Commercial Garage Door Installation Service
Commercial garage door installations require three key elements: industrial-grade materials, specialized equipment, and expert technical knowledge. We handle everything from heavy-duty rolling steel doors to high-speed fabric doors, ensuring your business gets the perfect solution for its needs.
When you search for “garage door installation near me,” we’ll respond quickly with our commercial installation team. Our experienced technicians are available 24/7 for emergency installations and urgent commercial door needs.
We’re equipped to install various industrial door systems, including fire-rated doors and our certified technicians understand commercial building codes and safety regulations. During the commercial garage door installation process, we’ll assess your facility’s specific requirements, recommend the most suitable door system, and complete the installation with minimal disruption to your operations.
Garage Door Tracks
The proper installation of garage door tracks plays a central role in both residential and commercial door systems. We recognize that these metal channels guide your door’s rollers, guaranteeing smooth operation and proper alignment throughout the opening and closing cycle. When you choose our garage door company, we carefully measure and install tracks to prevent common issues like binding, jerking, or derailing. As your new garage door company, we confirm the horizontal and vertical tracks are perfectly level and parallel, maintaining the proper spacing for your specific door weight and size.
We’ll inspect your tracks for any signs of damage, rust, or misalignment during installation and maintenance visits. If we spot bent sections or alignment problems, we can either repair or replace them to keep your garage door operating safely and efficiently.
Garage Door Springs & Cables
Since your garage door’s lifting mechanism relies on precise engineering, springs and cables work together as essential components that counterbalance the door’s weight. We install both torsion springs, which mount above the door opening, and extension springs, which run alongside the horizontal tracks. Our skilled technicians guarantee proper tensioning to prevent premature wear and dangerous breakages. The cables we install are high-grade galvanized steel, designed to withstand thousands of cycles while maintaining peak safety. We’ll secure these cables to the bottom brackets and guide them through the drums, creating a reliable lifting system. When we’re handling your spring and cable installation, we’ll test the door’s balance multiple times to confirm smooth operation and verify that all safety mechanisms are functioning correctly.
Door Opener Motor
Modern garage door opener motors provide reliable power and convenience while incorporating advanced safety features. We’ll help you select the right motor based on your door’s weight, usage frequency, and desired features. Today’s models offer quiet belt drives or robust chain systems, with horsepower ratings from 1/2 to 1-1/4 HP. We’ll guarantee proper installation of limit switches and force settings to protect both the motor and your garage door.
Door Sensors
Safety-critical door sensors form an essential component of any garage door system, acting as vigilant guardians against accidents and injuries. We install photoelectric sensors on both sides of your garage door, about six inches from the ground. These sensors create an invisible beam that detects any objects, pets, or people in the door’s path. When something breaks this infrared beam, the sensors immediately signal the opener to stop and reverse the door’s motion. We’ll guarantee your sensors are properly aligned and securely mounted to prevent false triggers or malfunctions. Regular testing of these sensors is vital – we recommend checking them monthly by placing an object in the door’s path while it’s closing. If they’re not working correctly, we’ll diagnose and repair the issue promptly to maintain your garage door’s safety features.
Opener & Accessory Configuration
Once your garage door components are properly installed, we’ll configure your opener system and all accessories to work seamlessly together. We’ll program your remote controls, keypad entry systems, and smartphone connectivity features to guarantee reliable operation. Our technicians will also set the proper force settings and travel limits on your opener to prevent damage and guarantee smooth functionality. We’ll walk you through using your new system, including how to operate the emergency release, adjust sensitivity settings, and utilize special features like vacation mode and automatic closing timers. If you’ve opted for smart home integration, we’ll help connect your opener to your preferred platform and demonstrate how to control your door through voice commands or mobile apps.
Types of Garage Doors We Install
We specialize in installing popular garage door styles that suit diverse residential and commercial needs.

Both options offer durability and reliability, with customizable features to match your property’s aesthetic and functional requirements.

Each panel can be customized with decorative windows, insulation, and various finishes to match your home’s exterior.

