“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!”

North Lauderdale homes and their garage doors
Housing from the city’s early decades, an association letter in the paperwork, and permits filed online.
The median home was built in 1978 About 89% of North Lauderdale’s roughly 16,000 homes were built before 2000, and 57% before 1980, with a median build year of 1978, according to the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey. The statewide Florida Building Code only took effect in 2002, so the garage doors that came with most of these homes were never built to it.
SourceHouses are 36% of the housing In the same survey, 36% of North Lauderdale’s homes are single-family detached houses, and most of the remainder are condominiums, townhomes and apartments. Garage doors here cluster in the single-family neighborhoods and the townhome rows.
SourceProduct approvals and an HOA letter The City’s permit application checklist asks for one set of product approvals, the approval documents for the door itself, and a sealed or notarized homeowners’ association letter if one applies. Have both ready before the application goes in online.
SourceCommunity Development issues permits A garage door replacement in North Lauderdale is permitted through the City’s Community Development Department, which lists building permits among its divisions.

North Lauderdale is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Every part of North Lauderdale is inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. Whatever the old garage door was rated for, its replacement needs an approval for the HVHZ.
- North Lauderdale falls under the HVHZ because all of Broward County doesSource
- A garage door for the HVHZ has to survive the large-missile test in Florida’s TAS 201 standard, glazed or solid: a 9 pound 2x4 from an air cannon, then pressure cyclingSource
- Form OIR-B1-1802, the wind mitigation inspection form, scores opening protection, and an unrated garage door can lower that result for insurers’ wind creditsSource

“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!!!”

North Lauderdale garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in North Lauderdale?
Yes. The City’s Community Development Department handles building permits, and applications are submitted online through the Citizen Self Service portal. Your contractor normally files the application.
Does a new garage door in North Lauderdale have to be hurricane rated?
Yes. A replacement in North Lauderdale has to meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, so the door needs an HVHZ approval, large-missile impact test included, even if the old door was never rated.
Does my HOA need to sign off before the city permits a new door?
It can. The City’s permit checklist asks for a sealed or notarized homeowners’ association letter if one applies, so get your association’s approval on the door’s style and color before the permit is filed.
