Question 2

How long does it take to install a new garage door?

Accepted Answer

A standard single garage door installation typically takes 3-4 hours. Double doors or doors with custom features may take 4-6 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and hardware, setting up the opener, and testing all safety features. We pride ourselves on efficient, professional installation while never cutting corners on quality or safety. Most installations are completed in a single visit, and we always clean up after ourselves, leaving your garage ready to use.

Question 3

What should I do if my garage door won't open or close?

Accepted Answer

First, check the basics: ensure the opener is plugged in, the remote has fresh batteries, and nothing is blocking the photo-eye sensors. Try the wall-mounted button to rule out remote issues. If the door still won't work, check if the emergency release cord has been pulled (door would move freely by hand). Look for visible obstructions in the tracks. If the door opens but won't close, the sensors may be misaligned or blocked—look for blinking indicator lights on the sensor units. If none of these solutions work, or if you hear unusual sounds or see visible damage, call us for same-day service at (925) 441-7271. Never try to force a stuck door or repair springs yourself.

Question 6

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional garage door maintenance at least once per year. During a maintenance visit, we lubricate all moving parts, tighten hardware, test safety features, check spring tension, inspect cables and rollers, and adjust the door balance. Regular maintenance extends the life of your garage door, prevents unexpected breakdowns, ensures safe operation, and can identify small issues before they become expensive repairs. Many of our customers schedule annual tune-ups in the spring.

Question 8

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We stand behind all our work with comprehensive warranties. Labor is typically warrantied for 1 year. Parts warranties vary by manufacturer but generally range from 1-5 years for most components, with springs often warranted for up to 25,000 cycles. New garage door installations come with manufacturer warranties on the door itself, often 10+ years. We'll explain all warranty details before any work begins so you know exactly what's covered.
