“I can't say enough good things about Eric’s United Garage Door Service! Our garage door spring broke unexpectedly, and when I called on a Saturday, Eric personally answered the phone. He came out on Sunday to assess the problem and was able to replace the spring the very same day. Eric was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and great to work with. It's rare these days to find someone who provides this level of customer service, especially over a weekend. He explained everything clearly, completed the repair quickly, and had our garage door working perfectly again. If you're looking for honest, reliable, and prompt garage door service, I highly recommend Eric’s United Garage Door Service. Thank you for the outstanding service!”

What garage doors face in Lauderdale Lakes
A compact, mostly older city with a few large house subdivisions, many condominiums, and an online permit portal.
93% of homes predate 2000 The Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey counts roughly 15,000 homes in Lauderdale Lakes: 93% were built before 2000, 71% before 1980, and the median dates from 1976. The first statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002 and replaced local codes, so most original garage doors here were built to the older local rules.
SourceOne home in four is a house One home in four, 25%, is a single-family house in the same survey, and most of the rest is condominiums, townhomes and apartments. The city’s garbage and bulk-pickup pages split it into Eastgate/Northgate, Oriole Estates, Oakland Estates/Westgate and Condominiums.
SourceNeighborhoods surrounded by lakes The city’s own history describes neighborhoods surrounded by lakes, in a compact city of about four square miles centered on State Road 7 and Oakland Park Boulevard. The door manufacturers’ association advises keeping doors closed where possible in wet climates, and lubricating springs as the maker directs.
SourcePermits go through a self-service portal A garage door replacement in Lauderdale Lakes is permitted by the Building Division of the City’s Development Services Department. Applications go through its Citizen Self-Service Portal, the required documents include the Broward County uniform permit application and product approvals for doors, and contractors must register with the city.

“Outstanding service and experience! Eric was very friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. He texted prior to arrival and replaced my garage door spring in only a few minutes. Initially, we thought the cables would also need to be replaced. Upon inspection he said they were fine. This saved me from paying additional. Finding a dependable, honest professional is priceless! Highly recommend!”
“Eric was awesome! Quickly diagnosed and repaired two broken garage door openers. Highly recommended!!!”

Lauderdale Lakes garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Lauderdale Lakes?
Yes. The City of Lauderdale Lakes Building Division, in the Development Services Department, issues the permit. Applications go through the city’s Citizen Self-Service Portal, and the contractor doing the work must be registered with the city.
Does a new garage door in Lauderdale Lakes have to be hurricane rated?
Yes. In Broward County the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules apply in every city, Lauderdale Lakes included, so the new door needs an HVHZ approval, whether or not the old one was ever rated.
My house was built in the 1970s. Is the original garage door a problem?
It may be. With a median build year of 1976, an original door in Lauderdale Lakes is about 50 years old and predates the 2002 code. We can service one that still runs well, but a replacement has to meet today’s HVHZ rules.
Do you work in Oriole Estates, Oakland Estates and Eastgate?
Yes. We cover the whole city, from Oriole Estates and Oakland Estates to Eastgate, Northgate, Westgate and Bella Vista.
