Question 1

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps identify potential problems before they become expensive repairs, extends the life of your door and opener, ensures safe operation, and keeps your warranty valid. If your door gets heavy use or shows signs of wear, more frequent service may be beneficial.

Question 2

Why is my garage door making loud noises?

Accepted Answer

Loud noises from your garage door can indicate several issues. Grinding sounds often mean worn rollers or bearings that need lubrication or replacement. Squeaking usually indicates that metal parts need lubrication. Banging or popping sounds might indicate loose hardware or problems with the springs. Rattling could mean loose nuts, bolts, or chain. While some noise is normal, sudden changes or loud sounds should be inspected by a professional to prevent further damage.

Question 3

How long does a garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. This includes removing the old door (if applicable), installing the new door and tracks, mounting and programming the opener, testing all safety features, and cleaning up the work area. Custom doors or doors requiring structural modifications may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate during your consultation.
