Regular maintenance is recommended at least once every 2 years to ensure the door operates smoothly and to catch any potential issues early. In areas in close proximity to salt water, we recommend servicing every 12 months, as the salt in the air causes issues more rapidly.
Common signs include unusual noises (grinding, squeaking), slow or jerky movements, difficulty opening or closing, or visible damage to the door, cables or tracks.
Avoid using the door and contact us to realign it. Attempting to fix it yourself could cause further damage or pose safety risks.
Symptoms of worn-out springs include the door not opening fully, uneven movement, or the door feeling heavier than usual. If you hear loud noises when operating the door, it could also indicate spring issues. Visually, you may see that the spring has broken.
Yes, we can replace individual panels, but it depends on the door’s make and model. Matching the new panel with the existing ones is essential to maintain aesthetics and functionality.
Loud noises can be caused by worn-out or loose components, lack of lubrication, or misalignment. Identifying and addressing the specific issue can help resolve the noise. In this scenario, it is best to contact us to complete a service on your garage door.
Regular maintenance, such as lubricating moving parts, inspecting hardware, and washing the door down with a mild detergent can help extend the door’s lifespan.
Use a mild detergent and water to clean the door’s surface. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. For stubborn stains, a soft cloth or sponge should be used, and rinse thoroughly with water.
The best type depends on factors like the type of garage door, your garage door’s weight and size, budget and desired add-ons. Add-ons include infrared beams that auto reverse the door when obstructed, battery back-up systems so you can still operate your garage door opener during a power outage, and smartphone connectivity to name a few.
Insulated garage doors help maintain a stable temperature inside your garage, reduce energy costs, and offer better soundproofing compared to non-insulated doors.
On average, a well-maintained garage door can last between 15 to 30 years, depending on the location, material, usage, and maintenance.
Yes, you can add insulation to your current door by using insulation kits or panels. However, we recommend that the insulation is installed by us, as this will ensure a perfect fit and finish. The insulation will also add weight to the door and change the balance, meaning that the springs will also need to be adjusted.
