FAQS

garage door opening represents a large opening in your home’s thermal barrier. Insulated doors will help to reduce the amount of outside temperatures that enters your garage, thus reducing the amount of energy required to cool or heat your home, which in turn leads to significant cost savings. Insulated doors also reduce noise from the exterior of your home.

Most garage doors do not tend to require ongoing or repeated maintenance. However, there are a few things you can do to keep your garage door operating efficiently. 

Here are some steps you can take towards maintenance for your garage door. They are:

  • Periodically lubricate your garage or overhead door track. Call us to determine the best methods for lubricating your specific door.
