What does a garage tune-up include?

• <div><p>During a garage door tune-up, a pro will check and adjust your door’s components, looking for any damage and loose cables, springs, or rollers. The pro will also lubricate moving parts, like the hinges and rollers, and likely tighten some screws and bolts. They’ll also adjust the door opener’s tension and alignment to make sure it’s level. Finally, they’ll wash the door to ensure it’s clean, and test the auto-reverse mechanism to make sure it’s working as it should.</p></div>

Do I have to have sensors on my garage door?

• <div><p>If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-open-garage-door-manually.htm">open your garage manually</a>, you don’t need sensors. If you have an automatic garage door opener, sensors are required by law. The <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/07/13/2018-14909/safety-standard-for-automatic-residential-garage-door-operators">federal law UL 325</a> mandates that all residential garage door openers in the U.S. must include sensors. Designed to prevent accidents and reduce the risk of entrapment, the sensors should be able to reverse the motion of the garage door within two seconds of detecting an obstruction. The sensors are there to keep you, your family, and your belongings safe from a door that might otherwise come down too hard or too fast. </p></div>

Q: Do I have to have sensors on my garage door?

• <div><p>If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-open-garage-door-manually.htm">open your garage manually</a>, you don&rsquo;t need sensors. If you have an automatic garage door opener, sensors are required by law.

Q: How long will a garage door last?

• <div><p>How long garage doors last depends on the type of doors you buy and how well you care for them. But most often, garage doors will last between 15 and 30 years, on average. You can maximize their life span by performing regular maintenance and inspections and repairing problems immediately. A more robust material, like triple-layer steel garage doors, may even last 25 to 30 years with proper care.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime a metal garage door before painting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually a good idea to use a metal primer before painting a metal garage door, and, even if you do, you&rsquo;ll need a paint that&rsquo;s specifically designed to coat metal for the best results. Metal primer helps create a good surface for the paint to stick to your metal garage door, and it will help prevent bubbling, chipping, and peeling after it dries. It&rsquo;s a bit more expensive to prime your door before painting, but it&rsquo;s usually worthwhile, as the paint will last longer.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best way to maintain a garage door?

• <div><p>The best way to maintain a garage door and avoid issues is to hire someone to do a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-my-garage-door-need-annual-tune.htm">garage door tune-up,</a> check the remote opener, and service the main system components, like the springs, chains, and track. Schedule maintenance service once every two years for $100 to $200. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-garage-door-maintenance.htm">DIY garage door maintenance,</a> like washing and waxing the door and applying lubricant to hinges and rollers regularly.</p></div>

They were hired to tear down our concrete garage, remove all blocks and level the area for parking spots for us. They knocked down the garage and left a mess. It's been over a year and they haven't returned 1 of our phone calls. Worse part, my husband has worked with them and this is the way...

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!

Colborns was great. They understood my cocern about not having a car for work, and they took care of it. Not too many garages would have been concerned and they probably would have charged more. Colborns was fair and courteous.

They did a very good job. They were on time, and finished the job in one day. I think their price was fair, because we got a really nice door, and it works really well. They were able to give us a discount, which was nice. They made us aware of the sale that was going on for the better door....

He is good on his word and you can trust his judgement. The window still does not go up and down but he repaired the mechanics to do so. I will secure the needed switch. It the weather is bad he will replace at no charge since I had no garage.

"Ervin arrived on time and took a good look at the project before giving us a price that couldn't be beaten, they arrived on time on the date they said they would, his employees were professional, courteous and even though they were replacing the roof we hardly knew they were here. The new roof looks absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They cleared up after themselves too, if I am in need of any services they provide Ervin will be the only person I call."
