Garage door repair in Tequesta, FL.

Repair and installation across Tequesta.

The Village of Tequesta was incorporated on June 4, 1957, at the north end of Palm Beach County, between the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal and the ocean. It had 6,158 residents at the 2020 Census. Most of its homes went up in the 1960s and 1970s, and the Census Bureau's survey puts the median year built at 1977.

We repair and replace garage doors across the village: 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 Tequesta: what to know.

Permits: The village's Building Department (345 Tequesta Drive) handles garage doors on its window, door and shutter worksheet, which has a box for garage doors and lists the pressures they must meet: +38.6/−43.7 psf for a 9×7 door and +37.0/−41.2 psf for a 16×7 door on homes up to 30 feet tall. The submittal requirements ask for the product approval, a door schedule and wind loads. We pull the permit and handle the paperwork.

HOA approval first: For any property in an HOA, Tequesta requires written HOA approval before it issues the permit. We give you the product details your association asks for, so the approval comes back before we schedule the install.

Village or not?: Several "Tequesta" addresses aren't in the village. Tequesta Hills, Tequesta Villas, Bermuda Terrace, Jupiter Cresta and Waterway Village are unincorporated Palm Beach County; parts of Riverside on the Loxahatchee and Jupiter in the Pines are in the Town of Jupiter; and Jupiter Inlet Colony is its own town. We serve all of them and pull the permit from the right office.

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: The village sits between the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal and the ocean, and its flood page notes the low elevation of many homes. Galvanized or stainless-steel springs and hardware hold up better near the water.
