Question 2

What causes damaged panels in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Garage door panels can become damaged from several causes: vehicle impacts (the most common), severe weather including hail and high winds, age-related wear and deterioration, improper balance causing uneven stress, rust and corrosion (especially in coastal areas like Connecticut Shoreline), and attempted break-ins. Regular maintenance can help identify potential issues before they become major problems. We recommend annual inspections to catch early signs of wear.

Question 4

How long does a garage door installation take?

Question 8

How can I tell if my garage door springs need replacing?

Accepted Answer

Signs that your springs may need replacement include: the door feels heavier than usual, the door doesn't open smoothly or evenly, you hear loud banging or popping sounds, visible gaps in the spring coils, the door opens only a few inches then stops, or the springs are visibly rusty or worn. Never attempt to replace springs yourself – they're under extreme tension and can cause serious injury.
