A Installing a garage door can be very dangerous; this is a complicated process that is why you need a trained technician to install the garage door. Also, per our general liability insurance we are unable to sell a door without the installation.
- Q - Can I replace the garage door springs myself?
A Never try to replace or fix any component on your garage door especially the garage door springs. Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause injury or death if you are inexperienced on installing garage doors.
- Q - Does my new garage door need to be insulated?
A This is an optional feature for you to consider. Insulation does help with keeping your garage door warmer in the cooler months and cooler in the summer months. It is also recommended to get an insulated door if your garage is insulated.
- Q - Why do I need a permit to replace a garage door?
A A permit is required when replacing a garage door to insure you get the required hurricane garage door and to ensure the door was installed the proper way.
- Q - Do you sell or install hurricane kits or bracing?
A We do not recommend buying a kit to brace your door. If you buy a brace, the door is not tested or rated. If any weight is added to the door, the springs need to be replaced. The existing track is not designed to hold the added weight.
- Q - Do you stock hurricane-rated garage doors?
A Hurricane doors are required by Florida building-code, so every door we sell is wind-rated.
