What Do I Need to Know?
How much does a garage door cost?
Garage doors vary according to size, strength, level of customized design, insulation value, etc. Our sales staff is trained to provide you with the information you need to find the right door for your home.
Do you give free estimates?
We give free estimates for sales of doors and openers. Because service and repair work involves a site inspection by a qualified field technician, we do charge a minimum service fee to diagnose equipment problems.
What measurements do I need to know to order a new door?
While we will take final measurements to ensure accuracy, you will need to know the following opening measurements:
- Width of the opening from jamb to jamb.
- Height of the opening from the floor to the bottom of the header.
- Headroom from the top of the opening to the ceiling or first obstruction (often this means the existing door opener) or anything else in the way.
- Backroom from the inside of the opening back into the garage to the nearest obstruction, i.e. post or beam
What is headroom and what is the minimum for a sectional door?
Headroom is the distance from the top of your door to the lowest point of the ceiling or any obstruction such as a garage door opener rail, pipes, lighting, shelving or ductwork.
The amount that is needed depends on what type of spring system that your new door will have. Torsion springs require 12". These amounts are for door operation only. If you are installing a garage door opener, an additional 3" of headroom is required. Low headroom kits are available for tight installations. Other special track applications include vertical and high lift track, for use in situations where the ceiling is unusually high. Our sales staff will determine the exact dimensions of your garage to ensure a proper fit.
What is backroom?
The backroom is the distance from the garage door to the back wall of the garage. The door height plus 18" is required for proper door installation. Additional backroom is required for the installation of an automatic garage door opener. To calculate the backroom required, add 4" to the height of the door.
What is sideroom?
A measurement from each side of the door opening, outward to the nearest wall or obstruction within the garage.
Should I use a professional installer?
Garage doors are the single largest moving objects in your home and complex. Their installation is highly technical. Springs can be particularly dangerous and proper installation is critical to the performance of your door. A professional installer will save you time and guarantee that your door performs safely and effectively.
Why should I choose an insulated door?
Insulated doors help keep your garage more comfortable for you. This is especially important if you have an attached garage where any air in the garage can travel through the doorway to your living area. If you use your garage as a workshop, your comfort will be a top priority. If your garage is below another room in your home, air can travel through the ceiling of the garage into the floor of the room above. An insulated door will keep temperatures in the garage fairly stable to reduce the temperature fluctuation in the room. Finally, an insulated door is generally quieter and has a more attractive interior than an uninstalled door.
What do I need to do to prepare my garage for your technicians?
To install the doors and openers efficiently, our technicians need the space to be free of debris. Please have all vehicles out of the garage during installation.
