Overhead Door Repair Requires Professional Contractors

A garage can tell a lot about a family. In fact, if you are selling your home you should probably realize that 70% of Americans think a garage’s organization reflects the owner. For many homeowners this means that if you want to improve the street appeal of your home you should start with the quality and look and sound of your squeaky garage door.
If your garage door frame is marked and damaged from your car hitting it when it backs out, it might be time to replace some of the trim and put on a fresh coat of paint. If your garage door itself is dented, damaged or too loud, you need to hire a qualified overhead door repair contractor.
Whether you are building a new home or replacing or updating a current garage door, the importance of door construction when buying new garage doors should be your first priority. For example, a single layer steel garage door will not be nearly as strong as insulated garage doors with double or triple layers of construction. Selecting an insulated garage door offers many benefits. In addition to keeping out the heat and cold, an insulated garage door is also more quiet. This is especially beneficial in the many homes that have a living area attached to or above the garage. If you are looking for a “green” garage door, some companies offer composite overhead garage doors that are made with 100% recycled wood fibers.
Overhead garage door repair should be done as soon as any damage is noted. If, for example, you notice that you have a split in either the inside or the outside of your garage door panel, it is best to repair if possible, or replace the garage door before you have more problems. The crack in the door can be an indicator that there is currently an uneven amount of stress and the entire garage door could separate from the connecting arm that attaches it to the opener. This, of course, can lead to a serious problem if the garage should fall or drop without notice.
If the overhead door repair you need is a spring replacement, it is important to replace both springs, even if only one is broken. The broken spring has already been placing unwanted tension on the second spring and it is just a matter of time before it too breaks.
The U.S. overhead garage door installation industry is worth approximately $5 billion. Part of the reason for the size of the industry is the fact that 53% of home buyers want a two car garage. About 20% of home buyers say that a two car garage is not enough, they want a three, or more, car garage. Professional garage door services can provide you with the best overhead door repair and installation for a variety of different types of garage doors.
