Quick answer: Most Broward County master-planned and gated communities require Architectural Review Committee (ARC) approval before any new garage door is installed. The ARC controls color, panel style, window inserts, hardware visibility, and sometimes glass. Garage Door Kingdom handles the entire ARC submission — product spec sheets, color samples, Florida Product Approval / Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and contractor license number — on every install. You sign the homeowner cover sheet; we file with your management company and wait for written approval before scheduling work.
Broward HOA Communities — ARC Rules We Already Know
These are the master-planned and gated communities we install in most often. If your community is not listed, ask — we have probably done a job there too, or we can read your guidelines in a single visit.
How We Manage ARC Submissions From Start to Finish
Most homeowners have no interest in becoming an expert on their HOA architectural rules. Good news: you do not have to. Here is how we run the process.
Free On-Site Consultation
We measure the opening, photograph the existing door, and read your HOA architectural guidelines. We bring color and panel sample boards to your driveway.
Product Selection
We narrow the choices to products that satisfy both the HOA aesthetic rules and Florida Building Code 1620.2 HVHZ wind-load requirements.
ARC Submission Package
We prepare the full submission — product spec sheet, color sample, panel image, Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documentation, contractor license CC# 21-GD-22352-X.
Homeowner Signs Cover Sheet
You sign one cover page authorizing us to file on your behalf. We file with your management company and confirm receipt in writing.
ARC Review & Approval
We wait for written ARC approval before scheduling work. Typical turnaround is 7–30 days depending on community. We handle any clarification questions the ARC has.
Broward Permit Pull
Once ARC-approved, we pull the Broward County Building Code Services permit and schedule the install.
Install & Final Inspection
Single-day install. We coordinate with the gatehouse on arrival. Broward County does the final inspection; we close the permit.
Documentation Package
You receive a folder: ARC approval letter, permit number, final inspection record, NOA / Florida Product Approval, manufacturer warranty, paid invoice.
Color Matching for Older HOA Color Palettes
Some Broward HOAs adopted very specific custom colors decades ago and never updated the palette. Wynmoor, Sunrise Lakes, and parts of Inverrary all have color requirements that no current garage door manufacturer offers as a standard factory finish. We solve this two ways:
- 🎨 Factory-finished close match — Wayne Dalton, Clopay, and Amarr each offer 20+ standard exterior colors. We bring sample boards and pick the closest match. Most ARCs accept a close match within a defined tolerance, especially if we can show the manufacturer's color chip alongside the original community spec.
- 🖌️ Professional spray-applied factory-primed door — for exact color matches, we install a primer-grade door and finish it with an automotive-grade spray application color-matched to the community spec. This satisfies even strict ARCs and lasts as long as a factory finish in Broward humidity, provided it is sprayed in a controlled environment and not brush-applied on site.
What we never do: we do not brush-paint a finished factory door on the homeowner's driveway with house paint. It looks fine for six months and then fails — peeling, chipping, UV fade — and most ARCs will issue a violation. If you have been quoted that approach, please get a second opinion.
Reconciling HOA Aesthetics with HVHZ Wind-Load Code
This is the harder problem. Some HOA aesthetic specs (especially older ones) conflict with current Florida Building Code 1620.2 wind-load requirements. The most common case: an HOA wants a glass-heavy full-view aluminum door, but the home's exposure category requires a higher design pressure than typical full-view aluminum can deliver.
