Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Coral Gables was planned in the 1920s as a Mediterranean city, and it still reviews what your front door looks like. We save the original wood doors and hardware first, rebuild frames, and install impact-rated doors the Board of Architects will approve.

Age, termites and storms. The 1920s core of the city has original wood doors, iron hardware and frames that have stood in Miami humidity for a century, and drywood termites infest door frames and sills in homes like these. Summer downpours get under sliders without a sill pan. And every exterior door is a hurricane opening in the high-velocity hurricane zone.
In Coral Gables the original door is usually worth saving, and saving it skips the Board of Architects. A rehang, a rebuilt frame and restored hardware fix most of them. When a new door is the better buy, we tell you on the call and install one the city will approve.
Not for a repair: a rehang, new hardware or weatherstrip are minor repairs. A new exterior door in Coral Gables is a permitted job with an approved, impact-tested door, and the Board of Architects reviews changes to the outside of the house. We tell you on the call what applies and who pulls the permit.
Coral Gables has reviewed the look of its buildings since the 1920s. A new front door goes through that review along with the permit, so the right door is one that fits the house and carries a hurricane approval.
Mediterranean homes with original arched wood doors and iron hardware. We rehang and plane them, rebuild frames termites got into and restore the hardware.
Smaller older homes with wood doors and frames. We rebuild sills and jamb feet, rehang the doors and seal them against the rain.
Large homes with walls of impact sliders and French doors to the water. We replace rollers and hardware with stainless, realign heavy doors and reseal them.
Say what the door does, or text a picture, and a written price comes back on that call. Scheduling waits until you have said yes to it.
Shims, hinges, strikes, weatherstrip and jamb stock ride along, with the common locksets, so an old Gables door can be rehung and its frame rebuilt the first time we come.
We measure first, so the door you buy fits the opening in size and swing and carries the approval the city wants. The frame is repaired before the new door goes on it.
The old door, the trim and the dust leave with us. Your one-year workmanship warranty is written down and handed over, for the repair and for the install.
Minor repairs need no permit. A replacement exterior door here is a permitted job with a Miami-Dade or Florida product approval, and Coral Gables adds its own step: the Board of Architects reviews changes to the outside of a house, a new front door included. The $7,500 HB 803 exemption does not reach structural work like an exterior door.
In the high-velocity hurricane zone, a replacement exterior door needs a permit and a product with a Florida or Miami-Dade approval that passed the impact tests for this zone, or a shutter over the opening. A door from a big-box store without the right approval will not pass; we check the approval and the size before you order.
The old core has no associations; the Board of Architects does that work. The gated waterfront enclaves have associations as well. Repairing the original door is the simplest path through both; for a new one we put the style, finish and approval number in writing.

Call 786-527-2055Text a photo or call, and most Coral Gables door repairs are priced before you hang up, then scheduled within days. A rehang, a rebuilt jamb or a lock replacement is usually one visit, since shims, hinges, strikes, weatherstrip and jamb stock come on the truck.
Usually, yes. Original wood doors can be planed, rehung and sealed, their frames rebuilt where termites or rot got in and their iron hardware freed or restored. Saving the original also avoids the review a new front door needs here.
Small jobs are a new strike plate or a rehang. Bigger ones are a frame rebuilt after termites or a new impact door installed through the permit and the Board of Architects. Describe the door or text a photo, and the price is given on the call, in writing, and nothing is booked until you have it.
The city reviews changes to the outside of a house to keep its Mediterranean look. A new front door is one of them. We help you choose a door that fits the house and has the right hurricane approval before you buy it.
We do not sell doors; we install the one you buy. Pick it at a home center or a door shop after we measure, so the size and swing are right and, for an exterior door, the approval is one the city and the hurricane zone accept. Frame fixed, door hung, sealed, trimmed, hardware fitted.
Yes, a prehung unit or a slab from Home Depot or Lowe's goes in the same way. Send a photo of the label or the size and swing, and the install gets its price on the call. For a front door in Coral Gables we also check that the approval will pass the review before you buy.
For a repair, no. For a new exterior door, yes: it needs a permit and an approved, impact-tested door, and the Board of Architects reviews the change. We tell you on the call what applies and who pulls the permit.
