The Type of Garage Doors We Work With
We’re fully prepared to handle your garage door needs, but we only work with steel garage doors. This is because we feel that they are the strongest on the market. However, there are many brands and styles available, so you are sure to find something that meets your needs.
Generally, steel is stronger than other materials. Therefore, it is going to be a barrier against people trying to steal your possessions or vandalize your vehicle.
We work with a variety of brands, such as Amarr, Clopay, and Wayne Dalton.
Amarr is a popular brand in the industry, and it is committed to providing its customers with high-quality construction and unique features. Together with Amarr, Clopay and Wayne Dalton offer elegance and functionality and have a variety of energy-efficient options that are durable and made to last. All the brands also offer attractive doors and insulation.
What Is Insulation?
Garage door insulation is an extra layer of foam added to your garage door. The insulation makes your garage door stronger and prevents heat and cold from entering your home which saves you money in the long run on heating and air conditioning.
Generally, homeowners with attached garages prefer to have an insulated garage door because the heat/cold from outside can easily enter the home. Those who have detached garages may not care and use an uninsulated garage door because they are going to be less expensive.
You should consider the r-value when focused on an insulated garage door. As the R-value is higher, the insulation is more effective.
Styles of Garage Doors
You can find a variety of styles for your garage door. This is what gives it character and makes it appear different than the others on the block. Garage doors consist of between 4 and 5 panels and they come in different styles such as traditional, and carriage houses.
Many homeowners want the garage door to have some windows. This makes it easier for you to get natural light when working in the area. However, window-less varieties are also available. There’s also decorative hardware that you can find. The handles can be made of various materials and shaped to meet your needs. This can add a touch of whimsy, elegance, or warmth to the door.
What Does a Garage Door Installation Include?
When you decide to have us install a new garage door, we are going to first remove the old door. This is after all of the measurements have been taken. Then, we are going to bring in the new garage door and install everything. With that, you are going to get a new spring system and new tracks. The old ones have to be removed so that the new ones can be installed. Of course, you also have to have rollers and cables. Even if your current system still has life in it, we think it is always best to install brand new components.
Though most homeowners prefer to have an opener installed, too, this is not necessary. It’s the motor that allows you to press a button and have the door raise and lower. However, you can open/close the garage door manually each time. If you choose not to have one installed, you can always have an opener put in later.
Care and Maintenance
Once you’ve got your new door, it’s important that you maintain it and care for it so that it lasts a long time.
Visual Inspection - Visually inspect the door every few months. This includes checking the opener, panels, pulleys, and rollers. You can also look at the springs, cables, and tracks. Look for broken springs, cables, rollers that are not on the track, and that the door is closed evenly.
Door Lubrication - Once the door has been installed, our technicians can provide you with a free Amarr Super Lube spray. Just ask our technician for a free spray after the installation. You should lubricate the springs, tracks, cables, rollers, and pulleys once a year. This is to ensure that everything is running smoothly.
Clean and Paint Your Garage Door - It’s important that you keep the garage door clean. Spray it down with pressure water or the garden hose periodically to remove any dust and dirt. You should also ensure that the bottom of the door is clean, as well as the top.
Testing the Balance of the Door - You should test that the garage door is properly balanced once or twice a year. If it is not balanced properly, we provide this maintenance service to our customers.
Read the Owner’s Manual - Of course, when you get anything new, it makes sense to read the manual. It is full of helpful information and troubleshooting tips that you can try before calling us out to help. You should ensure that you’re always following the instructions. They are designed to keep you and your home safe while using them.
Why Trust a Professional Garage Door Repair Company?
You should always call a professional when installing a garage door because it’s a lot safer and less expensive. It’s dangerous to do it alone and can cause structural damage, property damage, and injury. Our technicians are licensed, professional, and experienced to handle your garage door installation.
