| Garage Doors are very important
piece of your home. Proper
installation and repairs are very
important to keep your door running
properly, looking good, and it saves you
money. Sometimes the quick easy
fix is not the best idea, it sounds good
at first but in the long run it hurts
worse. |

 Having
a company that just puts garage doors in
and doesn't come prepared gets you a
very unprofessional job. This
garage door is a classic install by a
company that just slaps garage doors in.
Don't let this happen to you!
When it is time for you to
replace or upgrade your garage door
someone from the garage door company that is going
to install your new garage door should
come to your home measure the size of
the opening, check the clearances.
You should also make sure that we
are fixing your concerns, and make sure
that you are buying what you want.
Don't let some salesman pressure
you into something you don't want!
With this Garage door in the
picture, the installer that put this
door in did not use the proper track.
This caused the top section not to close
all the way. With the top section
not closing when the garage door opener
would close the garage door, the top
section had unusual pressure against it
and caused the section to fail.
The continues usage of the garage door
with a damage top section damaged the
entire door. |
 Having
the garage door properly installed is
very important. If the original
install company would have used the
proper track, this garage door would not
have needed to be replaced.
Spending an extra $100.00 up front would
have saved this customer $1000.00.
The proper installation looks so much
better too!! |

 People
have very busy lives. Running late
always in a hurry.
It takes about 8 to 10 seconds
for a garage door to open. You
should always watch your garage door and
make sure that it opens all the way
before you start to back out.
Before you drive away from your home you
should also watch your garage door
close. Garage doors can get out of
adjustment, a sensor maybe block, or the
door may close on something. This
also will help you to make sure that
your home is sucure.
Double Checking that your garage door is
open and closed is only 20 seconds of
your day and is not going to make you
any earlier or later than you already
are. |

 Fixing
your garage door the right way!
Garage doors can have several
different problems during there life.
A section failure is very common.
Trying to repair a steel section is an
improper repair. By adding some
added reinforcement to the damaged areas

By trying trying to fix damage like this
puts add stress on the garage door and
causes more problems.
The proper repair would have been to
replace the top section of this garage
door right away. By doing so the
damage to the top section would not have
damaged to other sections.
Because they tried to reinforce this
section instead of replace it, this door
had to be replace. The damage from
the top section continued down the door
until all of the sections were damage
and the garage door would not work any
more.
The original repair would have been
about $200.00 instead it cost them
$1000.00.
It may hurt to fix the problem
right away, but it worth it in the end. |
