“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 North Miami homes ask of a garage door
An older housing stock, gated communities, a Biscayne Bay shoreline, and permits filed through an online portal.
Four in five homes predate 1980 About 89% of North Miami’s roughly 22,000 homes were built before 2000, and about 79% before 1980, with a median year of 1967, according to the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey. Florida’s statewide code took effect in 2002, so most original garage doors here were built to earlier rules.
SourceAbout a third are houses Single-family houses are 37% of North Miami homes in the same survey, and attached townhomes 4%; apartments, condominiums and other multi-unit buildings make up most of the rest. The garage doors are in the house neighborhoods, such as Keystone Point, Sans Souci and Sunkist Grove.
SourceGated communities and the bay North Miami lies on Biscayne Bay. Keystone Point’s homeowners association describes it as a gated community of 880 single-family homes on the water, and the city’s association directory lists the Sans Souci Gated Voluntary Homeowners Organization. Ask your association about door style and color before you order.

“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 Miami garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in North Miami?
Yes. The City of North Miami’s Building Department issues the permit, and applications are filed through its E-Services online portal. The installer normally files it.
Does a new garage door in North Miami have to be hurricane rated?
Yes. Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone applies in North Miami, so a replacement door needs a current product approval, such as a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, whatever the old door was rated for.
My house was built in the 1960s. Is the original garage door a problem?
It can be. The median North Miami home dates from 1967, and doors from that era predate Florida’s 2002 building code by decades. We can service one that still works; a replacement has to meet today’s HVHZ rules.
Do you work in Keystone Point, Sans Souci and Sunkist Grove?
Yes. We cover the whole city, including the gated communities of Keystone Point and Sans Souci; tell us about the gate when you call. We also work in Sunkist Grove and around Arch Creek.
