Most homes predate Florida’s 2002 code
Wilton Manors has roughly 7,400 homes, and the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey puts the median at 1971, with 85% built before 2000 and 74% before 1980. Homes of that age were built long before the 2002 statewide Florida Building Code, so their original garage doors were built to older local rules.

46% are single-family houses
Houses make up 46% of Wilton Manors homes in the same survey, with townhomes, condominiums and apartments filling out the rest. Coral Estates, Middle River Manor, Highland Estates and Tropical Manors are among the neighborhoods of single-family homes.

The Wilton Manors Historical Society counts 243 waterfront homes in the Jenada subdivisions alone. The door manufacturers’ association advises keeping doors closed where possible in wet climates, and lubricating springs as the maker directs.

Wilton Manors garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Wilton Manors?
Yes. The City of Wilton Manors Community Development Services Department, through its Construction Services Division, issues the permit. Permits are submitted and tracked online through the city’s Citizenserve portal, and the contractor usually applies.
Does a new garage door in Wilton Manors have to be hurricane rated?
Yes. Wilton Manors is no exception to Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone: the new door needs an HVHZ approval, and the large-missile impact test is part of it.
My house was built around 1970. Is the original garage door a problem?
It may be. Around 1970 is typical here: the median Wilton Manors home dates from 1971, three decades before the 2002 code. We can service a door that still works; a replacement has to be HVHZ-approved.
Do you work in Coral Estates, Tropical Manors and Highland Estates?
Yes. We cover the whole city, from Coral Estates and Coral Point to Highland Estates, Tropical Manors and the Middle River neighborhoods.
