The Art of Garage Door Installation: What to Expect from Start to Finish Jul 28, 2025

When planning a garage door installation with 100 Percent Garage Door Service, it helps to know what the process entails from beginning to end. Whether you're replacing an old door or installing one for the first time, understanding the stages of installation can ensure the job is hassle-free and meets your expectations.

The journey begins with choosing the right garage door. At 100 Percent Garage Door Service, our experts guide you through various options to find a door that complements your home's design and meets your functional needs. Consider factors like material, color, insulation, and style. Steel is a popular choice for its durability, while wood offers a classic aesthetic. Insulated doors are ideal if your garage is attached to your home, as they help with energy efficiency.

Once you've selected the perfect door, our technicians conduct a thorough site inspection. We measure the opening of the garage to ensure your new door is the right fit and check for any structural modifications needed before installation. This step is crucial because precise measurements ensure a seamless operation and prevent potential issues later.

The next phase involves prepping the site for installation. This step usually includes clearing the area around the door, ensuring it is free from obstructions, and preparing any necessary tools and materials. Our team takes care of these details, allowing you to remain stress-free while we do the heavy lifting.

During the installation, technicians carefully remove your old garage door if applicable, and prepare to install the new one. This involves setting the door's tracks and panels correctly and attaching rollers, hinges, and other hardware. For this, precision is key as any misalignment can affect the door's performance. Rest assured, however, as our team at 100 Percent Garage Door Service has the expertise to install everything with meticulous attention to detail.

Once the door is in place, we focus on installing the garage door opener if you opted for an automatic system. This step involves mounting the motor, connecting the drive system, and programming the remote controls. After completing this, our team tests the operation several times to ensure the door opens and closes smoothly, and that the safety features are functioning properly.

The installation process concludes with a comprehensive safety check. We inspect the system to ensure all components are in perfect working condition. Our professionals are trained to spot potential issues that may not be immediately apparent to homeowners. Furthermore, they provide you with tips on maintaining the door to keep it functioning optimally for years to come.

Finally, we ensure you are both informed and comfortable with your new setup. Our team will guide you through the operation of your new garage door, answer any lingering questions, and offer maintenance tips to keep everything in top shape.

The art of garage door installation at 100 Percent Garage Door Service is about precision, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
