Neighborhood Garage Door Service of Austin, Texas shares tips and techniques to keep your garage door running smoothly and stay in great condition. We are able to assist you with repairs, maintenance and complete installations.

One area that we suggest our customers to consider is to replace their old, rough looking garage door.  Typically, households have a running list of home improvement projects.  A garage door replacement seems to get pushed to the bottom but we think it should be a top priority.  Check out the reasons we encourage you to replace your old, poorly functioning door.

7 Reasons to Replace Your Old Garage Door

Noise

A brand new door opens quite smoothly and quietly.  The opposite is true as a garage door begins to age.  If you begin to hear your door opening and closing noisily then it may be time to get a replacement.  Don’t delay and let it continue to deteriorate.

Too Slow

Have you ever noticed a delay or that your garage door opens or closes slowly?  In reality, the door should react to your use of the garage door opener within seconds.  If you have a door that is not acting normally and becoming slower, then you may need to get a professional to look at it or have it replaced.

Attractiveness

Garage doors are one of the largest and most noticeable parts of your home.  They often face the street and are noticed daily.  If you have a door that is an older style and needs a little attention, then perhaps it is time to consider a new one.  Potentially, you could improve the curb appeal of your home and both you and your neighbors might be glad you did.

Safety

The newer the garage door, the better and more up to date the door will be with safety technology.  If you have an older model, then you may want to consider a replacement that would have a feature such as automatic reversal.  When there is something in the way of the door closing, then it will reverse automatically which is safer for your both people and pets.

An old door lacks the security and safety that our company suggests for your home.  We can handle any replacement if you need our assistance.

Damaged Doors

If your door has had repeated hits over the years, then the damages may be a reason to replace your overhead door.   Overtime, balls, bats, weather and even bump ups from vehicles can cause damage to garage doors.  If you want to enhance the appearance and make some repairs, then it may be time to consider a replacement rather than repair.

Power Bills

Your electric bill may go through the roof, over time, if you don’t have a door that seals well when it closes.   Also, you may have a poorly insulated door that could cause an increase to your monthly bills.  If and when you choose to replace your garage door, then be sure to select one that is well insulated.  You’ll be glad you did and so will your budget.

Malfunctions

The number one reason to replace your garage door is due to multiple and continuous malfunctions.  Your door should be a helpful benefit to your home for safety, convenience and more.  In the event that you notice more issues rather than convenience, then we encourage you to replace rather than continue to struggle with your malfunctioning door.
