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

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours for a single door and 5-7 hours for a double door. This includes removing the old door, installing the new one, setting up the opener, and testing all safety features. If there's additional work needed—like frame repairs or new opener installation—it may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate during your free in-home consultation.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular tune-ups include lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, inspecting cables and rollers, testing safety features, and adjusting door balance. Annual maintenance extends the life of your door, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and keeps your warranty valid. Many customers schedule service in spring or fall when weather conditions are moderate.

Why is my garage door making loud noises?

Loud noises usually indicate worn parts or lack of lubrication. Common causes include worn rollers, loose hardware, dry hinges, or issues with the opener. Grinding sounds often mean the rollers need replacement. Squeaking suggests lubrication is needed. Banging can indicate worn springs or loose track brackets. While some issues are simple fixes, unusual noises should be inspected by a professional to prevent more serious problems.
