Garage door replacement, rated for the Bay.
Your garage door is a third of your home's face and the largest opening in its windbreak. When it's time, we install hurricane-rated doors from Clopay, Amarr, CHI, and Wayne Dalton — and we'll tell you honestly if it isn't time yet.
Repair or replace — the honest math.
We sell more repairs than doors, and that's on purpose: if your door is under 20 years old with sound panels, repair almost always wins. A spring, a cable, even a single panel — those are repairs, not reasons to spend four figures.
Replacement starts making sense when the math flips:
- The door predates 2002 — before Florida's post-Andrew wind-load code matured. Older doors are the #1 failure point in hurricane damage; when the garage door goes, the roof often follows.
- Rust has reached the structure — surface rust is cosmetic, but corrosion at the hinges, struts, or panel seams near the bay is structural.
- You're paying for the third repair this year — at that point you're financing a new door on the installment plan and not getting one.
- Your insurer is asking about it — wind-rated doors can earn wind-mitigation discounts in Florida that quietly pay back part of the door over a few years.
Bring us out for an estimate and we'll put both numbers in front of you — repair cost against replacement with the discount math — and let you decide. No pressure either direction; we live here, and the long game is your trust.
What it costs.
Every quote covers the whole job — door, springs sized to its weight, new tracks, haul-away of the old door, and permits where required. South Tampa's older neighborhoods have plenty of non-standard openings; Hyde Park bungalows especially. We measure first, promise after.
