New door
Steel, insulated and carriage-style doors installed with springs sized to the real weight, sealed rollers and a tuned opener, so the new door glides from the first trip.
Talk through new door options — (239) 388-2592A new door is a bigger decision, so we start with the opening: width, height, headroom, side room and the wind load the home requires. In Florida a replacement door needs a permit, a Florida product approval and an inspection after the work.
Insulated sections, sealed rollers and the right springs make a new door quieter as well as tougher. The old door, tracks and springs come out together, and the new door goes in balanced, with the opener adjusted to suit its weight.
Fixing three or four panels one at a time approaches the expense of a new door, yet the remaining sections keep aging.

When matching sections and hardware are discontinued and the door keeps needing something, replacement is the more sensible spend.
An older door lacking a product approval label may fall short of the design pressure a replacement door must meet at your opening.
Opening size, headroom and required design pressure narrow the field to approved doors, and you pick the style, insulation and windows you like.
We order the door and prepare the permit paperwork, ahead of the inspection that signs off the finished installation.
The old door comes out, the new sections, track and springs go in as the approval specifies, and the opener is adjusted and tested.
A single-door install generally takes part of a day once the door is on site, while double doors and custom sizes take longer. The wait before that depends on ordering and the permit, and the inspection comes after the work.
A full replacement door in Florida normally needs a building permit, plus a door whose product approval matches the design pressure at your opening. Repairs such as springs, rollers and openers usually do not. We explain what applies.
Frequently, provided it is in good condition and suits the new door's weight. Insulated and wind-rated doors can outweigh what an older unit was sized for, and we will tell you if the opener should be replaced too.
Talk it over before you start shopping. Occasionally the best answer is a repair, and that is worth hearing first.
