FAQs

We both repair existing garage doors and install new ones. Garage Doors Today installs a range of new doors from brands like DoorLink, CHI, and Haas, including insulated steel-back doors and carriage-house styles. We also replace openers, springs, rollers, and other parts if you’re not ready for a full new door.

If your garage door won’t close all the way, the most common cause is misaligned or dirty safety sensors near the bottom of the tracks. Other possible issues include objects blocking the door, incorrect travel limit settings on the opener, or damaged wiring. If basic cleaning and checking for obstructions don’t fix it, we can diagnose and repair the problem safely.

Most homeowners should have their garage door professionally serviced once a year. If your door is used heavily—multiple vehicles, kids in and out, or it’s your main entrance—you may benefit from a tune-up every 6–12 months. Regular lubrication and adjustment help prevent noisy operation, premature wear, and unexpected breakdowns.

We often install the LiftMaster 84505R for homeowners in the Greenville area. It’s a quiet belt-drive opener with built-in LED lighting, Wi-Fi and MyQ smartphone control, and an integrated camera for added security. We also install and service other LiftMaster models and can help you choose the best opener based on your door size, usage, and budget.

Nylon rollers are quieter, smoother, and more durable than standard black plastic rollers. They usually have sealed bearings that reduce friction and wear, which helps your opener work less hard and can extend the life of your whole system. Upgrading to nylon rollers is one of the simplest ways to make your garage door run more quietly and reliably.

Your garage door spring may be broken if the door will not open, opens only a few inches, or feels extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually. You might also see a visible gap in the spring or hear a loud “bang” when it breaks. If you suspect a broken spring, stop using the door and call a professional—springs are under high tension and can be dangerous to repair yourself.

Our Garage Door Tune-Up Special includes: lubrication of all moving parts (hinges, rollers, tracks, bearings, and springs), a full door balance check, adjustment of opener force and travel limits, inspection of safety sensors, and tightening of hardware where needed. It’s a full safety and performance check to keep your door quiet, safe, and reliable.
