These metal springs hold a lot of tension and can break bones easily if they are not replaced properly.

Request Annual Maintenance

Although we all like to think our garages will last forever, general wear and tear will eventually take hold at some point. Keeping up with general maintenance on your garage door can delay this, but eventually it may become unavoidable.


If the door is particularly old, replacing one panel might not look identical to the other panels from the original door. The same color or style may no longer be available, or the original color of the panels might be faded over time. This may require re-painting or re-staining the entire door so that the old and new panels match, a cost factor to note.
