How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, inspecting cables and hardware, testing safety features, and adjusting the door balance. Annual service can extend your door's lifespan by years and prevent costly emergency repairs. If your door is used heavily (more than 4-5 times daily) or is older than 10 years, consider semi-annual maintenance.

What should I do if my garage door won't open or close?

First, check if the opener is receiving power and that the photo-eye sensors aren't blocked or misaligned. Try the wall button and remote to isolate the issue. If the door won't move manually (after disconnecting the opener), the problem is likely broken springs—do not attempt to operate it as the door is extremely heavy. Check for obstructions in the tracks and ensure the door isn't locked. If troubleshooting doesn't help, call Garage Door Hillsboro at (541) 845-3463 for same-day service.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-4 hours for a single door and 5-6 hours for a double door. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and hardware, setting up the opener if included, and testing all safety features. More complex installations involving structural modifications, new opener installation, or custom doors may take longer. We always provide a time estimate during your free consultation and work to complete the job in one visit.
