Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Quietest Garage Door Opener?

If you want a quiet garage door opener, we recommend investing in a belt drive. These garage door openers operate on a rubber belt, meaning they produce fewer vibrations and less noise. We perform a lot of garage door opener installations with belt drive openers! To get an even quieter garage door system, you can also invest in an insulated garage door.

How Often Do Garage Door Openers Need to Be Replaced?

We recommend investing in a new garage door opener every 15-20 years. Because garage doors operate 2-4 times a day on average, your opener can develop wear and tear quickly. That’s why it’s important to invest in a quality new garage door opener and keep up with regular maintenance. 

What Is the Strongest Garage Door Opener?

If you have a heavy insulated, real wood, or glass garage door, you’re going to want to invest in a strong garage door opener. Our favorite options are chain drive and jackshaft garage door openers. Chain drive garage door openers operate on a metal chain to provide maximum lifting power. Jackshaft garage door openers are installed beside the garage door and attach directly to the springs to ensure strength and durability. 

Which Garage Door Opener Brands Do You Install?

We sell and install LiftMaster, Genie, and Linear garage door openers. Over the last 43 years in the industry, we’ve found these garage door opener brands to provide the best products.

Our FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What is the Life Expectancy of a Garage Door?

    The average life expectancy of a garage door is 15-30 years. To help extend this lifespan, we recommend scheduling annual garage door maintenance. This keeps your garage door parts running more smoothly, delaying the need for repairs or replacement. You can also wash and repaint your garage door exterior periodically to get the longest possible lifespan out of your garage door.

  • What Causes Garage Doors to Break?

    The two main causes of a broken garage door are lack of maintenance and accidents with vehicles. The most important garage door maintenance steps include lubricating the rollers, bearings, pulleys, and springs once a year and making proper adjustments to the counterbalance system to maintain the door’s balance. If an accident happens with your garage door, it’s important to call quickly for repairs. We offer same-day garage door service near Portage & Kalamazoo, MI!

  • How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?

    The average spring breaks after 7 to 12 years with typical usage, lasting 10-15,000 cycles, depending on the type of spring. A “cycle” is one full opening and closing of the door. If a garage door has two or more springs and one breaks, then you should have all the springs replaced to maintain proper balance. Be sure to check our Garage Door Spring Repair page for more information.

  • What Garage Door Maintenance Do You Recommend?

    Although you should always let a certified professional take care of major garage door repairs, there are some garage door maintenance steps you can take.

    – Lubricate your garage or overhead door track every six months using a silicone-based lubricant.
    – Clean the weather stripping with vinyl cleaner and lubricate it every few months.
    – Monitor your garage door operation, listening for unusual noises or movements that could indicate a problem.
    – If you have a painted door, periodically repaint the exterior to help protect it from weathering and update the look of your home.
