Cutler Bay mixes 1970s and 80s homes near the old town centre with much newer construction in the southern developments, so two very different doors come up on the same street: tired originals and doors under fifteen years old.
Being close to Biscayne Bay and the mangroves, the salt exposure is real: hinges, roller stems and sensor terminals are the parts we replace most often here.
Storm exposure is the other factor. Openings in this part of the county are in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and an older non-rated door is the weak point in an otherwise protected house.
