If you have a do-it-yourself attitude, there are likely plenty of projects around the house that you feel completely confident in tackling yourself. You painted your living room, no problem. You changed the lever on your toilet, which was a breeze. You even patched a small hole in your living room’s drywall. But, what about your garage door?
When it comes to the mechanism that makes this heavy entry door go up and down, you might want to take a pass on fixing it yourself. Why? Some of the more common garage door repairs are best left to the professionals. Take a look at what these repairs are and why you need an expert to handle them.
Full Replacement
You need a new garage door, and you found one online. You also found a video on how to replace it. It seems easy, right? Wrong. There’s a reason why there are trained professionals in this area. Replacing a garage door isn’t exactly a simple process. Because a garage door is the largest moving piece of equipment in your house, compared to other home DIY fixes, such as painting or hanging a picture, this is a major project.
Not only can the pros install the door for you, but they can help you to pick the one that works best for your home. Keep in mind, just because something looks ‘good’ online or in the big-box store doesn’t mean it will work for your specific situation. The professional door dealer will come out and field verify all measurements before you order!
Electrical Issues
Unless you have training in handling the various components of your home’s electrical system, this is one problem that you really can’t afford to fix yourself. Electrical-related accidents are responsible for 5 percent of all job-related fatalities each year, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). And that’s among specialists who are trained to work with electrical systems.
Now imagine what could happen when an untrained person (that’s you) tries to work with live wires. Never try to rewire or fix the electrical components of your garage door opener. This is a job for the professionals. Doing it your self could result in burns, electrocution, or worse.
Springs and Cables
It may seem like making simple adjustments to the springs and cables on your garage door isn’t a major job. But these are parts that could easily snap and injure you. Adjusting these to the wrong tension may make them break, dropping the door down on you. Another possibility is that you could get hit with a flying spring or metal cable.
Along with the physical dangers of making these adjustments on your own, there’s also a high-cost element. If you break the parts of your garage door, replacing them entirely may cost you more than a professional adjustment would have. When it comes down to it, leave this one to the experts. They have the know-how and the tools to do it right the first time.
Panel Problems
One of the panels broke, fell off, or cracked. It’s just a cosmetic issue. At least, that’s what you thought. Fixing a panel on your garage door may much more than simple aesthetics. It may also include an underlying structural problem.
If you attempt to fix it yourself, you may end up damaging the door more than it was before. You also won’t know if you’ve actually gotten to the root of the issue. It’s possible that the panel broke or cracked because of a door malfunction. A pro can take a look, evaluate the situation, and provide the proper solution for the problem.

Your garage door takes up a lot of visual space on your house’s façade, so it has a significant impact on the curb appeal of your home. Just as the size of the garage itself can influence the decision of potential buyers, the look of the doors can help draw their attention. Even if you’re not selling your home anytime soon, make over the look of your house by replacing the garage door. Evaluate the Façade of Your House The first step in updating your house’s façade is evaluating it. Walk around on your block and evaluate your house’s exterior from different angles. Pay attention also to how your house looks when you see it from the street from the first time. Likewise, note what visual impact the garage door has from the street. From there, it’s important to evaluate how you want to improve the exterior of your house. Perhaps you have a simple ranch style, but you want to make it look more modern. Conversely, maybe you have a Victorian-style home and you want to emphasize the ornate aspects of the style. In fact, there are many styles, ranging from ultra-modern to historical, as well as provincial styles, such as Cape Cod, Georgian, and Victorian. The set style of a house can help drive the decision in garage door styles. Settle on a Door Style Once you’ve noted how your garage entrance interacts with the look of your house, it’s time to choose a style for your replacement door. When considering the door style, Better Homes and Gardens recommends choosing a door that suits your house’s architecture. Indeed, it should offer some complement to the façade. Think about the specific architectural elements in your home you want to emphasize. For example, maybe you want to echo the windows with glass panels in the door. As you work on making your decision, consider whether you want a stock or custom door. Naturally, stock doors are the most budget-friendly, but they offer limited design options. Full custom doors are more expensive, but you can choose exactly the look that best complements your house. You can also choose semi-custom doors, which are a cross between the two in looks and price. Choose a Color Scheme Besides style, another important consideration for your garage door is the color. According to the color you choose, the door can accent the façade or blend in with it. If your garage door takes up a lot of visual space as seen from the street, you may want to choose a color that matches the house. You can still accent the door’s architecture with the same color as the house’s trim. Conversely, you may choose a garage door in the accent color itself. This works well if the rest of the house makes a strong visual impact. In this case, the garage door can help highlight the architecture of your home. Consider your Material Choices Our choice in material impacts not only the look of the door, but also its durability. Budget options include aluminum and vinyl. Aluminum doors don’t rust, but they’re easier to dent. Vinyl doors require minimal maintenance and are almost dent-proof. Fiberglass doors are a little more expensive, but they don’t dent, rust, or crack. These materials work well with contemporary style houses. Wood is the traditional material for garage doors. Wooden garage doors offer a distinctive profile, making them ideal for provincial and historical homes. You do have to perform yearly maintenance on wooden garage doors to keep them looking fresh. That said, you could choose a wood composite door, which features the beauty of natural wood with minimal maintenance. Give your house’s façade a facelift by replacing your garage door. Use these tips to pick out a door, but talk to the experts at Shank Door about which garage door will best complement your home’s exterior and for professional help install the door.
