How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular servicing includes lubrication, spring tension adjustment, safety sensor testing, and hardware inspection. This preventive care can extend your door's lifespan by several years and help avoid costly emergency repairs.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Common signs include the door feeling heavier than usual, visible gaps in the spring coils, the door not opening evenly on both sides, loud banging noises when operating, or the door falling quickly when closing. If you notice any of these signs, call us immediately as broken springs can be dangerous.

Do you offer same-day service?

Yes! We understand that garage door problems can be urgent, especially when they affect your home's security. We offer same-day service for most repairs in our service area. For emergencies, our 24/7 team can typically arrive within 1-2 hours of your call.

How much does garage door repair cost?

Repair costs vary depending on the issue. Simple repairs like sensor adjustments might cost $75-150, while spring replacements typically range from $150-350. Major repairs or panel replacements can cost $200-600. We always provide free estimates before starting any work, so you'll know the cost upfront.

Can I repair my garage door myself?

While some minor maintenance like lubrication can be done safely by homeowners, we strongly advise against DIY repairs for springs, cables, or opener systems. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if mishandled. Professional repair ensures safety and warranty protection.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the complexity and whether we're replacing an existing door or installing a new one. This includes removing the old door (if applicable), installing the new door, setting up the opener, and testing all safety features.

What brands of garage doors do you install?

We install and service all major garage door brands including Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and more. We can also repair most older doors regardless of brand. Our team will help you choose the best option for your home and budget.

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Yes! We offer a lifetime warranty on all our labor and workmanship. Additionally, most parts and new doors come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 1-25 years depending on the product. We'll explain all warranty coverage before starting any work.

Why won't my garage door open?

There are several potential causes: dead remote batteries, misaligned safety sensors, broken springs, power outage, or opener motor issues. Start by checking batteries and ensuring nothing is blocking the sensors. If these aren't the issue, it's best to call a professional for diagnosis.
