Getting new garage doors in place can come with a few issues. Here’s a list to give you an idea of what you will need. With a little extra time and effort, you won’t have to worry about ending up with cheap doors.
Avoid Wood Doors
Real wood looks fantastic. But if you can’t maintain the material, it can turn into a maintenance nightmare. You have better, long-lasting options when you shop around for garage doors in Medford. That, or just go for a faux wood-grain finish. You can also pick a garage door with a wood composite overlay. Those options will look remarkably similar to real wood but will last you longer.
Fix Your Insulation
Before you get your new doors in place, have your existing frame or structure checked. Do you need to fix anything? Upgrade the insulation before you add the doors. That’s hitting two birds with one stone.
Get Bigger Springs
Beefier springs make it easy for the doors to go up and down. Standard torsion springs—the kind most garage doors use—are rated for about 10,000 cycles, which goes quicker than you think. The 10,000 cycles should be done in less than five years. Get springs rated for 20,000 cycles. That will last you twice as long, so your garage doors work for far longer.
Install a New Opener
When you buy new doors, it’s a good idea to get a new opener, too. Replacing it along with the door will save you money in the long run, given the installation and labour. You may even find package deals.
