Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions homeowners ask us:

How long does a garage door installation take?

A typical garage door installation takes 3-4 hours for a standard residential door. This includes removing the old door, installing the new one, setting up the opener, and testing all safety features. Complex installations with custom doors may take longer.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your garage door. Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, inspecting cables and rollers, and testing safety sensors.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Common signs include: the door feels heavier than usual, it doesn't open smoothly, you hear loud squeaking or grinding noises, the door opens unevenly, or you can see visible gaps in torsion springs. Never attempt to replace springs yourself—this is a dangerous task that requires professional expertise.
