Garage Door Repair And Installation
(866) 985-8680
Stop for a moment and think about the answer to this question – how old is your current garage door? Did it come with your house? Or have you upgraded it since you moved in? Most people answer those questions with either an “I’m not sure” or “it’s pretty old.” Garage doors are the one part of the home that most people tend to take for granted. They assume that there’s nothing they can do about them. The doors just work and that’s it.
However, that’s not “it.” Your garage door plays a crucial role in keeping your home safe and secure if you have an attached garage, or at the very least makes your yard and garage look nice, if it’s detached. You need to think of it as though it’s a major entry point of your house – one that you can upgrade – because it actually is!
The Problem with Old Garage Doors
Depending on how old your house is, your garage door might be extremely heavy. In the past, these doors were made out of wood, which weighs a lot and puts a lot of strain on your garage door opener and springs. If you’ve had a garage door opener go out on you or broken spring forcing you to pull the door open manually, then you know exactly what we mean!
Did you know new garage doors are made of lighter materials that are just as strong and sturdy? Some models are reinforced, so they can withstand a hurricane or other high velocity windstorms, while others are designed to prevent break-ins. Either way, they are still lighter, which places much less strain on your garage door opener.
Signs That You Need a New Garage Door Opener
There are several signs that it’s “go time” for that garage door upgrade. Things to look for include:
- You’ve gone through quite a few garage door opening devices in recent years.
- You can’t remember the last time you upgraded your garage door.
- There’s clear damage to the door and the frame, including cracking and pitting.
- You’ve recently upgraded the rest of the outside of your home.
- You are simply looking for a fresh, new look.
While all of these are valid reasons, it simply comes down to deciding to do what’s best for your family and your home, and that involves choosing a garage door that fits your current aesthetics – and one that can stand up to hurricane-strength winds.

Did You Know?
Your garage door is more than just a portal to your garage. It can keep your home and its contents safe, especially when your garage is attached to your house. Should a hurricane come through, an old, standard model garage door may give way under the high winds, making it more likely that you’ll lose the roof of your garage, your home, and all of its contents. For this reason alone, you need to consider having a new, hurricane proof garage door installed.
