What the job involves

What garage door installation involves

Garage door installation is more than hanging a new panel set. The opening gets measured for width, height, headroom and side room, the old door, track and hardware come out, and the new door goes in with tracks, springs, cables, rollers and weather seal sized to match. Most homeowners come to us for a garage door replacement because the old door has worn out, was damaged by a vehicle, or no longer matches the house.

Springs are the part people underestimate. A sectional door can weigh well over a hundred pounds, and the torsion spring is wound to balance exactly that weight. A spring chosen for the wrong door weight makes the opener strain and wears out the door early, so we size the spring to the door we install, not to the door that was there before. If you are weighing a new opener at the same time, tell us, because the door and the opener are best matched together.

Your options

Door options we go over before you choose

Single-layer steel

The simplest steel door. Light, paneled and easy to repaint, a sensible fit for a detached garage that nobody heats or cools.

Insulated steel

Steel skins around a polyurethane or polystyrene core. It is quieter, stiffer against dents and better for an attached garage that shares a wall with the living space.

Steel gauge

Gauge is steel thickness, and a lower gauge number means thicker steel. Thicker skins resist dents from bikes, balls and the occasional bumper.

Panel style and color

Raised panel, flush or carriage house looks, in colors that suit brick, siding or stucco. We talk through what suits your street before you decide.

Springs and tracks

Torsion springs mounted over the door, or extension springs along the sides. We explain which your opening suits and whether the tracks can be reused.

Weather seal and trim

Bottom seal, jamb seal and top seal keep out drafts, leaves and water. Fresh seals on a new door make a visible difference in an older garage.

How it works

How a garage door installation goes

  1. 01

    You tell us about the door

    Describe the opening, the current door and what is bothering you. Size, material and whether it is attached to the house all help us plan.

  2. 02

    We come out and measure

    A uniformed technician checks the opening, the framing, the floor and the existing hardware, then goes over the door styles that fit.

  3. 03

    We explain the price before any work

    You get an upfront quote before any work begins, covering the door, hardware and removal of the old one, so you decide with the full picture.

  4. 04

    We install and test

    The old door comes out, the new one goes in, and we balance and test it by hand and with the opener before we leave. Repairs and installations are backed by a parts-and-labor warranty.

Questions

Questions about garage door installation in Newark

Can you replace a garage door without replacing the tracks?
Sometimes, but it is not the usual route. Tracks are sized to the door's height and weight, so a new door normally gets new tracks, springs and cables with it. If the old tracks are straight, undamaged and the right size for the new door, we can say so on the visit and tell you what it does to the price.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a garage door?
A single broken part is usually cheaper to repair, and a door with several damaged panels, a bent frame or worn-out hardware often is not. The price depends on the door size, type and the condition of the opening. We look at the door, give you an upfront quote, and show you where repair stops making sense.
What drives the cost of a new garage door?
Size, material, insulation, window panels, spring type and whether the old door has to be hauled away. A one-car steel door and a two-car insulated door are priced very differently, and we explain each line in words before any work begins.
How long does garage door installation take?
A standard single or double sectional door is usually finished in one visit. Custom sizes, damaged framing or a new opener fitted at the same time can add to that, and we say so when we quote.
Is the door safe to use while I wait for the new one?
If the door is stuck, off track or has a broken spring, leave it where it is and keep people and cars clear of it. A garage door under spring tension can hurt someone, so please do not try to force it up or down.
What should I have ready when I call?
The approximate width and height of the opening, whether the garage is attached to the house, and what the current door is made of. We take it from there on the visit.
Are your installations covered?
Yes. Repairs and installations are backed by a parts-and-labor warranty, and we are licensed and insured. We go through what the warranty covers when we quote.
