What to Expect During Your Garage Door Installation or Repair

Having a garage door installed or repaired can feel like a big project, but knowing what to expect can make the process smoother and less stressful. 

At L. & L. Overhead Garage Doors, we take pride in providing expert service and clear communication every step of the way. Whether you’re replacing an old door or need a repair, here’s what to expect when you partner with our team of experts. 

The Consultation and Estimate

The process starts with a consultation. Our team will assess your needs and provide recommendations based on your budget, style preferences, and requirements. 

For installations, we’ll discuss materials, insulation options, and smart technology features. For repairs, we’ll diagnose the issue and offer a straightforward estimate.

Scheduling and Preparation

Once you approve the estimate, we’ll schedule a convenient time for the installation or repair. 

For installations, we recommend clearing the area around the garage door to ensure a smooth process. If you’re in need of a repair, we’ll walk you through how to prepare for the appointment, such as securing pets or moving vehicles.

The Installation Process

On installation day, our team will arrive with all necessary equipment and materials. The process typically includes:

  • Removing the old garage door (if applicable)
  • Assembling and installing the new door
  • Connecting and testing the opener system
  • Ensuring proper alignment and balance for smooth operation
  • Adding any smart features or insulation upgrades
  • Walking you through any questions about your new garage door

A standard garage door installation can often be completed within a few hours, depending on the complexity of the job.

The Repair Process

For repairs, our experts quickly diagnose the issue and implement the best solution. Common repairs include:

  • Replacing broken springs or cables
  • Fixing misaligned or damaged tracks
  • Adjusting opener settings and sensors
  • Lubricating and maintaining moving parts for better performance

Most repairs are completed the same day to get your garage door back in working order as soon as possible.

Final Inspection and Testing

After installation or repair, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything functions correctly. We’ll test the door’s movement, safety features, and opener response. Our team will also walk you through the operation and maintenance tips to extend the lifespan of your garage door.
