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 safe operation. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will inspect all components, lubricate moving parts, adjust spring tension, tighten hardware, and test safety features. If you use your garage door more frequently than average (more than 4-5 times per day), consider scheduling maintenance every 6 months. Signs that you need immediate service include unusual noises, slow operation, door not closing completely, or visible damage to any components. Preventive maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs, and it gives you peace of mind knowing your garage door is operating safely and efficiently.

What are the signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Garage door springs are under tremendous tension and are one of the most critical components of your door system. Warning signs that your springs may need replacement include: the door feels unusually heavy when lifting manually, the door opens only partially then stops, you notice gaps in the torsion spring coils, the door closes too quickly or makes loud banging sounds, you hear a loud snapping noise from the garage (this indicates a spring has already broken), or the door appears crooked or uneven when opening. Garage door springs typically last 7-12 years or about 10,000 cycles, depending on usage and quality. IMPORTANT: Never attempt to replace garage door springs yourself – they're under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. Our trained technicians have the proper tools and expertise to safely replace your springs, and we use high-quality springs that often last longer than factory originals.

How long does it take to install a new garage door?

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours, though this can vary based on several factors. For a straightforward replacement where the opening size remains the same and no structural modifications are needed, installation is usually completed in about half a day. However, if we need to modify the opening, install new tracks, replace the opener, or address any structural issues, the job may take a full day. Custom doors, insulated doors, or doors with windows may also require additional time. Here's what to expect during installation: removal and disposal of your old door (if applicable), installation of new tracks and hardware, mounting of the door panels, installation of springs and cables, opener installation or reconnection, programming of remotes and keypads, safety testing and adjustments, and a thorough walkthrough of operation and maintenance. We always provide a time estimate before beginning work, and our goal is to minimize disruption to your day while ensuring a perfect installation.
