Garage Door Repair & Installation in Coconut Grove

Repairs on older doors

A lot of Grove garages are older than the doors in them, and damp under the canopy works on the hardware. We check rollers, hinges and the bottom of the track along with the spring, and quote the real fault.

Seals, weatherstripping and insulation

Not every tired door needs replacing. New perimeter seals, a bottom seal and insulation on a sound sectional door keep the garage cooler and drier for much less than a new door.

Openers, including detached garages

We fit LiftMaster openers with myQ and battery backup, and on a detached garage we route the power and safety sensors properly rather than running a cord across the ceiling.

New doors, and the historic question

If the house is historically designated, work that changes the exterior can need a certificate of appropriateness from the City before the permit. We check that first, then order the Clopay, Amarr, Haas or Raynor door, approved for 175 mph.

Commercial doors in the Grove

Rolling grilles and service doors for the shops, restaurants and parking garages in the Grove, booked from 8am so the door is working when you open. First commercial hour $295.

City of Miami permit handled

Coconut Grove permits go through the City of Miami building department. We file the application with the Miami-Dade approval for the exact door and meet the inspector.

Wind rating

Miami-Dade County. This is the pressure a replacement door has to be approved for.

Permits

Coconut Grove is part of the City of Miami, so permits go through the City of Miami building department. Designated historic homes can also need a certificate of appropriateness for exterior changes.

Permit fee for a typical door replacement: about $159.50 for a single or a double door, from the building department's fee schedule of April 23, 2026, passed through at cost. Permit costs by city

Housing here

Older homes on heavily landscaped lots, many with detached garages, much of it inside a City of Miami neighbourhood conservation district.

What catches people out

Some Grove homes are historically designated, and in the City of Miami work that changes the exterior of a designated property needs a certificate of appropriateness, with smaller items approved by staff. A door that changes how the house looks from the street can need that first, so we check the address before we order.

What we fix most in Coconut Grove

Shade, damp and salt. Under the canopy and close to the bay, rollers, hinges and the bottom of the track corrode while the door still looks fine, and worn seals let water and heat in. On a lot of these doors the fix is hardware and seals rather than a new door.
