How quickly can you fix my sensor issues?

Most sensor issues can be diagnosed and repaired within one service visit, typically taking 30-60 minutes. Our technicians carry common sensor parts in their trucks, allowing for immediate repairs. If your sensors are blinking or your door won't close, we can usually resolve it the same day you call.

What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Sensor issues are commonly caused by misalignment (from bumps or settling), dirty lenses, direct sunlight interference, frayed wires, or moisture damage. Sometimes spiders can build webs over the sensors! Our technicians will identify the exact cause and provide a lasting solution.

Do you offer financing for new modern door installations?

Yes! We offer flexible financing options through our partnership with trusted lenders. Qualified customers can enjoy low monthly payments with competitive interest rates. Ask about our 0% APR promotions on select installations. We make upgrading your garage door affordable.

How long does a typical garage door repair take?

Most repairs are completed within 1-2 hours on the same day you call. Simple repairs like sensor adjustments or opener reprogramming may take as little as 30 minutes. Spring replacements typically take 45-90 minutes. More complex repairs involving multiple components or panel replacement may take 2-3 hours. We always provide a time estimate before beginning work.

My garage door is making strange noises. What could be wrong?

Unusual noises can indicate several issues: grinding or scraping sounds often mean tracks are misaligned or rollers need replacement; squeaking indicates lack of lubrication or worn bearings; popping or banging sounds may signal spring problems; rumbling often means the belt or chain is loose. We recommend not ignoring these sounds, as minor issues can develop into major problems. Call us for a diagnostic inspection.

How long does a new garage door installation take?

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours to complete. This includes removal of the old door, installation of the new door and hardware, opener installation or reconnection, and thorough testing of all systems. More complex installations (custom doors, structural modifications, or commercial doors) may take a full day or more. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your routine.

What types of garage doors do you install?

We install all types of residential and commercial garage doors including: traditional raised panel steel doors, carriage-style doors with decorative hardware, contemporary aluminum and glass doors, wood and faux wood doors, insulated doors for energy efficiency, high-speed commercial doors, fire-rated doors, and custom-designed doors. We work with all major manufacturers including Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, and CHI.

How do I choose the right garage door for my home?

Choosing the right door depends on several factors: your home's architectural style, desired insulation value (R-value), material preferences (steel, wood, aluminum, composite), maintenance requirements, and budget. We offer free in-home consultations where our experts assess your needs, show you options, and help you select the perfect door. We also have a showroom where you can see materials and styles in person.

What qualifies as a garage door emergency?

We consider the following situations emergencies: your door won't close and your home security is compromised, your car is trapped inside the garage, a broken spring has made the door inoperable and you need access, the door has come off track and is a safety hazard, or storm damage has left your garage exposed. For these situations, we offer 24/7 emergency service with a 30-minute response time.

Do you charge extra for emergency or weekend service?

We maintain consistent, fair pricing regardless of when you call. While some companies charge premium rates for nights and weekends, we believe emergency service shouldn't come with surprise fees. You'll receive the same competitive pricing whether you call at 2 PM on Tuesday or 2 AM on Saturday. Emergency diagnostic fees apply to all emergency calls and are credited toward repair costs.

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

First, check the sensors on each side of the door—ensure they're aligned (lights should be steady, not blinking) and clean the lenses. Check for obstructions in the door's path. Try pressing and holding the wall button continuously—if the door closes this way, it confirms a sensor issue. If none of these work, do not try to manually force the door closed as this can cause injury. Secure your home as best you can and call us for emergency service.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once per year, ideally before winter. Regular maintenance includes lubrication of all moving parts, spring tension adjustment, safety feature testing, hardware tightening, and a complete inspection of all components. Annual maintenance extends the life of your door, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and can identify small problems before they become expensive repairs.

What does your warranty cover?

Our comprehensive warranty includes: a 2-year warranty on all labor and workmanship, full manufacturer warranty support on all products we install (typically 3-10 years depending on the product), and a lifetime warranty on installation services. We also offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee—if you're not completely happy with our work, we'll make it right. Extended warranty options are available for additional peace of mind.

Can I perform garage door maintenance myself?

Some basic maintenance is safe for homeowners: visual inspection for damage, keeping tracks clean, lubricating hinges and rollers with silicone spray (not WD-40), and testing the auto-reverse safety feature. However, never attempt to adjust springs, cables, or the opener mechanism yourself—these components are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. Professional maintenance ensures all components are properly serviced and safe.
