Our Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my garage door serviced?
To ensure optimal function and safety, we recommend that you have your garage door serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance, such as lubricating moving parts, tightening hardware, and ensuring proper balance, can help to extend the life of your garage door.
What are some signs that my garage door needs to be repaired?
Signs include unusual noises, difficulty opening or closing, and visible damage. If your garage door makes excessive noise during operation, is difficult to open or close, or has visible damage to the panels or hardware, you should call a professional.
When is it time to replace my garage door instead of repairing it?
If you notice extensive damage, large dents, rust, or structural issues, it may be time to replace your garage door. If your garage door breaks down often and requires frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to have a new garage door installed by a professional.
What should I do if my garage door is struggling to open and close?
If your garage door isn’t opening and closing easily, it’s time to call a professional. The team at Dew Door can provide you with a thorough assessment and effective and efficient repair services.
Why should I use a garage door professional?
Garage doors include heavy components, high-tension springs, and complex hardware. A professional garage door technician knows how to handle these components safely and can ensure that the door is properly aligned and will function correctly.
How is a commercial garage door different from a residential garage door?
A commercial garage door is built for heavy-duty use and favors function over aesthetics. Commercial garage doors feature reinforced construction, industrial-grade hardware, and enhanced security.
