Who licenses the work

Florida offers a statewide garage door installation specialty license. The state describes it as voluntary: a statewide license a contractor "may obtain instead of acquiring a local specialty license." Where a contractor holds no state license, the county or city decides what local license is needed, so check both the state registry and the local one. Under the state rule, such a contractor may run the low-voltage wiring for door sensors; other electrical work goes to a licensed electrician.

Look up a license with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR)

What you will be asked

  • What stopped working, in one sentence: a bang and then the door would not lift, a crooked door, a door that goes back up.
  • The door: sectional panels or one solid piece, one car wide or two, and roughly how old.
  • The springs: a coil on a bar above the door, or springs along the tracks, and whether one shows a gap.
  • The name on the opener’s motor housing, and roughly how old it is.
  • Whether the door is open or closed right now, and whether a car is inside.

The line takes: repair, replacement and installation of garage doors and openers, for owners and renters, at homes and at commercial buildings. It is not for: buying parts, doors on box trucks and trailers, or a price quoted over the phone without a visit. The price is named after someone has seen the door.
