Question 1

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. During this maintenance visit, our technicians will inspect all components including springs, cables, rollers, and the opener. They'll lubricate moving parts, check safety features, and make any necessary adjustments. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your garage door by several years. If your door is used more frequently than average (more than 4 cycles per day), you may benefit from bi-annual service visits.

Question 2

What are the signs that my garage door needs repair?

Accepted Answer

There are several warning signs that indicate your garage door needs professional attention. These include: unusual grinding, squeaking, or scraping noises during operation; the door moving unevenly or jerking; slow response when using the opener; the door not closing or opening completely; visible damage to panels, springs, or cables; and the door feeling heavier than usual when operating manually. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to call a professional immediately, as continuing to use a malfunctioning garage door can cause further damage or pose safety risks.

Question 3

How long does a garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard garage door installation typically takes between 3-5 hours, depending on several factors. These include whether we're replacing an existing door or installing on a new construction, the complexity of the door style you've chosen, whether a new opener is being installed, and any modifications needed to the existing frame or tracks. Our technicians will provide a more accurate time estimate during your free consultation. We strive to complete all installations in a single visit and will thoroughly test all components before leaving to ensure everything works perfectly.
