A standard Weston garage door replacement takes most of a day. Here is the sequence, so you know what should be happening and when.
Before We Arrive
Clear roughly three feet of working space along both jambs and in front of the opening, and move vehicles out of the garage the night before. If the opener is staying, we still need access to the ceiling rail and the motor head.
The permit should be issued before installation day. We pull it with the product approval for your specific door size, and the inspection is scheduled after the door is operating.
Removal and Preparation
The old door comes down section by section after spring tension is safely released. We remove the old track, brackets and hardware completely rather than reusing any of it, then inspect the jambs for rot, spalling or loose anchors.
Jamb condition is where hidden work sometimes appears. If the wood jamb is soft or the block behind it is compromised, the new door has nothing to anchor to and it has to be corrected before we proceed. We show you the condition and the cost before doing that work.
Setting the New Door
Sections are stacked and joined in the opening, the track is set plumb and square, and the torsion assembly is mounted and wound to the calculated turn count for your door weight. Struts, seals and stop molding follow.
The opener is then attached or replaced, travel limits and force settings are set, and safety reversal is tested with an obstruction on the floor and with the photo eyes.
Handover and Inspection
We walk you through operation, the emergency release, remotes, keypad and app, and leave the product approval documentation with you for the inspector and for your insurance wind mitigation report.
