Garage Door FAQs and Garage Door Opener FAQs

People often have questions or concerns about their garage doors and related technology, such as openers. Some typical garage FAQs include:

When is it Time to Replace the Garage Door?

Regular use of your garage door can impact how it functions. While minor problems can call for a simple garage door repair, frequent or more serious issues may require a total replacement. If a homeowner experiences many problems with their garage door in a short time, a total replacement can be the most cost-effective option. Purchasing and installing a new garage door can also upgrade the value of your home.

You may need a garage door replacement if:

  • Your garage door no longer keeps harsh weather out
  • There is visible deterioration or severe damage
  • Door tracks become rusted or damaged

How Much Might It Cost to Install a Garage Door?

There are several factors that may affect the cost of garage door installation, such as materials and size. Doors made with glass or wood can cost more than traditional materials like aluminum, steel, and vinyl. For a quote, contact our showroom.

What Are the Best Garage Door Maintenance Practices?

Garage door maintenance is essential in keeping your garage up and running for many years. Homeowners can take certain steps at least once a month to prevent issues. This is especially true during winter, as snow, ice, and other debris can cause blockages and problems. For example, homeowners should consider:

  • Regularly washing their garage doors
  • Lubricating pulleys, rollers and hinges
  • Clearing debris around photo eye sensors
  • Checking rollers
  • Tightening screws and bolts

In addition, you should hire a professional to conduct regular garage door inspections and maintenance at least twice a year.

What Is Covered Under A Garage Door Warranty?

When choosing Aquarius Door Services for your garage installation, your door and its parts are covered for up to one year.

Can I Repair My Garage Door Spring Myself, or Should I Hire a Professional?

Because garage doors are typically weighted to aid in proper function, it is not recommended to fix your garage door spring on your own. The weighted nature of the door can put you at risk of injury. In addition, it can potentially cost more for proper replacements and repairs if your attempt negatively affects your garage door system. You should hire a professional to fix essential garage door parts, such as the opener, extension spring, or torsion springs.

If I Remove Garage Door Components, Can You Still Replace Them?

You should avoid removing garage door components at the risk of damaging your garage door system. While the DIY method can seem tempting in terms of saving costs, it can potentially become pricier in the long run if something goes wrong.

We recommend contacting Aquarius Door Services to complete any repairs. We can assist you in the repair and replacement process, giving you detailed information about pricing and recommendations.
