Preparing Your Garage for Hurricane Season

The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June through November, with August through October being the peak season for activity. Hurricanes are responsible for a substantial amount of property damage and loss. The United States government estimates the total cost of weather-related property damage in the U.S. since 1980 is around 1.75 trillion dollars, with Florida accounting for more than half of the country’s annual hurricane spending. Coastal Florida is not the only risk area — the impacts of a hurricane stretch across every part of the state, including inland. With the looming threat of property damage on every Florida homeowner’s mind, is the garage safe […]

    The absolute best. They came out on a Saturday and were able to fix my garage door in less time than it took for me to... tell my neighbor what was wrong with it when she saw them working on it. Fixed the problem, programmed a new remote, and fixed the outside keypad all for less than the other companies wanted just to show up to and give an estimate. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They are reliable, more than fair priced, and warranty their work for a year. 100000% would refer them to all of my clients, neighbors, and friends. Thank you to Julio and Eric!!read more

    My garage door spring snapped this morning and I called the Doorman and spoke with Jim the owner who was very nice and... able to send someone out within 30 minutes of me calling. Eric came out gave me a quick estimate, had what he needed on the truck and had my springs replaced and door back up and running within about 30 minutes. He also made a few minor tweaks to my door to ensure it’s running great. Amazing company with fair and honest pricing. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. Thanks Eric!read more

    I did my homework and found The Doorman to replace my old garage door with a hurricane proof new one. They promptly... replied to my emails and explained the details, which were many, and came out for an estimate which was reasonable as compared to other bigger vendors. Jim and Keith did not try to oversell me and helped me choose the best door in my budget. They custom built my door to specs and took care of all the permits which was great. Keep in mind it did take a few weeks to make the door, so order in enough time for delivery you want. Best part was Cory who installed my new door very professionally and very friendly too and did an amazing job! I was not very excited about buying this; however, now I am very pleased and love how quiet and smooth it runs and also looks clean. Worth every penny and will call them if service is needed as they were very prompt and courteous. Happy customer!read more
