• I am thinking of installing a wooden garage door. Any thoughts?

  Wooden garage doors look very elegant, aside from being sturdy and strong. If the style of your home is contemporary, a wooden door is perfect. Although keep in mind that it may need more upkeep than other types of door. You have to refinish and repaint it once in a while to preserve its quality. Its prices may also vary depending on the type of wood used.

• When I get a new door installed, will the old door track function properly?

  Not anymore. The garage door track comes with the whole mechanism and your old one will not be compatible with the new mechanism, so be sure to have it removed as well. Certain types and brands of doors have particular tracks that function only when combined with its own system.

• Why does my garage door reverse when I try to close it?

  The probable cause to this is that something is blocking the door’s path. Garage door openers manufactured after 1993 are equipped with automatic reverse feature for security. Check for any obstruction on the door path and clear them off. This should solve the issue.

• How often should I have my garage door opener serviced?

  Your overhead garage door is among the most used point of entry into the house. This means that the opener has to be at work more than once in a day. It would be wise to conduct maintenance once every three months and professional service at least twice in a year.
