Garage Door Installation in Hollywood - Written Price, Installed in One Visit

Trusted Garage Door Installation for Hollywood Homeowners

A new garage door installation in Hollywood typically runs $700-$2,200 depending on door size, material, and the condition of your existing tracks and hardware. Most single-car door installations take 4-6 hours; double doors usually run a full day. Servo Garage Doors Hollywood has installed garage doors across Broward County since 2015, and we quote a flat, written price before any work begins - because Clause 1 of The Haven Standard says that’s how this works.

Call (754) 465-7645

When a Hollywood homeowner calls us about a new door, the first thing we do is schedule a site visit. We measure the opening, check the torsion spring assembly, inspect the tracks and rollers, and photograph everything. Then we hand you a written scope and a written price. No phone estimate with a vague range. No “we’ll see when we get there.” You see the numbers on paper before you approve anything. Call (754) 465-7645 to schedule a free measure and walkthrough - we’ll confirm a window that same day.

What Our Garage Door Installation Service Includes

Every installation we do in Hollywood starts with the same premise: the door is only as good as the hardware carrying it. A new panel on rusted tracks or tired springs will underperform within a year. So our install scope includes a full hardware inspection - springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, and the opener mount - documented with photos before we quote. Here’s what each type of installation involves in Hollywood specifically.

New Door Installation

A new door installation replaces the entire door assembly: panels, tracks, rollers, hinges, springs, and weatherstripping. Hollywood homeowners typically do this when the existing door is rusted through, dented beyond panel repair, or when the cost of accumulating repairs exceeds 50-60% of replacement. At Servo Garage Doors Hollywood, we quote new door installation as one flat number that includes haul-away of the old door, all fasteners, labor, and a written warranty on the installation work. You’ll receive a documented photo record of the old door’s condition before we touch it - that’s Clause 4 of The Haven Standard in practice - and a second photo set when the new door is running.

Single Car Door

Single-car doors in Hollywood, especially in the older neighborhoods around Hollywood Lakes and Emerald Hills, are most commonly 8×7 or 9×7. These openings are usually paired with lighter springs and smaller openers, which makes them faster to install - most single-door jobs finish in a single morning or afternoon visit. What we pay close attention to on these jobs is the header board above the opening. In houses built before 1990, it’s not uncommon to find a soft header that needs reinforcement before the new spring bracket gets mounted. If we find one, we document it and include the reinforcement in your written quote before work starts - not as a surprise line item on the invoice.

Double Car Door

Double-car doors are typically 16×7 or 18×7 and carry substantially more weight. That means the springs, cables, and opener need to be sized precisely to the door - an undersized spring on a 16-foot door will snap within months. Our double-door installations in Hollywood always include a pair of matched torsion springs rated for the exact door weight, new heavy-gauge track, and a careful balance test after installation. If your double door faces the sun for most of the day - common for west-facing garages in Hollywood - we’ll also discuss panel insulation options that keep the garage and the room above it noticeably cooler in August.

Custom Garage Door

Custom garage door work in Hollywood ranges from non-standard sizes to specific architectural match requirements on mid-century modern and Spanish-style homes. If your opening is narrower than 8 feet or wider than 18 feet, you’re outside standard residential sizing, and prefabricated doors won’t fit properly. We’ll measure for a custom-ordered door, specify the exact track radius to match your ceiling height, and document the entire scope in writing. Custom orders typically take 7-14 days from signed quote to installation, depending on the manufacturer’s schedule. We’ll give you a realistic delivery window in writing - never a vague “we’ll call you when it arrives.”

Steel Doors

Steel garage doors are the most common choice for Hollywood homes because they hold up well against humidity and salt air, which are the two main things that destroy garage doors in this climate. The key variable is the steel gauge - 24-gauge is standard, 26-gauge is lighter and dent-prone, and 20-gauge is heavy commercial-grade. We specify the gauge and panel thickness on every written quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for. For homes closer to the Intracoastal, such as in the Lakes area of Hollywood, we strongly recommend a rust-resistant primer on the steel and stainless hardware - and we put that in the quote as a line item rather than treating it as an upsell conversation.

Wood Doors

Wood garage doors are beautiful and demanding. In Hollywood’s humidity, solid wood expands and contracts across seasons, which means the tracks and hinges need adjustment at least twice a year and the door must be sealed properly on all six sides of each panel. We install wood doors with stainless or galvanized hardware only - plain steel fasteners will bleed rust streaks through the wood within two years near the coast. Buyer-beware note: a cheap wood door from a big-box store will warp in Hollywood’s summer humidity. We’ll quote you a properly seasoned, sealed, and spec’d wood door and tell you honestly what the maintenance load looks like before you commit.

