Several factors can cause your garage door to move slowly. The most common causes include: worn or damaged rollers that create friction, misaligned or bent tracks that impede smooth travel, springs losing tension over time, insufficient lubrication on moving parts, opener motor issues or worn gears, weather-related problems like cold temperatures thickening lubricant, and track obstructions from debris or rust. Regular maintenance can prevent most of these issues. Our 25-point inspection identifies problems early before they become major repairs. If your door is moving slowly, don't ignore it – small problems often worsen quickly.

Our 1-year warranty covers both parts and labor for any installation or repair work we perform. This includes all materials we supply, our workmanship and installation, any defects in replaced parts, and follow-up adjustments if needed. The warranty doesn't cover damage from misuse, acts of nature, or normal wear on existing components we didn't service. Many of the doors we install come with additional manufacturer warranties of 10-25 years. We stand behind our work because we're confident in our technicians' skills and the quality products we use.

We recommend professional maintenance at least once per year for most garage doors. However, if your door sees heavy use (more than 4-5 cycles per day), twice-yearly service is ideal. Between professional visits, homeowners should monthly: visually inspect springs, cables, and rollers for wear; listen for unusual sounds during operation; test the auto-reverse safety feature; and lubricate moving parts with silicone-based lubricant. Regular maintenance extends your door's lifespan, prevents costly emergency repairs, and keeps your family safe.

Torsion springs mount horizontally above the garage door opening and use torque to lift the door. They're more expensive but offer smoother operation, longer lifespan (15,000-20,000 cycles), and better balance. Extension springs mount on either side of the door and stretch to provide lifting force. They're more affordable but wear faster (10,000 cycles) and can be more dangerous if they break. Most modern installations use torsion springs. Our technicians can advise on the best option for your door and budget.

We strongly advise against DIY spring repairs. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if mishandled. A typical torsion spring holds enough force to lift a 400+ pound door. Professional technicians have specialized tools, training, and safety equipment for spring work. Attempting repairs without proper knowledge risks severe injury from spring snapback, damage to your door or property, voiding manufacturer warranties, and improper installation causing future problems. Please call a professional for any spring-related issues.

A standard single or double garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and tracks, setting up the opener, programming remotes, and testing all safety features. Factors that can extend installation time include custom doors with special features, structural modifications needed, adding insulation, new opener installation, and addressing existing frame or track issues. We always provide a time estimate during your free consultation so you can plan accordingly.
