What this means where you live

Cutler Bay has only existed as a town since 9 November 2005, and the median home here was built in 1984 — so the paper trail for your garage opening is split in two places: anything permitted before the town was created sits in Miami-Dade County's files, and anything since is at the town's own Building Division. Knowing which side of 2005 you are looking on is the difference between a same-week answer and a fortnight of being sent back and forth.

Two archives, one opening

When a replacement needs to know what came before — because a previous permit was never closed, because sections were changed without one, or because an insurer wants the history — the request has to go to whichever authority held the file at the time. The county keeps the records for the years when this was unincorporated ground, and the town keeps everything from its own creation onward. Neither will have the other's, and neither will tell you that in advance; you simply get nothing back and lose a week finding out why.

For work going forward, the answer is simpler and it is entirely local: the permit is filed with the town, reviewed by the town and inspected by the town, under the license of the contractor who installs. We handle that end of it. What we ask from an owner is the year the house was built and, if there has been previous work on the door, roughly when — those two dates tell us which archive to write to, and often whether writing is necessary at all.

An old block and a new one, little in between

The housing here comes in two distinct groups. About one home in six dates from the nineteen-fifties, and a quarter went up in the two-thousands, with comparatively thin decades between them. Those two groups need different work. The fifties stock gives narrow openings in solid masonry, frequently with a garage that has been enclosed at some point, and its problems are at the fixings. The two-thousands stock gives wide openings built to receive a rated assembly, and its problems are wear in the moving parts after twenty years of daily use.

The practical consequence is that a quote for one tells you nothing about the other, even three streets apart, and that the cheapest job in the town and one of the more involved ones can be the same nominal task. We would rather establish which group a house belongs to on the phone than discover it in the driveway.

Get your door looked at

Repair usually makes sense when…

  • The door is under ten to twelve years old.
  • The damage is limited to one part.
  • The sections and the frame are still sound.
  • You want the cheapest fix that actually holds.

Replacement is worth pricing when…

  • The door is fifteen years old or more.
  • Something fails every few months.
  • There is rust through a section, or storm damage.
  • You want insulation, or an approval you can show.

Garage door questions from Cutler Bay homeowners

Do I file a Cutler Bay garage door permit with the town or with the county?

Any work done now is filed with the town, because Cutler Bay has its own building official and its own counter.

  • The county is not involved in a plain replacement
  • It returns when the question is historical
  • Or when something unrelated needs county review
An old permit on my Cutler Bay house was never closed. Is that my problem?

An open permit becomes yours when you sell, refinance or apply for something new on the same property, because it shows up in all three.

  • The first step is finding which authority holds it
  • Before 2005 the request goes to the county
  • After that, to the town's building division
My Cutler Bay garage was enclosed without a permit. Can the door still be worked on?

We can maintain or repair the door as it stands, and we will tell you honestly what we can see.

  • We will not file in a way that surprises you
  • An inspector cannot un-see a conversion
  • That decision is yours, made deliberately
Is a twenty-year-old garage door worth repairing?

A door from the two-thousands was built to receive proper anchorage and its panels are generally sound, so repair is frequently the right call.

  • What has worn out is the hardware that moves
  • Springs, rollers, bearings and the opener
  • A fraction of a new assembly, and years bought
