PERMIT INFORMATION: Permit Information DO I REALLY NEED A PERMIT TO REPLACE MY DOOR? Yes! It is required by the State of Florida that all garage doors must have been tested to stand up to hurricane force winds, that a permit be pulled in order to install a garage door, and that a final inspection be performed by a local building official. The amount of windload varies by location within the state. WHAT IS THE WIND DEGREE FOR ALACHUA COUNTY? All doors installed within Alachua County must be able to withstand at least 110 M.P.H. IS THIS A GUARANTEE THAT MY DOOR WILL NOT FAIL IN A HURRICANE? If winds rise above 110 m.p.h. there is no guarantee that the door will withstand the additional force. ONCE MY DOOR IS INSTALLED, AND I RECEIVE MY PERMIT WHAT'S NEXT? At this point, a final inspection by a city or county codes official is needed. You should call our office and schedule the appointment through us. Ask for our permit coordinator. DOES THAT MEAN THE INSPECTION WILL BE DONE BY YOUR COMPANY? No. It is required that we schedule the inspection because we pulled the permit. However, there will not be an employee of Lester's Garage Doors inspecting your door. An official from the city or county will be scheduled to come to your home and inspect our work on a day of your choosing. CAN I REQUEST A SPECIFIC APPOINTMENT TIME? No. Neither the city or county will schedule a specific time. You will need to choose a day that you can be home all day. CAN'T I LEAVE MY DOOR MANUAL / OPEN AND THE INSPECTOR JUST COME BY? No. The inspector will not come onto your property if no one is home. The inspection would not be completed and would have to be rescheduled.
