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 all safety features are working properly. If your door gets heavy use or you notice any unusual sounds or movements, more frequent inspections may be beneficial. Our maintenance service includes lubrication, balance testing, safety checks, and hardware inspection.

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

There are several warning signs that indicate your garage door springs may need replacement. Look for visible gaps in the spring coils, difficulty opening the door (it feels heavier than usual), the door opens unevenly or crooked, loud banging or popping noises when operating, or the door won't stay open on its own. Spring replacement is dangerous and should only be performed by trained professionals due to the high tension involved. If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately for a safety inspection.

How long does a garage door installation typically take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours for a single door or 6-8 hours for a double door. This includes removal of the old door, installation of the new door and hardware, opener installation or reconnection, and thorough testing of all components. Complex installations with custom doors, structural modifications, or additional features may take longer. We always provide a time estimate during your free consultation and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
