Check the location that the opener will serve
For an opener in a separate garage, identify available power and how people enter that building when the overhead door is closed. The radio remote, wall control and any connected features have different requirements. Do not promise remote internet access before checking the chosen product and connection at that garage.
Keep separate work responsibilities visible
Jupiter Farms building applications are a County matter for an unincorporated parcel. If the proposed installation includes new electrical work, have its requirements and responsibility clarified. A water-control district service boundary does not authorize door or electrical work.
Your questions
Will one remote operate the house and detached garage?
Only if the receiver systems and remote are compatible. Provide both opener models so a suitable arrangement can be checked.
Should a stronger opener be used for a heavy-feeling door?
A difficult or unbalanced door needs assessment first. Additional motor capacity is not a repair for a faulty counterbalance.
