How long does it take to install a new garage door?

With proper maintenance, a quality garage door can last 15-30 years. Steel doors typically last 15-20 years, while wood doors may need more maintenance but can last 20-30 years.

We also offer extended warranty options for additional peace of mind.

Question 9

Can I repair my garage door spring myself?

Accepted Answer

We strongly advise against attempting to repair garage door springs yourself. Springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if handled improperly. This is one repair that should always be left to trained professionals who have the proper tools and safety equipment.

Question 10

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. During this service, we inspect and lubricate all moving parts, check the balance and alignment, test safety features, and identify any potential issues before they become major problems. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs and extend your door's lifespan.

Question 11

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, checks, and cash. We also offer financing options for larger projects like new door installations. Ask our technician about current financing promotions.

Question 12

How do I know if I need a new garage door or just repairs?

Accepted Answer

Several factors help determine this: the age of your door (15+ years often means replacement makes sense), frequency of repairs (multiple repairs in recent years), safety features (older doors may lack modern safety mechanisms), energy efficiency (new insulated doors can reduce energy costs), and aesthetics (updating your door can dramatically improve curb appeal). During our free estimate, we'll help you weigh the costs and benefits of repair vs. replacement.
