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. If your door is used frequently or you notice any unusual sounds or movements, more frequent service may be beneficial.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and hardware, setting up the opener, and testing all safety features. Custom installations or doors with special features may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate during your consultation.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Common signs include: the door feels heavier when lifting manually, the door doesn't stay open when lifted halfway, you hear loud banging noises when operating, the door opens unevenly, or you notice gaps in the springs. Springs typically last 7-10 years with normal use. If you suspect spring issues, avoid using the door and call us immediately as broken springs can be dangerous.
