How much does a new garage door cost?

The cost of a new garage door varies widely based on size, material, style, and features.

How long does garage door installation take?

Most residential garage door installations are completed in 4-6 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and hardware, setting up the opener if included, and testing all safety features. More complex installations or custom doors may take longer.

Should I repair or replace my garage door?

This depends on several factors: the age of your door, the extent of damage, energy efficiency needs, and your budget. Generally, if repairs exceed 50% of replacement cost, or if your door is over 15-20 years old, replacement often makes more sense. We'll give you an honest assessment during our free inspection.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once per year. This includes lubrication, safety testing, hardware tightening, and inspection of springs, cables, and other components. Regular maintenance can extend your door's lifespan significantly and prevent costly emergency repairs.

Why is my garage door making noise?

Common causes of noisy garage doors include lack of lubrication, worn rollers, loose hardware, unbalanced doors, or issues with the opener. Often, professional lubrication and adjustment can dramatically reduce noise. If the noise is sudden or severe, it may indicate a more serious problem that needs immediate attention.

What causes stuck doors in garage doors?

There are several common causes for stuck garage doors. The most frequent culprits include: broken torsion or extension springs, which bear the weight of the door and can snap over time; misaligned or damaged tracks that prevent smooth movement; worn cables that may fray or break; malfunctioning garage door openers or stripped gears; lack of lubrication causing friction in the rollers and hinges; and weather-related issues like ice buildup or warped panels. Sometimes the issue is as simple as dead batteries in your remote or an obstructed photo-eye sensor. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the exact cause and provide a lasting solution.
