Impact Garage Door Installation in West Palm Beach — Built for Palm Beach County WBDR
Your garage door is the largest opening on your home and the first thing a hurricane attacks. We install Florida-code impact doors for West Palm Beach and all of Palm Beach County, handle the permit, complete the OIR-B1-1802 wind-mitigation form and stand behind every job.
Why Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors Matter in South Florida
When wind breaches a garage door, internal pressure spikes 30–50% and the roof becomes the next thing to go. FEMA studies after Hurricane Andrew, Wilma, and Irma all identified garage door failure as the #1 cause of total home losses. Broward County is an HVHZ (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) requiring Miami-Dade NOA approval; Palm Beach County requires WBDR (wind-borne debris) compliance. We install both, file the permit, and provide insurance documentation that earns wind-mitigation credits.
Not a handyman with a truck. We pull the permit in our name and stand behind it for the life of the install.
Most shops special-order — we stock the top 6 Clopay/Amarr/CHI sizes in white, almond, and bronze. Often installed in under 2 weeks vs 6-week factory wait.
The OIR-B1-1802 form we file usually saves homeowners $150–$600/year on wind insurance — the door pays for itself faster than people expect.
We have prior approvals on file in 40+ Boca, Delray, Parkland, and Palm Beach communities — shaves weeks off your HOA process.
Choosing The Right Door
Insulation Types & R-Value Explained
R-value measures how well a panel resists heat transfer — the higher the number, the cooler your garage stays in the South Florida sun, the less strain on your AC, and the quieter the door. Here is how the four construction types compare side by side.
Detached garages, sheds & workshops you don't heat or cool.
Lowest cost · loudest · no thermal break
Most South Florida homes — better comfort and quieter operation.
Rigid foam board between two steel skins
Attached garages where you want a sturdier, quieter door.
Steel · foam · steel — extra rigidity and sound dampening
Living space above the garage, AC'd garages, or homes near busy roads.
Injected, bonded foam — strongest, quietest, most efficient

Hurricane Door Install — Common Questions
Is a hurricane-rated garage door required by Florida code?+
If you live in Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach County and you are replacing a garage door, yes. Broward and Miami-Dade are HVHZ (require Miami-Dade NOA); Palm Beach County is WBDR (requires Florida Product Approval). Permits will not pass inspection without rated hardware.

Single-car (8x7 or 9x7) impact doors installed run $2,495–$4,800. Double-car (16x7) impact doors run $3,495–$6,900. Custom estate-grade carriage and aluminum-and-glass doors run $5,500–$14,500. All include permit and NOA filing.
Will a new hurricane garage door lower my insurance?+
Yes — typically by $150–$600 per year on the wind-insurance portion of your homeowners policy. We file the OIR-B1-1802 wind-mitigation form on every install. Most homeowners recover the door's cost in 5–10 years through insurance savings alone.
Do I need a permit to replace my garage door?+
Yes — every municipality in South Florida requires a permit for garage door replacement. We pull the permit, file the NOA / Florida Product Approval paperwork, and schedule the final inspection. Permit fees are billed at city cost with no markup.

Permit issuance takes 3–10 business days depending on city. The actual installation is a one-day job for standard doors (4–6 hours, two-tech crew). Custom estate carriage doors may need a second day for trim and paint.
