DIY vs. Pro: When Each Path Makes Sense
Simple maintenance such as tightening hinge bolts or reprogramming a keypad can remain a DIY task. However, anything involving counterbalance springs, opener logic boards, or structural panel damage should stay with a licensed technician. Not only do we carry door weight charts for Clopay, Wayne Dalton, and Amarr systems, but we also warranty both the part and labor for a minimum of one year.
- DIY-friendly tasks: keypad reset, photo eye cleaning, mild lubrication, battery swaps.
- Technician-only tasks: torsion spring work, cable rewinds, panel reframing, opener board swaps, full track rehangs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out our frequently asked questions to get quick answers to some of the questions we hear the most. For more information, don’t hesitate to contact us!
What Do You Recommend for Garage Door Maintenance?
For maintenance, we recommend spraying all moving parts (pulleys, springs, etc.) with white lithium grease. Using this spray will ensure that your garage door does not become noisy and that the parts have an extended lifetime.
We also recommend releasing your garage door from the opener and trying to open the door manually. If the door feels too heavy, then it may need to be adjusted by a professional.
Finally, put something under your garage door in order to test your garage door opener. If the garage door sensors do not sense that something is under the door, meaning that it doesn’t stop, then you should have your door serviced immediately.
How Do I Paint My Garage Door?
You should expect the garage door to be installed within 2-3 days. However, we offer same-day service for emergencies.
If I Purchase a Garage Door Today, When Can I Expect to Have It Installed?
You should expect the garage door to be installed within 2-3 days. However, we offer same-day service for emergencies.
How Long Does a Garage Door Installation Typically Take?
Garage door installation time varies depending on the size of the door that is being installed; however, the time usually averages around 2-3 hours.
Do You Offer Emergency Service?
Depending on the time of day, we offer same-day emergency service for special situations that cannot wait!
What Does the Warranty Cover and How Long Is It For?
The warranties we offer cover paint finishes, and they usually last between 15 and 25 years. However, many warranties are dependent upon the quality of the garage door that you purchase; a higher quality translates into a better warranty.
Can I Just Replace a Section of My Garage Door?
Yes, you can replace just a section of your garage door instead of replacing the entire door as long as the company that manufactured your door still produces that model. However, in some cases, it is easier and cheaper to replace the entire door.
Will You Perform a Garage Door Safety Check?
Yes, we will perform a safety check of your garage door in order to determine if it is safe for you and your family!
What Do I Do if My Garage Door Remote Stops Working?
1. Replace the batteries
2. Replace the remote
How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?
On average, garage door springs will last for about 10,000 cycles. A cycle is defined as one complete opening and closing of your garage door. However, this number can be affected by a variety of factors, including the weight of your door, the type of springs you have, and other factors. If you’ve been wondering, “How long do garage door springs last?” We can help you understand what to expect.
If you live in an area with extreme temperatures, your springs may not last as long as they would in more moderate climates. Additionally, if your garage door is used more frequently than average, the springs will likely need to be replaced sooner.
When one of your garage door springs breaks, it’s important to replace both springs at the same time so that they wear evenly and don’t put undue stress on the opener. Failure to replace both springs can result in your door becoming unbalanced, which puts unnecessary strain on the opener and can cause premature failure.
People often ask us, “How long do garage door springs last?” They want to know if they’ll have to replace them soon, or they may think their existing springs could be nearing the end of their lifespan. It’s a good idea to have your springs inspected by a professional because they will be able to give you an estimate of how much longer they should last and let you know if it’s time to replace them.