Converting your garage is a great way to increase the living space in your home. This idea is a popular choice for many Americans and may be something that you’re considering. Compared to having an addition constructed, a garage conversion is relatively inexpensive and creates very little mess and disruption to your daily life. The challenge in deciding whether a garage conversion is right for your home is often figuring out whether the conversion will add value and desirability to your home or detract from key selling features. The solution is to create a conversion that works well as a living space but can also be easily and inexpensively reverted back to function as a garage by yourself or a new owner. One of the most important elements in achieving this multi-functionality is the right garage door. This door essentially needs to work as a sturdy and insulating wall for your conversion, while still functioning as a typical garage door. Here are the three most important features you’ll need to consider when choosing your new garage conversion garage door.
Glass Sections
One of the challenges of creating a successful garage conversion is providing the new living space with plenty of natural light. Often, a garage will only have a small window and two interior walls, providing limited opportunities for areas where natural light can enter. To solve this problem, install a garage door that has multiple transparent sections included in the body of the door. This will allow your garage conversion to receive more natural light without making you install traditional walls with windows to enclose the space. It may be advisable to also opt for glass sections that are located on the top edge of the door, as this will ensure your living space retains privacy even if your garage door faces directly towards the street.
Insulation
Doors account for a high percentage of heat loss and gain in American homes. Because a garage door covers a large space, the heat loss and gain caused by this feature can be magnified significantly. Installing an insulated garage door will mitigate this problem immensely. An insulated door will save you a significant amount of money on heating and cooling costs and also make your garage conversion a far more comfortable living space. Plus, there are several thermal options you can choose from for garage doors that are functional but also well-insulated. If you want an “Old World” décor, a timber or fiberglass door with an insulated foam core is the best choice for a garage conversion. These types of doors offer superior insulation properties and can still look amazing from both the inside and outside of your home.
Aesthetics
Finally, because your garage door is going to serve as an interior wall for your new living space and still be visible from the outdoors, this feature needs to be attractive. Many garage doors are utilitarian in looks, and, while functional, this type of door won’t do a great deal to enhance the aesthetics of the interior or exterior of your conversion. Fortunately, it’s possible to buy a garage door that looks as beautiful as it is functional. You can select from many different styles, including ornate traditional timber doors, warm and modern plank accent doors, and carriage house style doors. The right door can act as an eye-catching and unique feature that will enhance the interior of your garage conversion as well as increase the curb appeal of the exterior of your home. Finding the right garage door for your conversion project that fits all of these needs may feel a little daunting, especially with the wide array of doors that are available on the market. The helpful and experienced team at Shank Door will be able to guide you through the process and help you to find the perfect garage door for your home. Contact us to discuss your needs, ask any questions you may have, and find out about our large range of high-quality and beautiful garage door options.
Homeowners typically use their garage doors many times a day. Over the course of a year, your garage door can pass through thousands of opening and closing sequences. While garage doors are generally built to be fairly robust, over time even the sturdiest garage door is subject to wear and tear. Eventually, it will need to be replaced.
What’s the worst way to discover that your garage door requires replacement? The door refuses to open, your car is trapped in the garage, and you can’t get where you need to go. Avoid that situation. Look for these three signs that may indicate that your garage door is on its way out.
Damaged Wires, Cords, or Parts
If your garage door has broken wires or cords, contact a professional to investigate further. Only a licensed and registered contractor should attempt to deal with potential damage to electrical fixtures. The cords and wires control your garage door’s movements, so once these are damaged, you will find it quite difficult to open and close your garage doors safely. Some parts can be easy to fix, while others require the whole garage door to be replaced.
Another thing to consider is how much energy your garage door uses. Your energy bills could be increasing because your garage door is not operating efficiently and is using more energy than it should. Damaged wiring or an aging garage door may cause this problem. The new garage doors on the market today are a lot more energy efficient than older styles.
Opening and Closing
Generally, when you push the controller button to open or close your garage door, it should respond instantly. However, if your garage door has a slower response than normal, or if it becomes stuck half way up or down, it may be reaching the end of its functional life.
If your garage door has become unresponsive or erratic when opening or closing, ask a technician to look at it as soon as possible. A door that is stuck half open can be a security risk for your home, and it may also pose a safety risk for you or your family. You don’t want it to suddenly drop while someone passes underneath.
Noises or Shaking
Older-style garage doors make a lot of noise when they open and close. However, if the noise becomes excessive or increases dramatically over a short period, your garage door likely has a serious problem with the mechanisms, and it may be time to invest in a new garage door.
If your garage door shakes and shudders as it opens or closes, your garage door likely has broken or worn parts which are making the door move unevenly. It’s possible that your garage door may be easy to repair, but only a professional contractor will have the knowledge and experience to know for certain.
If you suspect that your garage door is nearing the end of its life, you’ll need to get professional advice. Trying to fix the door yourself isn’t a wise idea, nor is delaying an inspection of the door until it becomes unusable and potentially dangerous. Every year, thousands of Americans are injured by garage doors. Many of these injuries may have been prevented by repairing or replacing the garage door in a timely manner, and by ensuring that only skilled professionals service, repair, and install them.
If you’re unsure about whether to replace your garage door, contact the helpful team at Shank Door. They can assess your garage door’s condition and advise you on the best course of action to take.
