New Garage Door Installation

A new garage door installation replaces the whole door system: sections, tracks, springs, cables, rollers, seals and hardware, all sized to the opening. We measure the width, height, headroom and side room, work out the weight of the door that will go on, and choose a spring set for that weight. DASMA also advises against hanging a new door on the old track, since track and sections work as a system and the old rail may not fit the new section thickness, weight or headroom.

The big decisions are insulation, style and how the garage meets the house. An attached garage with a room above or beside it is part of the building envelope, so an insulated section and a snug perimeter seal change those rooms in winter. Style follows the street: flush steel, raised panel, carriage house or windowed. The installation includes hauling away the old door, an opener check, and a balance and safety test before we leave.
