For garage door repair in Punta Gorda, Charlotte County, FL, call Punta Gorda Garage Door.
Looks are only one part of choosing a garage door in Punta Gorda. The door also has to meet Florida's wind-load requirements for its location, it has to stand up to salt air, and it has to fit a garage that might be part of a villa, a canal-front house or a newer home off Burnt Store Road.
The wind rating
Florida's building code requires a replacement door to carry a wind-load rating suited to where the house sits. The rating depends on the door, the bracing and how the tracks are fastened. We order a door that meets the rating for your address, install it the way the manufacturer specifies and leave the rating label on the door. Ask to see it.
Sizes and types
Single-car doors are common on villas and coach homes. Most detached houses have either one 16-foot door or two single doors. Some larger homes have a separate golf cart door. We measure the opening, headroom and side room before ordering.
Materials
Steel is the most common choice. Insulated steel is stiffer, quieter and keeps the garage a little cooler in summer, which helps the opener and anything stored inside. Carriage-style doors are popular on newer homes. Doors with glass are possible, but rated glass is part of the wind rating, so the choice of windows affects the price.
For salt air, ask about galvanized steel, good paint finishes and stainless or coated hardware.
Prices on this site's table
An uninsulated single steel door comes to $810 to $1,105. A single insulated door comes to $1,040 to $1,925. A double, two-car door comes to $1,570 to $3,450. Those include installation. Your exact figure is given before the order goes in.
What is included
We remove the old door, tracks and springs, install the new door with new hardware, and set up or reconnect the opener. The door is balanced and the safety reverse is tested. Parts carry their manufacturer's warranty.
After a storm
If your door was damaged in a hurricane and needs replacing, call (941) 948-2166. We can secure it first and then measure for the new one.
