Expert Residential Garage Door Services In Southern California

Residential Garage Door Services FAQ

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

  For optimal performance and safety, we recommend having your residential garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Annual maintenance helps catch potential issues early, extends the lifespan of your door and opener, and ensures critical safety features like auto-reverse are functioning correctly. This is especially important in Southern California, where temperature fluctuations and coastal air can accelerate wear and tear.

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

  A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 3 to 6 hours to complete. This timeframe can vary based on whether we are removing an old door, installing a new garage door opener at the same time, or if any custom fitting or framing is required. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption and will give you a more precise time estimate before they begin.

• What are the signs that my garage door needs to be repaired?

  You should call a professional for garage door repair if you notice any of the following signs:

  •Strange Noises: Grinding, scraping, or squealing sounds during operation.

  •Slow Response Time: The door hesitates or is slow to open and close.

  •Door is Off-Balance: The door looks uneven or sags when opening or closing.

  •Broken or Frayed Cables: Visible damage to the cables that lift the door.

  •The Door Won’t Open or Close: The door is completely unresponsive or only moves a few inches.

• What is the average lifespan of a residential garage door?

  A well-maintained residential garage door can last 15 to 30 years. The lifespan depends on the quality of the material, the local climate (exposure to salt air in coastal Southern California can be a factor), and how frequently it is used. Regular maintenance, such as lubricating moving parts and checking the balance, can significantly extend the life of your garage door.
