Buying a new garage door is a great way to upgrade the look of your garage to match with a home renovation, upgrade or a new paint or siding project. However, while some things around the home are great do-it-yourself projects garage door installation in Phoenix is not in this category.
Trying to do your own garage door installation in Phoenix may initially seem like a simple way to save money. When you read the instructions provided by the manufacturer for installation they may not seem all that complicated, but that is before you are trying to lift, move and correctly position that door to work with your electric door opener or even to simply get into the tracks.
You Need Help
You cannot install a garage door on your own, and it is important that everyone working on the installation has the ability to lift the weight of the panels to help you. Keep in mind that you will also need to take down the existing door and the tracks, which will take additional time and effort.
You will typically need to assemble the panels and follow the specific instructions of the manufacturer. Taking shortcuts for your garage door installation in Phoenix may seem like a good idea at the time but will result in a door that isn’t level or that doesn’t operate properly.
The Length of the Process
For a typical single garage door installation in Phoenix a person with some building and construction experience should plan for about 5 hours to remove the existing door and install the new door. This includes placing all the necessary hardware and connecting the overhead garage door opener.
Remember too that the garage door installation in Phoenix will involve drilling holes, placing hardware in position and then installing the tracks and ensuring the door opens correctly.
With so many different steps involved and accuracy and understanding of just what you are doing required with every step, hiring professionals for garage door installation in Phoenix is a very good idea. This ensures that your door is installed correctly to provide security and beauty as well as functionality to your home.
