How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular inspections can catch small problems before they become expensive repairs, extend the life of your door and opener, and ensure safe operation. If you use your garage door multiple times daily, twice-yearly service may be beneficial.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Common signs include: the door feels unusually heavy when lifting manually, the door doesn't open all the way or opens unevenly, you hear loud snapping or popping sounds, visible gaps in the spring coils, or the door slams down quickly. Never attempt to replace springs yourself—they're under extreme tension and can cause serious injury.

How long does a typical garage door installation take?

A standard single or double garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours, including removal of the old door, installation of tracks and hardware, door panel assembly, opener installation, and safety testing. Complex installations with custom doors or additional features may take longer. We always ensure everything is perfectly calibrated before we leave.
