How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular servicing includes lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, testing safety features, and inspecting cables and hardware. This preventive care can extend your door's lifespan by years and help avoid costly emergency repairs.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Common signs include: the door feels heavier than usual when lifting manually, the door doesn't stay open when released, you hear loud banging noises during operation, the door opens unevenly or appears crooked, or you see visible gaps or stretching in the springs. Never attempt to replace springs yourself as they're under extreme tension.

Why should I choose aluminum garage doors?

Aluminum doors offer several advantages: they're lightweight yet durable, resistant to rust and corrosion, require minimal maintenance, and are available in numerous modern designs. They're particularly ideal for coastal or humid areas. Our aluminum doors come with an absolute satisfaction guarantee, ensuring you'll love the look and performance.
