Should I repair or replace my garage door?

Generally, if your door is less than 10-15 years old and the damage is isolated (like a single panel or spring), repair is usually the better option. However, if your door is showing multiple signs of wear, has significant rust or rot, or if repair costs exceed 50% of a new door, replacement may be more cost-effective. We'll give you honest advice based on your specific situation.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and opener, and testing all safety features. More complex installations (custom doors, multiple doors, or new construction) may take longer. We always complete installations in a single visit.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes! We understand that a new garage door is a significant investment. We offer flexible financing options with competitive rates to help make your project more affordable. Ask our team about current financing promotions when you call for your free estimate.

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

First, check if the opener has power and the remote batteries are working. Try using the wall button if the remote isn't working. Check for any obvious obstructions in the door's path or on the tracks. If the door opens manually but not with the opener, the issue is likely with the opener. If it won't open at all, it could be a broken spring—in which case, don't try to force it open. Call us for emergency service!

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, inspecting cables and rollers, testing safety features, and tightening hardware. Annual maintenance can extend the life of your door by years and helps prevent costly emergency repairs.
