Choosing the Right Door
The process starts with choosing the right door for your home, a choice that balances aesthetics, functionality, and price. Sectional doors are the most common type seen in residential properties. They offer a variety of panel designs and a smooth operation that’s great for a garage with limited headroom. Roll-up doors are made for efficiency and security, with the door rolling directly into a bundle at the top of the door when opened. They are typically used in commercial applications but can be a unique choice for the right home. For a more traditional appeal, especially on older homes, swing-out doors open from a central hinge, offering a wider opening and a classic look. If you have a distinctive home or a design vision that a standard door won’t satisfy, a custom door can be tailored to fit your precise specifications. We’ll help you weigh the benefits and considerations of each type of garage door, so you can make an informed choice that fits your home and lifestyle.
Measuring and Preparation
Once you’ve chosen the perfect door, the next step is to measure for a precise fit. Do you need a single or double door? What’s the size of your opening? And importantly, do you have plans to increase the size of your garage in the future? Our experts will walk you through the methodical process of taking accurate measurements, underscored by the adage ‘measure twice, cut once.’ We’ll look for any potential obstacles that may hinder the installation or operation of your new door, and help you prepare your garage to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. Our goal is to provide a seamless installation that not only enhances the appearance of your home but also adds value and functionality.
Professional vs. DIY Installation
While DIY may seem attractive due to cost concerns, garage door installation is a complex, dangerous task that is best left to professionals. Garage doors are the heaviest moving part of your home. Mishandling can lead to serious injury or even death. Furthermore, installation requires specialized tools and an understanding of door systems. Our team has both and the experience to match, ensuring a secure, precise installation every time. Additionally, when you choose professional installation, you will receive a warranty and support for your door’s performance, ultimately saving you money on potential repairs or reinstallation in the long run.
The Professional’s Touch
Our professional installers bring a level of expertise and attention to detail that cannot be replicated with DIY installation. From proper framing and leveling to ensuring the door is balanced and fitted correctly, every step is crucial in creating a long-lasting, functional garage door. We also provide additional services such as painting or staining for wooden doors, adding windows for natural light or ventilation, and even adding insulation for energy efficiency. Our goal is not just to install a door, but to enhance the overall appearance and functionality of your garage.
