Spring Repairs

We will Fix your Broken Garage Door

In most situations a company will come out and replace the spring with an entirely new spring. Even though there are some companies that will offer actual repairs on the broken spring, this is not recommended at all. Usually when springs break it is because the metal has become “weak.” Unfortunately metal will weaken over the course of time, especially when it is put under constant strain. A broken spring could be due to a multitude of reasons: weather, heavy usage, poor quality products, and etc. In this case, repairing it would be comparable to patching up a pair of worn out jeans. If you found a rip in your old tattered jeans, patching it to cover the rip might work, but eventually the jean will rip somewhere else. It could be the next day or even a month from now. But getting the item replaced entirely would avoid this (soon to be) problem.

If one spring breaks, we also recommend that you replace the second spring along with the one that broke. The reasoning behind this is that you want your springs to have the same amount of wear and tear on them. In many situations, when one spring breaks, the second one will break soon after. In the case that you have one broken spring and decide to only change one, if the second one breaks within the following days or month, this would cost you more money in the longrun. Consider the time you would save by doing it all at once. You would only pay for one service call (if there is one) and you would only have to take one day off from work. Also, in many cases, the garage door company will actually give you a discount for buying a set. By changing out two springs, you save time and money.

Wood garage doors are a great way to up the value of your home. There are many types of wooden doors one can choose from. A great way to save money and still accomplish the look of a wooden door is to purchase an engineered wooden sectional door. These doors are tested to hold up to many weather factors. If you really want to stun passer-buyers then you should go with the swing out garage door. This consists of two doors that swing open. The down side to this type of door is that it can only be opened manually. This type of door can add a visual enhancement that many only dream about. Door-Mart Garage Doors specialize in custom doors such as these. If your looking to purchase a wood door I would advise that you to go with a company that specializes in just that.

Think of your garage door as a movable wall that gives your house more of a curb appeal. New home owners are constantly looking for ways to up the value of their home. One way to do so is to invest in a new garage door. Advances in the way garage doors look have in recent times sky rocketed. Many older homes come equipped with the basic wood door or a basic steel roll-up door. After twenty years these doors can look very drab, lowering the property value. Some of the newer doors do not look like garage doors at all. You can choose from many types: unique doors, arched openings, stained glass designs, any type of wood sectional, copper doors, custom ornamental hardware, and even carriage house doors. These are only some of the advancements a homeowner can make in hopes of increasing their home value. In this era, curb appeal is key for the sell of a home or to maintain the property value.

One of the most common factors in having a noisy garage door is the roller itself. Many of the older doors come equipped with steel rollers. The newest innovation is the nylon roller. By the addition of the nylon roller it allows a softer rotation on the tracks. It makes a huge difference! We advise many customers to switch from the old style metal rollers to the nylon rollers because overall it offers a sleeker garage door. The additional quietness is a very good addition to any door.

Go Green!

Ever felt like you are throwing money out of the door? Instead of throwing money out the door try throwing some cash into your door. Under the stimulus legislation signed by President Obama on Feb, 17, 2009, tax credits for energy-efficient home improvements have been extended and increased significantly. That means that by taking the initiative of adding a new garage door in the years of 2009 or 2010 you can save money by helping to lower home energy consumption and costs, and it will help pay for itself this year through the tax credit incentive. Though past purchases in the year 2008 do not count toward your current tax incentive it should not deter you away from taking one step closer to improving your home.

The stimulus does have some regulations attached to it. You must have an installed door that has insulation. Go figure. By adding insulation you can reduce your energy bill. As a result of having an insulated door you can keep out those creepy little buggers. Say a group of large critters decide to walk into your garage when you are hosting a party all you need to do shut your new insulated door and BAM no more critters! You may be thinking “It will be hot if I close the door” but no. With an insulated door you can control the temperature. The additional insulation offers you a chill summer and a warm winter!

Not only does help to regulate temperature but it also help to eliminate clatter from the surrounding streets. That’s a selling point already! A typical neighborhood has a few teenagers which occupy it. As most people know, teenagers are the root of most loud noises i.e. parties, car stereo systems, ECT. Noises from the outside can enter through the garage and then in through the door leading to the home. These noises can cause many distractions in your home. As an alternative of dealing with this simply add a garage door that is insulated.

The garage door is obviously your largest opening in your home. Like I mentioned previously, your garage door will have a huge impact on your utility bill. In some sense you are wasting your money on something that is preventable. The tax credited offered by President Obama gives the homeowner a 30 percent savings off the material cost for the door. Sometimes even the manufacturer or dealer can offer incentives that up your purchase. Door-Mart has gone green! We are here to help you go green as well! Next time you think about throwing money out the door…Don’t instead think DOOR-MART!
