What Do You Need?
Match your situation to the right service path before requesting.
- Door will not open or close: This can point to a spring, cable, opener, or sensor problem. Start with the repair page to review common symptoms before requesting service.
- Opener runs but the door is slow or heavy: A slow or heavy door can signal a spring or roller issue, not just an opener problem. A balance check should be part of the service call.
- Door is off-track or crooked: Off-track doors need a professional to realign the door and check for underlying spring, cable, or hardware damage before operating it again.
- Storm or water damage: Wind, flooding, and saltwater exposure can affect tracks, panels, bottom seals, and door ratings. Post-storm work may also involve a permit review depending on the scope.
- Considering a new door: Replacement has different requirements than repair, including Florida product approval and a permit submittal depending on your jurisdiction and door type.

Common Questions
What is the common garage door repair?
Spring and opener problems are the commonly reported repairs. Springs wear out over time, and openers can fail from power surges, sensor misalignment, or worn drive components. A door that feels heavy when lifted manually is more likely a spring issue than an opener issue.
How do I know if I need repair or replacement?
Repeated repairs on the same component, visible panel damage, a door that no longer meets current wind or flood requirements, or a door older than 15 to 20 years are typical reasons to consider replacement. A service call will usually clarify which path makes sense.
Does homeowners insurance cover garage door damage?
Coverage depends on the cause. Wind or storm damage is often covered if you carry hurricane or windstorm coverage. Flood damage usually requires a separate flood policy. Check your policy before requesting repair or replacement work, since documentation requirements vary by insurer.
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Florida?
Permit requirements depend on your jurisdiction and the scope of work. Florida law sets minimum wind-resistance standards, and replacement doors must meet state product approval. A same-size residential replacement may qualify for a simpler path, but local permit requirements still apply. Check with your local building department before starting.
How long does a garage door opener last?
Most residential openers last 10 to 15 years depending on usage and exposure. Heat and saltwater air can accelerate wear on hardware and circuit boards. If your opener is in that range and failing repeatedly, replacement is often more practical than continued repair.
