Hurricane-Rated Garage Door Installation — Broward HVHZ & Palm Beach WBDR
Your garage door is the largest opening in your home — and the #1 way wind enters and tears off the roof during a hurricane. We install Florida-code impact-rated doors with full Miami-Dade NOA, OIR-B1-1802 insurance forms, and permit filing.
Why Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors Matter in South Florida
When wind breaches a garage door, internal pressure spikes 30–50% and the roof becomes the next thing to go. FEMA studies after Hurricane Andrew, Wilma, and Irma all identified garage door failure as the #1 cause of total home losses. Broward County is an HVHZ (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) requiring Miami-Dade NOA approval; Palm Beach County requires WBDR (wind-borne debris) compliance. We install both, file the permit, and provide insurance documentation that earns wind-mitigation credits.
Not a handyman with a truck. We pull the permit in our name and stand behind it for the life of the install.
Most shops special-order — we stock the top 6 Clopay/Amarr/CHI sizes in white, almond, and bronze. Often installed in under 2 weeks vs 6-week factory wait.
The OIR-B1-1802 form we file usually saves homeowners $150–$600/year on wind insurance — the door pays for itself faster than people expect.
We have prior approvals on file in 40+ Boca, Delray, Parkland, and Palm Beach communities — shaves weeks off your HOA process.
Choosing The Right Door
Insulation Types & R-Value Explained
R-value measures how well a panel resists heat transfer — the higher the number, the cooler your garage stays in the South Florida sun, the less strain on your AC, and the quieter the door. Here is how the four construction types compare side by side.
Detached garages, sheds & workshops you don't heat or cool.
Lowest cost · loudest · no thermal break
Most South Florida homes — better comfort and quieter operation.
Rigid foam board between two steel skins
Attached garages where you want a sturdier, quieter door.
Steel · foam · steel — extra rigidity and sound dampening
Living space above the garage, AC'd garages, or homes near busy roads.
Injected, bonded foam — strongest, quietest, most efficient

Hurricane Door Install — Common Questions
Is a hurricane-rated garage door required by Florida code?+
If you live in Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach County and you are replacing a garage door, yes. Broward and Miami-Dade are HVHZ (require Miami-Dade NOA); Palm Beach County is WBDR (requires Florida Product Approval). Permits will not pass inspection without rated hardware.
How much does a hurricane-rated garage door cost in South Florida?+
Cost depends on door size and style — single-car (8x7 or 9x7), double-car (16x7), and custom estate-grade carriage or aluminum-and-glass doors are all priced differently. We give you a firm, all-in quote after a free in-home consultation, and every quote includes permit and NOA filing.
Will a new hurricane garage door lower my insurance?+
Yes — typically by $150–$600 per year on the wind-insurance portion of your homeowners policy. We file the OIR-B1-1802 wind-mitigation form on every install. Most homeowners recover the door's cost in 5–10 years through insurance savings alone.
Do I need a permit to replace my garage door?+
Yes — every municipality in South Florida requires a permit for garage door replacement. We pull the permit, file the NOA / Florida Product Approval paperwork, and schedule the final inspection. Permit fees are billed at city cost with no markup.
What brands of impact garage doors do you install?+
Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and Haas — all in Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval configurations. We carry the most common sizes (8x7, 9x7, 16x7) in stock; custom estate doors are special-order with a typical 3–5 week lead time.
How long does installation take?+
Permit issuance takes 3–10 business days depending on city. The actual installation is a one-day job for standard doors (4–6 hours, two-tech crew). Custom estate carriage doors may need a second day for trim and paint.
