We also offer financing options for larger projects like new door installations. Our technicians can process payments on-site, and you'll receive a detailed invoice for your records.

Question 4

What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Accepted Answer

Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the garage door opening and use torque to lift the door. They're generally safer, longer-lasting, and provide smoother operation. Extension springs are mounted on either side of the door and stretch to provide lifting power. While less expensive initially, they have a shorter lifespan and can be more dangerous if they break. We typically recommend torsion springs for their superior performance and safety features.

Question 5

What R-value insulation do you recommend for FL?

Accepted Answer

Given Florida's warm climate, we generally recommend garage doors with an R-value between 12-18 for optimal energy efficiency. If your garage is attached to your home or used as a workspace, a higher R-value (16-18) can significantly reduce heat transfer and lower your energy bills. We offer polyurethane insulated doors that provide excellent thermal protection while being thinner and lighter than polystyrene alternatives.

Question 6

Do you offer senior or military discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We proudly offer a 10% discount to seniors (65+) and military personnel (active duty and veterans). Simply let us know when scheduling your appointment, and we'll apply the discount to your service. This discount can be applied to both repair services and new installations. Thank you for your service!

Question 7

What garage door style is most popular in San Antonio?

Accepted Answer

In San Antonio, we see strong demand for carriage house style doors that complement the Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean architecture common in the area. Traditional raised panel doors in warm earth tones remain popular for their classic appeal. Contemporary homes often choose modern aluminum and glass designs. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your home's architecture, your personal style, and your budget.

Question 8

What causes garage door cables to fray?

Accepted Answer

Garage door cables can fray due to several factors: normal wear and tear over years of use, misaligned drums or pulleys that create friction, rust from moisture exposure, or sudden stress from a broken spring. Regular maintenance can help identify cable wear before it becomes a safety hazard. If you notice fraying, don't use the door—call us immediately for a safety inspection.

Question 9

Absolutely! We service all types of garage door keypads and entry systems. Common issues include worn buttons, dead batteries, wiring problems, or programming issues.

Question 10
