Installation FAQ's
What Type Of Garage Door Should I Buy?
There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a garage door; from classic solid wood doors to heavy-duty steel garage doors, there are endless options to choose from. One way to simplify the selection process is by going for a tried and tested brand. Amarr, for instance, has top-of-the-line garage doors and garage door openers for residential and commercial purposes.
Brands aside, here are some things to ask yourself before buying a garage door:
- What are the dimensions of the garage door that I need?
- What material do I want for my garage door?
- What door style will enhance my home’s curb appeal?
- Will this door design match my home’s architecture?
- Will the color suit my home’s exterior?
- What garage door performance features am I looking for?
- How much am I willing to spend?

Do I Need Garage Door Insulation?
This boils down to budget and personal preference. Garage door insulation will have some effect on temperature, although it won’t be anything more drastic than a few degrees. It can also be useful for reducing noise, which is great news if you like to throw man-cave parties every now and then.
At Raise Up Garage Door Services, we’re transparent and straightforward with our clients. We want you to know what you’re paying for, what you can reasonably expect, and what alternatives you have. Sometimes, replacing old weather stripping around the door is enough to make your garage more comfortable. We’ll always give you our honest opinion on what insulation can and cannot do for your garage.
Is It Safe For Me To Repair My Own Garage Door?
Definitely not!
Garage door installation is one of the most difficult things to DIY. Imagine spending hours trying to screw the track, only to find that the vertical tracks or horizontal tracks aren’t properly aligned. Maybe you think you’ve done it, but you walk away and hear a clank just before you go. Lag screws keep popping out and you don’t know how to get them to stick.
And if your door has a torsion spring mechanism, then you should consider yourself lucky if you don’t end up in the hospital.
That’s why it’s best to leave the garage door installation to the professionals. Those heavy steel doors were never meant to be a weekend project.
How Long Will It Take To Get My New Garage Door?
If we have your preferred garage door in stock, you can typically get it the same day. If we have to order it, the average waiting time is around three weeks.
Can I Use My Existing Opener On A New Door?
Yes! Leave the installation to us and we’ll make sure that you can use the garage door opener that you already have. It’s our goal to minimize your costs and maximize your satisfaction.
