How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally inspected and serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps identify potential problems early, extends the life of your door, and ensures safe operation. If you use your garage door more frequently than average (more than 4 times daily), consider scheduling service every 6 months.

What brands of garage doors and openers do you work with?

We service and install all major brands including Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and Overhead Door for garage doors. For openers, we work with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, and more. Our technicians are trained and certified to work on virtually any garage door system you might have.

Do you offer emergency garage door repair services?

Yes! We understand that garage door emergencies don't wait for business hours. Our team is available 24/7 for emergency repairs. Whether your door is stuck open leaving your home unsecured, or it's stuck closed trapping your car, we can help. Emergency service rates may apply for after-hours calls.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A typical residential garage door installation takes 3-5 hours, depending on the complexity. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and hardware, setting up the opener, and testing everything for proper operation. We'll provide a more accurate time estimate during your consultation.

Can I install a garage door opener myself?

While some handy homeowners successfully install openers themselves, we recommend professional installation. Improper installation can lead to safety hazards, premature wear, and voided warranties. Our professional installation ensures your opener is properly mounted, balanced, and programmed for safe, reliable operation.

What causes a garage door to make grinding or squeaking noises?

Noisy operation can have several causes: dry or worn rollers needing lubrication or replacement, loose hardware that needs tightening, worn hinges, problems with the opener, or issues with the spring system. If lubrication doesn't solve the problem, it's best to have a professional diagnose the issue to prevent further damage.

How do I know if I need a new garage door or just repairs?

Consider replacement if your door is more than 15-20 years old, has significant structural damage, requires frequent repairs, is poorly insulated, or doesn't match your home's aesthetic. For isolated issues like broken springs, damaged panels, or opener problems, repair is usually the more economical choice. We can assess your door and provide honest recommendations.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), checks, and cash. For larger projects like new door installations, we also offer financing options to help make your investment more affordable. Ask about our current financing promotions when you schedule your consultation.
