How much does a garage door cost?
Pricing varies depending on the cost of manufacturing, but a standard hollow door would be the most affordable with installation and hardware. There are many upgrades you could choose for better energy efficiency, curb appeal and increased security. Contact us if you would like help choosing the right garage door system and/or gate system to meet your needs.
Should I use a professional installer?
Garage doors and gates are the biggest moving systems in your home. The weight of the garage door and gates is significant and can pose a risk to those you love. Installing garage doors and gates can be dangerous and should be done by a professional, trained technician. Keep your home and family safe and schedule service with us today.
Should I install one or two springs on a garage door?
We recommend having two garage door springs installed on any door 16’ or wider. It also depends on the weight of your garage door. Our trained technician will be able to determine the correct spring setup for your door. Installing two springs will help to increase the lift of your garage door system and give you a way to open your garage door even in the event of a broken spring.
Are there additional upgrades and features I can add to my system?
Yes, we have many upgrades that can improve security and convenience on your property. Ask about improved insulation, quieter operators, adding keypads, video surveillance, and smart technology to your garage doors and gate systems. Our specialist can help you choose the features that meet your needs the best.
What do I do about maintaining and servicing my garage doors and/or gates?
We have an affordable, hassle-free preventative maintenance program available for your garage doors and gate systems. Many of the products we install have maintenance and warranty plans included in their purchase. Regular maintenance, such as greasing hinges and wheels, resetting operators and keeping the track clean, will help keep your doors and gates performing the way they should.
What forms of payment do you take?
We accept cash, check, credit card and debit cards. We also have an online payment system available through our website.
What is a Torque Master and should I convert my existing garage door springs?
We offer Torque Master spring system replacements. The idea behind the Torque Master design is to improve the appearance of the garage door springs by hiding them in a galvanized tube above the door. Though it is a much cleaner look, these systems do not typically last very long and parts are difficult to find. Contact us to find out more about our Torque Master garage door spring system replacement.
Are sliding or swinging gates better?
This depends on what benefits are most important to you. Sliding gates provide more access control and fewer incidents of forced entry. Swinging gates have less regular maintenance and are more elegant in appearance. Both, if done correctly, offer you security and can easily be installed by one of our trained technicians.