Brands We Service for Garage Door Installation

We install and service Clopay doors more than any other brand in Hollywood, and for good reason: their steel door line includes a rugged weather-resistant finish that holds up to salt air without rust spotting. We maintain relationships with multiple Clopay distribution points in South Florida, which means if a specific model is backordered nationally, we can often source it through a secondary channel and keep your timeline intact. For wood doors, we do nearly all of our custom orders through Amarr. Their wooden carriage-house line comes properly sealed and spec’d for humid climates, and we’ve found their panel joint hardware to be less prone to binding than comparable brands.

For homeowners who want a more straightforward mid-range steel door, we frequently install Wayne Dalton models - they’re a solid choice for standard 16×7 openings in communities like Driftwood and Boulevard Heights, where the architecture doesn’t demand a specialty look. We also handle Craftsman doors when they’re already in the home and need to be matched or replaced - most Craftsman garage doors are rebadged versions of major manufacturer designs, and we can identify the underlying model to source the correct replacement panels and hardware. Whether you have one of these brands or something else entirely, we’ll quote the install in writing and document every step.

Before

Signs You Need Garage Door Installation Right Now

• The door no longer sits square in the opening. If you see daylight in one corner and not the other, or the door binds on one track when operating, the frame may have shifted or the door itself has warped. In Hollywood, where aluminum-frame construction is common, settling slab foundations cause exactly this. A door that won’t seat evenly is fighting the tracks every time it cycles - and continued use accelerates wear on every moving part.
• The bottom panel has rust or rot through the metal or wood. Once rust penetrates through the panel, not just on the surface, the panel’s structural integrity is compromised. Hollywood’s proximity to the Atlantic means salt-laden humidity accelerates this process dramatically. If the bottom panel on your door won’t hold its shape, it’s time to price a replacement rather than chase patchwork repairs that buy a year at best.
• The door is dented in a way that interferes with the track path or panel joints. A dent that distorts the panel seam can cause the door to catch mid-travel. If the dent is severe enough that the panel no longer sits flush, the door will bind eventually - and when it binds while on the way down, the opener’s force can bend the track. On impact-rated doors, any significant dent also compromises the wind-load rating, which matters during hurricane season in Broward County.
• The door is more than 18-20 years old and the repair costs are piling up. A garage door in the Florida climate has a realistic service life of 15-25 years, depending on material and exposure. If you’ve replaced springs twice in three years, replaced a panel, and now the rollers are grinding, you’re past the point where component repairs make economic sense. A new door with a matched hardware set is often the cheaper move when you look at the next 36 months honestly.
• You’re planning to sell the home and the garage door is visibly tired. Real estate agents in Hollywood will tell you the garage door is one of the three most photographed features of a listing, along with the front door and the kitchen. A clean, quiet, properly balanced garage door communicates that the home was maintained. Buyers notice a crooked, dented, noisy door, and many home inspectors flag it. It’s one of the least expensive major visual upgrades you can make before a listing photo shoot.

Our Garage Door Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Site visit, measurement, and photo documentation. We come to your home in Hollywood, measure the opening in three places (top, middle, bottom), measure the side room and headroom, check the floor level, and photograph the existing door, tracks, springs, opener, and mounting surfaces. This first visit is free, and after it you’ll receive a written record of what we found. That’s the first piece of documentation in your file.
2. 2
   Written scope and flat price. You get a written scope of work listing exactly what will be installed: door model, size, construction, insulation value, window configuration, hardware finish, spring size, track radius, and any structural reinforcement needed. The price on that document is a flat, written price. It does not change when we start work, and it does not grow once the old door is off and we can “see what we’re really dealing with.” Clause 1 of The Haven Standard is explicit about this, and it’s what every Servo customer reads before signing the work order.
3. 3
   Removal of the old door and installation of the new one. We arrive with the new door, all hardware, and the parts we know we’ll need based on the site visit. The old door comes down carefully - we don’t let springs unwind uncontrolled or drop panels off the back of a truck. New tracks go up first, then the spring assembly, then the panels, rollers, and hinges. The opener gets remounted and tested for force settings. The full install crew is background-checked and uniformed, and the job site gets swept before we pull out.
4. 4
   Balance test, safety check, and opener calibration. Once the door is hung, we balance-test it: disconnect the opener, lift the door manually, and leave it at three heights to verify it holds position. A properly balanced door will sit still at waist height. We then set the opener’s up and down force limits and test the auto-reverse function using a 2×4 block laid flat - this is the standard safety test that keeps children and pets safe in the garage. If the door doesn’t reverse on contact, we adjust until it does.
5. 5
   Documented photo record and final walkthrough. Before we leave, you receive a photo set showing the completed installation: the door from both sides, the spring assembly, the track brackets, the opener mount, and the weatherseal at the floor. We walk you through the door’s operation, explain the annual maintenance points, and give you the written warranty for door and labor. That documentation is yours, and it’s the same record we’d show an insurance adjuster or a future home inspector.
