Question 1

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs, 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, and test safety features. If your door is used heavily or is older, you may benefit from twice-yearly inspections. Signs that you need immediate service include unusual noises, slow operation, uneven movement, or visible wear on cables and springs.

Question 2

How long does a typical garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes between 4 to 6 hours to complete. This includes removing your old door (if applicable), installing the new door panels, tracks, springs, and hardware, mounting the opener, and programming remotes and keypads. More complex installations, such as custom doors, oversized openings, or doors requiring structural modifications, may take longer. Our team arrives fully equipped with all necessary tools and materials to complete the job efficiently in a single visit. We'll also take the time to show you how to operate and maintain your new door properly.

Question 3

What should I do if my garage door won't open or close?

Accepted Answer

If your garage door won't open or close, there are several things you can check before calling for service. First, check if the opener is receiving power and the motor unit light works. Verify that the remote batteries are fresh and try using the wall button. Look at the photo-eye sensors at the bottom of the door tracks—they should be aligned and the LED lights should be lit. Check for any obstructions in the door's path. If the door opens manually but not with the opener, the problem is likely with the motor or remote system. However, if you notice broken springs, frayed cables, or the door seems heavy or unbalanced, do not attempt to operate it—call us immediately as these can be dangerous to repair without proper training and tools.
