Reasons You May Need a Garage Door Installation

- Expanding Current Garage: Maybe you just purchased your dream sports car or your child just got their first vehicle. Either way, expanding your current garage will give you more room for more vehicles, for storage, and more. Add additional garage doors to the new addition to ensure entering & exiting is not difficult.

Maintenance Tips for Your Garage Door
Leaving your garage door with no maintenance after installation is a recipe for disaster. They will much more quickly wear out and cost you more money in repairs or replacement. Here are some tips for maintaining your garage door year-round:
- Inspect Rollers - You should inspect your rollers at least twice a year. Make sure there are no cracked, chipped, or worn rollers that can cause you issues. If so, replace them quickly. You should also be replacing them every five to seven years.
- Replace Weatherstripping - The rubber weatherstripping on the bottom of your garage door acts as a barrier from the elements, rodents, dirt, dust, and other debris. We recommend replacing it every year or two for maximum protection.
- Clear Tracks - You should clear your roller tracks of any debris. Not doing so can cause rollers to get damaged or stuck.
- Lubricate Moving Parts - Be sure to regularly lubricate the moving parts of your garage door for smooth operation. It takes a few minutes and will save you a lot of headaches. We recommend using white lithium grease for your garage door opener chain and screw. You should use a mild grease spray for the door springs.
