Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a garage door?
Repair almost always wins unless the door is 20+ years old, severely damaged, or you want to upgrade for curb appeal. We'll give you an honest recommendation either way.
Do you charge for estimates?
No — all estimates are completely free with no obligation. We give you the price before any work begins.
Why do prices vary so much between companies?
Quality of parts varies dramatically. Cheap springs last 1-2 years. We use commercial-grade springs rated for 25,000 cycles. Always ask what's included before agreeing to any quote.
