Garage door repair and installation in Miramar

Miramar has two kinds of garage door problems, and they mostly depend on which side of I-75 you live on. In East Miramar, it is older doors: broken springs, worn cables and doors that have had the same rollers for decades. West of I-75, it is builder-installed equipment reaching the end of its life: openers that stop responding, safety sensors knocked out of line, and springs that finally give out after 20 years of two trips a day.

If your door goes down and pops back up, start with the sensors. Our guide on why a garage door goes down then back up shows what to check before you call.

Miramar was incorporated in 1955 and named after the Miramar neighborhood in Havana. For decades it was a small town east of University Drive. Then, from the 1990s on, planned communities spread west toward I-75 and beyond, and the population passed 100,000.

• East Miramar: block homes from the town’s early decades, many with original doors and extension springs.
• Western Miramar: gated and HOA communities with double doors, builder openers and, often, the original springs.
• Townhomes: single doors in tight garages, where sensors get bumped and openers work hard.

New doors are permitted by the City of Miramar building division. Broward and Miami-Dade share the same High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the door must carry a current Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the zone, and most HOAs want to approve the style first. The door is permitted through our general contractor partner. For insurance savings with a rated door, read garage doors and wind mitigation.
