Garage doors in Sarasota
After Hurricane Milton’s October 9, 2024 landfall in the Sarasota area, garage doors were among the large openings that failed or needed replacement on older 1950s–1970s houses.
Even in a quiet year, salt air and a long cooling season wear springs and openers. Permits go through the city Building & Permitting office.
