Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs that my garage door needs repair or replacement?
Common signs include loud noises, uneven movement, slow operation, sagging sections, or a door that won’t fully open or close. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to schedule an inspection before the problem worsens.
How often should I service my garage door system?
Most manufacturers recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular tune-ups help prevent unexpected breakdowns, extend the door’s lifespan, and keep your home safe.
What’s the difference between repairing a garage door and replacing it?
Repairs address issues like broken springs, cables, rollers, or openers. Replacement is recommended when the door is severely damaged, outdated, unsafe, or no longer cost-effective to repair.
How long does a typical garage door installation take?
Most standard installations can be completed in a few hours. More complex systems or custom doors may take longer, but we always complete the job as efficiently as possible without sacrificing quality.

How long do garage door springs typically last?
On average, torsion springs last between 7–10 years depending on usage. If your door becomes heavy, uneven, or fails to open, the springs may be nearing the end of their lifespan.
What should I do if my garage door won’t open or close?
First, check the opener batteries, sensors, and power source. If everything appears normal and it still won’t operate, it’s best to stop using the system and call a professional to avoid further damage.
Are new garage doors more energy-efficient?
Yes. Modern doors are built with improved insulation, weather-sealing, and materials that help reduce heat loss—especially beneficial in New Mexico’s temperature swings.
