In our experience, a garage door installation typically takes four to six hours. However, this timeframe can vary depending on the size and type of door, the condition of the existing garage door system, and the weather conditions. If you have more questions about garage doors, call our team at DoorMaster Garage Door Service today!

We recommend scheduling a garage door service appointment twice a year to ensure your door performs optimally.

Our garage doors include the following safety features:

• Photo eyes: Photo eyes are sensors that are mounted on either side of the garage door opening about 6 inches above the ground. They create an invisible beam of light that crosses the opening. If anything breaks the beam, the garage door will stop closing and reverse direction. This helps to prevent the door from closing on people, pets, or objects.
• Auto-reverse: Auto-reverse is a feature that causes the garage door to reverse direction if it encounters resistance while closing. This helps to prevent the door from trapping people, pets, or objects underneath it.
• Pinch-resistant panels and hinges: Pinch-resistant panels and hinges are designed to prevent fingers and hands from getting caught between the garage door panels or between the panels and the hinges. This is especially important for children and pets.
• Mechanical release: A mechanical release is a lever that allows the garage door to be opened manually even if the power is out or the garage door opener is not working. This is important for safety in case of an emergency.

Garage doors are measured by the width of the door followed by the height. According to our team, your standard two-car garage door would be 16' x 7', and a single-car garage door would measure 9' x 7' or 8' x 7'.

An insulated garage door has styrofoam or some other insulation attached to the back of the panel. A non-insulated door is metal only and is called hollow. If you need garage door service, call our team today!

Our team suggests that you should have your door lubed and adjusted every year to keep the door running smoothly and safely. We can help you with overhead door repair or maintenance!

The top two things that cause loud garage doors are the side rollers and the lubrication of the door. We recommend your garage door be lubed yearly, and we have nylon rollers that can be installed to greatly reduce friction and noise. We provide reliable assistance with garage doors and garage door openers throughout the area!

If your garage door is not functioning correctly, the door is a potential hazard. Do not try to fix it on your own; instead, contact a professionally trained garage door service provider.

Another reason to replace a garage door is to enhance your home’s curb appeal. According to the 2010 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, garage door replacement is the number two remodeling project in regard to return on investment. The report states that replacing your garage door will return 84% of the cost at the time of home sale.

Lastly, your current garage door may be fading, sagging, and just in need of a replacement. If you have a wood garage door that needs re-painting, replacing it with a new pre-painted steel garage door may be a better value. However, painting a garage door adds significant weight to a door, which may affect the spring and the performance of the garage door and opener.

Each homeowner has needs for a new garage door that are unique based on the desired styling, level of care and maintenance required, energy efficiency, and the location of the garage in one's home. Steps to determine which garage door best suits you are:

• Choose the material that best suits your desired level of care and maintenance. DoorMaster Garage Door Service offers different styles made from steel, wood composite, wood, and aluminum.
• Choose the door design that is compatible and best complements your home, including window, color, and decorative hardware options.
• Determine the levels of energy efficiency and noise reduction that best suit your needs depending on if you have a room above or adjacent to your garage or have children that play in front of the garage. Most garage doors are available with insulation or no insulation options.
