How quickly can you fix my sensor issues?

In most cases, we can resolve sensor issues the same day you call. Photo-eye sensors are one of the most common garage door problems, and our technicians carry replacement sensors on their trucks. Simple alignment issues can often be fixed within 30 minutes, while sensor replacements typically take about an hour. For emergency situations, we offer priority scheduling to get your door working safely as quickly as possible.

What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Garage door sensor issues are typically caused by one of several factors: misalignment from bumps or vibration, dirty lenses blocking the infrared beam, damaged wiring from pests or wear, electrical issues from power surges, or simply age-related failure. Sun interference can also cause intermittent problems when direct sunlight hits the sensors. Our technicians diagnose the root cause to ensure a lasting fix, not just a temporary solution.

Do you offer financing for new carriage-style door installations?

Yes! We understand that a new garage door is a significant investment. We offer several financing options to help make your new carriage-style door affordable, including 0% APR options for qualified buyers. We also accept all major credit cards and can work with you on payment plans. Contact us for current financing promotions and to discuss which option works best for your budget.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours for a single door and 6-8 hours for a double door. This includes removal of the old door, installation of the new door and hardware, opener installation or reconnection, and testing. Custom doors or doors requiring structural modifications may take longer. We always complete installations in a single visit.

What brands of garage doors do you install?

We install and service all major garage door brands including Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and more. As brand-authorized installers, we have access to full product lines and manufacturer warranties. We can help you compare options and choose the best door for your home and budget.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance once per year for residential garage doors. However, if you use your door more than average (more than 4 cycles per day) or if your door is older than 10 years, twice-yearly maintenance may be appropriate. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and extends the life of your door and opener.

Are your technicians licensed and insured?

Yes, absolutely. All of our technicians are fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We also maintain IDA (International Door Association) certification and ongoing training to stay current with the latest garage door technology and safety standards. Your home and family's safety is our top priority.

What is included in your warranty?

We provide a comprehensive 10-year warranty on all our work. This covers labor and installation for the full 10 years. Parts are covered by their respective manufacturer warranties, which typically range from 3 years to lifetime depending on the component. We stand behind our work and will make it right if any issues arise.

Do you offer emergency garage door repair?

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency garage door repair service. Whether your door is stuck open (security risk), stuck closed (car trapped inside), or has come off its tracks, we're here to help any time of day or night. Emergency calls are prioritized and we strive to reach you as quickly as possible.

Can you add windows to my existing garage door?

In many cases, yes. Adding windows to an existing garage door is possible if your door panels are designed to accept window inserts. We can assess your current door and discuss options. If your door isn't compatible, we can help you choose a new door with the window style you prefer. Windows add natural light and curb appeal to your garage.
