Spring Replacement
Torsion springs near the water rust from the inside and snap early. We replace them in matched pairs with galvanized coils, reset the balance, and test the door by hand. Most jobs run $200 to $500 installed.

Garage doors in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale housing stock splits in ways that matter for doors. Coral Ridge, Imperial Point and Poinsettia Heights are full of 1950s and 1960s concrete block ranches with original 16 by 7 openings, low headroom, and torsion hardware never sized for a modern insulated door. On the Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista and Harbor Beach you get wide two and three car openings, custom wood and glass panels, and homes sitting a hundred feet from brackish water. Anything within a mile of the Intracoastal or the New River picks up salt. Springs, cable drums and roller stems rust from the inside out, so a door here usually fails at the hardware long before the panels show any age.

What we do here
Repairs and installation in Fort Lauderdale
02
Cables and Drums
Frayed cable is a common salt air failure on older canal side homes. We replace both cables as a set, check the drums for grooving, and re-level the door so it stops pulling to one side.
03
Opener Repair and Install
Dead board, stripped gear, bad safety eyes or a unit that hums and does nothing. Repairs typically run $150 to $300. A new opener supplied and installed is usually $350 to $650 depending on horsepower and drive type.
04
Off Track Doors
A door off its track after a bump or a snapped cable is not a DIY fix. We secure the door, reseat the rollers, straighten or replace bent track sections, and check the hinges before we hand it back.
05
New Door Installation
Replacing a door in Broward means a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ rated Florida Product Approval, because Broward sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, plus a permit and an inspection. We handle the paperwork, pull the old door, and set the new one plumb. If your job prices over $2,500, there is one page you sign yourself, the construction lien law notice in your contract, and we walk you through it first. Single doors typically run $700 to $2,000 installed, doubles $1,200 to $4,000.
06
Corrosion Tune Up
Once a year near the beach is not overkill. We lubricate the torsion bar and bearings, tighten hardware, wipe salt residue off the springs and rollers, and reset the opener force. Most tune ups run $90 to $150.
Questions
Fort Lauderdale garage door questions
How quickly can you reach a Fort Lauderdale address?
It depends on traffic and where the job sits. Crossing the New River on Federal Highway, or catching a bridge opening on Las Olas, can add twenty minutes at the wrong hour. Call (754) 654-9756 and we will give you a real arrival window rather than a guess.
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door?
Yes. Broward cities permit and inspect garage door replacement, because the door carries wind load for the whole house. The model needs a current Florida Product Approval matched to your opening size and exposure. Confirm both the permit and the approval before any door is ordered.
