Who is responsible for the entry?

Usually the association rather than any one resident, which changes who we talk to and who signs the work off.

What does the county require?

Broward sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so wind rating is set by code. The permit itself is local, and an HOA architectural review often runs alongside it.

Is Broward the same as Miami-Dade?

For wind load, yes — both counties are inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. For permitting, no: that is administered locally and it is not identical from city to city.

I have a sketch, not a drawing.

A sketch is enough to start. We draw it properly and show you the gate on your entrance.

Miramar · Broward County

Not everything needs to become a new gate. A cracked hinge boss, a post that has moved, a rail that has torn away from its stile — those are structural repairs, and they happen on site with the gate still hanging.

Matching something that already exists is most of the work — an existing panel, a neighbouring run, or a detail lifted off the house itself.

Where an association governs the street, its architectural review usually runs in parallel with the municipal permit rather than after it.

Ask before the steel is ordered

Broward is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating is settled by code rather than by preference. What is not settled by code is the local review — Miramar handles that itself, and starting it early is the cheapest decision on the whole project.
