Why Professional Installation Matters

While DIY might seem tempting, professional installation is crucial for several reasons:

• Ensures proper balance and alignment for optimal performance
• Guarantees correct installation of complex spring systems
• Provides warranty protection on both parts and labor
• Ensures compliance with local building codes and regulations

According to the International Door Association, professionally installed garage doors last 15-30 years, compared to 5-10 years for DIY installations.

Types of Garage Doors We Install

We offer a wide range of garage door types to suit every home and preference:

Sectional Doors

Sectional doors are the most common and versatile option for residential garages. These doors are made up of panel sections connected with hinges. As the door opens and closes, wheels at the edge of each panel roll inside a vertical track on each side of the door opening. This design allows the door to open straight up and parallel to the garage ceiling, making them ideal for most garage layouts.

Roll-Up Doors

Roll-up garage doors, also known as coiling doors, are ideal for homes with limited headroom or those seeking a more industrial look. These doors consist of narrow steel slat sections that roll around a drum above the door opening. As the door opens, it coils into a compact roll, taking up minimal space inside the garage. Roll-up doors are extremely durable, offer excellent security, and are low-maintenance.

Side-Hinged Doors

Side-hinged garage doors offer a traditional, carriage house look with modern convenience. These doors swing open and closed from a hinged frame on either side of the opening, much like a giant set of French doors for your garage. Side-hinged doors are an excellent choice for homeowners looking to make a statement with their garage door or those who frequently need walk-through access without opening the entire door.

Slide to the Side Doors

Slide-to-the-side garage doors are an innovative solution for garages with unique layouts or low ceiling heights. Instead of opening vertically, these doors slide horizontally along a track, parallel to the garage wall. This design is particularly useful in garages with vaulted ceilings or where overhead storage might interfere with a traditional overhead door. 

Custom Doors

For homeowners seeking a truly unique garage door, we offer custom design options. Custom garage doors can be tailored to fit any size or shape opening and can be crafted from a wide range of materials, including exotic woods, high-end metals, or even glass. These doors can be designed to complement any architectural style, from ultra-modern to historically accurate reproductions.

Smart Garage Door Options

Embrace the future with smart garage door features:

• Wi-Fi enabled openers for remote access
• Smartphone integration for monitoring and control
• Battery backup systems for power outage protection
• Enhanced security with rolling code technology

Energy Efficiency and Insulation

A new garage door can significantly impact your home’s energy efficiency:

• R-value ratings up to R-18 for maximum insulation
• Weatherstripping to prevent air leaks
• Thermal breaks to reduce heat transfer
• Low-E glass options for windows to reflect radiant heat

Studies show that an insulated garage door can reduce energy loss through the garage by up to 71%, according to the Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association.
