Settling on a door first
Picking a door is a big call. Nothing else on the house moves as much or takes up as much of the front, and through a Cook County winter it also affects how cold the garage feels. What suits you hinges on the opening, the house and what the space is for.
Our conversation begins with the opening and the look you have in mind, then covers material and hardware. Here is what we go through together.
How an installation goes
A home door and a commercial door follow one sequence; the size is what differs.
- Taking measurements and settling on the door with you
- Pulling out the old door and hardware, if there is one
- Mounting track, springs, cables and the new sections
- Hanging the opener and connecting the wall control
- Setting the balance and testing the auto-reverse
- Clearing away packaging and scraps
Steel, wood-look, aluminum and glass
Insulated steel is a popular pick when the garage shares a wall with the house. Wood-look surfaces give the carriage-house appearance without painting and staining. Aluminum frames with glass panels sit well on contemporary homes and shop fronts. Tell us which you are leaning toward and we will explain the trade-offs.
Home entry or business doorway
Sizing and specifying a business doorway is a different exercise from a house door. It is usually wider, the door cycles much more, and the operator must be built for that workload. We fit both.
For a commercial job, send the dimensions and describe the use, such as deliveries, a showroom or a service bay, and we will go through which door and operator make sense.
What you get from a visit
Made for your opening
We measure the doorway and order to those dimensions, so the door closes snugly and travels straight.
A look that fits the house
Carriage-style, smooth modern, classic raised-panel and full-glass doors, built from the materials each design uses.
Talk it over first
We go through the options by phone or on your driveway before any order is placed.
Opener ready to use
Wi-Fi and smart openers linked up with the door, and the wall button and remotes all working.
Garage door installation questions
Will you help me pick a style?
Gladly. Describe the house, the opening and how the garage gets used, and we walk through raised-panel, carriage, modern and glass designs, along with what each is made of, ahead of your decision.
Do you put in doors for commercial buildings?
We do, both residential and commercial. For a business doorway, tell us how large the opening is and what the door is used for, then we will discuss which door and operator fit.
Can the new door come with a Wi-Fi opener?
Yes. We set up Wi-Fi and smart openers alongside the new door, so it responds to the wall button, a remote or a phone, and we demonstrate it before we go.
What happens to the door I already have?
Taking out the existing door and its hardware belongs to an installation or replacement visit whenever there is one to remove. Mention it when you call so the visit is planned around it.
