We measure the opening itself rather than relying on the old door's label, since framing settles and openings differ by a surprising amount. Width, height, headroom, side room and the condition of the jambs all affect which doors fit.
Most customers choose between insulated steel, carriage-house styles with an overlay, and modern flush or glass-panel designs. We install the brands we repair, including Clopay, Amarr and Raynor, and the door arrives with new springs, tracks, rollers and hinges, so nothing old is carried over except the opener, if it is in good shape.
Once the door is up, we pair it with the right opener; see opener installation.
Signs You Need New Garage Door Installation
- The door is dented, sagging or no longer closes tightly.
- Your door model has been discontinued.
- The garage is cold, and you would like an insulated door.
- You are repainting or re-siding and want the garage door to match.
- Repairs on the current door now cost nearly as much as replacing it.
Insulation and curb appeal
The area has cold winters. National Weather Service normals for Washington Dulles give a January average low of 25.2°F at Dulles, so an insulated door keeps a garage with a workshop or a wall shared with living space a bit warmer and noticeably quieter.
Of the occupied homes in Great Falls, 95.0% are owner-occupied (Census QuickFacts for Great Falls), so a new door is usually a choice someone lives with for years. We spend the time on color, window style and hardware.

Each figure is where a job begins, not where it ends. Most doors have two lift cables and one or two springs, and the final number moves with the door's weight, the hardware grade and how many parts have worn out. You hear it at the door before any work starts.
