How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend annual maintenance for residential garage doors and bi-annual service for commercial doors. Regular maintenance includes lubrication, spring tension adjustment, safety sensor testing, and hardware inspection. This preventive care can extend your door's lifespan by 5-10 years and help avoid costly emergency repairs.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours, including removal of the old door, installation of the new door and opener, and testing of all safety features. For custom doors or complex installations, the process may take a full day. We always schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

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

First, check if the opener has power and the remote batteries are fresh. Verify the safety sensors aren't blocked or misaligned. If the door still won't open, it may have a broken spring or cable - do not attempt to force it open as this can cause injury or damage. Call us for a professional diagnosis and repair.
