“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 Wellington homes ask of a garage door
Homes from the mid-1990s, an inland village that still takes wind, and permits handled electronically.
The median home is over 30 years old About 62% of Wellington’s roughly 24,500 homes were built before 2000, and the median one dates from 1995, according to the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey. A door from 1995 is over 30 years old, and Florida’s statewide building code, which first applied in 2002, came after it.
SourceSeven in ten homes are houses Single-family houses are 71% of Wellington homes in the same survey, so most of the village is houses with their own garage doors, from Palm Beach Polo, the Aero Club and Binks Forest to the equestrian properties in the west.
SourceInland, but not out of the wind An EF3 tornado spawned by Hurricane Milton struck Wellington on October 9, 2024, then tracked north into western Palm Beach Gardens, with peak winds of 140 mph along its path. Wind reaches this far inland, so the rating on a replacement door is not a formality here.
SourcePermits are handled electronically The Village of Wellington’s Building Department issues garage door permits and processes them electronically. Applications are emailed to the Village, and plans are reviewed online through ProjectDox, with a login sent to the applicant by email.

Wellington is in the Wind-Borne Debris Region
Wellington is inland, but it is still in Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, not the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Whatever door goes in has to carry a rating that fits the address.
- Wellington, like the rest of Palm Beach County, is in the Wind-Borne Debris Region and not the HVHZSource
- A solid garage door needs a design-pressure rating for the wind load at the address; a door with glass also has to meet the impact standardSource
- The insurer’s wind mitigation form (OIR-B1-1802) lists garage doors as their own opening type and scores the home by its weakest protectionSource

“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!!!”
Wellington garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Wellington?
Yes. The Village of Wellington’s Building Department issues the permit and processes permits electronically, with plans reviewed in ProjectDox. Your contractor normally handles the application.
Does a garage door in Wellington need a wind rating this far inland?
Yes, even inland. Wellington is in Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, so the door must carry a pressure rating for the address, and glass panels bring the impact standard.
Our Wellington home is from the 1990s. Should the original garage door be replaced?
Not automatically. The median Wellington home dates from 1995, so many original doors are past 30 years old and predate Florida’s 2002 building code. We can service one that still works; a replacement has to meet today’s wind code.
Do you work in Palm Beach Polo, Binks Forest and the equestrian areas?
Yes. We cover the whole village, from Palm Beach Polo, the Aero Club, Binks Forest and Saddle Trail to Olympia, Buena Vida, Villagewalk and the Equestrian Preserve.
How far is Wellington from your Fort Lauderdale base?
About 36 miles north, as the crow flies. We are open 24 hours, so calling on a Sunday morning is fine.
Garage door trouble in Wellington?
A door that will not lift, a track that bent or an opener that runs without moving the door: call and tell us which. We will say what it likely needs.
