Garage Door Installation in Attleboro, MA
Sometimes a repair no longer makes sense. We install new garage doors for Attleboro homes and set up the springs, track and opener so the new door is balanced from day one.
When a new garage door makes sense
Replacement is worth discussing when:
- Panels are rusted through, cracked or badly dented.
- The door has no insulation and the garage is attached to the house.
- Repairs keep adding up on an old door.
- The door is a heavy, dated one-piece or wood door.
- You want a different style for the house.
Insulated vs non-insulated doors
Insulated doors
Foam-filled steel doors are sturdier, quieter and help an attached garage hold heat through a Massachusetts winter.
Non-insulated doors
Single-layer steel doors cost less and can suit a detached garage used only for storage.
Choosing a door for this climate
Freeze and thaw, salt and damp all work on a door here. A good bottom seal, weather stripping and a steel skin that resists rust are worth more than decorative extras.
The springs are sized to the weight of the specific door, so a heavier insulated door gets heavier springs, not the old ones.
What's included in an install
Removing the old door, fitting new sections, track, springs and cables, and adjusting the opener to the new door.
We'll talk through styles and options so you know what you're choosing.
Keep the old springs out of it
Removing an old door means safely unwinding its springs first. It's one of the most dangerous parts of the job and the reason a door removal is not a weekend project.
