Do you pull permits for hollow metal door installation?

Yes. When a frame replacement or new opening requires a permit, we handle the permit and inspection under our licenses (Broward CC# 15-CRP-18214X, Palm Beach # U-22653).

Can a rusted metal door be repaired instead of replaced?

Often the frame can be repaired and the door re-hung with new hinges and hardware. If the door bottom has rusted through, replacing the door slab is usually more cost-effective. We'll tell you which on the estimate.

What we do

Hollow metal doors take a beating in South Florida: salt air and rain rust the bottoms, delivery carts bend the skins, and failed hinges leave doors sagging until they stop latching. We repair what can be repaired and replace what can't — the door, the frame, or both.

We supply and install 20, 18, 16 and 14 gauge doors in cold-rolled and galvanized steel, including flush doors, vision-glass and narrow-lite doors, louvered doors for mechanical rooms, and double doors. When a new opening or frame replacement needs a building permit, we pull it under our Broward and Palm Beach licenses and schedule the inspection.
