What is included in a new garage door installation?
A garage door installation begins by evaluating the garage opening, existing tracks and hardware, available headroom and the specifications of the new door. Depending on the project, installation can include the new door sections, tracks, rollers, hinges, counterbalance system and related hardware. A compatible garage door opener can also be installed when required.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Garage Door?
Not every damaged garage door needs complete replacement. A repair may make sense when the door is structurally sound and the problem involves individual hardware, springs, cables, rollers, tracks or an opener.
Replacement becomes more worth considering when the door has extensive structural deterioration, multiple damaged sections, repeated problems, poor fit or when you want to change the appearance, insulation or configuration of the garage door.
Replacement may make sense when:
