Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions homeowners ask us:

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 inspect all components, lubricate moving parts, check safety features, and make necessary adjustments.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Common signs include the door feeling unusually heavy when lifting manually, the door not staying open or closing unevenly, visible gaps or stretching in the springs, loud squeaking or grinding noises, and the door jerking during operation. If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately – attempting to replace springs yourself can be extremely dangerous.

How long does a typical garage door installation take?

A standard 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, programming remotes, and testing all safety features. Our technicians ensure everything is perfectly aligned and operating smoothly before they leave.
