Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

Absolutely. We're fully licensed and insured to operate throughout Grafton and the surrounding communities like Elyria, Lorain, and Medina. Our bonding protects you if anything goes wrong during installation or repair—that's standard for us, not something extra. You can request our credentials anytime before we start work. Peace of mind matters when someone's working on your home.

Which garage door opener brands do you work with?

We service and install LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain, Craftsman, and Wayne Dalton openers. If you already have one of these at home, we can maintain it or upgrade to a newer model. We don't push one brand over another—we recommend based on your door's weight, your garage setup, and your budget. Call us with your current opener model, and we'll let you know what makes sense for your situation.

My remote and keypad aren't working. Do you reprogram them?

Yes, reprogramming is usually quick and inexpensive. Before you assume the remote is dead, we'll check the batteries and test the receiver unit. If it's truly a programming issue, we can sync a new or existing remote in minutes. Sometimes it's just a dead battery—happens all the time. If your remote is old, we can source a compatible replacement and get you up and running same day.

Our garage door came off the tracks. Is it salvageable?

Off-track doors happen, especially after a rough winter here in Grafton and North Ridgeville when ice and salt can throw things off balance. We can almost always get it back on safely. The real question is whether the door or tracks are bent. If damage is minor, we realign and reinforce. If the frame or panels are creased, replacement might be smarter than pouring money into a band-aid fix. We'll assess and give you honest options.

What material should I choose for a new door—steel, aluminum, wood, or composite?

Steel is popular around here because it's durable through Ohio winters and affordable. Aluminum is lighter and won't rust, good for older homes in Wellington or Brunswick. Wood looks beautiful on historic properties but needs maintenance. Composite blends looks with low upkeep. Your home's style, climate exposure, and how much maintenance you want all matter. We'll walk you through pros and cons for your specific situation.

Can you install a smart opener like MyQ or HomeLink?

We install and set up smart openers regularly. MyQ lets you open your door from your phone, check if it's closed, and get alerts. HomeLink integrates with your car. Not every older opener can be retrofitted, but most modern doors can add a smart hub. We'll check compatibility, handle installation, and make sure your WiFi connection is solid. It's convenient, especially if you're managing multiple properties in Strongsville or Avon.

My garage door is really loud. What can we do about it?

Noise from an attached garage travels into your home fast. Usually it's worn rollers, a dry chain or belt, or loose hardware. We lubricate, tighten, and sometimes replace rollers—that's the biggest bang for your buck. Belt-drive openers are naturally quieter than chain-drive. If your opener is old, upgrading to a quieter model makes a real difference. A quick service call often cuts the noise in half.

Should I repair my garage door or replace it?

If your door is under 15 years old and the damage is one or two panels, a cracked spring, or a bad opener, repair usually wins. If it's 20+ years old, multiple broken springs, rust damage, or the frame is sagging, replacement is smarter long-term. We'll never push you either way. Bring us photos or let us come look, and we'll tell you what we'd do if it were our house in Grafton.

How often should I replace my weather stripping and seals?

Weather stripping wears out every 3–5 years, especially with Ohio's temperature swings and salt exposure near Lorain and Elyria. Check it each fall—if you see gaps, light coming through, or crumbling rubber, it's time. New seals keep cold and pests out, plus improve your heating and cooling efficiency. It's an affordable maintenance item that pays for itself. We can replace it during a regular service visit.
