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.
Warning Signs You Need Hurricane Door Install
If any of these match what your door is doing — stop using it and call us. Forcing a damaged door turns a small repair into a major bill.
Almost always means missing wind-load struts or an underrated door. A serious risk before hurricane season.
Pre-2001 doors are usually not rated. Insurance may not pay if it fails in a storm.
Coastal corrosion compromises wind-rating. We assess and quote on-site.
Even rated doors have a service life. Hinges, brackets, and sections weaken over 20+ years.
Not rated. We replace with full impact-rated door + insulated walk-through if needed.
We provide the OIR-B1-1802 form on every install — typically worth $150–$600/yr in premium credits.

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?+
Single-car (8x7 or 9x7) impact doors installed run $2,495–$4,800. Double-car (16x7) impact doors run $3,495–$6,900. Custom estate-grade carriage and aluminum-and-glass doors run $5,500–$14,500. All include 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.
