Garage door repair in Kendall starts at $150 per spring and $275 for a new opener installed, with same-day service from Dadeland west to The Hammocks and a written estimate before work. A large share of Kendall doors went in during the rebuild after Hurricane Andrew in 1993 and 1994, so they are now more than thirty years old and failing together.
Kendall is the big unincorporated suburb of Miami-Dade, and west of the Turnpike it is almost entirely 1970s to 1990s houses with a 16 foot double door: Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, Country Walk, Lakes of the Meadow, The Crossings. Hurricane Andrew crossed this part of the county on 24 August 1992 and took doors off houses by the thousand, with Country Walk among the worst hit anywhere. The doors that replaced them in 1993 and 1994 were built to the tougher South Florida code that followed, and they are now past thirty years, with springs on their third or fourth set and openers from the same era.
East of the Turnpike, toward Dadeland and the older streets north of Kendall Drive, the houses are 1950s to 1970s with narrower single doors and less headroom. HOA rules run through most of the western subdivisions and most of them regulate door style and color, so we check the covenant before quoting a replacement. Every replacement here needs a Miami-Dade NOA and a permit pulled by a licensed contractor, because Kendall is in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and a hurricane-rated door starts at $1,800 installed with the permit in the quote.

Garage door questions in Kendall
My door was installed right after Andrew. Is it still sound?
It was rated to the South Florida code of 1993 or 1994, which was far tougher than what came before but is not the current Florida Building Code, and thirty years of humidity have usually corroded the struts, brackets and springs that carried the rating. We inspect it and tell you plainly whether it is worth a repair or whether a current Miami-Dade NOA door makes more sense. A new rated door may qualify for a credit on your wind mitigation inspection; ask your insurer for the credit schedule.
My HOA has to approve the new door. What do you provide?
The door spec sheet, the color and panel style, and the Miami-Dade NOA number that the architectural review usually asks for. The application itself is yours to submit, and we do not order the door until the association has signed off, so nothing sits in a warehouse waiting on a letter.
Which parts of Kendall do you cover?
All of it: Kendall east of the Turnpike, Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, Country Walk, Kendall West, Three Lakes, Sunset and Lakes of the Meadow, plus Westchester to the north and Pinecrest to the east. Same day in most cases, seven days a week.

Spring replacement starts at $150 per spring, cable repair at $95, opener repair at $95 and opener installation at $275. These are starting prices for a standard single door, and you get a written quote before any work begins.
Are you licensed and insured?
