What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Garage door sensor problems typically stem from several common causes. Misalignment is the most frequent issue—sensors can shift due to vibration, accidental bumps, or settling of the garage structure. Dirty lenses from dust, cobwebs, or pollen can block the infrared beam. Wiring problems including loose connections, corrosion, or damaged wires affect signal transmission. Sun interference occurs when direct sunlight hits the sensor lens, creating false signals. Moisture damage from condensation or water exposure can cause internal component failure. Finally, age-related wear eventually affects all electronic components. Regular maintenance helps prevent most sensor issues before they cause problems.

What brands of garage doors do you install?

We install and service all major garage door brands including Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI Overhead Doors, Raynor, and more.

Our technicians are certified to install and repair all major brands, ensuring expert service regardless of your choice.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional garage door maintenance at least once per year—ideally in spring after the harsh winter months. However, if you use your garage door frequently (more than 4 times daily), consider semi-annual service. Annual maintenance includes lubrication, safety testing, spring tension adjustment, hardware tightening, and inspection of all components. Regular service prevents unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your door by 5-10 years, and ensures safe operation for your family.

What is included in your warranty?

Our 5-Year Warranty on All Work covers parts and labor on all work we perform. This includes repairs, replacements, and new installations. If any component we repair or install fails during the warranty period, we'll fix it at no additional cost. New door installations include manufacturer warranties that may extend beyond our service warranty. We stand behind our work because we're confident in the quality of our service and the products we install.

Do you provide emergency garage door service?

Our emergency technicians carry a full inventory of common parts and can resolve most emergencies in a single visit. Call (860) 743-1087 for immediate assistance—we never charge extra for emergency calls.

Can you install a new opener on my existing door?

Yes, in most cases we can install a new opener on your existing garage door. Modern openers offer significant advantages over older models including smartphone control and WiFi connectivity, quieter belt-drive operation, battery backup for power outages, enhanced security features, and integration with smart home systems. During installation, we'll also inspect your existing door to ensure it's compatible and in good working condition. If any issues are found, we'll discuss options before proceeding.

How do I know if my springs need replacement?

Several signs indicate your garage door springs may need replacement: the door feels unusually heavy when lifting manually, the door doesn't stay open when released halfway, you notice visible gaps in the spring coils, the door opens unevenly or crooked, you hear loud banging noises (a spring may have already broken), or the opener strains to lift the door. IMPORTANT: Never attempt to replace garage door springs yourself. These components are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. Call a professional for spring inspection and replacement.
