Good to know
New doors are permitted through our general contractor partner, and we work around your association's architectural review.
Weston was built as a master-planned community.
The first homes were finished in 1984 in Country Isles and Windmill Ranch, before Hurricane Andrew changed South Florida's wind rules for garage doors in the 1990s. If your home is from the 1980s and still has its original door, it may not be wind-rated. Homes from the mid-1990s on almost always started with rated doors.
Nearly every Weston neighborhood has a homeowners association with architectural review.
For a new door, expect the association to approve the style, color and window pattern before the permit. We give you the specs and photos to submit and don't order the door until you have the approval.
Weston is its own city, so a new door is permitted with the City of Weston, not Broward County.

Common garage door problems in Weston
In Weston, the usual problems come with doors that are 20 to 40 years old in well-kept communities: springs at the end of their life, noisy rollers that the neighbors can hear, and openers that are loud or stop during a power outage. Replacing the torsion springs and adding quiet nylon rollers in the same visit takes care of both.
Because so many homes have a bedroom or a family room next to or over the garage, quiet matters. A belt-drive opener with battery backup is much quieter than an old chain unit, and it keeps working when the power goes out.
Weston homes and their doors
Weston was planned and built as one community, starting with Country Isles and Windmill Ranch in 1984, and incorporated as a city in 1996. Bonaventure was developed separately. That timeline matters for your door:
- 1980s homes (early Country Isles and Windmill Ranch, and the older parts of Bonaventure): built before the post-Andrew door rules, so original doors may not be wind-rated.
- 1990s and 2000s homes (most of the rest of Weston): usually built with rated doors, now 20 to 30 years old.
- HOA architectural review almost everywhere, with set palettes and styles.
Garage door installation in Weston
New doors are permitted by the City of Weston, after your association signs off. The door must carry a current Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The door is permitted through our general contractor partner. If your door isn’t rated, compare bracing vs a new impact door, and see how a rated door can affect insurance in garage doors and wind mitigation.

Common questions
Does my Weston HOA have to approve a new garage door?
In almost every Weston neighborhood, yes. The association's architectural review usually covers style, color and windows. We send you the door specs and photos for the application, and we only order the door once you have the approval and the permit, which is permitted through our general contractor partner.
My home is in Country Isles from the 1980s. Is my garage door hurricane-rated?
Maybe not, if it is the original door. Homes finished before the mid-1990s were built before the stronger post-Andrew door rules. Look for a product approval label on the door edge or inside a panel. A tune-up includes a written report on the door's rating, and if it isn't rated, we can quote a bracing kit for the existing door.
Do garage door repairs in Weston need HOA approval?
No. Springs, cables, rollers and openers don't change how the door looks, so they are just repairs. We quote them in writing before any work starts.
Can your garage door technician get into gated communities in Weston?
Yes. Add SolvTek Garage Doors to your guest list or gate app, or let the guardhouse know we are coming. We text you when we are on the way so you can confirm.
