Do I need a permit for this?

Often, and Miami-Dade is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating matters too. Permits are issued locally, so we confirm what your authority wants before we start.

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the Florida Building Code's strictest wind-load region. It covers all of Miami-Dade, which is why the hardware spec here is not the spec further north.

You didn't install it — will you still touch it?

Yes. We service every major operator brand, whoever put it in.

We diagnose first and tell you which is worth doing. Sometimes it is one part.

Coral Gables · Miami-Dade County

A gate stuck shut with a car behind it is an access problem before it is a repair problem. The first job is getting the entrance usable and secure; the lasting fix follows once the part it needs is actually on the truck.

Two heavy ornamental leaves put the whole load on the hinges and the posts. When one of those starts to go the gate stops closing square long before it stops moving.

Where the house sits well back, the gate is the only part of the property most people ever see close up.

Inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone

Miami-Dade sits inside the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load regime in the state, so the rating on posts, panels and hardware is not a nice-to-have here. Permits on top of that are issued locally — by the municipality or by the county — so what Coral Gables wants to see on paper is worth confirming before anything is cut.
