New Homeowners: Garage Door Repairs

If you just moved, you probably have 100 things on your mind. You probably haven't thought much further than unpacking and organizing your belongings. When you do have a minute to catch your breath, you may want to take a look around your home and visually inspect some aspects. One of these elements should be your garage door. You may have had a home inspection when you were buying your home, which may have provided you with some cursory information about your garage door, but now that you own your home, it's time to take a closer look at the garage door! If you end up needing any repairs, our Vadnais Heights garage door repair technicians will be able to help.

Garage Door Openers

It is now recommended any garage door openers installed before 1993 be replaced. Laws were updated in 1992 to require more technological features on all garage door openers. Since these upgrades have made such a positive impact, we encourage you to replace any older garage door openers you may have. If you just moved into your home, you may not be sure how old your garage door opener is. In this case, give us a call and we'll come inspect it.

Repair or Replace?

As a new homeowner, you may not be sure whether your garage door is worth repairing, or if it's just time to replace it. Again, you may not know how old it is, or what shape it's really in. In most cases, it won't be difficult for our Vadnais Heights garage door repair experts to make necessary adjustments to your garage door to keep it working properly. However, in the event that you do need a whole new garage door, we can help with that too.

Garage Door Repairs for Summer

For those who didn't participate in spring cleaning, summer is a popular time to clean out the garage. Warmer weather can inspire residents of Shoreview to restore order inside and outside their homes. While you may be busy reorganizing the inside of your garage, you can't forget about your garage door. Put the broom down for a moment and take this opportunity to visually inspect your garage door. If you find anything out of the ordinary, our team of Shoreview garage door repair experts can help you get it back in working order.

Visual Garage Door Inspection

At Premium Garage Door, we can't stress enough how important it is to routinely check your garage doors. It is possible for you to catch any garage door repairs early and prevent a larger problem down the road. Below are some areas of your garage door to visually inspect:

• Springs: Check the garage door springs, to make sure they are still wound appropriately. If your garage door springs break, you'll probably know right away. But, just to be sure, give them a look over. If they look like they're on their last leg, give us a call.
• Door Track: If you notice any rust or bends in the track that shouldn't be there, it is important to get it taken care of right away. These issues could turn into costly repairs if you don't take care of them as soon as possible. Bends in the track make it hard for the garage door to operate smoothly.
• Garage Door Opener: This is another item you will probably notice right away if it's broken right away. But, if you look at it and you notice anything out of the ordinary, let us know.
• Windows: Check the windows of your garage door for any small cracks. These cracks can get larger with time. This can contribute to higher utility costs in your home, due to cold or warm air seeping in.
