“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 Plantation
Housing from the 1980s, neighborhoods with their own associations, and a permit process that runs through an online portal.
Most homes predate Florida’s 2002 code In the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey, the median Plantation home dates from 1984, 86% of the city’s roughly 40,000 homes were built before 2000, and 40% before 1980. The statewide Florida Building Code only took effect in 2002, so the original doors on those homes were built to earlier, local rules.
Source45% are single-family houses Plantation is nearly half houses: 45% of its homes are single-family in the same survey, and the rest is mostly townhomes, condominiums and apartments. Jacaranda, Lauderdale West, Plantation Isles and Plantation Acres are among the house neighborhoods.
SourceA city permit is not HOA approval Plantation’s permit requirements say that since May 8, 2023 an HOA, COA or POA approval is not a condition of getting a building permit, and that a city permit does not mean the association approved the work. Owners and contractors must meet any recorded covenants.
SourcePermits come from Building Safety, online A garage door replacement in Plantation is permitted by the City’s Department of Building Safety. Since November 2022 new applications have been accepted in digital format only, through the Accela Citizen Access portal and its Digital Plan Room, and only contractors and other authorized accounts registered with the city can submit them.

Plantation is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Plantation is inland, but the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers all of Broward County, not only the beach cities. A replacement garage door here needs an approval for that zone.
- All of Broward County is in the HVHZ, inland cities like Plantation includedSource
- TAS 201 is the impact test behind HVHZ door approvals; it names garage doors as covered products and uses a 9 lb. 2x4 large missileSource
- Wind mitigation form OIR-B1-1802 includes garage doors when it scores the weakest form of opening protection on the houseSource

“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!!!”

Plantation garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Plantation?
Yes. The City of Plantation’s Department of Building Safety issues the permit. New applications go in digitally through its Accela Citizen Access portal, and the contractor normally submits them.
Does a new garage door in Plantation have to be hurricane rated?
Yes, even though Plantation is inland. The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers all of Broward County, so the new door must carry an HVHZ approval, large-missile impact test included.
Does my HOA have to approve a new garage door in Plantation?
The city says an HOA, COA or POA approval is not a condition of getting a building permit, and that the permit does not mean the association approved the work. Check your recorded covenants on style and color before you order.
