Why Hire A Professional To Install A Garage Door?

Garage door installation is not something one thinks about until you realize you need a new garage door. The do-it-yourself (DIY) videos online make it look easy, so you decide to install the door yourself and purchase a new one that is delivered to your home. Once delivered, the door leans against a wall, and you realize you cannot do the work even with the assistance of your neighbor’s teenage son. 

The doors are bulky, you don’t understand the electronics of the new door, and you need to attend the kids’ sports game in the afternoon. Not to mention that installing springs can be lethal if proper care isn’t taken during installation. Now is the time to contact a professional service provider like Tri-Lakes Garage Doors. It would have been better had you contacted us from the start, but we understand. The experience is not new to us. 

Why should you hire a garage door professional from the beginning?    

Professionals Do A Safety Test On Your Garage Door 

Safety should always be the first consideration when choosing a professional for garage door installation. Garage doors are bulky and can be heavy when they are made from steel or wood. As professionals we have the knowledge and tools to move the doors safely. With a new-build house, we normally measure the structure so you can order the correctly-sized door, a time-saving measure. Once the new garage door is installed, we do a safety test to ensure the new springs, rollers, cables, and electronics work safely and efficiently.  

They Will Help You With Custom Garage Openings   

Does the architectural style of your house include windows set in arches and the feature pulls through to the garage door opening? A standard door will not fit, and you have to get custom doors made. At Tri-Lakes Garage Doors, we know just how to help, so we will come to your property to discuss your requirements, enquire about the garage door budget, and take the correct measurements for the doors you require. A professional will use their experience to guide customers, whether they want a custom garage door for a barn or a bespoke RV garage. 

You'll Receive A Warranty Or Guarantee Of Professionalism   

Where did you buy your new garage door? Did you purchase a standard door or have a custom one made? Bulk-manufactured garage doors carry a warranty that is only enforceable when the door is installed by a professional, reputable company. If you have a custom garage door made, the manufacturer will generally install the door themselves and guarantee both the door and installation work. It is best to use professionals for efficient garage door installation to maintain the warranty coverage. 

You Will Receive Efficient Garage Door Installation   

You save time and money when you use a professional company to do the garage door installation. Because they know how to install a garage door and have the necessary tools and experience, the process goes much faster than if you had to struggle with a DIY job. Professionals also have a good relationship with manufacturers and understand their process, so can get replacement parts much quicker than a member of the public. Another good reason to hire a professional to install a garage door is they will immediately notice flaws in parts, replacing it before your family’s safety is compromised.
