What We Offer: Quick Installation and Comprehensive Service Options

When you invest in a new garage door, you are purchasing more than just a barrier for your vehicle, you are investing in the thermal efficiency, security, and aesthetic value of your property. Our installation service covers the entire scope of the project, from the removal of your existing garage door to the precise calibration of the new system. We handle heavy-duty steel doors, carriage-house styles, and modern aluminum options, ensuring the hardware matches the architectural needs of your home.

We provide a complete hardware overhaul with every installation. This includes replacing the tracks, rollers, springs, and cables. Reusing old hardware with a new door often leads to premature failure and noise issues. By installing an entirely new ecosystem of components, we help ensure that the door moves fluidly and seals tightly against the floor. This is particularly important for attached garages where air gaps can lead to energy loss.

Our service also includes the integration of modern opener technology. We install high-performance openers that feature battery backups, advanced encryption to prevent code grabbing, and Wi-Fi connectivity for remote monitoring. Whether you require a chain drive for durability or a belt drive for quiet operation near bedrooms, the setup is included in our installation package.

Your Installation Journey: What to Expect Step-by-Step

A professional installation is a systematic process designed to ensure safety and longevity. We do not cut corners, as the tension involved in garage door mechanics requires precise handling.

  • Site Inspection and Measurement: The process begins with an accurate assessment of your garage opening. We measure the width, height, and available headroom to determine the correct track radius and door size. This step ensures that the new door clears any obstructions, such as ceiling lights or storage racks.
  • Removal and Disposal: We safely disassemble your old door. This involves releasing the high-tension springs, a task that should only be handled by trained professionals, and removing the panels and track system. We haul away the debris so you are not left with a mess in your driveway
  • Frame Preparation and Track Installation: Before the new door goes up, we inspect the door jambs for rot or damage. Once the frame is verified as solid, we install the new vertical and horizontal tracks. These must be perfectly leveled and plumb, even a fraction of an inch off-center can cause the door to bind or derail.
  • Panel Assembly and Hardware Attachment: We stack the new panels one by one, attaching hinges and rollers as we go. If the door is insulated, we ensure the weather stripping between sections is properly seated to prevent drafts.
  • Spring and Cable Installation: This is the most critical phase. We install the torsion or extension springs and wind them to the specific tension required for the weight of your door. A properly balanced door should be easy to lift manually with one hand. We connect the lift cables to the bottom brackets, ensuring equal tension on both sides.
  • Opener Connection and Testing: Finally, we mount the operator, connect the drawbar arm, and set the travel limits. We test the safety sensors (photo-eyes) and the auto-reverse mechanism to ensure the door complies with modern safety standards.

Deciding on Repair vs. Replacement: What You Need to Know

Determining whether to patch up an existing door or invest in a new one is a common dilemma. While repairs are often feasible for minor issues, there are specific scenarios where replacement is the more financially sound and safe decision.

  • Catastrophic Structural Damage: If a vehicle has backed into the door, or if wind damage has bent the sections, structural integrity is compromised. Bent sections cannot simply be hammered out, they will never line up correctly again, leading to track damage and opener burnout. Replacement is the only viable option here.
  • Recurring Breakdowns and Cost: If you are facing a repair bill that exceeds 50 percent of the cost of a new garage door system, replacement is often the smarter economic move. Continually replacing springs, rollers, and hinges on a door that has reached the end of its expected lifespan is a temporary fix for a system nearing the end of its lifecycle.
  • Energy Efficiency Requirements: Older wooden or uninsulated metal doors offer almost no thermal protection. If you use your garage as a workspace or if you have a bedroom above the garage, an old door is likely contributing to higher energy bills. Upgrading to a triple-layer insulated door can significantly improve temperature control within your home.
  • Safety and Security Deficits: Doors manufactured before modern safety standards were widely adopted may lack essential features like optical sensors and auto-reverse functions. If your door lacks these features, it can pose a risk to pets and children. Modern doors also use rolling-code technology that helps prevent unauthorized access.
