Garage doors need to be reinforced in high-wind conditions, but many people are unaware of this fact. These doors are often referred to as Wind Load Rated, Storm/Hurricane Rated, or simply Wind Rated. As the homeowner, you are responsible for choosing the appropriate wind load product to meet or exceed your local building code, with the help of your builder and garage door dealer. Local wind load requirements for garage doors can vary depending on the size of the door, its location on the structure, and the local wind zone, among other factors. Homeowners are responsible for making sure their garage doors meet local building codes. Our hurricane garage doors are the best way to protect your property from the most severe weather conditions.
There are several types of garage doors, including sectional, roll-up, and slide to the side garage doors. In South Florida area, the most common is the sectional garage door, which consists of several panels that slide up and overhead. The best type for you depends on your garage's size, shape, wind-load requirements in your specific area & functionality.
Our standard maintenance service includes a detailed examination of your door and motor for wear and tear. We'll lubricate all moving components and adjust the springs and tracks if necessary. This reduces squeaking from rollers, hinges, and springs, and extends the lifetime of the mechanism. A spray-on lubricant (suitable for garages in particular) is used.
There are several signs that indicate your garage door needs servicing. If your door is making unusual noises, is slow to open or close, or if the door feels heavy when operated manually, these are all signs that you should have your door serviced.