Garage Door Installation Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a New Garage Door Cost?
Homeowners often wonder about the investment required for a new garage door, with prices typically ranging from $500 to $3,500 installed. The final cost depends on several key factors, including material type, size, insulation, and design features. Single-layer steel doors start at the lower end of the price range, while custom wood doors or highly insulated models can reach the upper end. Don’t forget to factor in additional costs like openers ($150-$500), windows ($100-$400 per window), and smart features ($100-$500). If you’re replacing an existing door, removal and disposal fees typically may incur additional costs to the total project cost.
What Is the Average Labor Cost in Florida for Garage Door Installation?
When hiring professionals in Florida, labor costs for garage door installation typically range from $200 to $500, depending on the door’s complexity and your location within the state. Miami and Orlando tend to have higher rates than smaller cities and rural areas. We’ve found that standard single-car doors usually cost less to install than double-car doors or custom designs. Keep in mind that labor costs don’t include the price of the door itself, springs, tracks, or additional hardware. You’ll also want to factor in potential fees for removing your old door, which can add $50-$100 to the total. If you need emergency installation services or repairs outside regular business hours, expect to pay 20-50% more in labor charges.
How Long Does it Take to Professionally Install a Garage Door?
Beyond considering labor costs, understanding the installation timeline helps you plan effectively. A professional garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours for a standard residential door. However, we’ve found that several factors can affect this time-frame. Custom doors, electrical work, or removing an old door can add 1-2 hours to the process. If we’re installing additional features like smart openers or safety sensors, expect greater installation times. Commercial installations generally take longer, ranging from 6-8 hours due to larger dimensions and complex mechanisms. We’ll need extra time if we encounter structural issues or if your garage requires modifications to accommodate the new door. Weather conditions can also impact installation time, especially for outdoor work during rain or extreme temperatures.
Do You Need to Pull a Permit to Replace a Garage Door?
Most municipalities require permits for garage door replacements, though specific requirements vary by location. We recommend checking with your local building department before starting any garage door project. Permits typically guarantee the installation meets safety codes and structural requirements. In many areas, you’ll need a permit if you’re changing the size of the door opening, modifying the framing, or installing new electrical components. Some jurisdictions may also require permits for replacing tracks, springs, or operating systems. The permit process usually involves submitting an application, paying a fee, and scheduling inspections. Working with a professional garage door company can simplify this process, as we’re familiar with local requirements and can often handle permit applications on your behalf. We’ll guarantee your installation complies with all building codes and safety standards.
Do I Need an Insulated Garage Door in Florida?
While insulated garage doors aren’t strictly necessary in Florida’s climate, they offer several valuable benefits that make them worth considering. They help keep your garage cooler during hot summer months, which is especially important if you use this space as a workshop or have temperature-sensitive items stored there. An insulated door also helps reduce energy costs if you have an air-conditioned garage or attached living space.
We find that insulated doors provide better soundproofing, which is beneficial if your garage faces a busy street or you’re concerned about noise. They’re also typically more durable than non-insulated options, as the insulation adds structural stability to the door panels. In Florida’s humid climate, this extra durability can help prevent warping and extend your door’s lifespan.
Does Home Insurance Cover Garage Doors?
Homeowners insurance typically covers garage door damage caused by specific perils listed in your policy, such as fire, vandalism, severe weather, or fallen trees. However, your policy won’t cover damage resulting from lack of maintenance, normal wear and tear, or mechanical failure. If you need to file a claim for garage door damage, we recommend documenting everything with photos and contacting your insurance provider immediately. Keep in mind that you’ll need to pay your deductible before coverage kicks in. It’s also important to review your policy details, as coverage limits and exclusions can vary considerably between providers. For preventive protection, we suggest regular maintenance and considering additional coverage options if you live in an area prone to specific risks like hurricanes or tornadoes.
Do I Need a Professional to Install a Garage Door?
Although DIY projects can be tempting, we strongly recommend hiring a professional for garage door installation due to its complexity and safety risks. Garage doors are heavy, contain high-tension springs, and require precise installation to function safely and efficiently. Professional installers have the right tools, expertise, and experience to handle intricate components like torsion springs, cables, and electronic opener systems. They’ll guarantee proper alignment, balance, and safety feature installation while following local building codes. Additionally, most manufacturers’ warranties are only valid when their products are installed by certified professionals. You’ll also avoid potential injuries from mishandling heavy doors or incorrectly installing spring mechanisms. A professional installation typically includes testing, adjustments, and guidance on maintenance, giving you peace of mind and reliable operation for years to come.
What Determines the Price of a Garage Door Installation?
When considering professional garage door installation services, several key factors influence the final cost. The size and material of the door make up a significant portion of the price, with custom dimensions and premium materials costing more. We also factor in the door’s design, insulation rating, and any additional features like windows or decorative hardware. Labor costs vary based on your location, installation complexity, and whether old door removal is needed. If you’re upgrading your opener system or adding smart technology features, these components will affect the total price. The type of track system, springs, and hardware required for your specific installation also impact the cost. Additionally, some homes may need structural modifications or electrical work to accommodate the new door system.
