1. Measure
Width, height, headroom, backroom and side room, plus the condition of the header and jambs. These decide the size, the lift type and the springs.

Garage Door Installation in Miami
A new garage door in Miami is a hurricane product, a permit and an inspection as much as it is a door. We handle all three: measure the opening, match a door approved for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, file the permit, install it and meet the inspector.
Impact rated doors start at $2,250 installed, and insulated steel doors from $2,750. The price is in writing before anything is ordered.

Step by step
How a Miami garage door install runs
Six steps, the same on a one car townhome door as on a three car house.
2. Choose the door
Pick a style in the styles showroom, see it on your house in the door designer, or start from a door already priced installed in the shop.
3. Match the wind rating
Every opening has a design pressure. We match a door whose product approval covers it; the wind load calculator shows how it is worked out.
4. Permit
We file the permit with the approval for your exact door. The fee is the government's and is passed through at cost; the permit cost page shows each city's.
5. Install and balance
The old door and its springs come down and leave with us. The new tracks, sections, reinforcement and springs go up, and the door is balanced before the opener is connected.
6. Inspect and hand over
We meet the inspector, then show you the manual release, the photo eyes and the remotes, and hand over the product approval with the invoice.
What it costs
Garage door installation prices in Miami
Two published starting points. The final price depends on the size, the model, glass and the design pressure of your opening.
| Door | Installed |
|---|---|
| Impact rated garage door | From $2,250 |
| Insulated steel garage door | From $2,750 |
Included: removal and haul away of the old door, permit filing, installation and the inspection. The permit fee itself is passed through at cost. Financing is available on installs of $500 and up. Not sure a new door is the answer? Read repair or replace first.
Why Miami is different
A hurricane product, not just a door
All of Miami-Dade sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest part of the Florida Building Code. A garage door here has to carry a product approval for the design pressure of its opening, and the inspector checks the label against the permit. That is why a Miami install starts with measurements and a wind rating rather than a catalogue page, and why the doors we fit come from manufacturers whose approvals we can hand you: see hurricane approvals and hurricane garage doors.
The City of Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Hialeah and the other cities each run their own building department, and unincorporated neighbourhoods such as Kendall and Westchester go to the County. We file with the right one for your address. Outside Miami-Dade, see installation in Broward County. For a business, see commercial doors; for a new opener only, see openers and operators.

FAQ
Garage door installation in Miami: questions
How much does garage door installation cost in Miami?
New impact rated garage doors start at $2,250 installed, and insulated steel doors from $2,750. The price depends on the size, the model, glass and the design pressure your opening needs. It includes removing and hauling away the old door, the permit filing and the inspection, and you get it in writing before anything is ordered.
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Miami?
Yes. A replacement garage door is a permitted job everywhere in Miami-Dade, and the door has to carry a product approval for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The City of Miami and the other cities issue their own permits; unincorporated addresses go to the County. We file it with the approval for your exact door and book the inspection. The permit fee is the government's and is passed through at cost.
What do you measure before quoting a new door?
The width and height of the opening, the headroom above it, the backroom from the opening to the back wall, and the side room on each side. Those decide the size, the lift type and the spring setup. We also check the header and jambs the door will be fixed to.
Can I keep my existing opener?
Sometimes. If it is a recent model with working photo eyes and it suits the weight of the new door, we reconnect and adjust it. An older opener, or one too weak for a heavier impact door, is better replaced at the same visit.
Is financing available?
Yes, on installs of $500 and up, through our financing partner. The financing page has the details.
