Frequently Asked questions!
How long does a garage door repair take?
This will depend on the complexity of the issue and the availability of parts. Some minor repairs may be completed within a few hours, while more extensive repairs or replacements could take a day or two. We’ll give you an estimate of the time required for the repair when we come for the initial service call, so you know what to expect.
How often should I have my garage door serviced?
We usually recommend having your garage door serviced twice every year to make sure it’s functioning properly and safely – the fall and the spring. This quick and simple maintenance call includes an inspection and tune-up of the springs, cables, rollers, and opener, as well as lubrication and adjustments as needed. Regular maintenance can help prevent bigger and more expensive issues from developing and ultimately extend the lifespan of your garage door.
How can I prevent my garage door from needing repair?
There are several steps you can take to keep your garage door in good working order. You can do this yourself or use our affordable garage door maintenance service for professional care, and take one more thing off your to do list.
- Regularly lubricate the moving parts (springs, cables, rollers, etc.)
- Keep the door balanced and properly aligned.
- Avoid slamming the door or using it to support weight.
- Keep the tracks and surrounding area clean and clear of items and debris.
- Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations.
Can I repair my garage door myself?
Some minor repairs can be done on your own, but often with garage doors, there are moving or heavy parts that can be dangerous to work with so it’s generally best to leave it to the professionals to ensure the repair is done safely and correctly. This also offers you a warranty on the work completed.
Can a damaged door be repaired, or do I need to replace it?
In many cases, a damaged garage door can be repaired. However, the extent of the damage and the age of the door will determine whether repair or replacement is the more cost-effective option. Our professional team can come take a look at your door and give you advice on the best option for you.
