Garage Door Installation

We can break the bad news to all you do-it-yourself garage door installer wannabes with just one easy word to understand: DON'T! This is not a job for an amateur, it's a job for a professional installer. Oh, sure, any person can go online and investigate all the pros and cons of installing a garage door quickly and easily with just moderate skills and tools; you wish! The smart thing to do is contact a company and ignore what you read and the illustrations on your computer showing how it's done. Look, folks, nearly every garage door company that sells garage doors offers full service that includes delivery, the right garage door for your home, the right price, and removal of your old beat-up door that never goes up or down when you want it to.

Why You Need A Professional Garage Door Installer!

Here are some more reasons why it's important you use professional experts to install your new garage door.
* The standard double garage door is 7 feet high by 16 feet wide. A single garage door is usually 7 feet high by 8 or 9 feet wide.
* Why you need a new garage door? An older double garage door can weigh from 250 to 450 lbs. This weight coupled with hardware that hardly works anymore, makes your old door an accident waiting to happen. Actually, it's been proven that people enter and exit a garage door more than they do the front door.

Note: All that said, by now you should be convinced to hire a garage door company. So forget about making it a DIY project. Remember, garage doors are heavy, large, and mildly complicated to say the least. You can also buy a garage door in wood or fiberglass.
