5 Things You Should Know About Overhead Doors

Having a new garage door installed is a big decision! With so many options, it can be difficult to know where to begin. From choosing a garage door color to the remote control and even down to replacement parts, here are a few FAQ’s that we think will help you out.

What are the options for garage door colors?

Garage doors come in a multitude of standard colors plus a variety of wood stains and colors. If the colors available don’t suit you, doors can be powder coated to the exact color you want!

Should I get an insulated garage door?

Insulation offers stability. There are two types of insulation available, polyurethane and polystyrene, and we recommend at least a polystyrene insulated door. However, if you’d prefer to go without, uninsulated doors are available too!

Are replacement parts available?

Yes! For most doors, replacement parts and sections are available. Garage door key pads are an additional option when purchasing a door or opener.

What do I do if I lose my garage door opener?

You’re not the only one! And the solution, thankfully, is simple. Just purchase a new remote control and we’d be happy to come to your home and program it for you.

My door keeps stopping and reversing when I press the remote. What’s wrong?

Typically, the problem is with the beam of the photo eyes (the sensor that makes sure nothing is in the way of the closing door). There might be a shovel or broom in the way or the eyes have been knocked out of alignment. Test this out by pressing and holding down the wall button. If the door goes down, then you’ll know that’s the problem. If it’s still not working, give us a call and we can help you troubleshoot.
