How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

Signs of a broken spring include: the door won't open or is very heavy to lift manually, you heard a loud bang when the door was last operated, there's a visible gap in the torsion spring, or the door opens unevenly. Never attempt to operate a door with a broken spring.

Can I replace garage door springs myself?

We strongly advise against DIY spring replacement. Garage door springs are under extreme tension (equivalent to several hundred pounds of force) and can cause serious injury or death if not handled properly. Always hire a professional for spring work.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard garage door springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close). For a door used 4 times daily, that's about 7 years. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000-50,000 cycles are available for longer lifespan.

How long does new garage door installation take?

Most residential garage door installations are completed in 4-6 hours, including removal of the old door. We'll have your new door fully operational the same day. Commercial or custom installations may require additional time.

What type of garage door is best for my home?

The best door depends on your climate, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Insulated steel doors offer the best value for most homeowners in the Bay Area. Wood and wood-look doors provide classic appeal, while aluminum doors suit modern homes. We offer free consultations to help you choose.

Should I upgrade to a smart garage door opener?

Smart openers offer many benefits including smartphone control from anywhere, activity alerts when the door is opened, voice assistant integration, and built-in cameras on some models. They're especially valuable for monitoring access and never wondering if you left the garage open.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, we provide free estimates for all garage door services. For most repairs, we can give you an accurate quote over the phone. For installations or complex projects, we offer free in-home consultations to assess your needs and provide detailed pricing.

What warranty do you offer?

We offer a 90-day warranty on all repairs covering parts and labor. New installations come with manufacturer warranties (typically 1-15 years depending on the product) plus our own labor warranty. Ask about our extended warranty options for additional peace of mind.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), checks, and cash. Financing options are available for larger projects like new door installations. Ask about our current promotions.
