Question 1

How quickly can you fix my broken springs?

Accepted Answer

We understand that a broken spring can leave you stranded. Our technicians carry the most common spring sizes on their trucks, allowing us to complete most spring repairs on the first visit. With our 2-hour response guarantee, we can typically have your door operational again within 2-4 hours of your call. For emergency situations, we offer 24/7 service with no additional after-hours fees.

Question 2

What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Garage door springs are under constant tension and eventually wear out from regular use. Most springs are rated for 10,000-15,000 cycles (one cycle = opening and closing the door once). Factors that accelerate wear include extreme temperature changes, lack of maintenance, rust, and improper spring sizing. Cold Connecticut winters can especially stress springs. Regular lubrication and annual maintenance can extend spring life by 2-3 years.

Question 3

Do you offer financing for new modern door installations?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer flexible financing options to make your dream garage door affordable. We partner with several financing providers offering 0% APR for qualified buyers on terms up to 18 months. For larger projects, we offer extended payment plans up to 60 months. Our team can help you explore options during your free estimate. We believe everyone deserves a beautiful, functional garage door without breaking the bank.

Question 4

What brands of garage doors do you install?

Accepted Answer

We can also source specialty doors from boutique manufacturers for unique custom projects. Our technicians are factory-trained on all major opener brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and Craftsman.

Question 5

How long does a garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard single garage door installation typically takes 3-4 hours, while a double door installation takes 4-6 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door, setting up the opener, and programming remotes. Custom doors or doors with special features may take longer. We always aim to complete the installation in one visit.

Question 6

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We stand behind our work with a comprehensive 3-year warranty on all labor. This covers any installation or repair work performed by our technicians. Additionally, the products we install come with their own manufacturer warranties, which can range from 1 year to lifetime depending on the product. We'll explain all warranty coverage during your service appointment.

Question 7

Why is my garage door making loud noises?

Accepted Answer

Loud garage door noises usually indicate a maintenance issue. Common causes include dry rollers needing lubrication, loose hardware, worn springs, or an unbalanced door. Grinding noises often point to track issues, while popping sounds may indicate spring problems. We recommend scheduling a maintenance inspection if you notice unusual sounds—catching issues early prevents costly repairs later.

Question 8

Can you add insulation to my existing garage door?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer insulation retrofit services for existing garage doors. We can install polystyrene or polyurethane insulation panels that fit into your door's existing sections. This improves energy efficiency, reduces noise, and adds structural rigidity. However, for significantly improved R-values, we often recommend upgrading to a factory-insulated door, which provides better sealing and higher insulation values.
