How do garage door sensors work?

• <div><p>Garage door sensors work by using infrared beams to detect objects in the door’s path. One sensor sends a beam while the other receives it. When the beam is broken—say, by your car or anything else—the sensors signal the door to stop or reverse. It’s all about safety and making sure nothing gets trapped under the door. If they’re misaligned, the beam doesn’t connect, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-does-garage-door-opener-work.htm">the garage door might stay open</a> or close regardless of obstructions. </p></div>

How much does a new garage door cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-garage-door-installation.htm">Garage door replacement costs</a> around <b>$1,200</b> on average, with prices ranging from <b>$250 to $4,500</b>, depending on a few factors. The size and material of your garage door are the most important cost factors to consider, as some materials—like wood composite—can easily cost two to three times what an aluminum garage door would total. Larger garage doors will also drive up your material and labor costs, especially if you’re also installing new hardware and garage door openers. It’s best to get a customized estimate from a local garage door installer for your project.</p></div>

Q: What's the best insulation for a garage?

• <div><p>Fiberglass is considered a favorite garage insulation choice due to its combination of affordability, ease of installation, and overall effectiveness. Fiberglass provides good thermal resistance, helping regulate garage temperatures and minimize heat transfer. Additionally, fiberglass is moisture-resistant, reducing the risk of mold or mildew formation. </p></div>

Q: Should a garage door be lighter or darker than the house?

• <div><p>The color you choose for your garage door is up to personal preference, but you can opt for several design options when choosing the color. Look for a complementary color to that of your home or choose a monochromatic look by selecting the same color as the rest of the exterior in a different shade.</p></div>

Q: How often should I lubricate my garage door?

• <div><p>You should lube your garage door components every three to six months depending on how frequently you open and close the door. Lubricant helps keep garage door components operating smoothly for longer; you can expect a much longer lifespan out of a garage door when you properly care for it, including frequent lubrication. Regular maintenance is much more affordable than the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-door-replacement-cost.htm">cost of replacing a garage door</a> prematurely. </p></div>

They came in examined my garage door and told me the best way they could fix it and quoted me a price. The repairmen were very curious and knowledgeable. I had them repair the door but I think they were too expensive. They said when I called them if they did the job they would take the 30...

I called in to ask for service. They had a technician out early the next morning. He didn’t have the part at the time but returned when he did. The office staff and technician were very helpful and professional. I’ll certainly be using them for all future garage door needs.

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!

It went very well. They masked off the garage walls and concrete sidewalks to prevent over-spray. They put up a barrier to keep vehicles off the driveway. This is a family operated business and I have dealt with them in the past. They are very professional and extremely honest to deal with. ...
