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.
Standard garage door sizes typically fall into two categories: single and double-car garage doors. Single-car garage doors are usually 8 to 9 feet wide and 7 to 8 feet high, whereas double-car garage doors are typically 16 feet wide and 7 to 8 feet high. We carry most of the standard sizes with basic designs and colors in stock and are ready to install them within two weeks of the order.
Our standard service call usually takes about an hour. However, if there are any repair services needed, it may take longer.
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.
