How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional garage door maintenance at least once per year. During this service, our technicians inspect springs, cables, rollers, and hardware; test safety features; lubricate moving parts; and identify potential problems before they cause failures. Annual maintenance extends your door's lifespan and prevents costly emergency repairs. Many customers schedule maintenance in spring or fall.

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours. This includes removing your old door, installing the new door and all hardware, connecting the opener, and testing everything for proper operation. Custom doors or doors requiring structural modifications may take longer. We complete most installations in a single visit and clean up the work area before leaving.
