What Garage Door Installation Involves
Installing a garage door is more than just hanging a door in an opening. A correct installation ensures the door is balanced, the hardware is properly set, and the opener is configured to work safely and reliably. Here is what to expect when you work with us:
- Discussion of the right door type and size for your opening
- Removal of the old door and hardware where applicable
- Installation of the new door panels and track system
- Spring installation and adjustment
- Opener installation and configuration where included
- Balance test and final operational check
- Walkthrough of how to operate and maintain the new door
Types of Garage Doors We Install
We install a range of residential garage doors to suit different homes, budgets, and preferences. Here are the main types we work with:
Steel Doors
The most common residential garage door. Steel doors are durable, low-maintenance, and available in a range of styles and finishes. They hold up well to Texas weather and everyday use.
Carriage-Style Doors
Designed to resemble the swing-out doors of old carriage houses, carriage-style doors give homes a distinctive look while operating as a standard sectional door. They work especially well on craftsman and traditional-style homes.
Raised-Panel Doors
A clean, classic residential look. Raised-panel doors are versatile and suit a wide range of home styles. They are available in steel and other materials.
Single and Double-Car Doors
We install both single-car and double-car doors. Getting the right size for your opening is important, and we verify measurements before ordering or installing anything.
Why Proper Installation Matters
A garage door that is installed incorrectly will show it. Common problems from a poor installation include:
- Uneven gaps around the door due to incorrect sizing or fitting
- Doors that bind or stick because the tracks are not correctly aligned
- Noise from components that were not properly secured
- Premature spring or cable failure from incorrect tension settings
- Opener issues caused by a door that is not properly balanced
Getting the installation right the first time avoids these problems and gives you a door that operates smoothly and lasts as long as it should.
Garage Door Installation Questions
How long does a garage door installation take?
Most residential garage door installations are completed in a single day. A double-car door with a new opener typically takes longer than a straightforward single-car installation. We can give you a better time estimate once we know the specifics of your job.
Do you install the opener as well as the door?
Yes, we can install a new opener as part of the door installation. If you already have a compatible opener you want to keep, we can reinstall that instead.
What size garage door do I need?
Standard residential single-car openings are typically 8 or 9 feet wide, and double-car openings are usually 16 feet wide. Height is typically 7 or 8 feet. We measure your opening before the installation to confirm the correct door size.
Do you take away the old door?
When replacing an existing door, yes. We remove and take away the old door and hardware as part of the installation process.
Can you install a garage door on a new build?
Yes. We handle installations on new construction as well as existing homes. The process is slightly different on a new build since there is no existing door to remove, but the installation work is the same.
How do I choose the right garage door style?
The right door depends on your home's architecture, your budget, and what you prioritize in terms of durability, insulation, and appearance. We can walk you through the options and help you make a decision that makes sense for your home. Contact us to start the conversation.
