Garage door repair in Delray Beach, FL.

Repair and installation across Delray Beach.

Delray Beach began as the Town of Delray, incorporated west of the Intracoastal in 1911. The Town of Delray Beach followed east of the waterway in 1923, and the two united as the City of Delray Beach in 1927. The city had 66,846 residents at the 2020 Census, and most of its homes are from the 1970s and 1980s: the Census Bureau's survey puts the median year built 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 Delray Beach: what to know.

Permits: The city's Building Division (Development Services, 100 N.W. 1st Avenue) requires a permit to alter or repair a building, and replacement doors and windows on single-family homes go through its "Exterior Openings" express permit. The city doesn't name garage doors specifically, so we confirm with the Building Division before the job and pull the permit when it applies.

Historic districts: Delray Beach has five local historic districts: West Settlers, Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, Marina and Nassau Park. Exterior changes there need a Certificate of Appropriateness. Under the city's review matrix, a garage door of the same material, size and style is reviewed by staff, while changing the material or style on a contributing building, or changing an opening visible from the street, goes to the Historic Preservation Board. We supply the product details and photos for the application.

City or county?: Many "Delray Beach" addresses west of the city are unincorporated Palm Beach County, including Kings Point, Villages of Oriole, Polo Trace, Valencia Palms, Huntington Lakes and Addison Reserve. Permits for those homes come from the county. Names can be confusing: High Point of Delray Beach is in the city, but High Point of Delray West isn't.

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 east of the Intracoastal, including Nassau Park and the streets along A1A, get more salt air than homes inland. Galvanized or stainless-steel springs and hardware hold up better there.
