Question 1

How quickly can you fix my slow movement?

Accepted Answer

We offer immediate dispatch for urgent issues. In most cases, our certified technicians can be at your location within 1-2 hours during business hours. For slow movement issues, we'll diagnose the problem on-site and often complete repairs the same day. Common causes include worn rollers, lack of lubrication, or spring tension issues - all of which we can typically resolve in a single visit.

Question 2

What causes slow movement in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Slow movement in garage doors can be caused by several factors: worn or damaged rollers that create friction, inadequate lubrication on tracks and moving parts, weakening springs that struggle to lift the door, bent or misaligned tracks, or issues with the garage door opener motor. Our technicians perform a comprehensive 25-point inspection to identify the exact cause and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Question 5

How long does a garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the complexity of the job and whether we're replacing an existing door or installing on a new construction. This includes removal of the old door (if applicable), installation of the new door and hardware, opener installation or reconnection, and thorough testing of all safety features.

Question 7

Do you offer emergency garage door repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide 24/7 emergency garage door repair services. We understand that a broken garage door can be a major inconvenience and security concern. Our emergency technicians are equipped to handle common issues like broken springs, doors off track, and opener failures. Call our emergency line anytime for immediate assistance.

Question 8

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Annual servicing helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your door and opener, and ensures all safety features are working properly. Homes with heavy garage door usage (multiple cars, frequent daily use) may benefit from semi-annual maintenance.

Question 9

What does your maintenance service include?

Accepted Answer

Our comprehensive 25-point maintenance service includes: visual inspection of all components, lubrication of rollers, hinges, springs, and tracks, tension adjustment for optimal balance, safety sensor testing and alignment, opener force and travel limit adjustment, hardware tightening, weather seal inspection, and a detailed written report of our findings and recommendations.

Question 10

Are your technicians licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All of our technicians are fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Additionally, our team holds industry certifications including Master Technician and EPA certifications. We conduct background checks on all employees and require ongoing training to stay current with the latest garage door technologies and safety practices.

Question 11

What warranty do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We stand behind our work with a comprehensive 10-year warranty on all installations. This includes parts and labor for any defects in workmanship or materials. Additionally, manufacturer warranties on doors and openers may provide additional coverage. We're proud of our work and committed to your complete satisfaction - if you're not happy, we'll make it right.

Question 12

How much does a new garage door cost?

Accepted Answer

Garage door costs vary widely based on size, material, insulation, style, and features. Basic single-car steel doors start around $800-1,200 installed, while premium insulated or custom doors can range from $2,000-5,000+. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you can understand exactly what your specific project will cost before any work begins.

Question 13

Can you match my existing garage door style?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes! Whether you need to replace a single panel or want a new door that complements an existing home style, we have access to a wide range of door styles, colors, and finishes. Bring us a photo or description of what you're looking for, and we'll help you find the perfect match.

Question 14

What should I do if my garage door won't open?

Accepted Answer

First, check if the opener is receiving power (try the wall button and remote). If it has power but won't move, do NOT try to force it - there may be a broken spring or other safety issue. Check for obvious obstructions in the track or near the safety sensors. If you can't identify a simple fix, call us for professional diagnosis. Attempting to force a stuck door can cause injury or additional damage.
