Local homeowners understand the importance of maintaining their properties, from power washing siding to painting front doors. However, those with other outdoor structures like garages may not give them the same level of attention, as they tend to be used less often. This poses an issue since our extreme climate could leave you needing a garage door installation and repair in Placerville, CA.
At Rolling Garage Doors and Gates, our local team understands that garage doors usually go unappreciated and unnoticed — that is, until they break and cause inconvenience. Call our trusted professionals to get your garage door working like new again.
Placerville Garage Door Repairs
Placerville residents are no stranger to July and August 90-degree highs. If you have a garage, you’re also likely familiar with malfunctioning doors that fail to raise and lower on demand in this high heat and humidity. The cooler Placerville winter lows just above freezing point from December to February can further halt functions by cracking remote sensors and freezing the door shut.
Remote Sensor Repairs
If the remote sensor has an issue during the summer, it may mistake the sunlight glare for an obstruction. Moving it further into your garage or adding a shield so it works better under shade can be enough. However, winter cracks mean the garage company would have to replace the sensor and consider insulation options like a protective cover to prevent surface ice buildup.
During a garage door installation and repair in Placerville, CA, an expert will also consider the following remote control issues:
- Dead batteries
- Faulty wiring
- Misaligned sensors
Broken Springs
Garage door springs are another common issue that needs repairing after some time. For extension springs, it’s usually after 10,000 uses, while torsion springs can last 15,000 cycles. After they reach the end of their lifespans, snap from wear and tear, or rust from high moisture levels, our stellar team carefully removes the pressurized springs and replaces them with new, more efficient ones.
Other Common Garage Door Repairs
Depending on the issue, you may also need a(n):
- Opener replacement: The opener, a motorized device that maneuvers the door, may perform rigidly with strange noises or refuse to work entirely, requiring an opener replacement.
- Panel replacement: If the panels, which are the surface of your garage door, become scuffed, dented, or discolored, our team conducts a panel replacement without switching out the door.
- Track alignment: If your garage door is misaligned, off the track, or has visible gaps, it may need a track alignment repair.
Garage Door Installations in Placerville
Garage door installation and repair in Placerville, CA, sometimes involve installing a new door. If your door has reached the end of its 15-year lifespan and is irreversibly less efficient, a replacement is usually better than a repair.
Other times, excessive use or extreme weather can cause extensive wear and tear, leaving doors with multiple issues, such as cracked and warped panels, rusted attachments, and noisy functioning. So, a new door installation is the only way to regain structural integrity while increasing security and safety. During the process, you can choose a color, make, and model that best suits your needs and budget.
