Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions homeowners ask us:
How often should I have my garage door serviced?
We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your door and opener, and ensures all safety features are working properly. If you use your garage door frequently (more than 4 times daily), consider bi-annual maintenance checks.
How long does a garage door installation take?
A standard garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door, setting up the opener, and testing all safety features. Custom doors or special configurations may require additional time. We always aim to complete installations in a single visit.
What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?
Common signs include: the door feels unusually heavy when lifting manually, the door doesn't stay open or closes too quickly, you hear loud banging or squeaking noises, visible gaps in the spring coils, or the door opens unevenly. If you notice any of these signs, stop using the door and call us immediately—broken springs can be dangerous.
