Question 1

How quickly can you fix my track misalignment?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, we can fix track misalignment the same day you call. Track misalignment is one of our most common garage door repairs, and our technicians carry all the necessary tools and parts. For straightforward misalignments, the repair typically takes 30-60 minutes. More severe cases involving bent tracks may take 1-2 hours. Emergency situations can be addressed within our 2-hour response window. We'll diagnose the issue on-site and provide you with an upfront quote before beginning any work.

Question 2

What causes track misalignment in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Track misalignment can occur for several reasons: impact damage (car backing into the door), worn or loose mounting brackets, settling of the garage structure over time, improper installation, debris buildup in the tracks, or roller wear. Weather changes can also contribute as metal expands and contracts. Regular maintenance can help prevent misalignment, but when it occurs, it's important to address it promptly. Misaligned tracks put extra stress on the opener motor and can cause premature wear on other components.

Question 4

How long does a garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard single garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours, while a double door may take 5-7 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and tracks, setting up the opener, programming remotes, and safety testing. We always complete installations in one visit – you'll never be left with a partially installed door. Custom installations or commercial doors may require additional time, which we'll discuss during your consultation.

Question 5

What is included in your maintenance service?

Accepted Answer

Our comprehensive 25-point maintenance service includes: visual inspection of all components, lubrication of all moving parts (springs, rollers, hinges, tracks), spring tension adjustment, safety sensor alignment and testing, opener chain/belt tension check, weather seal inspection, track alignment verification, hardware tightening, door balance testing, and a written condition report with recommendations. Regular maintenance extends your door's lifespan and helps prevent costly emergency repairs.

Question 6

Do you provide emergency service on weekends and holidays?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency garage door service every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. Our emergency response guarantee of 2 hours applies at all times across all our service areas including Southern Pines, Aberdeen, and Carthage. Unlike some competitors, we do not charge overtime rates for evening, weekend, or holiday service calls. Call (910) 356-9786 anytime.

Question 7

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional maintenance at least once per year for residential garage doors. However, if your door gets heavy use (more than 4 cycles per day), twice-yearly service is ideal. Between professional visits, homeowners should monthly: visually inspect springs and cables for wear, listen for unusual sounds, test the safety reversal system, and keep tracks free of debris. Regular maintenance can extend your door's lifespan by 5-10 years.

Question 8

What brands of garage doors do you install?

Accepted Answer

We are authorized dealers for major brands including Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and Raynor. We also work with specialty manufacturers for custom applications. Our team can help you select the right door based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, insulation needs, and durability requirements. All installations come with our 5-year warranty on labor in addition to manufacturer warranties.

Question 9

Can you match my home's architectural style?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We specialize in helping homeowners find doors that complement their home's architecture. Whether you have a craftsman bungalow, colonial, modern, or French country home, we offer doors in traditional, carriage house, contemporary, and custom styles. We can match colors, window designs, and hardware to create a cohesive look. Our design consultation is included free with every installation estimate.

Question 10

What's your warranty coverage?

Accepted Answer

All our installations and repairs come with a comprehensive 5-year warranty on parts and labor. This covers any defects in workmanship and most part failures under normal use. Manufacturer warranties on doors and openers are additional – most range from 10 years to lifetime on certain components. If something fails within our warranty period, we'll repair or replace it at no additional cost. We stand behind our work completely.
