"I hired Knight?s Remodeling. The job was a rebuild of the bird boxing w/cosmetic upgrade to my wood workshop/carport-recreational building. Darryl came prior to doing the work to get measurements and assessment for materials needed to do the job. Darry & his son Matt came back a weeks later to start. Not only were they both very efficient, in working together, the job was completed in one day! Not only were very organized in they were doing, but very timely. My building looks wonderful & very much appreciated. Darryl showed his expertise, in well looking cosmetic finish! They cleaned everything up! Best of all & moreover, the price for the labor & materials was extremely reasonable! This is the reason I gave Knight?s Remodeling a 5-star rating!!! ?????????????"

"Alfred was wonderful! He repaired the sliding doors in my bedroom closet that 2 other handymen were not able to do. He also hauled a heavy piece of furniture downstairs for me and removed and replaced rubber step mats on my 5 garage stairs. Noted that I had bought the wrong materials for adhesive:) He knew what was best. Don't waste your time or money, hire Cranston to do the job efficiently, I'm so thankful I did! Thank you Cranston and Alfred!"

"This was my first experience hiring a contractor and Mr. Sturgess's was great to work with. He was able to meet with me outside of my work hours to go over my plans. His crew was on time, friendly, and answered any questions I had. Mr. Sturgess rates were very reasonable, and he and his team are very honest and easy to work. Since they have finished converting my carport to the screened sun room, I asked if they could go ahead and finish some other projects for me. I can't wait until all of my projects are done."

"We are thrilled with the work that Benjamin and his crew did at our new house. We had a wall taken down, an entertainment center built, part of a fence taken down, and part of a fence turned into a door. Benjamin’s quotes were reasonable, they completed all of the projects on time and were able to get the work done quickly so we could move in. We would highly recommend this company and will be using them in the future!"

"Chris was on time (actually early), professional and efficient. He explained what he was doing every step of the way. He did not try to upsell and in fact, he looked for ways to save me money and prolong the life of my system. The next time you need service on your garage door, forget the big names and go with a locally owned and operated business, Williamson Garage Doors. Highly recommended."

Garages questions, answered by experts

There are several reasons garage door cables can come off multiple times. The most common reason is that the springs have too much or too little tension and require adjusting. Other causes include track alignment issues that keep the door from operating correctly or smoothly. A damaged winding drum or obstructions in the cable's way can also cause it to come loose.

If your garage door seems to freeze every winter, you can try rubbing silicone spray or petroleum jelly around the edges and rollers of the garage door. However, it’s a good idea to avoid direct application of silicone sprays like WD40 to rubber edges, which could damage them over time. A garage door that frequently freezes shut could need a full replacement, especially if it’s showing signs of rust or other wear and tear.

Electric garage doors are secure when adequately installed and maintained. They often come equipped with safety features like rolling code technology that generates a new code each time you use the remote, making it harder for burglars to intercept and duplicate. However, their security depends on factors like the quality of the door and your diligence in safeguarding remote controls and access codes. Regular maintenance, strong passwords, and adding security enhancements can boost the security of electric garage doors, making them a reliable choice for many homeowners.

We recommend hiring a garage door professional to install a garage door opener for you. Garage door openers aren’t terribly complex, but setting them up properly, setting the lift and drop speed, and installing sensors that work correctly can take a few hours for a DIYer. The cost to install a garage door opener is around $400, and it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Garage professionals have the skills and equipment necessary to work with potentially dangerous garage door components, like springs.

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.
