A new garage door is one of the few home upgrades that delivers on every front at once: curb appeal, security, insulation, and quiet operation. We help homeowners choose the right door for the home - not the most expensive one - and professionally install it so it operates like it should for decades.

  • Free in-home consultation with samples
  • Insulated, hurricane-rated, and salt-air options for coastal homes
  • Old door removed and hauled off
  • Manufacturer warranty + 1-year labor warranty

What we install

Wood and steel roll-up and sectional overhead doors in flush, ribbed, raised-panel, and carriage-house styles; real wood and wood-overlay carriage doors; full-view aluminum and glass doors for modern homes; and storm-rated and salt-air-resistant options for coastal properties. We carry Northwest Door, Martin Door, Wayne Dalton, and Carriage House - and we work with manufacturers’ custom programs when a homeowner wants something specific.

Sizing, finish, and operator chosen together

Door weight, spring sizing, opener horsepower, and rail length all interact. We size the operator to the door, not the other way around, and we set travel limits, force limits, and the auto-reverse so the system runs quietly and safely from day one.

Clean install, no surprises

We remove and haul away the old door, and walk you through the new opener, remotes, MyQ setup, manual release, and the monthly balance check. Written estimate up front, fixed price, no last-minute add-ons.

Brands we work with

We install and service every major manufacturer in this category, including LiftMaster openers, Northwest Door, Martin Door, Wayne Dalton, Janus International, Hörmann, C.H.I, and Carriage House. If your existing door is from a brand we haven't worked with, give us a call - there's a strong chance we can still service it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a new garage door installation take?

A standard single or double residential door takes 4-6 hours start to finish, including old-door removal, new-door installation, opener install or re-program, and walkthrough. Custom wood and carriage-house installs can run a full day.

Insulated or non-insulated?

This can depend on your garage door activity. For basic car security and storage, a standard, non-insulated door works. If you intend to spend time in the garage using it as an exercise room, office, shop, craft room or pet quarters, or just want a clean, solid door, an insulated door would be your best choice. This door helps keep the temperature in your garage cool during the summer and warmer during the winter.

Can you match the architecture of my home?

Yes. Carriage-house styles for Spanish, Mediterranean, and ranch homes; flush and full-view glass for modern and contemporary; raised-panel and ribbed for traditional. We bring samples and color chips on the consultation.

Do you handle the city permit?

Most jurisdictions in our service area do not require a permit for like to like residential garage door replacements. Structural changes to the opening do. Guidance and direction will be provided if a permit is needed.

What's the warranty?

Manufacturer warranty on the door and opener (terms vary by product - typically 10 years to lifetime on the door, 5-10 years on the opener), plus a 1-year labor warranty from us.

Had a problem with our opener rail and another broken hinge. Great service with nice workmen who serviced the whole door too. Very happy.

Kyle, Ginger and Drew were all fantastic. They were so professional, detailed and responsive. Drew's installation was so seamless. I got to watch him at various stages of the garage door installation.
