Accepted Answer

Yes! Most new garage doors come with a manufacturer's warranty ranging from 1-lifetime depending on the model. We also provide a labor warranty on our installations. Extended warranty options are available.

Question 9

How long do garage door springs last?

Accepted Answer

Most garage door springs are rated for 10,000-15,000 cycles, which typically translates to 7-12 years of normal use. High-cycle springs can last 20,000+ cycles. We recommend replacing both springs at the same time if one breaks.

Question 10

Can I replace garage door springs myself?

Accepted Answer

We strongly advise against DIY spring replacement. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled improperly. Always hire a professional for spring replacement.

Question 11

How do I know if my garage door opener needs replacement?

Accepted Answer

Signs you need a new opener include: excessive noise, slow operation, inconsistent performance, the door reversing unexpectedly, or if your opener is more than 15 years old. Modern openers are quieter, safer, and offer smart features.

Question 12

What's the difference between chain, belt, and screw drive openers?

Accepted Answer

Chain drives are the most affordable and durable but can be noisy. Belt drives are quieter and ideal for attached garages. Screw drives require less maintenance but may struggle in extreme temperatures. We can recommend the best option for your needs.

Question 13

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend annual maintenance for your garage door. This includes lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, testing safety features, and inspecting for wear. Regular maintenance extends the life of your door and prevents costly repairs.

Question 14

What maintenance can I do myself?

Accepted Answer

You can visually inspect your door monthly, keep the tracks clean, lubricate rollers and hinges with garage door lubricant (not WD-40), and test the auto-reverse safety feature. Leave spring adjustments and major repairs to professionals.

Question 15

Why is my garage door so noisy?

Accepted Answer

Common causes include worn rollers, loose hardware, lack of lubrication, or an aging opener. Our technicians can diagnose the noise and recommend solutions, which may include replacing rollers with nylon ones or upgrading to a belt-drive opener.
