Census, on about 30 square miles at the southern end of Palm Beach County. The Census Bureau's survey puts the median year built of its homes at 1983.

We repair and replace garage doors across the city: broken torsion springs, frayed cables, worn rollers, bent tracks, opener repair and replacement, and new doors, including impact-rated doors for hurricane protection. You get the price before any work starts, and every spring we install comes with a 1-year parts and labor warranty.

Replacing a garage door in Boca Raton: what to know.

Permits: Boca Raton's Building Permits and Inspections division handles garage doors under its over-the-counter window, door and shutter permit for single-family homes, and its windload design form has a section just for garage doors. The product approval has to be on site for the inspection, and if the opening itself is being changed, the permit goes back for structural review. We pull the permit as part of the job.

Wind speed: Boca isn't in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but because it borders Broward County, the city designs for a 170 mph wind speed citywide. A replacement door here needs product approval for the design pressures that speed produces at your home.

Historic districts: Boca Raton has two local historic districts, Old Floresta and Pearl City, plus individually designated historic sites. Exterior changes there, including garage door replacements, need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board, and Pearl City's design guidelines cap garage doors at 10 feet tall. We supply the product details and photos for the application.

City or county?: Some of the best-known "Boca Raton" communities aren't in the city. Boca West, Boca Falls, the Polo Club, St. Andrews Country Club, Saturnia Isles, Boca Grove Plantation and Boca Del Mar are unincorporated Palm Beach County, so their permits come from the county. Woodfield Country Club, Broken Sound and The Sanctuary are inside the city.

Hurricane rules: Palm Beach County is a wind-borne debris region under the Florida Building Code. It is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers only Miami-Dade and Broward. Replacement garage doors here need to be impact-rated or protected by approved shutters, with Florida Product Approval for your home's design pressure. More on hurricane-rated garage doors.

Salt air: Homes along the Intracoastal, around Lake Boca Raton and near the beach get more salt air than homes inland. Galvanized or stainless-steel springs and hardware hold up better there.
